== Undiscussed page moves and hijacking attempts by TSJ/Bensebgli/Anujror sockfarms ==
I saw that you blocked the TSJ's range and protected the redirects. I'm wondering if it's possible to undo the damage they've done by moving these long standing redirects by renaming back to their original name or merging their histories or deleting them. I tried but I got a error that states "page of that name already exists". These are the redirects that I'm talking about.
*] was moved to ] by {{noping|Varoon Punia}} and then moved to ] by {{noping|Ravish Dhankar}} (TSJ sock).
*] was moved to ] by {{noping|Vinuraj Solanki}} and was subsequently hijacked as a ] related article by {{noping|Santosh Semwal Uttarkashi}}. (Both TSJ socks).

::{{reply|Ratnahastin}} Done except for ] / ] because in that case I couldn't figure out where the article actually belongs and what its content (if anything) should be; several sockfarms seem to be involved; and, a few good-faith editors have weighed in (likely w/o being aware of the socking issues)making it ineligible for G5. I have protected the two pages so that non-sock knowledgeable editors can fix the content as they see fit.

Ratnahastin has an anti-BJP and pro-INC bias, and engage in edit war. Their edits are a mix of content removal (sourced), POV pushing, censoring, and misrepresentation of sources. Refer the edit history and talk page of ] in early April this year, also check the edit warring in ] from 31 March where the user tag-teamed with Rzvas for content removal without even providing a valid explanation. The problem in those articles still prevails.--] (]) 16:01, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi,


<div style="border-style:solid; border-color:red; background-color:#fff; border-width:2px; text-align:left; padding:8px;" class="plainlinks">]
A user ] is repeatedly removing sourced content (WP:RS) from ] article without any valid reason. He is telling any editor to have a discussion or consensus if they wanna add any information in the article. Moreover he is not accepting the statement of reliable sources and when I am asking him to provide any sources for support of his statement or views he isn't (see this ). The article prior to my most recent edits has numerous failed sources and wrong information in the lead, when i am correcting it, he is reverting my edits, removing wrong information and changing it to correct information doesn't require consensus or discussion. I have even quoted from the sources so that other editors could easily verify it. Kindly see to it.

:{{reply|Mohammad Umar Ali|PadFoot2008 }} I don't know offhand which of your preferred is superior or has consensus but I can second the advice {{u| Flemmish Nietzsche}} has offered several times on the page (eg and ) that edit-warring and arguing about what the article lede should state ''while'' the discussions are ongoing (or on hiatus) is unproductive. Until clear consensus is established, any "correction" you may make to the article is going to be unstable. So I would suggest that:
:# Get back to the article talkpage, and use ] if needed
:# Break up the problem into addressable chunks because it is unlikely that you will be able to settle all the differences seen in at one go.
:# Also consider whether all that detail belongs in the article lede (again, as Flemmish Nietzsche )
:# Stop reverting each other in the meantime!
:Note that if the current conduct continues, page protection or page blocks are likely. Hopefully, that won't be necessary though. Cheers. ] (]) 02:41, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
::That ] was just about one line and Flemmish didn't remove it after I added it but the rest of what I added see this is supported by reliable sources. While the previous version prior to my edit has wrong information, it's that sources say one this but lead contains entirely different information. I already had a discussion with him but he is providing no sources random statements of any user can't be included in the argument. The main problem is that he isn't accepting information stated by reliable sources nor he is giving any reliable sources for support of his claim. So please help me out. ] (]) 02:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
::Also I wanted to point out one more thing, Padfoot often ignores the discussion once he revert my edits you could see this from the many discussions me and Padfoot had on article's talk page. Now as he has restored the previous version he will likely not answer or delay the discussion. ] (]) 03:11, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
:::{{reply|Mohammad Umar Ali}} reading the discussions on the talkage, it is difficult for an outside observer to even determine what proposed addition or deletion is being argued over in which section. That is why I suggested the above steps. That way, even if you/PadFoot2008 cannot see eye to eye, you can point to the specific section where the particular edit was discussed and ''other'' discussants weighed in on one side. ] (]) 03:13, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
::::I have asked him ] now, if he answers that well and fine but I am sure he can't so he will ignore my msg that's the problem. Just please ensure he discusses that specific points nothing else. ] (]) 03:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
::::The thing which started the whole situation was PadFoot's rewrite of the entire lead which many people did not receive well but PadFoot reverted and responded to with "the lead was too long", despite that a deletion of the last paragraph in the former lead, which was indisputably not necessary for the lead, would shorten it enough. MuA (Mohammad Umar Ali) has since fought over the inclusion of different areas of greatest extent of the Marathas' borders (farther south and north than the ones in the lead prior to PadFoot's rewrite), which have peculiarly gotten increasingly southward throughout this dispute to . There has also been disputes over the neutrality of PadFoots new lead, which has stayed (I personally don't really care either way, except for the border situation which I think it would be better just to stay what the stable borders were) as of now. The first talk page discussion on this dispute was "WP:RAJ claim misunderstood by Rawn3012"; and has continued in most of the following discussions. ] (]) 04:10, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
::::::Thanks for the background, Flemish. I tried to read-through the that have been made since the page-move but the diff is hard to follow. Barring support for mass-revert, which I haven't seen so far, the best course forward may be to address any proposed changes on their merit without regarding the current version as necessarily having consensus behind it either. Cheers. ] (]) 02:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

They seem like a sock of Thakor Sumantsinhji Jhala, for example see this edit war over a redirect hijacking between them and an IP , I think they were edit warring while logged out with themselves to create an illusion of them not being TSJ because they reverted the IP only a minute later.
