User's edits continue to resemble those of Jimmyhoward, who was banned for adding unsourced speculation and fake casting news to soap opera cast lists. Jimmy focused on the List of Days of Our Lives cast members, while Brod is focusing on List of The Young and the Restless cast members. User joined about a week's time after Jimmy was banned for doing the same thing. Edits are just too similar to each other.


 * Type of edits Jimmy made
 * November 6, 2013
 * November 9, 2013
 * November 13, 2013


 * Type of edits Brod is making
 * January 12, 2014
 * February 3, 2014
 * February 6, 2014 (all of today's edits go along with this one)

These kind of edits are just far too exact for comfort from an editor who felt they were reporting proper news, yet nothing they provided was founded, and they made up fictitious news postings.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 02:54, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Could you provide diffs and explain how they're fictitious? Mark Arsten (talk) 17:45, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I did provide the diffs above. And even explained upon it. They're adding casting(s) and returning character(s) that don't at all exist from any publication or notable sources. They're adding completely false information, as such Jimmyhoward once did.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 17:56, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, no, you just provided a version of the page that they had edited, a diff is something like this that shows the exact change they made. I suppose I can block though if you've verified that the change is not present/or is contradicted in reliable sources. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I've blocked the suspected sock for adding factual inaccuracies, still not sure if there's any relation to the alleged master though. Closing now. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:06, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Diff 1 (January 12), Diff 2 (February 3) and Diff 3 (February 6). If you note, in Diff 1 they report Sarah Joy Brown as joining the cast of Phyllis Summers, then on February 6 cite the casting again, this time with Crystal Chappell, which could not be. Chappell is currently recurring on another series. But all of their claims, much like Jimmyhoward, are nowhere found on any news-publishing sites online or in any physical publications.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 18:09, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to see. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:12, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Clearly both users are the same, given their name. But their edits continue to provide non-sourced material from creditable sources, for casting decision on The Young and the Restless. Accounts are being used for vandalism and fancruft editing. Obsession with the same characters as previous users banned under this sock.

Once again, Crystal Chappell is currently on The Bold and the Beautiful and pursuing several online web soaps, and Cameron Mathison is starring on a Hallmark series, debuting later this year. And Rebecca Budig is currently hosting a talk show on Hallmark, as well.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 18:26, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Edit on 2014/2/17: As of today, Brod713 is another sock, returning to continue more edits (see here and here. It is clear this user is unable to handle that they have been blocked from Wikipedia to continue vandalising the page.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 16:12, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

 * This is anything but clean. There appears to be the use of mobile devices, making checkuser rather useless. That said, the following are ✅ socks of one another:


 * is related to the above group.
 * From a purely technical standpoint, appears ❌.  Tiptoety  talk 22:33, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Marking as closed, I've created Sockpuppet investigations/Celinedionfan123 to for the confirmed group of accounts. Jimmyhoward9654 is already blocked indef. Mark Arsten (talk) 02:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

User has returned again, continuing edits that say Phyllis Summers is returning, except is now saying actress Susan Haskell is joining as Phyllis. No credtible source has confirmed this, especially since Susan has gone on record to state that she does not live in L.A., where The Young and the Restless currently airs. User also goes on to continue violating the fact that Wikipedia is not a crystalball and fails to provide a source for their findings.

 * Diff 2

User obviously is unable to handle their block from the website and will continue to come back and vandalise these pages.  livelikemusic  my talk page! 01:35, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Blocking per WP:DUCK, both because the edits are in the same style as before, but also because the user name (Barodrigo713) is very similar to older sock names (BA Rodrigo = Brod, not to mention that Barodrigo713 is almost the same as Brod713). I've blocked and tagged this latest sock. --  At am a  頭 19:12, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Their continued obsession with recasts of Phyllis Summers on The Young and the Restless, and is back to listing Sarah Joy Brown as the actress joining the cast, which is far from any reliable truth. Plus, their re-addition of characters that have not been reported to be coming back.
