User talk:Kuru

Given the type of volunteer work I do here, I'm not comfortable with the WMF disclosing my identity or private information to municipal courts in foreign countries or with them making editorial decisions on behalf of same. While the outcome was sub-optimal (user data was leaked under seal via a SLAPP suit in an Indian court, the WMF has decided again recently to throw editors under the bus via frivolous legal actions. When I became an editor here, the WMF was all about user privacy and principled censorship stands; it now seems to be all about maintaining WMF operations. I'm taking a bit of a break; I'll watch the outcomes and evaluate my volunteer efforts accordingly.Sam Kuru (talk) 00:57, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CU?

Ever considered applying for CU? I think it would be a benefit to the project if you were and would align with the work you already do. S0091 (talk) 18:12, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind words. I've looked at it before - would certainly save time. I'll likely get more involved when I retire; which should be relatively soon. Sam Kuru (talk) 20:16, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Thesolicitors?

Hello, you speedied Rahul Kanal G5 in July. How similar is Rahool N Kanal, posted today by User:Nira Omega, created a few weeks after your block? Thanks. Wikishovel (talk) 14:09, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Prior version was created by the Richard Dotx sock and structured the same; one section is word-for-word and many of the sources are the same. This editor was created shortly after the farm was all globally blocked, and their first real edit was to vote "keep" on another re-created Richard Dotx AFD. Clearly the same person. Probably best to get a checkuser involved as I'm seeing multiple unblocked UPDE socks floating in there. Sam Kuru (talk) 16:47, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kuru: Can you reinstate this block? It seemed to have stopped them until it expired (see also the email I sent you about this.) Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 19:02, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
