== User:Editor of military - persistently unsourced, poorly sourced, and off-topic == {{atop|1=Their response to the pblock was to sock. Now indef'd. That's all folks. - [[User:The Bushranger|The Bushranger]] <sub>[[User talk:The Bushranger|<span style="color: maroon;">One ping only</span>]]</sub> 18:37, 17 March 2026 (UTC)}} [[User:Editor of military]] has been warned repeatedly, by multiple editors, against adding unsourced content, misrepresenting sources as supporting his additions when they do not, and adding off-topic information. He has not responded on his talk page or the talk pages of the articles involved, but has continued the behaviour. === Unsourced === * [[Special:Diff/1337318350]] Added to the list of wars in which the [[BTR-50]] was used the "[[India–Pakistan war of 1971]]", without citing a source. According to [https://armstransfers.sipri.org/ArmsTransfer/TransferData SIPRI], India received its first BTR-50s in 1978, and Pakistan has never received any, so it's highly unlikely that any were used in their 1971 war. * [[Special:Diff/1338702406]] Added casualties to [[Burma campaign]] without citing a source, just the edit summary "TRUE". * [[Special:Diff/1341260181]] Added to the equipment list of [[Bangladesh Air Force]] two prototype aircraft, without citing a source. === Poorly sourced === * [[Special:Diff/1337476492]] Added to [[Battle of Shiromoni]]'s list of Pakistani losses "3 [[M-113]]". As evidence, he added three undefined citations: "<nowiki>{{r|Dhaka Tribune}} {{r|Military Wiki - Fandom}} {{r|The Business Standard}}</nowiki>". I searched the archives of the ''Dhaka Tribune'' and ''The Business Standard'', but found no mentions of M-113s. The [[WP:UGC|user-generated]] Military Wiki on [[Fandom (website)|Fandom]] is not a reliable source. According to Gill's ''An Atlas of the 1971 India-Pakistan War: The Creation of Bangladesh'', Pakistan did have M-113s at the time, but they were all in West Pakistan, 1000 miles away through enemy territory, so it's unlikely that Pakistan lost any at Shiromoni. * [[Special:Diff/1339034780]] Added to [[Bangladesh Army Aviation Group]] "3 [[Beechcraft Super King Air]]". Misrepresented [https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1211&context=jate this] journal article as supporting the addition when it does nothing of the sort. === Off-topic === * [[Special:Diff/1337381446]] Added to the list of accidents and incidents related to [[Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport]] an aircraft flying from and to [[Silchar Airport|Kumbhigram]] that was hit by ground fire during a supply drop at [[Sylhet]]. No plausible flight path would have brought the plane within 100 miles of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. (The pages he cited make no mention of the incident, but it is mentioned on a different page, 119.) * [[Special:Diff/1337381446]] Added to the list of accidents and incidents related to [[Osmani International Airport]] an aircraft flying from [[Guwahati]] that was hit by ground fire while conducting close air support at [[Brahmanbaria]]. The cited book mentions the crash (on page 117, not on the pages he cited) but does not connect it in any way to Osmani International Airport (80 miles from Brahmanbaria). Nor does it support much of the other hallucinated? details he added (if was from No. 4 Squadron, for example). 80-90% of all their edits are problematic. One [[Special:Diff/1340047233|edit summary]] ("Search 'give me a crashes in kurmitola ww2' and you will find what I wrote") suggests he may be using an AI chatbot to generate content and find sources. They aren't communicating, aren't learning from their mistakes, and should be prevented from continuing their disruption. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 23:49, 13 March 2026 (UTC) :Indef'd from mainspace until they communicate. [[User:Voorts|voorts]] ([[User talk:Voorts|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Voorts|contributions]]) 00:13, 14 March 2026 (UTC) :It should be noted that quite a few of those edits are ones they shouldn't be making anyway, even if 100% correct, as they fall under [[WP:CT/IMH|the IMH portion of CT/SA]] which is under extended confirmed restrictions. - [[User:The Bushranger|The Bushranger]] <sub>[[User talk:The Bushranger|<span style="color: maroon;">One ping only</span>]]</sub> 23:15, 15 March 2026 (UTC) ::{{reply-to|Voorts|The Bushranger}} Now they're socking. {{U|Idk q1}} was created using the slang abbreviation "idk", something which is uncommon among editors who typically edit Bangladeshi topics, but which {{U|Editor of military}} has used before on their user page (since oversighted, I believe). Their first edit was to a Bangladeshi airline, a typical topic for the master. Their second edit was to [[User talk:Editor of military]], an extremely unlikely page for a new editor to stumble across accidentally. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 23:11, 16 March 2026 (UTC) :::Note also they ended their post on Eom's page with "bye", which Eom also used to end their user page. I hear enough quacking to [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Editor of military|toss this at SPI]]. - [[User:The Bushranger|The Bushranger]] <sub>[[User talk:The Bushranger|<span style="color: maroon;">One ping only</span>]]</sub> 23:28, 16 March 2026 (UTC) {{abot}}
