The entire edit history of Globe-Trotter since 2 October 2019 has been a series of highly promotional edits by these SPAs. Additionally, the WHOIS data for both IPs ( and ) show them as belonging to Globe-Trotter. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:18, 12 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Based on the editing history, I would discount the possibility of Timur Bonfacio being part of this sock farm. Bonfacio's edits related to Globe-Trotter as a celebrity favorited brand, as Bonfacio seems to be interested in editing about celebrities. The most recent bits of editing are all about the product line itself, referencing, among other things, a "fragment of paper" from the Globe-Trotter archives (a reference source not likely accessible by the general public).

 * This is pretty obvious. I've ifdef blocked all of the named accounts above.  Based on the WHOIS data, I've also blocked 83.218.137.12/30 and 87.224.117.128/29 for a year.  The interesting thing, however, is whether User:Timur Bonafacio is the actual master; they're clearly a SPA, but separated in time by several years, so it's hard to say.  I've added them to the list above, but not taken any action on them yet.  I'd be interested in other opinions.  I haven't tagged anybody yet because if we decide Timur is the actual master, we'll need to re-title the case.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:55, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
