(Note, not spelled "Original", but "Orginal")
 * Unorginal: Editor Unorginal made a series of disruptive edits at Disney Junior (UK & Ireland), such as this one, which set off ClueBot's alarms for blanking. Account was indeffed. "'hey guyz ive been punished and iv been bloked 4 no reason'"
 * Unorginal2: After being blocked, Unorginal2 picked up the vandal mantle, editing children's TV network Kix (UK & Ireland), for example here. Like Orginal, Orginal2 proclaimed after getting blocked, "I HAVE BEEN BLOCKED FROM EDITING FOR NO REASON I HATE THESE MORONS THEY HAVE NO LIFE" Account was indeffed.
 * Unorginal3 is a DUCK; vandalizing kids articles again, including network Kix (UK & Ireland). Account was indeffed.
 * Unorginal4 is a DUCK; same MO. Account was indeffed.
 * Unorginal5 - There is no Unorginal5 yet.
 * Unorginal6 showed a scant 3 edits, but is a DUCK with a name like that and an edit like this one. Account has NOT been blocked.
 * Unorginal7 is a DUCK; same MO. They have elevated their game to name-calling: "stop trashing my edits you gayboy just because you dont believe it doesnt mean it not true". Orginal7 also made contact with me on my talk page a propos of nothing, to ask about moving articles.  This brings me to the following point:

There is another account that might deserve a look from the community: HoshiNoKaabii2000 (Is there a way to link to this user without triggering the user notification?) This editor claims to be 13, has made a series of "good-faith edits" which have been mostly original research and edit warring. In spite of numerous attempts to guide the user, the user persists in adding questionable, unsourced info, and acts huffy when confronted with rules. User has called me out on their User Page as a thorn in their side, and has acknowledged on their user page, as well as on their talk page that they have met Unorginal in real life, and that Unorginal has vandalized from Hoshi's home. In fact, the first Unorginal's first edit was to this user's talk page. "r u british?" I suspect either a good hand/bad hand campaign, or meatpuppetry.

This sock continues to abuse a relatively small number of articles, with a particular focus on Cartoonito, Discovery Kids (UK) and similar children's television articles. Most recent activity is from the 90.216.10 IP address, again showing the same pattern of edits, undoing undos of previous cleanup of their vandalism under other names and IP addresses. No real attempt to hide their behaviour - significant 'tells' include abusive edits and edit summaries - e.g. [] and [] - and interactions with the talk pages of previously used sock names - e.g. [] and [].

Added IP 90.196.92.131 as editor has moved again. (All same ISP) Bonusballs (talk) 17:31, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

The articles Discovery Wings (UK), Discovery Kids (UK), Cartoonito and Disney XD (United Kingdom and Ireland) continue to be a particular focus for this editor currently. Possibly article protection would be appropriate, although they seem to change focus to other similar and related articles from time to time. Bonusballs (talk) 17:36, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

User blocked for vandalism but admits in his unblock request that "i am who I am" and wishes to be changed to Unoriginal2000. Editing pattern is similar as well, as he has been editing Disney/Cartoon articles like his previous socks.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''

Reaper Eternal, who is a CheckUser, reverted the unblock request, therefore there's a high probability that he also did a CU there and if you look at Reaper Eternal's logs you will see that User talk:90.207.17.107 is probably him, as that IP was CU hardblocked immediately after.

Looks like a fairly obvious sock of Hoshi/Unorginal - first edit is to their own user page claiming to be a sock, second is a nonsense edit to a protected page. Looks like they're repeating past efforts of attempting to emulate 'GMTV Chart Show', but the true sock master seems pretty obvious. Bonusballs (talk) 19:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Your edits on Cartoon Network (UK & Ireland) and Disney Junior (international) make us think you are.

The pages Cartoon Network (UK & Ireland), Disney Junior (international), Disney XD (United Kingdom and Ireland), Pop (UK & Ireland) and even TV shows like Bob the Builder are focused on. Protection would be a good idea for these articles, escpecially considering this teenager's huge sockpuppetry.

It also appears that the user seems to like writting songs on talk pages to show his silly feelings. They are creative... and very annoying. TDFan2006 (talk) 10:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Callanecc (talk • contribs)


 * How about this? One nonsense edit, complete with fake reference, from blocked user Benboy00 Stinks (one of Hoshi's many aliases) - [] and the same edit reinstated here by the IP [].

You can just tell by the names that it is him. David Jetix must be his real name. I have never been more insulted in the Cyber World.

He also seem to like using the words "bastard", "shit" and "bitch". Another thing to note when trying to find more socks.

He also seems to be pretending to be GMTV Chart Show once again. Nonsense requests on KidsCo.

He also add sources which brings you to Never Gonna Give You Up, such as what he did to JimJam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TDFan2006 (talk • contribs) 13:10, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

At some point, a Checkuser confirmed that the HoshiNoKaabii2000 socks were connected to FanforClarl, yet when I filed a sock report on TDFan2006 linking them to the presumed sockmaster, FanforClarl, no link was made and a unique SPI was created for TDFan2006, who had exhibited disruptive behavior that reeked of Duck, and who was confirmed to be using sock accounts anyway. judiciously applied a mere 1 month block based on the discrepancy. Please see Sockpuppet_investigations/TDFan2006/Archive for the boring details. Anyhow, all the signs pointed at TDFan2006 being behind the Hoshi/Unorginal accounts, and my "mistake" was filing it under FanforClarl. That said, it's pretty obvious TD is Hoshi/Unorginal based on the boring details, and I ask that this be double-checked. If you need some nugget of evidence, please check sandbox2, which mentions "Unovia" numerously. Aaand, because they've gotten some flak from another n00b user, SillyPotatoe, you might want to double-check that account as well, since Hoshi likes to talk to her/himself.

A Checkuser has already confirmed HoshiNoKaabii to FanforClarl (who may be a sock of Brightify himself), so there will need to be some merging done after this. Anyhow, Cyphoidbomb, you do realize that you can just copy and paste the evidence here right? That being said, this is already looking to be pretty suspicious, and so I'm requesting a Checkuser to help out here. LightandDark2000 (talk) 04:12, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I said fairly clearly that a Checkuser linked Hoshi to FanforClarl, but I am suggesting this was a mistake, since the behavioral evidence seems to link TDFan pretty strongly with Hoshi. They were, after all confirmed to be socking, just not linked to "FanforClarl". As for your proposal to merge, your attempts to merge have been more harmful than helpful, particularly where you've removed my comments, and inexplicably posted new comments while signing on behalf of other users, as you did here. I can't help but notice that you didn't voice any objection when I reverted that edit, nor did you have any explanation for why you performed that edit. Anyhow, I would suggest that admins question any hasty merges suggested by this user. What's the rush to link all of these socks to one master, if it's not the proper master? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:08, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello, guys. As you may have noticed, I added the newest sock to the list. The names between TDFan2006 and TDFan2007 makes their connection seem all the more likely. Last night, TDFan2007 left a link to a personal attack, probably HoshiNoKaabii2000 retaliating for my involvement here. Anyhow, please indef block all confirmed accounts, and the account I just added, as this sockmaster is just not letting up. I'm hoping that a Checkuser can drop by here soon, since this mess is getting worse with each passing day. I'm also requesting a sleeper check, as you never know what else might be hidden. LightandDark2000 (talk) 20:39, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Woah woah woah. I don't know who this '07 guy is and I only breifly know who this "Potatoe" guy is. Also, '07's edit was a mobile edit, I have none. Also, Potatoe has a lot of different article edits than me. Cyphoidbomb, you have to stop being so "Oh, this guy does this like this guy and this guy, now they must be socks." which is what you should do, just it feels you do it in an annoying manner. I am still saying I am NOT Dickhead or NewEditor or anyone, and if I am to make an alternate account, I would post it on my userpage. The Toon Disney Guy (talk) 21:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, dude, once you have defended yourself, there's no need to start accusing the reporting user. FYI, User:TDFan2007's edit was tagged as "mobile web edit," so I am inclined to believe that the sockmaster was using a proxy IP. If that's the case, I recommend an extended block with account creation disabled for that IP/IP Range, in order to prevent further disruption. LightandDark2000 (talk) 23:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Umm... Wait a minute. If HoshiNoKaabii2000 and Brightify/FanforClarl were 2 different users, then why were they both confirmed to each other? Also, I have one more question: which of these 2 sockmasters does User:WangsDaringsFun belong to? That account was definitely confirmed to one of the 2 sockmasters in 2 previous SPI onvestigations, but given the current findings, the connection is no longer all that clear. LightandDark2000 (talk) 08:23, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * As for your question, Cyphoidbomb, I didn't object because I saw the point behind your reverting me. Also, I was under the impression that they were all socks of Brightify, because the accounts were apparently tied to FanforClarl, who in turn was linked to Brightify. However, if it is really true that it was a mistake, that Hoshi and Brightify are really 2 different sockmasters, then we need to sort things out. The reason why I wanted to merge some of the SPIs was because having all of the reports for a single sockmaster under one profile is so much more convenient. In this case, we may need 2 separate mergers (or only 1 if WangsDaringsFun belongs to Brightify) to group the sock farms under their respective sockmasters. LightandDark2000 (talk) 08:32, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hold on, when you said that you guys may have filed 2 SPIs for unrelated sockmasters "lumped" under FanforClarl/Brightify, are you implying that Brightify, HoshiNoKaabii2000, and WangsDaringsFun are actually 3 different sockmasters?? If this is the case, I need to go back and undo the 2 redirects I have inserted into Hoshi's and WangsDaringsFun's SPI archives (after obtaining permission, of course). But given the present confusion, I agree that a Checkuser needs run a check on all listed accounts, along with the mentioned sockmasters before we do anything else. I have added the 3 sockmasters to the list above, in order to help straighten this out once and for all. LightandDark2000 (talk) 08:54, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, and if Checkuser evidence confirms that we really do have 3 different sockmasters at work here, then someone will have to clean up this mess, and remove the "FanforClarl" tag from the user pages of HoshiNoKaabii2000 and WangsDaringsFun. LightandDark2000 (talk) 08:54, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Well then, can you please indef block all likely and confirmed accounts, as well as their repeating sockmasters? Also, please indef block TDFan2007 for being an imposter. He was using a mobile web to edit, you have to keep on mind that it could be a sockmaster editing from a proxy IP. LightandDark2000 (talk) 19:31, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

I dug through the SPI archives of Brightify (the sockmaster behind the FanforClarl sock farm), WangsDaringsFun, and HoshiNoKaabii2000. It appears that Brightify edits from Washington, WangsDaringsFun from Oregon, and HosbiNoKaabii from Britain. So it appears that there may indeed be three separate sockmasters at work here, who were mistakenly identified as one. Cyphoidbomb, I can't be sure, but when the Checkusers confirmed the other 2 sockmasters to Brightify/FanforClarl, I think that they meant that the accounts had a behavioral match, since that is a possible way to link sock accounts created by different IPs. Although some prolific sockmasters have been known to edit from really odd locations or seemingly unrelated IPs, it may not be the case here. Anyways, at least you have somewhat of an answer now. LightandDark2000 (talk) 22:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And just a side note here, some of the listed accounts may be listed as inconclusive because the sockmaster may have used proxy IPs to create them (which happens pretty often). Besides the point, the listed accounts (other than SillyPotatoe) need to be indef blocked if they aren't already, because they are obviously sockpuppets or impersonations of another user. LightandDark2000 (talk) 22:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

It turns out that TDFan2006 is a sockpuppet of HoshiNoKaabii2000, along will pretty much every other account listed in this SPI case (with the exception of SillyPotatoe). So can an admin please change the tags for "TDFan2006's sockpuppets" accordingly to HoshiNoKaabii2000, along with the incorrectly placed tags for the other related socks not on this page? LightandDark2000 (talk) 21:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, User:TDFan2007 is very likely a sockpuppet, due to the relation in usernames and the mobile edit/website tags. But even if it isn't a sock, an admin should still block that account indefinitely, because then it would be an obvious impersonation attempt of another user, as well as a VOA account. LightandDark2000 (talk) 21:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
 * FYI, I have gone out and reverted TDFan2006's tagging of WangsDaringsFun as a sock of FanforClarl/Brightify (it was most likely that there were 3 separate sockmasters anyways). Bbb23 took care of reverting the tag on HoshiNoKaabii2000's user page. LightandDark2000 (talk) 07:26, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm going to ping as she ran the original check. Quite honestly, I can't understand half your request. The nutshell that I get out of it is that you think CU incorrectly matched two people, so that's why I've paged the original CU. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  22:48, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, summarized: confirmed Hoshi as a sock of FanforClarl in Dec 2013. I am respectfully asking for a double-check of this, then a check to see if TDFan2006 is a sock of Hoshi. I believe there is strong behavioral evidence that TDFan is Hoshi. When I previously filed a sock report on TDFan, I did so under the FanforClarl SPI report. When Risker performed a CheckUser on TDFan, no connection was found to FanforClarl. Risker said, "None of these accounts are related to FanforClarl; they are all from a different continent."  But TDFan was socking, and was found to be LIKELY related to  and . Hoshi had been known to create these sorts of So-and-So sucks accounts. There's only so much I can do since I can't see the CU data--I only have behavioral evidence to go on. And also, I could be barking up the wrong tree entirely. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm also confused enough I'll wait for Risker. NativeForeigner Talk 22:09, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
 * FanforClarl/Brightify was active in late 2012/early 2013 and was located on the West Coast of the US, probably Seattle. Hoshi is from the north of Scotland, i.e. Aberdeen. See for example.  (TDFan2006 has also stated that he is from Aberdeen.) The confusion might have started with a number of Duck submissions, which I and others editors may have been involved in reporting, which were not confirmed via checkuser, but blocked anyway before the was closed. I think we have at least two unrelated sock operators lumped under FanforClarl.  This is confirmed by  here.  What is needed is for the Checkusers to unravel this mess because they have the raw data, where I only have behavioral stuff.  I am willing to help however I can.

 * I've retagged a few pages and blocked a couple. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:49, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * This was a mess, and I commend for closing it. I was going to tackle it this morning (I'm fresher and felt I had the energy to do so) after having declined to do so last week. I have not completely reviewed what Callanecc did, and it's not clear there are any right or wrong answers to some of the issues raised by 's CU. So, I will report only what I changed and why and then leave it to another clerk to archive. The one thing that came out of the CU was that Thuckin Hell and Klubklassik were very likely to be the same person. Therefore, at a minimum the tags had to be consistent, and yet one pointed to Hoshi as the master, and one pointed to GMTV Arena as the master. As far as I can tell, both in the archives of this investigation and the archives of the GMTV investigation, the accounts were only suspected. Without looking at the behavioral issues in detail, I decided based on one comment about Thuckin Hell messing with this report, that it was more likely they were the same as Hoshi, so I changed both tags to suspected (I suppose I could have chosen confirmed but didn't) and pointed to this investigation. If nothing else, there is more discussion here about the two. The only inconsistency that leaves is the block itself of Thuckin Hell, which says it's based on GMTV. I suppose I could reblock, and any clerk who archives this is free to do that or whatever they deem appropriate. Sorry for the long-winded explanation.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:49, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Do we have one disruptive juvenile vandal pretending to be two, or are there two separate disruptive juvenile vandals with some overlapping interests/technical data? At the end of the day as long as they are blocked and prevented from causing further disruption I'm not too concerned about whether the tag added to a user page ties them to Hoshi or TDFan. I get that it's a pain in the ass for the clerks trying to sort through the results though. A liberal dose of WP:DENY is likely what's needed. Just block with no talk page access and delete whatever damage they've managed to do., did you add any of your results from the June 12 check to the CU Wiki?

I just felt that as long as we're going to have to separate SPIs on these socks, it would be better to have two masters, which is why I changed the tag. After I post this, I'm going to archive this poor beast and hope it doesn't get reopened any time soon. I assume DQ will see the ping you left him whether this is closed or archived.

 * : this diff from the newly suspected sock contains UNO and Jetania references. We should all be aware by now that Uno is another name used numerously by the vandal or his cohorts. Jetania is also referenced twice in the Hoshi archive, and is also referenced in the TDFan2006 archive. Jetix is a name that the sock operator has used a few times "David Jetix", etc. The name David newly appears in the diff above, as well. It's a safe bet that if "Jetania" (a fictional island fabricated by the vandal that only appears at Wikipedia in sock reports, talk page warnings, and newly vandalized pages) keeps appearing in articles, especially ones related to children's TV, it's probably the sock. In the diff above, the user also references Scotland, where Hoshi and TDFan2006 both hail from, per their own admissions. More Jetania references from the new sock: . There is also an IP at play: . Though we sometimes see IPs that geolocate in Aberdeen, we also see Sky Broadband IPs that geolocate to London.  Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:56, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Maybe it's more than one person, maybe not. If sock 1 is upset that we keep calling him sock 2, all the better, IMO.

Edits are confined to the usual haunts of BBC, Nick Jr. and Sky television articles with all their usual signs of trying to assert their reality. Edits on Articles for deletion/History of Sky television idents are especially suspicious as trying to save edits made by other Hoshi accounts in the past.

 * I agree with Nate Dogg's assessment. It is pretty obvious to me as well that this is a sock from the Hoshi family. I was sort of waiting to see where it went. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:22, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Per Bbb23's note below: I nominated History of Sky television idents for deletion here. This is an article that has been edited by Spendcute, who I believe is a confirmed sock, as well as by Sweet Toof, who I believe is also a confirmed sock. Hoshi had a fixation on "idents", which can be found in the archive. Users who seem to be defending the History article are: 90.196.75.203 a recently disruptive and blocked Aberdeen, Scotland IP (Hoshi and some of his affiliated socks like TDFan2006 were from Aberdeen, Scotland.) and Forgave, a brand new user who somehow seems interested in preserving this article with a scant 6 other edits under his belt.
 * Some sockpuppet foot-shooting by Forgave with this link on their talk page to a convo to Meta between TDFan2011 and Unorginal 20, who haven't been blocked there. Somehow it doesn't strike me as some random person coming in and linking a random conversation which involves the usual bashing of Cyphoidbomb they're famous for. Then there's this beforehand. I'd like to assume good faith here but this isn't really helping.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 21:56, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * BBB: Some "fruity idents" for you: edits. Though ident is apparently a slang term for station identifications in some areas, (I was not aware of this until Hoshi started using the term) it's a pretty specific niche to be concerned about. I've not seen much attention given to station IDs by any of the regular contributors at WikiProject Television. Thus it is a red flag when we see such interests parroted by socks that we already suspect to be related to the Hoshi tribe. It lends more credence to my suggestion that TDFan was related to Hoshi if one or more of TDs socks were tossing around "idents" in their names or in the articles they were vandalizing. I don't particularly care whether or not it's the same person, but there are glaring intersections in behavior, language, geographical location, articles of interest, topics of interest, that would otherwise be very difficult to explain other than by sheer coincidence, or through elaborate imitation.

 * , I get your point. It's difficult for gnomes to keep track of the various reports we've submitted across the most common venues: AIV, AN3, RPP, SPI. Tedious. Lots of juggling. Too much re-writing of the same crap. (Goooood Morning, Vietnam!) Not enough tools to do the job efficiently. AIV is far quicker than SPI, and sometimes it's easier to go that route. Every trip to any of those divisions requires a new report with new diffs, there is no cross-indexing, or even reports filed automatically in triplicate. Gnomes have to hope for some foreknowledge and/or some familiarity by CheckUsers and active admins with the MOs of persistently disruptive accounts. Shifting gears, idents are mentioned in the six Hoshi edits above, fruit idents are mentioned in this edit by TDFan2006 who also agrees with Unorginal for whatever reason in his edit summary, and in this additional edit by Hoshi, more ident nonsense can be found.

 * Indeffed per duck (intentionally no tag). A few comments. First, to . Spendcute is a confirmed sock, although I think the confirmation was for TDFan2006. I don't want to even get into that mess again, thanks. Sweet Toof is not listed in this archive; I didn't check the TDFan2006 archive, and there's no indication of confirmed in his block log. I couldn't find any fixation on "idents" in the archive except for one account who had the word in his user name, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. Now, to . You're right, and it was those recent edits that made the block much clearer, thanks. I'm leaving the case open because I'm not sure whether anything needs to be done about the cross-wiki issue. can you comment, please?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:51, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * , when you said the idents were in the archives, I assumed you meant on the face of the archives, in other words in the posted descriptions and explanations, not edits by the master or puppets. What would have been better was for you to include the diffs you just listed. I' not supposed to have to go hunt them down. But it no longer matters as I blocked even without the diffs. Still, now it will be documented if there's a new case, so it's probably helpful.--Bbb23 (talk) 05:05, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Agreed, and the sock admits being Hoshi. Well, of being Orginal, anyway, whatever difference that makes (none). I've added a new IP above, 2.96.22.67. Same intersections: Sky1, CBBC, Catch Me If You Can (Bashy album), which was edited by a Hoshi sock yesterday.. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I did file an edit filter request a while ago for blocking this Jetania/Jetanian nonsense, but that page doesn't get much traffic, and it probably won't ever be dealt with. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 23:55, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the effort. Tangential: The kid seems to be under the impression that so long as he makes good edits, that they won't be reverted. Can't tell if he's trolling or if he actually believes that. I attempted to educate him about WP:REVERTBAN, but I doubt it will sink in. I saw your edit summaries at the Bashy song, thanks for keeping an eye on that. I opted to not revert it in spite of REVERTBAN. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:09, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
 * 99% of the time, I would just fire the revert button myself (indeed, you can see from my edit summary that I did do so initially). As it turned out this time, there was even more vandalism in there, so I just rolled it back to a 2013 edit with Twinkle in the end. It looks like a very unwatched page, so it's now in my watchlist.

 * Nope. You're engaging in typical good-hand/bad-hand vandalism. You make a few constructive changes at point A, then add unsourced garbage and deliberate vandalism at point B. If you'd taken Wikipedia's standard offer immediately after your first block, and started sourcing things and respecting community guidelines and policies, you'd probably be a welcome addition just like any of our other good-faith teen editors, by now. Instead you've repeatedly taken the petulant low road, insisting that somehow you are in the right and are rebelling against some sort of agenda-driven tyranny. Get over yourself. The standard offer still stands. Go away for six months, come back with an intention to contribute constructively, and we'll talk. Until then, any and all of your edits will be reverted on sight, with no consideration for whether they are useful or not. And tsk tsk, this sort of comment is ridiculous. You are in full control of how you are treated here. Cursing at me only means you're cursing at yourself. "Every time I vandalize, that asshole Cyphoidbomb ruins my whole shit! Fuck Cyphoidbomb!" Hilariously absurd logic. Also, I've never cursed at you, so it's just plain mean. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:42, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Creation of Drinks On Us with inclusion of "Jetania" nonsense again. Content was removed, then readded by disruptive user. Note also the editorial "This is Mike Will's worst performing song to date, as it has only managed to chart in Jetania." He also uses "Jetanie", for instance here and note the reference to Scotland in edit summary (Hoshi is from Aberdeen). Somewhat of a shame. The vandal went off the radar for a while. If he'd continued to avoid editing, he could have taken the standard offer. Now the clock resets. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:41, 23 April 2015 (UTC) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:41, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

More Jetania crap here, in the user's sandbox. This edit seems to suggest that he has another account. This too sounds a little sketch, unless he's referring to the distant past. However, for these reasons, I am requesting a sleeper check.

His edit summaries have become more hostile over the years, like here. On the plus side, it appears he's showing some interest in discussion and being constructive, but he's got to cut the Jetania crap, get rid of the hostility, disappear for six months, and then take the standard offer.

Geolocates to Aberdeen City Council in Scotland, which we've seen before. Same area of interest at Pow! (Forward) for example.

User's first edit here seems like a sarcastic dig against editors who spend more time handling vandalism than creating content. Edits at UK subjects here and here (Hoshi is in Scotland). User's fifth edit was to "approve" my AIV request. Immediately following that, the poor fellow seeks my attention on my talk page. Hoshi has a long-standing obsession with me.

Obvious socks of. In these edits we see the appearance of "Uno". Some of Hoshi's socks were derivations of "Unorginal" (not a typo). Clearly self-referential. Also, introduction of Jetania in edit summary, another of his hallmarks. Also in this edit summary we see a deliberate intention to disrupt, "Yes it is. It stays and that's that. I 'll edit war you if it is to keep this page up." Here we see Hoshi talking to himself. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:33, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism of my user page, interest in Sky-related articles, he's apparently a TV logo savant at an article where he has an intersection with Unorginal, again in the logo department.

User name seems to indicate some sort of cynical dispassion with Wikipedia, which would be consistent with Hoshi's general irritability. This account has edited at Harlaw Academy, which is a school in Aberdeen, Scotland. Hoshi has used numerous IPs from Aberdeen, and it's fairly well-established that he is in Scotland. Wikipedia is a lie made these edits, which I reverted, and that were reinstated a day later in these edits by IP 78.146.183.219 with the explanation "He is correct. I attend this school." This IP has edited DJ Khaled discography, which was also edited by DCFan2013, a suspected sock of Hoshi's. The IP has also edited at Fewer Friends, which was created by The Gold VR, a confirmed sock of Hoshi's, and which was also edited by DCFan2013. The IP also added Jetanie nonsense at Worldwide Choppers, which was also edited by TDFan2006.

The IP is clearly Hoshi, and since Harlaw Academy has has only been edited 17 times in 2015 with a huge gap after May, the next-day's revert of my revert suggests an extraordinary likelihood that Wikipedia is a lie is Hoshi. No CU requested for the IP, for obvious reasons. I have blocked the IP for a month. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:09, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Based on the limited available technical data, the account is ❌.--Bbb23 (talk) 04:42, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The evidence had me convinced, but the CU result gives me pause (although CU can be wrong) -- an account with such a name is almost certainly a sock of someone, though. I'm putting the case on hold for now -- if there are more edits to link the account with this (or another) master, then action can be taken. If there are no further edits and the account turns out to be a one-shot quickly-abandoned thing, the account should be blocked as a suspected sock of this master anyways for posterity. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  13:05, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Meatpuppetry has always been a possibility in these cases. It is entirely possible that the original Hoshi was a kid of NN years, and that Orginal and/or TDFan2006 (assuming they are unique individuals) was an older brother or cousin or friend or whatever. There were many duck assertions based on geolocation and such that probably were not actually socks of the Hoshi vandals, but were in fact socks of other vandals. It does seem fairly clear though that the chief Hoshi disruptions are coming from Scotland and other UK IPs. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:48, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
