The 'GoodPatrol123' username is similar to the last sock, 'AwesomePatrol'. GoodPatrol123's first edit was to create a userpage with userboxes; AwesomePatrol did the same thing. GoodPatrol123 reinstates AwesomePatrol's edit. GoodPatrol123 submitted Kazaro's draft,, to AfC. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 01:28, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

I've added WebWiki. Every article this user has edited (as of 21:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)) has been previously edited by Kazaro WebWiki has also been inserting links to GMA articles, which is Kazaro's topic area. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 21:40, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

This user has been editing a bunch of GMA Network related articles, changing the link from GMA Network to GMA Network (company) then he moved the GMA Network article to GMA Network (TV channel) without discussing it to other editors or having any consensus. Also, please see this post on Kaponohillen's user page about a certain "Charlie Randy Macaraeg". The name "Charlie Macaraeg" is possibly associated with User:Kazaro as mentioned on this WP:ANI report. - WayKurat (talk) 13:30, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Seems Hollyckuhno forgot to include the report on why this IP address is a possible sockpuppet of Kazaro. This IP have reverted back most of the edits Kazaro made. The IP restored the logo uploaded by Kazaro for the GMA Network and GMA Network (company) articles (the 3D version of the existing SVG version) and gave the same arguments given by Kazaro in the page's talk page. He also restored the edits Kazaro made in the GMA Network (company) article for the past few months. See 1, 2, 3 for behavioral evidence. -WayKurat (talk) 05:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

New sock re-added the list of cable TV providers added by Kazaro socks on the GMA Pinoy TV article. See edit for evidence. Also, user has been seen editing mostly articles involving GMA Network TV shows. Also, please check for any sleepers, since the sockmaster tends to create new accounts upon discovery. - WayKurat (talk) 09:02, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

 * The articles needed to apply their channel territories, According to the website of gmanetwork.com/international has this website. The guidelines/ policy of the users given to me, is totally false. And this may result a distructive editing from undoing. And I'm sorry but the user reported me may possibly made a mistake, and I'm here to provide a good information about the Wikipedia article and not to distract everything, and also you might seen my contributions most of them are from GMA shows because it's my responsible to edit their shows and any related articles from GMA's TV show.

Theamazing123 has a similar editing behavior with User:Kazaro. All of the sock's edits involves GMA Network related articles and if his edits got reverted, he will do personal attacks with the last editor (see 1). Sock was also seen adding "GMA Entertainment TV" on most of his edits. GMA Entertainment TV was an article previously created by Kazaro before getting blocked.

 * Another proof that this account is a sockpuppet of Kazaro: 1. Personal attacks on other users who reverts his edits. -WayKurat (talk) 06:09, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Blocked by . An IP seems to think there is a connection to per SRG#Global lock for Theamazing123. I am not familiar with that master, but the SPI archive shows that Dakotaparty and Kazaro edit GMA TV articles. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:49, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Dakotaparty and Theamazing123 are two different accounts. While Dakotaparty and his socks create and edit GMA Network related articles, he is much less aggressive compared to Kazaro and this new sockpuppet. Per this ANI report, he defends his actions and challenges anyone who reverts his edits. -WayKurat (talk) 05:57, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

 * - to compare accounts and perform sleeper check.

The IP which made the claim at meta is problematic at best since they are sockmaster. This doesn't detract from the evidence above which makes a good case but taking their word for it isn't something that we are likely to do. I've included some info for the benefit of those working the case but have it collapsed per DENY. The range analysis suggests that the admins at meta should consider increasing their block to a one year hardblock since he has persistence going back to last November (as seen from en.wiki contribs posted below) and he is the only one in that range. Our CUs here should consider doing a collateral damage check/sleeper check and potentially upgrade to a hardblock, if possible.

 * Range block log on meta with increasing block durations. The latest by.


 * One of the IPs links (blocked by, SPI case) to this LTA as well as making this edit. At least one IP blocked as DRV. They also tag an account as related to this case. Atorres50's contribs are related to the article interests in this case and they are linked to the IP.

For some reason, the link above for the range contribs at meta doesn't seem to work now (but it did). If anyone can correct that would be great. I'm doing something wrong now evidently. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  15:25, 16 June 2017 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  16:42, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * If Theamazing123 is Kazaro, based on the geolocation of the range, I'd say they're on holiday. The results are therefore and behavioural evidence trumps anything I can see via CU. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  17:30, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

Anon edits mostly GMA Network related articles, adding a "plainlist" template to the infobox template of certain GMA Network shows (1, 2, 3), listing all of the cast members of the said show, and removes the maintenance templates of the GMA Network and GMA Network (company) articles without giving any valid reason. (4, 5) This editorial behavior is synonymous on what Kazaro and his blocked socks were doing. - WayKurat (talk) 12:22, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

This account was caught changing the logo of the GMA Network (company) to a 3D version, similar on what Kazaro socks have been doing in the past year. (See 1 for evidence). Also, this user edits mostly GMA Network related articles and even moved one article Sherlock Jr. (Philippine TV series) without proper consensus and just gave out a flimsy excuse to move it. - WayKurat (talk) 03:53, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
