Hi Deathlibrarian, I hope you have been well.
I thought you might possibly be interested in hearing about an unusual epilogue to that dispute around those e-motorcycle articles earlier in the year.
You might recall that a certain agressive Wiki editor with admin powers seem to have an obsession with a those particular articles, constantly throwing around allegations of conflict of interest and and so on. I did my darndest to engage with the editor and repeatedly attempted to challenged the various claims, but it felt a little like arguing with a brick wall, and ended up getting dragged out for months. Despite my efforts to debate the issue, it seemed that every time I logged on to Wikipedia he would pop up, sending me a messages repeating the same type of claims.
A few months ago, I noticed he had suddenly become very quiet. I did some poking around, and it turned out the editor's account had been suspended from Wikipedia. Apparently, this was due to suspicions that the editor had recieved payments for some of his edits.
Bizarrely, even though his user page stated he spoke American English, lived in South Carolina and so on, apparently, the editor was actually Indian. Inchiquin ( talk) 13:54, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
