Applications

Does the section on Applications add anything much to this article? Seems to me it's mostly just a snapshot of PoV editors' attention-span with UAVs generally. Perhaps just a short discussion would be adequate? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:51, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

I agree. - Ahunt (talk) 19:56, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

It's not needed at all, in my opinion, as it's primarily about UAV, and relevant to all UAV helicopter types, not just quadcopters. Most of this was probably added by the quadcopter=drone folks. - BilCat (talk) 19:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Essentially it is bordering on Wikipedia:Fancruft. - Ahunt (talk) 20:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

OK, now gone. If we find RS on applications for which quadcopters have specific advantages, we can create a new section for it. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Our new edit warrior Raymachine24 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) looks like a sockpuppet of blocked user Aircrafts and motorboats (talk · contribs). Are any admins watching this? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:30, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Concur. Also, both accounts have used the name "Rehan Roy" on their talk pages, which is an admission that they are the same person. - BilCat (talk) 16:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

We have a Rehan Roy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), although they have not used that account since last Autumn. Looking deeper, Rehan Khan2050 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been indef blocked for multiple socks and some other "Rehan..." user accounts look a bit odd. I think we need a sock investigation to unearth what we might or might not have on our hands here. You never know, they might have a static IP. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Rehan Roy - I visit Wikipedia daily , but I do not Login to my account . Is it necessary to LOgin to my account periodically . I will really be pleased to hear the answer and other account mentioned here do not belong to me . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rehan Roy (talk • contribs) 04:06, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, if all this is nothing to do with you, then you have nothing to worry about. A checkuser would confirm that. But two other misbehaving accounts have used your name in their posts, so we may want to run that check to exonerate you. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:33, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

I have now requested a checkuser investigation at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Aircrafts and motorboats — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:07, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

...and he has been blocked as a sockpuppet, plus the article has been set by an admin to "require autoconfirmed or confirmed access (indefinite)" to interdict the next sock to arrive. - Ahunt (talk) 13:39, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
