Same topics of interest and POV pushing in the articles, Bengali Kayastha (for which the sockmaster was blocked) and now Bengali Brahmin.

Nobita456 came up with so many socks and tried to push their POV in sensitive caste articles quite some time back, it would be difficult to provide differences; but the behavioral pattern including style of writing is same. I can provide more evidence if the admins are not convinced.

The greatest evidence for now is the Editor Interaction utility; please check this! Ekdalian (talk) 07:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC) Ekdalian (talk) 07:29, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another behaviour evidence: Nobita456 and their socks used to be online most of the time, and would respond immediately; same is applicable for the suspect, as also evident from their comments on this page. Ekdalian (talk) 12:38, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that till now, the user/suspect has not even denied clearly that they do not represent another sock from the same sockfarm! Rather, they have acknowledged that they knew Wikipedia rules before joining using the username Timovinga! Ekdalian (talk) 16:51, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe some caste warriors don't like me, leaving everything aside, did you just call me a POV pusher [everyone agreed] with me except you? Timovinga (talk) 08:43, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are misrepresenting facts! LukeEmily's arguments are almost same as my views. But this is not the right forum to discuss. God knows who's the caste warrior! @Fylindfotberserk: you may share your opinion (obviously regarding the SPI) in case you have other observations! Thanks.

There is no god, even blinds can see you are a Kayastha POV pusher. Timovinga (talk) 10:22, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A newbie user having an in-depth knowledge of Wiki guidelines, policies, sub-projects and even obscure consensus and essays is kinda suspect. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:52, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody had any problem until I exposed POV edits, now you guys are teaming up, and in which universe one year is a newbie? Timovinga (talk) 12:15, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was pinged here. One year is a newbie period. Besides, your edits / edit summaries from the very beginning are proof enough. Newbies wouldn't know Wiki jargons like "WP:RS", "Copyedit", obscure South Asia specific essays like "RAJ era sources", as well as the "Basic WP rule, no source no mention. Most of newbies would add/change content without paying any heed to WP:V anyway. This one (your 9th edit) is a dead giveaway. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:19, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I knew wiki rules way before I created my account. Timovinga (talk) 13:43, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And WP:RS, WP:V and WP:RAJ they are the basic foundations of WP! a one month old editor does know these rules! Timovinga (talk) 15:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheSandDoctor: I partly agree, though you seem to be missing the (other) points. Having knowledge of the core Wiki guidelines and policies, writing GA/FA status articles, becoming a new page reviewer/admin isn't the same as having an understanding of obscure project specific policies and essays. A lot of 10-20 year Wikipedians (admins including) aren't aware of the project specific guidelines and consensuses (WP:INB related for example), which isn't surprising. Not to mention WP:RAJ, which is an essay on caste-related topics concerning South Asian-related articles only and it is not a "basic foundations of WPI" as the suspected SP as put. Timovinga has demonstrated knowledge of those within 1-2 months of account creation. Also, their 9th edit was to open an SPI against Winged Blades of Godric. How many newbies could/would do that? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:29, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noob attempt TBH. Timovinga (talk) 13:09, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

@Fylindfotberserk: I would caution against generalized statements like saying one year is still the newbie period and a general belief that editors with under a years' worth of experience can't possibly know policies. My RfA was successful in June 2018, with ~18 months' experience. By the 4 month mark I was a new page reviewer, the 5 month mark a page mover. By the one year mark I'd already written Video game walkthrough and brought it through GA (that was actually inside 8 months from creating my account), created Ali-A and got Mick Jagger up to GA the following month. 1 year is quite a long time to become familiar with policies; it isn't that hard and it is plausible to have just read policies like I did before doing things (for the most part).
