 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User Richreyes has been making 4 reverts (and counting) in a row (see here) without discussing over the article talk page. Account is fairly new and looks like it has been recently made after another suspected sockpuppet has been invited to discuss things over, but my post has been removed from his page see here without any reply. Raemundcruzzz only stopped so far after a 3RR warning was placed. Incidentally, Richreyes only made 3 reverts, which is bordering on the 3RR rule. Other suspected sockpuppets have been making reverts at the Davao City article without substantiating their endorsed edits...so far all of them violating WP policy, notably WP:WEASEL and WP:NOTDIR among others. Looking at the article's history, I can observe the same edit pattern of the socks: make a new account, revert others' edits, then stop only when warned. Traced the pattern to the earliest known suspected sock puppeteer. The Cities of the Philippines article history (see here) seems to give weight to my suspicion as suspected sockpuppets: Raemundcruzzz, Richreyes, Pauldesantosguerrero; and their master: Roughvenboy, have made consecutive edits (edit range here) which seems unlikely these accounts are not owned by just one person.
