Suspected sockpuppets


Sockpuppet has a similar editing style compare to User:Dico Calingal. Passes WP:DUCK test compared to sockmaster. Both accounts edits mostly GMA Network related articles. When sockpuppet uploads images and someone changes or reverts it, he reverts it to his own version. Also, both accounts uploads images with questionable licenses. User also angrily denies that he is a sock of Dico (see post of user for details). -WayKurat (talk) 13:18, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Marco's edits precisely follow those made by Dico to a "T". Blocked and tagged. –MuZemike 22:28, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

This guy keeps on posting the sockmaster's uploaded pictures from Wiki Commons to this article, replacing the original picture uploaded. Please note that the previous sockpuppet (User:Marco Carlo) also did this before he was blocked. He also posted this comment when I placed a sockpuppet tag in his user page. You can compare his comments to the comments posted by Marco Carlo when he is asking to unblock him (1, 2). - WayKurat (talk) 14:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

This looks like a long-term static IP, because I see behavior from this editor similar to Dico Calingal going back for months, as well as a previous accusation of being a sock for Dico Calingal. The sockpuppetry is pretty obvious, so I'm going to go ahead and block this IP for a month and we'll see what happens. --  At am a  頭 16:39, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

The IP has been blocked for one month as an obvious long-term static IP used for block evasion (though an IP can't really be called a sockpuppet), requesting review for close. --  At am a  頭 00:48, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Passes WP:DUCK test compared to User:Dico Calingal. He edits the same articles, (namely, Regine Velasquez, GMA Network, Mel and Joey) that the sockmaster or the previously blocked sockpuppets have been editing. User also keeps on uploading copyrighted audio "samples", notably, in which the whole song was uploaded. WayKurat (talk) 20:38, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Passes WP:DUCK test against the sockmaster (User:Dico Calingal) and one of its sockpuppets, User:Marco Carlo. Uploads the same images for both Saksi and 24 Oras articles from the same source that User:Marco Carlo claims that the images came from (see comment from Marco Carlo and Ringgo410 upon uploading the same images). Also, both sockpuppets are consistent on the editing style of Dico Calingal, namely editing mostly GMA Network related articles. - WayKurat (talk) 03:39, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
