There appear to be several SPAs at Eladio E. Gonzales, Jr, removing tags in an effort to keep the article without sources. The 3 Drey accounts are obviously the same user given their edits to Draft:Joy Ongcachuy as well as the other accounts and upload to commons, plus the shared name Andrei/drei/drey. Requesting CU for others as there appear to be quite a lot... Praxidicae (talk) 16:52, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

User likes to edit biography articles about Filipino and British subjects, giving them orders (OBE, MBE, etc.) they usually haven't actually received and setting their honorifics (e.g., "His Excellency"), always with neither edit summary nor source. Sometimes changes subject names and images. Latest development (at least one I've not noticed before) is the upgrading of articles though the simple, silent addition of {Good article} templates. IPs invariably resolve to ISP in the Philippines. A few examples:
 * Andreibventuriana (previous investigation from 22 May): OBE for Oliver Ford Davies
 * JasonBalagtas: "Sir" for Oliver Ford Davies immed after Andreibventuriana. CBE for Tunde Baiyewu MBE for Tunde Baiyewu
 * 111.125.121.216: Name change for Oliver Ford Davies immed after JasonBalagtas. Name change for Tunde Baiyewu between edits of JasonBalagtas
 * Jason0806: adding cat:OBE for Desmond Llewelyn after Drey0608 added OBE. OBE for Jeff Lynne. "Sir" for Bob Hope again and again, this time with "Good article". +Cat for AC +"GA" for George Lazenby. Styles for President of South Korea. OBE for Sheena Easton
 * 111.125.111.73: more edits re OBE for Lynne immed after Jason0806. AC for George Lazenby
 * 111.125.111.153: +Cat for AC +"GA" for George Lazenby (repeat of Jason0806). Styles for President of South Korea. +Cat OBE for Sheena Easton

I hope I've presented this properly. Can offer more analysis if needed. Thanks. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 21:43, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Similar to my report from 31 July 2020: these editors are adding orders and honorifics (e.g., "His Excellency") to Filipinos and others, and manually adding good article templates to articles which aren't GAs, always without edit summary.
 * Alexiscid: Edits converting, e.g. CBE to template, for Peter Asher, Andrea Corr. Adding unsourced order OMRI to Ferruccio Lamborghini. Adding "His/Her Excellency" to Emilio Aguinaldo, Pedro Paterno, Governor-General of the Philippines, Gretchen Whitmer, Prime Minister of Mongolia, Mary McAleese, etc.
 * 111.125.111.114: adding GA to Portugal. Adding "Her Excellency" and orders OMRI and PLH to Corazon Aquino. Adding "The Honorable" to Mar Roxas and Governor of Bulacan, "Excellency" to President of Paraguay, "His Excellency" to Marc Ravalomanana, etc. Adding template to Ralph Lauren, conversion to template on Bob Hope.

In a strange case of weirdness, user 111.125.111.114 added an unblock request, twice to their Talk, although they don't appear to have been actually blocked as an IP (see this and this response from admins). Which blocked user the IP hoped to unblock is unclear.

Not all of the provided diffs show blockable or even problematic behavior in themselves. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that most of the OBEs and MBEs were mentioned and sourced in the respective article, so many of these edits are probably fine and even helpful. It's the weird, totally unsourced, entirely unexplained edits like "Her Excellency" for the governor of Michigan that get me, moreover because I believe these edits to come from a multiply blocked user.

The IP is, as before, from the Philippines. Not all the IPs from my last report were blocked immediately, so it's not clear to me whether I made the connection sufficiently clear. This time I'm requesting a CU. Thanks, &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 19:56, 13 September 2020 (UTC) &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk) 19:56, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Re-created Category:Jose Mari Chan‎, also adding "His Excellency" to articles without sourcing. Looks to have waited just long enough to avoid checkuser, but this is quacking. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 20:43, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

 * - I would appreciate CU. I think this account is suspicious enough for a block now (see interaction, Category:Raffy Tulfo, Category:Dolphy and 1 vs 2), but a check on this account to previous socks and also a sleeper check would be useful (previous sleepers have been found).

This IP user has a very similar edit pattern to User:Jamesvictors, which was banned as a sock of puppeteer Andrei080610, in that both editors share the same activity of adding honorific prefixes in articles mostly about politicians of different nationalities. CheckUser isn't necessary; his recent edits (which I've reverted) were restoring the "His/her excellency" prefixes in articles about past Filipino presidents:, , , , , , , , , , , , , Nincompoopian (talk) 15:42, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

 * It's them, as is most of the other activity coming out of 120.29.77.0/24; there's little collateral and the few edits that aren't Andrei080610 aren't the most constructive ones anyway. – please rangeblock 120.29.77.0/24 for 2 months.

Similar activities to sock accounts of banned sockmaster User:Andrei080610, who has an affinity for adding (and edit-warring) honorific prefixes such as His/Her Excellency in articles about politicians. Nincompoopian (talk) 07:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Just for clarification purposes, in the identical topics above, 1,2, and 3 I made edit on to remain consistent with predecessors in their positions for impartiality. If I’m mistaken, my apologies, but I’m certainly not a puppet for another account... let me know if I can help in any way Spf121188 (talk) 06:26, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

More importantly, my page was created in 2019. I’m sure if you do a CU it’ll show that I’m none of the above. I was just trying to make edits on good faith. I’ll use the talk pages moving forward.Spf121188 (talk) 06:46, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Similar to previous sockpuppets, adding unreferenced and incorrect "His Excellency" arguing "I also added the honorific prefix, 'His Excellency', in the template section - appropriate for Eamon de Valera as a former head of state". FDW777 (talk) 16:37, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

This is the second time I've been added to an SPI. A CU will show that I'm not related to or associated with these, but please let me know what I can do to help this process along. I'm trying to learn as I go here, and am trying to make good faith edits, but I don't want to constantly worry because of one edit here and there that somebody flags.
