Suspected sockpuppets

Newly created account Tina Wyngarde-Hopkins appears to be a sock (or at the very least a WP:MEATPUPPET) of banned editor Filbert007, who was blocked in 2016 for issuing WP:LEGAL threats relating to the article about Peter Wyngarde, who died in 2018. At the time, Filbert007 disclosed a conflict of interest, professing to be both a close friend of Peter Wyngarde and the Secretary of his official Appreciation Society. While avoiding direct legal threats, Tina Wyngarde-Hopkins has continued to post similar WP:CNH comments on Talk:Peter Wyngarde, in one case using an IP address after apparently omitting to log in to Wikipedia. 49.224.246.33 (talk) 11:59, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Yeah, this is pretty clearly the same person., but it hasn't edited in a week anyway so there would be no use leaving this open for a behavioural assessment. . Closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:28, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I'm afraid, given the style of writing and obsession with attempting to prove the gay actor Peter Wyngarde was heterosexual, this user is almost certainly a new identity for Tina Wyngarde-Hopkins (formerly Tina Bate), who had her account blocked indefinitely in 2019, after making legal threats and believing she could make up her own rules rather than conforming to those of Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/900090659

This user has done more whingeing about Wikipedia and the reputation of the kate Wyngarde/Goldbert here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#NAME-CALLING_AND_PROPOSITIONING, demonstrating the same inflexibility regarding the rules of Wikipedia that got her barred originally.

Hopefully this link works better:

And here, on Tina Wyngarde-Hopkins' own blog, despite supposedly being a guest post by "Austin Makinson", the style of writing compared to posts elsewhere on that blog (or 'website' as she, and amazingly enough also this Mr Makinson, keeps calling it) and rage against Wikipedia for not unquestioningly accepting her view of events, in posts by TH-W under her own name, are identical.

 * I'm going to close this without further action. There is the obvious SPA aspect of editing interests, and some overlap in terms of style of writing, but I can't be confident that it's the same person. If they continue editing disruptively, we can address that as a separate matter, but they seem to have given up for now.  Girth Summit  (blether)  13:28, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
