 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by DoriSmith

All accounts have edited User:First Holdings/Sandbox.

User:First Holdings was created in December 2008, but really only became active in late May 2009. He was blocked on 4 June by Feydey for ignoring image upload warnings.

During the block, User: FPHC was created and began editing the sandbox page and uploading images.

As soon as the block was lifted, User:First Holdings returned and began the same problematic image uploads. He was blocked again on 9 June by ESkog for Disruptive editing: flooding image articles with incorrect and misleading tags, after multiple warnings.

During the second block, User:Heydey was created and continued the issues with image files. ESkog found him shortly thereafter and blocked him with a reason of Block evasion: User:First Holdings evading block. He also extended User:First Holdings's block.

All of the images and the sandbox page are part of editing First Philippine Holdings Corporation, an article with numerous issues. One of the major ones is that both FHPC and 124.104.143.82  have removed article templates identifying problems.

None of the accused respond to talk page messages, nor do they ever leave an edit summary.

 * Conclusions

Blocked and tagged the other sock (FHPC), and the other IP (both locate to the Philippines, so given the behavioural evidence, they're clearly the same). The blocking admin knows all this, judging by the logs, so extending the block on the master account is his call to make. Cheers, Peter Symonds ( talk ) 23:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
