Anyone can have a weird day!

Mine begin when I wake up and end when I fall asleep!

Regarding User:Gokturklerrr

Forgive me if someone is already on the case, but I'm just checking to clear my conscience. It seems like this user has been making hoaxes/relying on unreliable turkish sources to create boarderline hoax articles. I'm not concerned about the articles that they have created (since others seem to be tracking them down and nominating them for deletion), but there seems to be a large number of edits to other history articles in their edit history (which I suspect will fail POV checking/fact checking). I'm semi-retired, so it is beyond my scope of time available, I just want to make sure that someone who will be keen to comb through those edits is on the case. — Insertcleverphrasehere^{(or here)_{(or here)(or here)}} 06:53, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

I'll have a look, but it's a subject area that is definintely not an area of expertise for me. There's quite a few PRODs appeared on them. GedUK  07:54, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
