Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Yaysmay15

Basic information
Comprehensive edits analysis Yaysmay15 is a disruptive user who frequently bloats recent history and timeline articles, especially those related to the Philippines with non-notable events. Commonly targeted articles are those of about years in the Philippines ("XXXX in the Philippines" articles), but has also targeted decade and century pages.

The user started disruptive editing on Philippine history-related articles as "Vince daryl falcunitin" before June 2016, and as Yaysmay15 from June 2016. Most of the user's edits mostly restoring previously removed non-notable events or additions of newer ones, resulting to the Tambayan Philippines community to include criteria for events to be inserted to Philippine history articles by year, starting with 2015 in the Philippines through its talk page. After being blocked for edit warring with Hariboneagle927, Yaysmay15 started to use sockpuppets and do IP hopping to re-add events that he added on articles he targeted, then removed by other users. As of 2023, the user mostly edits through IPs.

Targeted areas, pages, themes
The user frequently targets articles about years in the Philippines, especially those discussing events in contemporary Philippine history. "XXXX in the Philippines" articles (e.g. 2013 in the Philippines, 2015 in the Philippines, 2016 in the Philippines, etc.) are the frequent targets, but Timeline of Philippine history and navboxes about the life and regime of recent presidents (e.g. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,Benigno Aquino III,Rodrigo Duterte), are also being targeted. Timelines and pages for recent centuries (timeline of the 20th century, timeline of the 21st century) have been also targeted. In 2023, they have been seen adding events in Media circus, often recent ones and with citations that do not support claims of a media circus.

Habitual behavior

 * 1) Yaysmay15 continually adds non-notable events, mostly sensational, routine, or redundant events (e.g. New Year celebration injuries and stray bullet deaths, road rage incidents, non-deadly road accidents, road accidents, that has no nationwide effect, routine anniversaries, etc.) on articles related to years in the Philippines. After other editors remove the events Yaysmay15 reverts them, eventually violating the edit warring policy.
 * 2) Once blocked, Yaysmay15 re-add the deleted events by creating a sock account, or hopping on IPs, usually of the 112.98.XX range.
 * 3) User or its sockpuppets create articles for several non-notable events, mostly sensationalized events, like Death of Emilyn Villanueva (PRODed, them speedied) and 2017 Quezon City road rage incident (AFDed). All articles are deleted as sensationalism and block/ban violations.
 * 4) After the pages Yaysmay15 or its sockpuppets are unprotected, they re-add events that a previously deleted prior or during the protection.
 * 5) After his edits are reverted, the user or its sockpuppets sometimes message users who remove it, thanking it, but in some cases, the user sends uncivil comments, that can be revision deleted if found to be grossly offensive.
 * 6) User is fond of adding non-notable events on navboxes of recent presidents.
 * 7) User uses some vague comments, like "fixing", to hide re-addition of non-notable events removed by other users.
 * 8) User names by Yaysmay15 sockpuppets usually includes the names "Yays" (or its variants) "Vince Daryl", "Falcunitin", but soon resorted to use IPs on the 112.198.XX or 122.53.XX ranges.
