Suspected sockpuppets
Alsoriano97 was recently blocked for one week for persistent edit warring at Portal:Current Events. Alsoriano97's edit warring is notable for its focus on the removal of content relating to US/Canada/UK and characterizing the removed content as un-notable, including when the events are globally reported many RS's.

The reported IP made a edit a few days into the user's block, and is suspected to be a case of block evasion. The IP removed an entry relating to Canada using the edit summary Local, trivial and irrelevant news,


 * The wording used is typical in the edits of the user, with the wording "local", , , and "trivial" , ,  being especially distinctive.


 * The usage of words is also distinctive, where three or more adjectives are chained together. "...ordinary, regular, not extraordinary...",  "...Repeated, serious, provocative, unjustified, conscious and documentable..."


 * The IP geo-locates to Barcelona, Catalonia. This is where the user resides according to the user boxes at their user page.

Alsoriano97 opened an entry on his talk page just a few hours after I made the initial filing to SPI, after a few days of account inactivity, making a number of claims and personal attacks on myself and assisting admins.

This would show that the user is still (a) active on Wikipedia after his block, (2) is emotional about their block (with those in such mind-set very likely to sock), and (3) may indicate that user is actively monitoring SPI, given the timing of the entry in relation to my report. A user who had not socked would be unlikely to monitor SPI, given that the board is specialized.

The user also alludes to "he/she goes to the admins for any edit of mine.." and "...we have had a very interesting and constructive collaboration (which I would not like to lose)" in his entry, with the wording being suspicious in the context.

 * This is better handled by, the administrator who blocked Alsoriano97. If Daniel believes that the IP belongs to Alsoriano97 and that Alsoriano97's block should therefore be increased, that's up to him. Closing. Bbb23 (talk) 17:21, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I admit these coincidences are interesting, but there are too few edits at this point for me to really feel comfortable extending Alsoriano's block. If later developments put this in a different light, I reserve the right to act. And as noted if he stopped, that's what we want. Daniel Case (talk) 18:34, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
