This is actually centering around the article Téa Delgado. I locked this article last night because IPs were edit warring. From what I can gather, this character has married the same person 2/3 times and the IPs were wanting what happened to every marriage to this person mentioned in the infobox. The general consensus is that the person is dates are only necessary so as not to clutter up the infoboxes.

Blue Dog97 was the first to make these edits then they got warned off by another user. Since they were warned it's looking like they changed accounts to Dane97 to continue the edits. Although the edits aren't the exact same, they are very similar.

Examples are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=T%C3%A9a_Delgado&diff=next&oldid=445146559

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=T%C3%A9a_Delgado&diff=prev&oldid=445199419

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=T%C3%A9a_Delgado&diff=next&oldid=445199419

Until this is resolved, I have fully protected the article.

Requesting CheckUser to see if these accounts are operated by the same person and also to see if there are sleeper accounts. If CheckUser confirms these are the same people I will downgrade the article to semi-protection again to see if it works on that again. 5 albert square (talk) 21:22, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I would add to the list as well. All the accounts are making similar edits to the same group of articles. - JuneGloom    Talk  21:33, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I think Izzerbaby should be added too, making edits in the same nature to the same set of articles. Rain the One  BAM 21:42, 16 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. That Blue Dog97 may be a sockpuppet of Dane97...was first brought to my attention by AniMate at User talk:AniMate. AniMate stated, "If you get a chance, check out Blue Dog97 (talk · contribs). This is almost certainly the same user as the account is doing the sane nonsense page moves, solely focusing on soaps, and the 97 is a dead give away. It wouldn't surprise me to find we have a nice little sock farmer here. there's been a lot of activity lately with ABC soaps on Wikipedia, and none of it is remotely encyclopedic. I'll definitely be doing some more investigating when I get back on line."


 * I agree with AniMate and others who believe they are sockpuppets, and am certain that we're here investigating today because I mentioned it on the talk page of both accounts. I'm not sure which account was created first, I'll have to check, but judging from above...it seems Blue Dog97 was registered first. Flyer22 (talk) 22:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I see it's been confirmed that Dane97 was created first, judging by this investigation being moved to that name. Flyer22 (talk) 00:18, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

 * As to, I don't see anything that convinces me that account ties in with the other three. ❌ is my call there. Courcelles 05:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

This user is exhibiting the same behavior as a Dane97 and his socks, and started editing shortly after Dane97 was blocked. Creating rather unlikely redirects to articles on soap opera characters that appear on ABC. Linus2011:  Dane97:. Creating redirects to List of miscellaneous One Life to Live couples, one of three articles about miscellaneous couples created by Dane97 and his socks. Linus2011 Dane97: Both users are focused on a recent storyline involving the character of Todd Manning and the years the character was active. Linus2011: Dane97: I'm requesting a checkuser here, because the last time this user was investigated only two socks were reported while three showed up. There's a lot of activity surrounding these articles right now, and I'm betting more socks show up. AniMate 16:25, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

A match to the previous accounts. TN X Man 16:46, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * With the likely match and clear behavioral evidence I've blocked Linus2011 as a sockpuppet. --  At am a  頭 17:38, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Marist2015 was banned for copyright violations. Now Mayer2015 has created a rebirth of List of All My Children miscellaneous characters into Minor Characters of All My Children. Look at their contributions. Gh87 (talk) 07:20, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

See Sockpuppet investigations/Dane97. Also, look at the earliest history logs of List of miscellaneous General Hospital characters ([ history] · [ last edit]). Gh87 (talk) 07:46, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Update. I have struck out  removed Casanova88 per Sockpuppet investigations/Casanova88/Archive.  Please disregard this accusation; thank you!  --George Ho (talk) 19:24, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

You been told how many times now that they won't check IPs against other users in this way? Get a clue. 50.17.159.18 (talk) 16:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * To everyone else: This IP editor has been blocked and been considered a sockpuppet by zzuuzz. --George Ho (talk) 16:54, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

 * This needs to be moved to the Dane97 page. I can't do histmerges for the life of me  Alexandria   (talk)  19:30, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * fixed now. Alexandria   (talk)  19:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * A bunch of IPs here were already blocked. I blocked 99.141.31.139 for a week as well. I'm going to leave the other (stale) IPs alone. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 05:39, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

reported by blocked user on his talk page, as follows: Special:Contributions/Dane97 has committed Sockpuppetry by creating an account DaneDaneDane. Unfortunately, I cannot report this because I'm indefinitely blocked from editing English Wikipedia. Is there any way for me to report this to WP:Sockpuppetry investigations about Dane97? --George Ho (talk) 06:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

George probably shouldn't be trying to report people by proxy in this way, and I've told him so - but equally, I'd feel wrong to just let the concern go unnoted, so I'll leave it here to see if anyone feels it should be pursued. Begoon &thinsp; talk 03:25, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Had a look round for sleepers per the previous abuse of multiple accounts, nothing to report. WilliamH (talk) 15:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Wait, so... are they the same? (Relisting to get attention.) —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:08, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find an exact cross-reference, but it's exceptionally ; for all extents and purposes, it's him. WilliamH (talk) 17:50, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. Blocked and tagged. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:26, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

This editor must have used IP to violate copyrights of http://www.soapcentral.com in List of All My Children miscellaneous characters. However, that happened in summer 2011. Look at the logs of that page. George Ho (talk) 05:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * There is another IP editor suspected as sockpuppet; this IP editor committed copyright infringements. --George Ho (talk) 08:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * ...Oops... Both IP editors were already reported for sockpuppetry (see Archive)... Still, will this make this report useless? --George Ho (talk) 08:56, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Um, I'm not sure what other case you're talking about? Either way these IPs haven't edited in four months, so they're incredibly stale. With nothing actionable here, we're done. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:27, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Is there a need for evidence? I know this user's interests are mainly soap operas, and that person violates the move consensus of Talk:Kendall Hart. George Ho (talk) 06:20, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
