 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

All users, including the sockmaster has the same editing pattern: they use the article title as the edit summary. The sockpuppets were seen editing Philippine TV related articles and any article related to SNK or King of Fighters. The socks are adding hoax information on several of their edits, samples of both socks edits are: making a defunct Philippine TV network Q being "revived" and will be on air again on 2013 ( 1, 2 ), claiming that both ABS-CBN and GMA Network are airing on high definition ( 3, 4 ), and creating hoax regional TV newscasts with dubious and inconsistent dates (see: Articles for deletion/Newsline Caraga). - WayKurat (talk) 05:14, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User has a similar editing pattern on editing Philippine TV related articles. Tvpatrolnorthmin recreated the article TV Patrol Western Mindanao and keeps on insisting that the defunct Q (TV network) is "revived" by its owner GMA Network (see edit from Morse pro and Tvpatrolnorthmin for behavioral evidence). Anon IP address 112.210.106.185 removed the CSD template on the TV Patrol Western Mindanao article after being nominated for CSD and restored the edits of Tvpatrolnorthmin on the TV Patrol related articles (see 1, 2, 3, 4 for reference). - WayKurat (talk) 03:16, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User has a similar editing pattern on editing Philippine TV related articles. Sockpuppet recreated the hoax "TV Patrol Western Mindanao" article and adds the page link to the TV Patrol article and template, the same page that was recreated multiple times by Brianmagallano, and his other blocked socks Tvpatrolnorthmin and Bombo cdo (see 1 ). Also, user is seen creating a template of Philippine TV networks that were airing on high definition, which is also not true (the Philippine government have not yet released any guidelines on TV networks regarding digital TV). See 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 for additional evidence. I've also placed the IP address 112.210.66.114 for SPI. Anon user has similar behavior with the other socks (editing Philippine TV network articles, mentioning that the defunct Q network was "revived" by GMA Network and took over the DWKC-TV frequency (see 7, 8 ). Please note that the anon started editing articles after the second warning to Lambatanjrr was posted. -WayKurat (talk) 01:00, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Lambatanjrr is ✅. Was self-evident anyway, but I still checked to see if I can help any further. Since this person is actively using anon accounts to insert false information and thus willfully damaging this encyclopedia, I also confirm that yes, the above-mentioned IP 112.210.66.114 was used Lambatanjrr, as will come to no surprise. It's a dynamic range, so the edits of many IP's from that range will have to be double checked. Depending on the ratio of disruptive anon edits a block of that range (AO ACB) may after all be necessary, but can of course be decided by any administrator. Amalthea  11:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sock blocked and tagged; IP blocked 1 month. I don't really have time to comb through all those IPs; perhaps another clerk does? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:53, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
 * ...or not, whatever. Relist as necessary. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:50, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

User has a similar editing pattern on editing Philippine TV related articles. Bombo Butuan has a striking similar username pattern compared with another blocked sock of Brianmagallano, User:Bombo cdo. Bombo Butuan also keeps on insisting that the defunct Q (TV network) is "revived" by its owner GMA Network and took over the Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation frequency (see edit from Morse pro and Bombo Butuan for behavioral evidence). - WayKurat (talk) 03:11, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppet's target is List of programs broadcast by GMA Network, another Philippine TV article. Edits involve adding unsourced future programming. I placed the request for investigation as the target appears to be similar if not the same. GrayFullbuster (talk) 07:46, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

User has a similar editing pattern on editing Philippine TV related articles. Bombo laoag has a striking similar username pattern compared with another blocked sock of Brianmagallano, User:Bombo cdo and User:Bombo Butuan. Also, the sockpuppet has the similar editing style in adding the article title that he edits on the edit summary. See contributions of Bombo laoag, 112.210.114.126, and sockmaster Brianmagallano for additional evidence. - WayKurat (talk) 09:24, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

One account is already indeffed. The other has not edited in over a year. I don't think we need to do anything here, so I'm going to close this investigation. AGK [•] 18:11, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Carrying this report over from WP:AIV. Not sure if CheckUser will accept this though because it might reveal user's IP. Dat GuyWiki (talk) 17:27, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Looking this over, the reporting IP might be disrupting. I'd like to withdraw this if possible as an immature report. Dat GuyWiki (talk) 17:51, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

King of Fighters-related fluff on talk page appears to be a dead giveaway given the sockmaster's modus operandi. Blake Gripling (talk) 02:34, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The user talk page appears to be a dead giveaway, as edits from previous sockpuppets show c.f. the SPI archive page. Perhaps can expound on this as he rubbed elbows with this guy before and I'm just getting to know him as of now. Blake Gripling (talk) 01:03, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  22:59, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No diffs provided. I don't understand the connection at all. I'm closing this case for the lack of evidence.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:00, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

WP:DUCK per behavioral evidence. Both caught adding hoax information on Philippine television and Japanese/Chinese television related articles. 49.145.66.123 was first seen adding hoax lists of Philippine television networks as seen here and here. Then the anon added hoax information that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will release a 2-peso coin and a 2000-peso bill as seen here and here. After their edits were reverted, User:Yuiyuiteam8 reverted back these edits seen here and here. - WayKurat (talk) 05:12, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
