 * I've blocked Mamaluigi2 and the IP as obvious ducks. It doesn't look like the user is even trying to hide; I don't think they understand what a block means. There are WP:CIR issues here, and the claim in their babelboxes to be a native speaker of English is obviously not true. I'm merging the reports and closing (hope *I* didn't mess up, Begoon. :-)) Bishonen &#124; talk 12:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC).
 * In reality, Mamaluigi2 is by far the older of the two accounts. Please move/rename, retag, reblock as necessary. Thanks ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:47, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

121.1.18.239 (mentioned above) leads to UserMDI via same edits at Far Eastern University: vs. And also this edit by the IP is the same behavior pattern of inserting that link and associated copyvio/spampromotion in several Philippines-related media articles as UserMDI.

I ran into a few ip editors that all seemed to edit the user pages of previously identified socks to say that they had retired, instead of being blocked. Might be worth checking to see if any new account have been created. Juno (talk) 02:35, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It is worth noting that not every edit by these ips was negative. A few of them actually correctly, or more correctly identified talk pages as belonging to socks of Malusia22. Juno (talk) 02:40, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, 121.97.139.179 has already been blocked by Kuru, while 203.87.254.27, 203.111.231.129, and 203.111.231.130 have already been blocked by DoRD. Juno (talk) 02:44, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

The ip editors also seem to be related to the previous sockmaster Papajeckloy. Juno (talk) 03:08, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''
 * Comment: For me, those IPs are not socks of Malusia22, instead they more likely belong to User:Bryancyriel and/or User:Mamaluigi2: a vandal that is obsessed with Angry Birds. This user is known to edit user talk paged and adding the tags he found on User:PapaJeckloy's talk page to unrelated users and IP addresses. -WayKurat (talk) 02:50, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, the kid seems like "stalking" every edit I do. I got involved on blocking Jeckloy and Malusia22 and this kid wanted to be involved into them as well. -WayKurat (talk) 02:53, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmmmmmmmmm, interesting. I may very well have pegged this to the wrong sockmaster but it is definitely the same entity and they definitely up to no good. Juno (talk) 03:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I suspect this is User:Mamaluigi2 given the focus on Angry Birds and the rest is trying to hid. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 14:30, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, from the editing, I'm certain that these are Mamaluigi2 rather than Malusia22. I already blocked some of the IPs, and the first IP is now covered by a rangeblock. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 16:07, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I noticed something similar on 18 September, but fingered the wrong sockmaster. Same activity, likely the same perpetrator. Probably worth looking to make sure and check for any sleepers. Juno (talk) 05:41, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

You could also add:

I'm almost certain this is the same user -
 * pings all the same users involved with his previous nonsense:, ,
 * Uses same distinctively (deliberately?) broken English to "answer" questions about behaviour with non answers - see talk page etc. e.g., (see odd edit summary also).
 * Adds his new article to a disambig page with his 8th edit: . cf,.
 * Uses key phrases from previous incarnations: "just living in the Phillipines" :

With this sock he's not overtly edit warring yet, and has made innocuous edits elsewhere, but it's the same kid, imo, just too many things in common for it not to be. Begoon &thinsp; talk 06:20, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply @. Yeah - I had to get a couple of Angry Birds pages semi'd at RFPP earlier when he was out to play on proxies. That's all I've really been concerned with, the article space, since the rest is so silly as to be hardly worth a (desired) response, imo. Begoon &thinsp; talk  12:59, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Judging from the edits done by both IP socks, he reverted edits from the talk pages related to Bryancyriel/Mamaluigi2 I previously reverted and posted bogus welcome pages to four new accounts that have no edits on them. The 119.94.247.108 IP also edited the Angry Birds (video game) talk page and he reverted all of the edits of his previously blocked IP socks, reinstating his version that tags the Andrea Brillantes article (1, 2). -WayKurat (talk) 16:06, 1 October 2014 (UTC) WayKurat (talk) 16:06, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

He's now claiming that he is someone from the DILG Caraga (a Philippine government office) (see this and this edit), which is obviously false, given the edits he has done and the cursing he posts. Also the name he used in his new sock (Raffy Tulfo) is a known public service TV personality. -WayKurat (talk) 06:22, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Per WP:DUCK. Although this user has not yet begin the "Angry Birds" wrath, the new user has a very striking similarity on how he created his user page.

Per WP:DUCK, this IS Mamaluigi2. Just weeks ago, a similarly named sockpuppet account has been reported here in SPI and was subsequently blocked (see User:Laila Chickadora).

Per WP:DUCK, Bryancyriel/Mamaluigi2 starts naming his socks on Filipino catchphrases and now edits TV5 (Philippines) related articles. He started adding Facebook and Twitter links on TV5 shows using 121.96.218.170, then after I removed it, he used a different IP address (212.55.45.185, a proxy IP) reverted back his edits and even "welcoming" the first IP address (a Mamaluigi2 trait). After the proxy IP edits has been reverted, two new accounts (Walang Relasyon and Malintadong Pinoy) popped out and reverted back the links. And after those two have been tagged as Mamaluigi2 socks, this user popped out and added hoax info in the Rovio Entertainment article. After Reaksyon AGAD-AGAD was blocked, two new sockpuppets (I will take the one and DaMack's) reverts back the cuss post added by Reaksyon AGAD-AGAD on my talk page.

All of the accounts mentioned above is consistent with Mamaluigi2/Bryancyriel's editing habits: re-add his previously reverted edit on several TV5 show articles, in which he adds the "official" Facebook and Twitter pages of the shows, then adds curse words either directed to me or the previous editor on his edit summary. He's current tactic is to create a new username, edit one article, abandon it and create a new username. -WayKurat (talk) 00:42, 21 November 2014 (UTC) WayKurat (talk) 00:42, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
