Sockpuppet investigation
[edit]Hello there Chanakal!
I recently saw that you added me to Wikipedia:sockpuppet investigations/Vidun Nethmira, and as evidence you added the school of mine as Maliyadeva College which is not! I added the school anthem in Sinhala refered from a website. Also you mentioned something about Userpage layout. Please note that it is possible for two Wikipedia userpages to have the same layout. Another thing is, using random boring words. Honestly I have No-idea what you meant by that! I added text to my Wikipedia userpage in English (*there can be grammatical mistakes as English is my L2 language).
Also, you mentioned that I've done 47 of my total edits on my own userpage. I joined Wikipedia after reading all policies and guidelines, and when I went to a couple of editor's userpages, I decided to create mine that way as well (Adding userboxes that match my personality etc.) Yes, I have done 47 of my total edits on my own userpage, but that's because all the excitement I got when I joined Wikipedia. Note that many editors edit their own Wikipedia Userpage before editing other pages.
Another proof was article descriptions. As an Wikipedian contributing using an Apple device, I can assure you that I get editing requests on the Edits tab. There, I found it easy to add article descriptions and increase my total number of contributions to English Wikipedia.
I hope these evidence is enough to proove that I'm not a sockpuppet of this user. If not, let me know. Maybe I'll be able to proove it again. If administrators confirm I'm a sockpuppet, do any action you can. I won't appeal an unblock because I'm already suffering from Wikistress and also feeling discouraged.
- As a Sinhalese, I think the name of this person reveals his real name of the user. Take any actions about that as well (if you can)
⚠️️Note that my English is not the best⚠️️

- @UtoD Identical to previous socks in user page layout, editing pattern etc. Machan, would you able to handle the SPI this time around? I am taking some time off and won't be editing regularly for a couple of months. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers. Chanaka L (talk) 12:59, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
