This account is 3 years 9 months old but has only made 205 edits, but all of them in the last day since JCC199 was blocked. GBG17 was indefinitely blocked on 5 December 2018. JCC199 appeared in January 2019, clearly not a new editor, and continuing the same style of editing, now blocked for similar edit warring. All 3 accounts only seem to do directory building of airline flights, mostly lacking edit summaries unless engaged in dispute. Charles (talk) 22:25, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Requesting check of user Air7777 as he been for several days involved in edit warring on Wiki and his latest answer on Larnaca airport and other airports proves warring using the "I am right, people who disagree with me are vandals" and "Whatever i add is better then yours". Administrators blocked him for very first time while he was user CBG17. Since then he created several profiles and been blocked on all of them (users: Aviation999, JCC199 etc). Looks like he still haven't learned from administrators recommendations and using same logic of editing. Can you please have a look at user Air7777 and do necessary steps as i believe he should be blocked for sockpuppetry to avoid future problems. Thank you for your help.

more examples: several edit wars at Sofia airport (SOF) in the past, long term edit warring at Doncaster airport (DSA) still in effect. All edit wars and attitude at history of both pages. Been already blocked few times as per his actual profile history. Thank you for looking into into a case. Wappy2008 (talk) 13:40, 27 February 2020 (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. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 06:22, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

User keeps constantly edit warring on several pages, doesnt want to co-operate, keep deleting messages on his profiles or doesnt respond at all. was reported for sock puppetry several times and blocked, keep using same way of editing = my edits are the best no one else is right, not following WIKI guidelines. Evidance can be checked on Dublin Airport, Alexandria Borg El Arab airport, Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, EireAviation talk page, i have explained several times on talk page how things work user doesnt reply or just deletes messages. i have reported same sock puppet already twice before which blocked both time on his previous profiles according to all evidence. Please have a look at it as i believe both profiles should be blocked. Thank you Wappy2008 (talk) 17:45, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

 * After reviewing their contribs, I think Route1 is probably CBG17 but am not convinced that EireAviation is. . Note to future clerks, was probably also them but is long stale. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:17, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

 * I can only check if the two listed sock puppets are related to one another. All accounts related to the master are . This seems ; same ISP in the same country, but different user agents. That's all I can really give you...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   17:50, 14 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Planespotting (and cataloging of all things related to aviation) is highly popular. Many of the usernames in the archives are suggestive of this hobby.  I'm not seeing enough here to make me think this is anything more than a shared interest by different people.  The timecards are also a (weak) signal that these two are not the same person as most of the archive accounts.  As for these two being the same as each other, I do note that one uses mobile, the other doesn't (per the edit comment tags).

 * Looking at the checkuser data, this user comes back to a completely different country and geolocation than the confirmed socks that are in the archives. I have to say that they're /❌ as far as technical evidence goes...  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   14:43, 26 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Not everybody in the middle east with an interest in aviation is CBG17. Hamzamathiw has been editing on the topic for years. Closing, Cabayi (talk) 19:58, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

several interaction on MALTA international airport and mainly Larnaca international airport and other airports as per previous years. Same way of editing and logic i know the best what i add its the best and no one can do better (see my talk page). User has been creating several profiles during past years and been interacting in several edit wars both airport pages prove so. I have tried to resolve edit warring on my talk page but he constantly removing sourced edits and getting involved in edit warring. example latest edit on Larnaca airport where i provided 3 independent sources which provide full list with names, times and other necessary ref. information. all been reverted straight away. Another prove is on my talk page as last edit where he add it warning message for me without even consulting or trying to find solution. Please have a look at all evidence and i believe both users mentioned are sock puppets of CBG17 and should be blocked. Thank you Wappy2008 (talk) 17:49, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 * The evidence in this filing appears to boil down to "these two people both disagree with me", and it seems quite obvious that der HON and The Banner are not the same person. Making serious accusations like this without providing evidence amounts to a personal attack. Please don't do that again. . --Blablubbs (talk) 18:08, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
