User:Ron Karlos L. Castillo was recently blocked for long-term edit warring on the article Honor Thy Father (film), specifically around the use of the film-date template in the infobox. After the block has expired, the sockmaster continues to edit the article (without any obvious issues), but so does the IP editor. This time, the IP editor restores the second film-date template in the infobox, with the same info that Ron Karlos was adding. Ron Karlos is editing exclusively in the area of Philippine cinema, esp. the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival article. The IP editor is editing the same articles and is also based in the Philippines.

 * OK, I thought the edit history of the article would show it, but I guess not. Here are the diffs:

Sockmaster Ron Karlos adding the template I mentioned:
 * diff
 * diff
 * diff
 * diff
 * diff

IP sock adding the same template:
 * diff
 * diff
 * diff

Let me know if you need anything else.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 19:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  19:45, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Admin action needed - Please, block the IP for 31 hours and warn the master against logged-out editing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  09:38, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Blocking both for one week. I see that he is using the IP illegitimately and not accidentally editing logged out. His insistence today of socking to keep edit warring after being blocked for it earns more than 31 hours. Closing.

Per the previous report, both User:Ron Karlos L. Castillo and IP address 112.208.240.90 were blocked for one-week for socking activity. Straight after the block expires both the sockmaster and the IP start editing the same article in tandem, re-adding the same template that got them blocked before. Five days later, the IP sock comes back and continues.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 12:34, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
