Promotional sockpuppet with a focus on teenager Alex Gilbert and related articles such as ProCity Claim and From Dumpster to Dinner Plate. Filmingnz created back in September 2010 when it was speedy deleted under A7, and re-created it recently. I note that ProCity Claim is a project of Alex Gilbert. Another project Alex Gilbert is involved in is a movie From Dumpster to Dinner Plate, which Filmingnz also created and then later added the Alex Gilbert information here. I note that Filmingnz has been campaigning for Alex Gilbert to have a wiki presence for 4 years now with old edits such as, , , as well as the original creation of his userpage here. More recently he is campaigning in a very similar manner to keep the ProCity Claim page with edits like this. Turning to the two anon IP accounts they also have a similar focus and a strong overlap in editing patterns with the Filmingnz account on multiple related articles. For instance, 203.184.21.156 added ProCity Claim to a list here, and added Alex Gilbert to the same list here. The other anon IP made the same add here. On the ProCity Claim article, the anon IP 203.184.21.156 deproded it without explanation here. That same anon IP added promotional WP:CRYSTAL content about the movie here, and the other Anon IP fine tuned that same movie promotional content here. Anon 124.157.96.94 has also been active on the ProCity Claim article adding non-RS sources, original research and promotional content with edits such as. I also note that even though the named account and two anon IP accounts appear to be one in the same through WP:DUCK that the named account has attempted to portray itself as no longer from New Zealand, but from "Ohio USA" instead by changing the userpage here. Overall this appears to be a promotional sock focusing on promoting Alex Gilbert and related projects such as ProCity Claim and From Dumpster to Dinner Plate.

All three accounts are also active on the Tiana Alexandra article composing almost all the edits to it, which appears to also be related to Alex Gilbert here  and here.

Makethingsbetter456 edited while logged out and I caught the IP address as 124.157.96.94 which was previously blocked as Filmingnz in the case archive. A quick check reveals that the editor is still editing New Zealand TV subjects with these socks. DemandProcessNZ was a sock to support the now-deleted article Alex Gilbert being edited by Makethingsbetter456. The latter sock also intersects Imtheslimburger on Catch and Cook With Adventure Aaron (diff) and Aaron Carota. Recommend checkuser to confirm socking and a sleeper check. I've indeffed DemandProcessNZ & Makethingsbetter456; 1 year blocks for the IPs since he has been at them for greater than 6 months. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  07:13, 13 February 2013 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  07:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Added Aucklandisgood which is another sock to support the deleted article (see deleted contribs).
