 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Similar editing style and patterns to the sockpuppeteer in question. User also uploads similarly copyvio files. Blake Gripling (talk) 00:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Looking at those diffs and the few edits made I agree that there are very similar editing patterns, and taking technical evidence into account it's ✅ that are controlled by the same person. And while I can't rule out a connection to the Bea Binene accounts, I'm not really convinced. Doesn't matter much though. Amalthea 19:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * - Something strange is going on here. Bmcidol has a lot of edits in common with and their socks, so I'm endorsing to clarify. Either that account or  should be usable for a check. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:50, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Diffs please. I want explicit connections, not vague descriptions. - Mailer Diablo 11:16, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright.
 * Both accounts have been fairly active in adding images to articles. Compare this and this - adding the same type of image to the same article. In the former diff, the %2B is an encoded +. Both these accounts use plus signs in their image uploads. Check their deleted contributions - e.g. File:Jake+Vargas2.jpg, File:Jhake+vargas+tween.jpg, etc.
 * Also take a look at this vs this. Identical caption (though it's just the name of the subject). Also note the use of lowercase filenames, which was also used in the latter diff above.
 * Overlap in edited articles: Daniel Padilla, Dingdong Dantes, Jake Vargas, Marian Rivera, Tween Hearts.
 * Similarity in edits involving Antipolo, a city in the Philippines. Take a look at their deleted edits. Bmcidol wrote an article about the "Blue Marching Condors", a band around a private school in Antipolo. Fansite wrote an article about "Loving you from a Distance", which claims that its author is the student of a private school in Antipolo.
 * I think that's enough for at least a check between these two accounts. As to the connection to Bea Binene: Bmcidol21 and three of Bea Binene's socks (DerrickLlanderMonasterio, KarenSay18, Beii.yahh) all edited the Barbie Forteza and Derick Monasterio articles. Admittedly their edits are somewhat different, but it's possible they switched tactics. There's further overlap on the Joyce Ching and Bea Binene articles. Either way, I think there's enough coincidence here to at least warrant an investigation. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:19, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. All three are blocked and tagged. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:06, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This user was previously mentioned at Sockpuppet investigations/Gerald Gonzalez, but I think its MO matches Bmcidol more: Per my findings I'm endorsing for confirmation and sleepers. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:37, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Usernames - Generally some string followed by numbers (Bmcidol21, Fansite12 Fordniel17).
 * Overlap in edits - focus on Filipino actors and actresses (see Wikistalk).
 * Edit content - spends most of their time messing with tables and images (e.g. 1, 2). There's more here, but per WP:BEANS I'd rather not publicly disclose.
 * Style - largely marks their edits as minor; doesn't leave edit comments.

It's that Fordniel117 is a match to the accounts in the archive. Same ISP, different computers. TN X Man 15:47, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, well.. I've convinced myself of it, so I've blocked and tagged on behavioral grounds. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:03, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
