 * Suspected sockpuppets

I do not necessarily object to all of Riser13's edits, but suspect him/her to be a sockpuppet of Montaj13, who is currently under a one-week block. The Riser13 account was created less than 24 hours after the block of Montaj13, Riser13 is concerned with many of the same articles as Montaj13, and the "13" suffix is an interesting coincidence. Riser13 was warned here of suspected sockpuppetry after several edits, and subsequently made several more edits without acknowledging the accusation (including the "suspicious" one noted below). Neither editor has ever written anything in an edit summary or made any comment to an article or user talk page, despite various reverts and information challenges.
 * Evidence submitted by &mdash; TAnthonyTalk


 * This edit and this unexplained restoration of unsourced trivia ("Alexis Marissa") by Riser13 matches repeated adds by blocked user Montaj13 here, here, here, here, and here.


 * This 2/13/09 edit by IP 75.65.206.149 adds a misspelled episode name ("Cache 22" instead of "Catch 22") in the same manner Montaj13 did in this 2/7/09 edit.

I'd love a CheckUser to solve this for sure since the editor(s) won't even respond to the accusations, but don't know if one is appropriate based on the criteria. Thanks. &mdash; TAnthonyTalk 07:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

Recent contributions of IP 75.65.185.164 match those of blocked user Montaj13 or his blocked sockpuppet Riser13 (see Sockpuppet investigations/Montaj13/Archive), as follows:
 * Evidence submitted by &mdash; TAnthonyTalk


 * Blake Carrington - IP edit 2/19/09 matches Montaj13: here, here, and here
 * Fallon Carrington Colby - IP edit 2/19/09 matches Montaj13: here and here
 * Amanda Carrington - IP edit 2/19/09 matches Riser13: here

In addition, I had previously suspected that IP 75.65.184.186 and above IP 75.65.185.164 were in use by the same individual due to the following nearly identical edits adding copyrighted material from http://tvmegasite.net/day/gh/characters/andy.shtml and/or http://www.freewebs.com/generalhospitalnightshift/cast.htm :
 * IP 75.65.184.186: here
 * IP 75.65.185.164: here

Finally, I had previously suspected that IP 75.66.34.189 and IP 75.65.206.149 (just blocked here as a Montaj13 IP sock) were in use by the same individual due to other similarities.

Intervening Admin Lucasbfr suggested here that I explicitly ask for a CheckUser the next time this editor acts up. Thanks. &mdash; TAnthonyTalk 04:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Although I found no other accounts in use, a couple of suspicious looking accounts might exist, so I cannot rule out other accounts at this time. But nothing needing acting on. Montaj13's main IPs have been "soft blocked", which will prevent IP editing on them, and in light of the repeated evasion extended the original block (itself reset due to evasion) from 1 to 2 weeks. If there are further concerns then Checkuser is likely to be appropriate. FT2 (Talk 11:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Today's edits at Alexis Colby are identical to others by blocked user Montaj13. See Sockpuppet investigations/Montaj13/Archive for exhaustive history on this editor. Basically, it is unsourced trivial info from an editor who refuses to engage in discussion, and has been indefinitely blocked.

Blocked IP for 31 hours, its obviously a dynamic range so a longer block is probably useless. If this continues we can consider a rangeblock on the range. For now though its pretty easy to see and undo without much hassle. ——  nix eagle email me 21:28, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Evidence submitted by TAnthony

I have suspected that Robinson15 is yet another sockpuppet account of indefinitely blocked user Montaj13 for some time now, based on the May 2, 2009 creation of Denver-Carrington from copyrighted material (previous created by Montaj13 and deleted as a copyright violation, see deletion notification) as well as other Dynasty related edits with strong similarities to edits made by Montaj13 and his/her blocked sockpuppet Riser13. For example, this edit by Robinson15 to Blake Carrington matches the following additions of unsourced OR by Montaj13: here, here, and here.

Robinson15 has added copyrighted material to various articles this month, and has been warned repeatedly on his/her talk page. He/she has also made many edits that seem acceptable, so I left this warning in good faith on 5/19/09, telling Robinson15 to stop the copyright violations immediately or I would pursue this sockpuppet report. Robinson15 subsequently added copyrighted material from http://www.soapcentral.com/amc/whoswho/marian.php to Marian Chandler (All My Children) here (today, 5/21/09).&mdash; TAnthonyTalk 21:25, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

This username is similar to User:Robinson15, a blocked sock of Montaj13. This edit (an incorrect spelling fix) by IanRobinson94 is also similar this edit by Robinson15. IanRobinson94 has also been editing many of the same articles as Montaj13 and related socks.

IanRobinson94 also continues to make Dynasty and The Colbys-related copyright violations despite warnings (and without response or comment), as did Robinson 15 (as noted in the previous sockpuppet case).&mdash; TAnthonyTalk 06:10, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I've protected Alexis Colby for 1 month. I'm not sure what else to do here, though. A rangeblock on 75.65.128.0/17 would cause collateral damage due to uninvolved editors editing on that range, and further protection would restrict other non-autoconfirmed accounts and IPs from editing. Anyone else have any ideas? MuZemike 06:09, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
