User Callump90 is currently blocked for a number of dubious edits relating to Disney's supposed ownership of, amongst other things, the Bond films and the Red Dwarf television series. No-one else is posting or has posted such false information. User JackFM has now also started to peddle the same line of nonsense, again unsupported and again in the same poor quality of English.

I'm one of the blocking admins for Callump90. The others all quacked louder than the duck so I've now blocked them all on that basis and extended Callum's block to indefinite. It might be worth running checkuser on this though given that there's been a couple found.--5 albert square (talk) 17:17, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Following on from a previous investigation at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Callump90/Archive, with an editor claiming a Bond 3D as an "upcoming Disney franchise" and that James Bond is a real person, we have a new contender: with three inappropriate edits along exactly the same lines:

Please see WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Callump90/Archive for previous incarnations. The current version has again targetted a Bond page claiming it to be based in fact; see this edit here. Additionally, his claim of Disney acquiring a major studio is something he has done in the past. SchroCat (talk) 15:42, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Grandfather sockpuppeteer seems to be ; since the most recent SPI activity has been at Sockpuppet investigations/Callump90/Archive, however, I will report this here. Editing behaviour similar to that of blocked sockpuppets, and : creating hoaxes (Tarzan (real character) - continuing fondness of term "real"; Alan Partridge - asserted to be a "real" person working at the BBC); editing various Walt Disney and James Bond-related articles (with claims of "real"-ness); minor, unhelpful edits and nonsense talk page statements. Whoever is operating this account has already abusively used several others, which leads me to wonder whether there are other sockpuppets still in active use.

– Same edit style as previously (referring to James Bond as a "real" person. His first edit to his talk page "Hello again" is suggestive of a repeat visitor. Further evidence can be seen on his user page, where he talks about Disney making various films, or being involved in projects - all of which are unsourced, unsubstantiated, or plain ridiculous (such as the "true life" story of World War Z). See also this libellous edit on what I suspect to be abother sock. - SchroCat (talk) 14:43, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

WP:DUCK: Reading the report of September I've recognized the style (now he refers to Sun Hill Police Station as a real police stat. of London, the "hello again" in his talk...).

FiremanSamFan has signed theirself as MarvelFan1, an account previously identified as a sock of Callump90. Behaviour includes asserting that the fictional country of Tazbekistan is a real place (in the third link he asserts that several other fictional entities, including James Bond – an apparent favourite of other Callump90 socks – are real).

At a first look, I'm not quite sure enough. This edit citing Callum Precious is very suspicious, but it's just possible this is someone else with similar interests who is aware of and cited that Youtube site. Other views welcome - I'll try to have a further look tomorrow. JohnCD (talk) 21:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, until I saw that comment a moment ago (they made it after I started this investigation), I was still just about willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. However, that addition, combined with everything else – the interest in the same topics (i.e. James Bond, BBC branding, Grand Theft Auto, recent showbiz news) plus the strange talkspace behaviour (see their BLP-infringing edits to their own talk page) – tips the scale for me, and I now find it difficult to arrive at any other conclusion.

A new editor working on an upcoming Bond film draft at User:DoctorWhoReturns12/sandbox, which includes a full paragraph about a YouTube fan video by dwho1995picturesUK, the "production company" written about by many previous Callump socks. Article pushes previous socks' theory about Disney buying MGM and the Bond franchise, again uses what seems to be Callum's own blog (containing speculative articles about Bond, Doctor Who and how the BBC should change its logo) as a source and includes a flatly false claim about Daniel Craig being signed up to appear in the film.
