Ethics Workshop Participation Request
Hi! We're conducting a series of participatory workshops with Wikipedia editors, administrators, researchers, and Wikimedia employees to discuss, and hopefully improve, Wikipedia's structures for online research (see meta research page). In an effort to get the right people in the room to discuss these topics, I'm reaching out here to see if you are interested in participating as an active administrator. We'd work with you to ensure this workshop can fit into your schedule, but are targeting end of April/early May. I'm happy to discuss any of these topics further here or on our talk page.

Query
Hello, Bilby,
I was deleting a broken redirect to Gondwana Ecotour an article you deleted on grounds of CSD G5. This is confusing to me because the page creator is not a block-evading sockpuppet and the article wasn't tagged for speedy deletion. Can you tell me who the sockmaster is for this editor? Because they aren't blocked on any grounds. Thank you for any information you can provide to clear this up. Liz Read! Talk! 02:55, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Liz! The author is a sock of User:Eyoab based on off-wiki evidence. I am passing that on to paid-en, but they tend to take a while to respond, and as there is no doubt of the connection I deleted it as part of a broader cleanup of multiple accounts in the sockfarm. - Bilby (talk) 03:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
