Filipino vandal who uses countless ip's (internet cafés?) to create elaborate hoaxes, making up fictional versions of existing cars for the Filipino market. He also inserts Filipino stars and actresses into the boards of various car companies and other random places. Often a series of innocuous edits serve to shield vandalism (I am sure there is still a lot of it out there). Jajadeleradesign already got himself blocked on his own, but this is a seriously disruptive vandal, many of whose edits are still embedded in various articles. See for already blocked Jajadeleradesign to compare with ip edits, earlier puppet is Jajadelera3 (I believe). Various car companies, , receive Maja Salvador as a board member, further invented cars for the Philippines are here: ,. Don't know that checkuser will be necessary, these go way beyond quacking. Original troublemakers are (obviously) Jajadelera and Jajadelera2.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  06:37, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

"Jajadelera" is the original sockmaster (see sockpuppet archive for 121.54.54.37). Edits with invented car models continue apace, see this one and this one for instance.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  14:39, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Also see already blocked "Jajadelera3"'s edit history - inserting Eula Caballero into the boards of various car manufacturers and similar hoaxing to all of these IPs. That Jajadelera2013 is a puppet should be pretty obvious since he was kind enough to use the same name.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  17:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * A new IP, inventing hoaxy Philipinnes version of the Turkish Karsan J10. Again, this is a lie and is exactly the same kind of behaviour that has gotten this user blocked 25 times already.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  17:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

This doesn't look like sockpuppetry to me. At most, this looks to me like a user who did a lot of logged-out editing via an ISP that gave him frequently changing dynamic IP addresses. I couldn't see any evidence of trying to deceive (such as pretending to be multiple people weighing in on a talk page — for that matter, I don't think I saw any talk-page edits at all from any of these accounts). — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:14, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Um, the deceptions are in the edit diffs provided - fake cars that don't exist are added to countless articles with different IP addresses, often with layers of innocuous edits laid on top of these edits. The same editor has already suffered a range block for vandalism and simply continues IP hopping, making hundreds of destructive edits such as this one, in which he makes the pretense that actress Isabelle Daza is the head of Mazda. Please see the archive of this page for another twenty or so examples, or any off the diffs provided above. It might be accidental IP changes rather than active sockpuppetry, but this editor needs to be blocked and in no uncertain manner. There is no such car as the Isuzu i20 for instance, a fake invented by one IP and then added to other articles by another IP. As a side note, Jajadelera2013 has mostly innocent edits as he signs out to vandalize, except here where he adds the fictional "Ford E-Max".  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  05:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm quite sure this is either abusive, or this user is simply taking advantage of an absurd rate at which his IP would need to change for this to be natural. The edits aren't constructive and are consistent with prior vandalism. It might be good if we could get a CU to link Jajadeleradesign to Jajadelera2013 and Jajadelera3 and look for any socks. It might be worthwhile to merge to Sockpuppet_investigations/Jajadeleradesign/Archive as well. NativeForeigner Talk 18:03, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Same user name as original sockpuppet (coincidentally I would like for this investigation to be moved to "Jajadelera", I think it would help in stopping him in the future). See here and here for other "Jajadelera" variations. Continued obsession with Filipino trucks and buses (see linked edit histories). First ip also edits Maja Salvador (here), an actress with which this vandal seems obsessed, Volvo Buses etc etc. Second ip also edits Volvo Buses and the history at Isuzu FVR also commingles with JajaDeleraSeries' history.  Mr.choppers &#124;  ✎  17:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The original blocked user in this investigation is 121.54.54.37, who has also used various Jajadelera variations such as Jajadelera2, Jajadelera3, Jajadeleradesign. NativeForeigner blocked Jajadelera as part of an overall sweep against this extremely prlolific vandal who has used at least a hundred different ip's by now. I don't know how to stop them, but here's an example from earlier this morning of some of the user's obsessions - placing his favorite Filipino actresses on pages relating to cars he likes.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  10:21, 15 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Added Unixbytes90, same craze with adding "Santa Rosa, Philippines" to the production fields of various random cars. See here, for instance. Also bizarre is this and this. Seems that WP isn't the only place that this loonie is attacking.  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  07:37, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

One more sock: The usual obsession with (non-existant) Filipino versions of cars, in this case renaming the Nissan Almera to something that he likes better, making it credible by using proper sources for the Almera, but changing the name. There's also on average one new IP per day who walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, making the exact same types of edits that are Jajadelera's signature, but since those IPs cover the entire Metro Manila area there is no way to block them all. So all we can do is clean up after him. And please, can we have this entire SPI-case moved to User:Jajadelera? Thomas.W (talk) 15:06, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

I mostly encounter this vandal as an IP, usually beginning with 121 or 180, but he also had a few puppets using various versions of "Jajadelera".

Making the exact same type of edits as puppetmaster, including writing about fictional companies and fictional car models ("Mazda Daimler Trucks", claimed to have been incorporated in the Philippines, is a non-existant company: diff1, diff2). Removing speedy deletion template from article created by just blocked sock JajaDelera2013-1, diff3. I usually don't see any point in reporting Jajadelera's IP-socks, but since he is active as I write this I decided to file a report also about an IP. Thomas.W (talk) 11:42, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Jajadelera struck again; this time with a different set of IP addresses. On June 25-26, Jajadelera used two IP addresses to vandalize the Suzuki Swift article with the usual poor grammar and misleading information about Philippine production (see here and here). In addition, user "Imnil A. Jolo" is suspected to be another sockpuppet of Jajadelera, as evidenced by this edit of the Volkswagen Type 2 article. Areaseven (talk) 04:37, 26 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment/correction: I very much doubt that User:Imnil A. Jolo is a Jajadelera sock because a few varieties of Volkswagen, including Type 1 and Type 2, were assembled in Manila by a company called DMG between 1957 and 1984. The years given by "Imnil A. Jolo" in his edit (1951-1974) were wrong but the rest of his/her edit is correct. Thomas.W (talk) 08:30, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Makes unsourced and possibly hoax edits on pages related to cars, trucks and buses. The name also implies that it is a Jajadelera sock, just like Jajadelera's previous named socks (which means that he either seriously underestimates the intelligence of people on WP, or wants to get caught...).

New incarnation of prolific Filipino vandal Jaja Delera. Makes the same types of edits to  car articles as the puppetmaster and his multiple socks.

New user account editing the same type of articles as Jajadelera and his multiple socks, and creating the same type of articles, that is a mix of content forks and pure hoaxes. Also added a copyvio image uploaded to commons by Jajadelera to Takanobu Ito (diff: ). The user name, with JD in it, is also a giveaway, since Jajadelera has a habit of adding parts of his name or his initials to the user names of named socks. Thomas.W  talk to me  15:51, 30 August 2013 (UTC)


 * It might also be of interest that the edits the suspected sock has made to articles not related to the automotive industry, probably in an attempt to look more like a legitimate user, have all been reverted as vandalism, by different users on each article. Unfortunately without issuing user warnings for them, because if they had he would have gone through all levels, up to and including level 4, on those edits alone.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and waggles its tail like a duck, so I firmly believe that it is a duck. The IP leads to the same ISP that JD has been using lately (the latest block of a JD IP was a three month block of the remarkably similar IP124.6.181.46 on 11 September 2013) and the edits show the same obsession with cars, Filipina celebrities and IPO pronounciation of the names of foreigners  that confirmed JD socks have been showing.

Same procedure as usual, obsession with car and truck related articles and Filipina celebrities. It's a bit easier than usual to make the connection to Jajadelera this time though, since this particular IP was blocked for two weeks for being a Jajadelera sock on 16 September and started doing the exact same type of edits again as soon as the block expired. The only surprising thing is that he hasn't been detected until now, when he showed up on my watchlist. Maybe he's beginning to learn which articles to avoid?

I happened to stumble across a new obvious Jajadelera-sock today, after not having seen any for quite some time, so I decided to look for more, resulting in the four names above. Number one was active today, number two about six weeks ago, number three last February and number four last September. The first three show all the more typical marks of being Jajadelera: name, interests and creating new articles that more often than not are hoaxes (#1, #2, #3), while the fourth, which only made a single edit, is named JajaDelera and shows another hobby of his, adding IPA-pronounciation to foreign names.

Since all I can do is look for socks with a similar name I'm requesting a CU check to see if there are any obvious socks with atypical names. Thomas.W talk 17:14, 15 June 2014 (UTC) Thomas.W talk 17:14, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

 * I've blocked both accounts and blocked 121.54.54.128/25 for a month 48 hours. The range contribs tool is back up (hallelujah!), which shows there is at least one constructive anonymous editor on the same range, even with such a small range. CU might be useful for sleepers (though obviously detecting them might not be easy if the range is busy). HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  23:15, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Soft-blocking a single IP is unlikely to have much effect given their evident ability to change IP address at the drop of a hat. Rangeblocking is a judgement call in situation like this, but I'm inclined to re-block for another few days (with the new rangeblock template, which contains more information than the standard templates/boilerplate reasons) since it seemed to have some effect last time. do either of you object to, say, a 72-hour rangeblock?

 * blocked 121.54.54.128/25 for a week 8 days ago without ACB, but IMO the entire problem is their incessant creation of painfully obvious new accounts. Some IPs (121.54.54.168, 121.54.54.169) have been blocked by as open proxies. Both  and  commented about potential collateral when first discussing a rangeblock, but I'm wondering what the tradeoff would really be here and whether the entire range should be blocked as a proxy (or just blocked with ACB for a slighlty longer time), and whether IPBE could be an option for whichever editor works from that range. Perhaps if nothing is feasible we could at least setup some sort of filter? I mean, these accounts names are so incredibly obvious it pains me to see we're powerless to prevent them before they manage to sneak past. I'm placing a CURequest here for additional attention. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  21:06, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Obvious is not necessarily a bad thing. At least they're easy to spot. There are options, like using the title blacklist or the edit filter, but the risk is that we spend more energy on inefficient methods that end up causing more problems than they spend on just creating accounts with different usernames. As for the rangeblock, the range does appear to be quite busy and there are constructive edits coming from it. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  22:05, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The collateral from this range just from IPs is huge and from memory a hardblock is out of the question. My intention with the block was to use accounts which are much easier to detect and control (especially given their use of them). Didn't see the CU request, I haven't rechecked but from memory we aren't going to be able to hardblock (my as soft as you can get block was on the edge of too far). Obviously I'm not confirming that this range is the same used by the accounts (which given the use of the range doesn't matter as much). Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:14, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * What about 's blocks on some specific IPs in the range as open proxies? I'm terribly unfamiliar with how proxies work, so I may sound stupid, but if two IPs in a range are "open proxies", would the rest of the range also be?? ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  16:40, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about proxies, but obviously the purpose of blocking them is to prevent abuse (because there are a few legitimate reasons to obfuscate your IP address, but most uses on Wikipedia are ... undesirable), but there's at least one constructive editor editing anonymously from that range so I'd be reluctant to block it for any length of time. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  16:55, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I doubt about the constructiveness of the edits mentioned by . I've seen and their socks making few apparently constructive edits only to follow with a large number of fake modifications. Furthermore, anyone interested in long-term editing is always able to create an account.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 17:02, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you've missed the point. That may be this person's MO, but there appear to be other people using the range anonymously. Although it's a relatively small range, the IP addresses in it appear to be dynamic IPs allocated by a Philippine domestic broadband provider. From the edits, it's entirely plausible that there are three or four different people editing anonymously on the range, and presumably there are many more registered editors. Incidentally, I'm not a CU and none of this is based on any private information—you can review the edits for yourself at the link I provided in my first comment. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  17:26, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
 * This particular range is very busy. Collateral is absolutely massive. I think we're unfortunately in whackamole mode here. NativeForeigner Talk 22:57, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

I am not familiar with the sockmaster's work, but I saw his/her name in a recent edit summary for the Bulgaria Air article and realized it was almost identical to the User account which created Bulgaria Air fleet. The IP is included because of the overlapping of edits with Jaja.Delera01. YSSYguy (talk) 09:42, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
