 * Suspected sockpuppets

Same patterns of boldfacing inappropriately in Philippine TV articles. Same talk page etiquette and signature style. User:GMA Fan removed Inltellistar and Weather Channel userboxes from his userpage immediately after Intellistar user was created. Three minutes later, Intellistar mentions the Weather Channel and Intellistar on his user page. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 10:32, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * User has a similar username to the indef-blocked (block log) and edits in similar areas (note contributions). Since this user has already been shown to use sockpuppets to edit-war, I'm asking for an SPI to expose any sleepers and see if blocking his IP (range) for a short time might be feasible. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 02:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

User KAWSI3 was blocked as a GMA Fan sock and is now screaming bloody murder about it, although his user talk behavior (see Contribs) is eerily similar to that of GMA Fan's. I'm inclined to believe this is a sockpupppet (since he's copping to being ISWAK3), but I'm not 100% certain this is GMA Fan. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 19:08, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by WayKurat
User:DisneyChannelFan024 has a very similar editing pattern with the sockmaster, User:GMA Fan. Both accounts edits the List of programs broadcast by GMA Network and the shows that are listed on the mentioned article, creates poorly sourced and unnecessary articles like GMA Supershow 2010, a confirmed hoax show and. He also posts negative remarks or hoax information on shows/articles/artists related to GMA's rival network, ABS-CBN in a similar fashion with the sockmaster (see 1, 2, 3 for evidences.) -WayKurat (talk) 12:01, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

, looks like a duck, however, I'd like it if the underlying IPs could please be re-checked and if necessary/possible re-blocked, as that hasn't been done since October 2009 (provided the link is confirmed, of course). Regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 14:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
