 * The name and the editing behavior are very similar to the two recently blocked socks. The sock was caught editing mostly Philippine radio stations articles and adding hoax callsign meanings to them, similar on how the sockmaster does it before. See 1, 2, 3 for behavioral evidence. - WayKurat (talk) 03:07, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

The new sock edits the same articles as the previously blocked socks. The obvious evidence that this is Johsua Saldana's sock is that he adds hoax callsign meanings to Philippine radio station articles. See 1, 2, 3, 4. Also, the new sock's name has a striking resemblance to the main sock account: Joshua -> Josh. - WayKurat (talk) 15:16, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

WP:DUCK per username. Sockmaster have created most of his sockpuppets by using the same name. Behavior-wise, the new account keeps on adding logos on radio station articles.

WP:DUCK on the username. The vandal's new username is based from the vandal's initials (User:Joshua Lodonia Saldaña). The IP have showed similar editing behavior by using unrelated photos of Filipino celebrities as infobox logos in Philippine radio and television articles as seen here and here. The IP got blocked for 31 hours but after the block expired, the new sock appeared and the IP added any images uploaded by the new account to several articles. The new sockpuppet even left a hidden threat on anyone who would remove his uploaded images on the article as seen here. - WayKurat (talk) 01:39, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

WP:DUCK per last username blocked (User:JLS971). Behavior-wise, the new account keeps on uploading copyrighted logos in Wikipedia Commons, similar on what User:JLS971 has been doing. New account also did this edit, a common edit by all User:Joshua Saldaña user and IP sockpuppet accounts. IP was also caught editing the same articles JS10197 was editing and reverting back the removed photos uploaded by JS10197 on several articles. These edits from JS10197 (here) and the IP address (here), as seen in the edit comments and the unrelated celebrity photo he used to place in the infobox logo section, shows that this is only operated by one person. - WayKurat (talk) 02:41, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

IP range was blocked for three months last May but after it expired last month, it seems that Joshua Saldaña resumed his vandalism activities. Now he is uploading copyrighted Philippine radio station logos using old accounts that were blocked in en.wiki but not blocked in Commons then adding those logos on radio station articles as seen in this sample done in the DWYN article: vandal uploaded a copyrighted logo using the User:FamLod0610 account in Commons, then after a few minutes, he added the logo using an IP address (2). - WayKurat (talk) 02:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
