At Alan Kardec, 177.75.149.17 reverted me after BenjaWF. Today, BenjaWF reverted me twice (1, 2), then 177.221.167.122 reverted me. SLBedit (talk) 15:57, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Update: BenjaWF is. See this edit and this report. Also, IPs are from Santa Catarina, Brazil. SLBedit (talk) 16:25, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

 * This is all Gringoladomenega evading his block. I've indef blocked User:BenjaWF per WP:DUCK, and blocked the two IPs one month. I doubt that a rangeblock is feasible but in the future we may have the choice between blocking new football-interested IPs from Santa Catarina (who appear to be socks) and semiprotecting the articles they'll be most interested in. User:Slakr has previously applied two weeks of semiprotection to Template:Spain squad 2010 FIFA World Cup. EdJohnston (talk) 16:57, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think you forgot to block the account. :) I've taken care of it. With the account and IPs blocked right now, I don't think a checkuser is needed right now unless more accounts have been suspected. Mike V • Talk 05:53, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Same edit pattern and behaviour. User edits mostly Spanish and Brazilian football-related articles.

177.75.149.61 is from Santa Catarina, Brazil. IP stopped editing on 22 May, the next day PhilStar01 was created.

177.75.149.61 readded the same content as 189.30.112.82 (see this example).

189.30.112.82 is Gringoladomenega, therefore, 177.75.149.61 is Gringoladomenega.

PhilStar01 is 177.75.149.61, therefore, it is Gringoladomenega.

Same addition of content: 1, 2 by 177.75.149.61 (edits reverted), then readded by PhilStar01.

Same addition of content: 177.75.149.61, then by PhilStar01.

Same addition of content: 177.75.149.61, then 1, 2 by PhilStar01. SLBedit (talk) 18:34, 2 July 2015 (UTC)


 * If you take a look at Sockpuppet investigations/Gringoladomenega/Archive you see the connection.
 * For example, Gringoladomenega edited the article Lucas Possignolo as 187.23.112.59, 189.30.112.82, and 177.75.149.61. The latter (177.75.149.61) was PhilStar01. So it's obvious that PhilStar01 is Gringoladomenega. SLBedit (talk) 14:39, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Because one of those IPs was Gringoladomenega. SLBedit (talk) 16:27, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * PhilStar01 has just reverted my reverts of 177.75.149.61 edits. It's definitely Gringoladomenega. (1, 2, 3, 4) SLBedit (talk) 13:19, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

 * I've declined the CU request as there are no non-stale named accounts to compare PhilStar01 against.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:15, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * ,, I agree with you that this 177 IP and PhilStar01 are operated by the same person, But I don't understand the connection to Gringoladomenega. Please, use WP:Diffs to show how those are connected.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  14:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * So, those three IPs are obviously operated by the same person. But, how do we know it's Gringoladomenega?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:31, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Which one? how do we know that? Please, explain.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:59, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Still receiving no explanation. can you come in here? Seams that you two are familiar with this case, as you blocked the master and his previous sock.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  21:15, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
 * IPs from Santa Catarina that edit only about Spanish or Brazilian footballers, engage in edit warring and never talk are probably Gringoladomenega. I'm assuming as a given that the submitter's evidence shows a connection between PhilStar01 and Santa Catarina IPs. EdJohnston (talk) 03:16, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Since I reported to you SLBedit I'm not who he claims to be. I'm not a thug, just edited articles that had already been the subject of discussion. Vi misinformation and packed. This is wrong? PhilStar01 (talk) 19 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Admin action needed - In that case, PhilStar01 should be blocked as a sock of Gringoladomenega.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:48, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I asked PhilStar01 to reply to the charge that he was Gringoladomenega. He did respond above, but in a way that doesn't make sense ('I'm not a thug'). In the absence of a good answer, I'm proceeding with the indef block of PhilStar01. I guess people who don't speak English well sometimes avoid talk pages, though if so they should also avoid editing articles. EdJohnston (talk) 20:56, 19 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Tagged as suspect. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:26, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

Same edit pattern (editing mostly in Spanish football articles) and behaviour (not talking much, engaging in edit wars, etc.).

An edit at Nano made by José Bormann, and an edit at Thomas Partey made by Gringoladomenega are exactly the same in context. MYS  77  ✉ 04:51, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

 * - José Bormann should be compared to, the only non-stale sock.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  09:14, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
 * and are ✅. I've blocked and tagged the new puppet as confirmed and adjusted the tag on PhilStar01 to confirmed. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:54, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
