User:Dracolych/Tripple-ddd

This is a documentation page intended to keep track of the sockpuppets and article targets of the indef-blocked editor.

Accounts
These accounts are confirmed to be Tripple-ddd and his alts and have already been identified and blocked by and others; this is not a place where I will be casting any conjecture or aspersions on new users that happen to show up in the topic area, and is thus not a violation of WP:POLEMIC as far as I'm concerned. If you suspect that another sock has shown up, please go to Sergecross73's talkpage and report it there, so that the situation can be assessed and the sock blocked if it is indeed him. The best people to ask about Tripple socks is typically Serge, or non-admins, , and me.



Behavior
I'll only say that the following are very common behavior patterns that have not changed since he started socking:
 * Overly promotional tone towards Sega - this is the overarching theme for his editing.
 * Inclination to make wholesale changes to an article's formatting, usually to a worse-looking result that includes articlespace nowiki, bad wikicode syntax for italics and other formatting errors
 * Almost exclusive use of VisualEditor
 * Poor use of primary sources, particularly Sega's internal sales reports and non-RS blogs
 * Poor grammar and spelling (he has mentioned that his first language isn't English)
 * Making changes he fought for many times before being blocked (removing a specific statement about mobile games in the Sega article, removing game title italics, etc)

Topic area
Tripple's edits are, almost in their entirety, to do with Sega-- the Sega article itself, Sega development studios, franchise list articles, Sega arcade games, company employees etc. However, it has become apparent that he will also edit articles that have only a tangential connection to Sega. Many of these have since been temporarily semiprotected due to his persistent block evasion. If I miss anything he's edited in this list, feel free to add to it.

Articles with tangential Sega connections/Other
Usually trying to crowbar in badly sourced promotionalism about Sega's contributions to the following subjects:
 * Interactive urinal
 * Collectible card game

Edited the following articles through a few of his socks (see 's contributions), expressed interest in editing these areas on WP:VG so the editing pattern may diversify to other Japanese game company articles as well as Sega; this means if you see a new user who edits these and/or related articles as well as Sega with a similar approach, it may be him:
 * Konami
 * Capcom
 * List of Capcom games
