WP:DUCK per sock naming convention and editing behavior. User:Ljlas20 was first seen editing the List of programs previously broadcast by Radio Philippines Network article and keeps on adding shows that did not even aired in this network. Once those shows are removed or his edits were reverted, he uses one of the listed sockpuppets to re-add his edits. See 1, 2 and 3 for editing behavior evidence. - WayKurat (talk) 06:58, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Same account naming pattern with the previously blocked socks of Ljlas20 (Carton Network shows + CN). Also, the new sock was seen re-adding the same content added previously by User:BlooandMacFoster on the Template:Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation template.

 * The user account Zoebryce had been globally locked, I checked on the CA records, this user was blocked at ceb.wikipedia as "sockpuppet of LTA 2toy mora" summary, the other account 2toy mora was also blocked at ceb.wikipedia as "sockpuppet of LTA 2toy mora/Bertrand101" summary.

I didn't because I don't know how far along the investigation is.) --Closeapple (talk) 16:24, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Given the username similarity and the overlap in edits related to the categorization of TV stations (Zoebryce2: ; Zoebryce: ), I definitely think these two accounts are connected, so I've gone ahead and blocked Zoebryce2. SA 13 Bro makes a good point regarding Bertrand101, and I'm interested in whether CheckUser can connect Zoebryce and Bertrand101. I've also blocked the most recent IP 49.146.47.17, as its behavior matches that of Zoebryce2, reinstating the latter's edits at times: . Mz7 (talk) 08:52, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * To add a bit of behavioral connection, Bertrand101 has also expressed interest in radio network articles, which seem similar to the kind of television broadcast articles that Zoebryce edits: see Sockpuppet investigations/Bertrand101/Archive, for example. Admittedly, however, Bertrand101 doesn't seem to be too interested in categorization, so I'm not sure I fully expect that Zoebryce is related to Betrand101. Mz7 (talk) 19:46, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Several IPs in a similar range were blocked last November. They had a pattern of doing work related to television/radio stations and sports announcers, including a habit of adding (unsourced) announcers to the infoboxes of National Basketball Association team season articles. Examples of the previous IPs' work can be seen here, here, here, and here. These IPs have jumped in over the past couple of days, making edits like this, this, this, and this. These edits bear a strong resemblance to those performed by the previously blocked 49.146.XX IPs. Giants2008 ( Talk ) 23:31, 11 January 2018 (UTC)  Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:31, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

New sock has the same naming convention on other recently blocked socks of Ljlas20 (adding -CN at the end of the username that usually is a show in Cartoon Network). Also, I have listed the IP address 49.146.37.33 for sockpuppetry. The IP keeps on adding the category "Radio Philippines Network personalities" on the Julie Ann San Jose article, even if the said artist did not become part of the network. JohnnyBravoCN re-added that category to the said article after reverting the edits of the IP vandal twice. See 1 and 2 for behavioral evidence. - WayKurat (talk) 07:46, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

The username is the evidence itself. The most recently blocked sock for Ljlas20 is User:Liezandro06. The IP address also had the similar editing behavior of Ljlas20: editing the Radio Philippines Network and Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation related articles and adding hoax information on them. See 1, 2 for evidence. - WayKurat (talk) 01:19, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Both accounts are mostly editing or creating new articles involving Radio Philippines Network and/or Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, similar on what Ljlas20 or the confirmed socks are doing before getting blocked. Also, both accounts follow a pattern: the names are based on the protagonists of the Grand Theft Auto series. - WayKurat (talk) 15:28, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Too obvious that this is a new Ljlas20 sock. This time, he's using one of the protagonist names in Grand Theft Auto 5. Previously blocked socks were named after the protagonists of GTA III and GTA San Andreas. WayKurat (talk) 03:41, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

IP was seen editing the same articles that the sockpuppets have been editing (Radio Philippines Network related articles). The new sock account reverted back the IP's edits. Also, the new account has the similar naming pattern compared with previously blocked sock accounts which are named after Grand Theft Auto series characters and the game in the series that the character appeared (samples: User:De Santa GTA V, User:Lazlow GTA III and User:Sonny GTA VC). - WayKurat (talk) 01:37, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Sockpuppet is adding hoaxes on radio station articles and disrupts Philippine related articles. Username WP:DUCK. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 13:13, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''
 * SeanJ 2007 reverting all the edits of the suspected sockpuppet, but the sockpuppetry is not confirmed yet, the reporter also didn't provide any evidence that the suspected user is a sockpuppet. Any admins here can take action on this case? Ctrlwiki (talk) 05:43, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The sock is repeatedly doing the same as the previous sock accounts that is editing Radio Philippines Network related articles, see Special:Diff/1049860979, Special:Diff/1049861048 and Special:Diff/1049861241. The sock also disrupts Philippine related articles, see Special:Diff/1051581302, Special:Diff/1050677578 and others (just check the targets contributions and some of these are the same as the previous). The edits may not be the same of the previous socks (for some edits) but has disrupted the same articles (some has different edits like Radio Philippines Network related articles). SeanJ 2007 (talk) 06:25, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I will just mention WayKurat about that, because he often caught the socks edits that is similar to Ljlas20. Maybe he can explain it more clearer why. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 07:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * We need your comment about here to clearly prove that Liberty1892 is a sockpuppet of Ljlas20. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 01:58, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm gonna reply on this SPI once. Liberty1892 is not an Ljlas20 sockpuppet. Based from the user's behavior in the past days, this user showed a different editing behavior compared to Ljlas20. I may have mistaken to tag the said user as an Ljlas20 sock in their talk page, since the user's account name may be based from Grand Theft Auto's Liberty City. There is a common pattern on Ljlas20 sockpuppets that uses names in the Grand Theft Auto series. I might be able to remove the tag before SeanJ created this SPI.
 * Based from my previous encounters with SeanJ (AKA User:Sean Ethan James D. Querubin), this user have made a lot of rash decisions lately: moving old articles to draftspace without even consulting the original author, requesting protection removal on an article that was protected for years due to a longterm vandal, because he believes that the vandalism is long been gone (not realizing that the protection itself is the reason why the vandalism lessened. Thanks Sean, the vandal returned on their shenanigans right after your request has been granted). Now, he created this SPI and keeps on nagging me on finding any evidence.
 * The concerns I raised may sound for an WP:ANI against SeanJ but I'll save it for another time. Right now, I apologize for tagging this user as a Ljlas20 sockpuppet. -WayKurat (talk) 15:55, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

 * While normally one should not revert a sock's edits before they've been blocked, sometimes people (myself included) do do it if it's particularly obvious. It seems from Sean's filing that he feels that this case is obvious, so I'm going to assume good faith that he's just failed to supply the needed diffs. If we wind up determining that Liberty1982 isn't a sock, then we'll review things.More broadly, I see that you're coming into conflict with Sean in a lot of places. Showing up at an SPI like this to complain about him could be seen as WP:HOUNDING. If you have concerns about his editing overall, you would be better off going to WP:ANI or contacting an administrator. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 06:24, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Could you please link some diffs from Ljlas20 or past confirmed/proven sox that are similar in nature? They don't have to be the exact same thing, just similar in some way that is unlikely to be coincidence. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 06:35, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
 * You've already pinged WayKurat once. Since they've continued to edit, I think it's safe to assume that they're either already preparing a reply, or not interested in replying. There's no need to ping them again. (If you're worried that they didn't get your first ping, turn on "Failed mention" and "successful mention" in Special:Preferences.)I'm going to leave this open a few more days, for you to gether more evidence, and for WayKurat to show up if they'd like to. (They're under no obligation.) In the future, please keep in mind the header at WP:SPI: Evidence is required. When you open the investigation, you must immediately provide evidence that the suspected sock puppets are connected. The evidence will need to include diffs of edits that suggest the accounts are connected. It's entirely possible that you're right here, but it's not so obvious that I can see it just from checking recent contributions. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 16:34, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Closing without action, with prejudice. Thank you for your comments clarifying what happened, and for acknowledging responsibility for your mistake. If you want to apologize, though, it's better that you apologize to Liberty than apologize here. Just so you know, only clerks and admins should really be tagging users as sox. The documentation at sock is rather out-of-date on this, and some other clerks/CUs and I have been working on overhauling that series of templates to make it clearer that that's not how they're meant to be used, so it's not your fault; but just for future reference. In the future, please do not file SPIs if you don't have evidence of sockpuppetry. Also, please do not try to intimidate people by pointing to the existence of an SPI, after it's already been established that you don't have any evidence. You may consider this an informal warning (more for the intimidation than the filing). Now please go revert all of your reverts of their edits—or, if you stand by the revert for another reason, make a dummy edit explaining the reason.
