Good hand / bad hand behavior on Reggaeton article - just blew up on ANI, an IP editor was repeatedly making changes which seem to be improvement attempts, the listed parties above were reverting them back out and returning to a preferred version. Up to mutual 18RR. Not sure who's factually right - however, those reverting them out / returning to preferred version show a good hand bad hand pattern going back a few months. "El Perso - The Original" got out of it after a warning for edit warring, followed by "El Machete Guerrero" getting involved.

Both (and the IP) are clearly focused on the same topic area, but the extended tag team approach is concerning. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 08:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

This account returns just after the descision has been made to ban the confirmed sock master, to harass users who have been apart of the case, such as myself and a user the sock master was edit warring with.

CU is required as the sock master was recently banned for sockpuppeting and disruption, and was told to stay way from wikipedia for at least six months before requesting an appeal. This CU will make sure that this user, who had been found to be socking before, is indeed the user that was just banned.

Please also note, as stated, the primary account has been banned per a thread on ANI, or more specifically, this diff. I realize that this account has now been blocked for attempting to harass others, but I do believe it needs to be confirmed that either this account is a sock of EMG or not as EMG was told to stay away from WP for at least six months before requesting an appeal, but if he is going to sock to evade his block, then further discussion needs to take place.—  Dæ dαlus Contribs  21:35, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
