Seank100 was removing masses of sourced information from The X Factor (U.S.) page, (see here, here, here and here). The suspected sock, 1Dbad has also been editing the page, making identical edits here and here. Neither user leaves explaination for their edits. Seank100 actively blanks his talkpage if you try to communicate with him, and he has claimed to be working for Simon Cowell, thus having a conflict of interest in editing anyway. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  17:50, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The reason I've been making 'identical edits' was because I keep removing everything Seank100 was adding, just like you and others are. (check out his talk page history, you'll see I actually CHEWED HIM out about his edits, which I sure wouldn't do if it was my other account.) Just like you guys I'm completely against this user and what he's doing to the page, so I'm kind of surprised that you think I'm just his clone. (which I'm not) And I've never removed masses of sourced information like that user has, and the reason I'm removing his 'sourced' information is it was confirmed not to be true. Dermot O'Leary said in a video interview with ITV a while back that he made it to the shortlist to be the host of the show with 4 other people, but the other 4 were all Americans. Not only does that rule out Welsh Steve Jones, but I believe what Dermot said more than a lot of rumors about the host right now since it came from his own mouth. (and since plenty of both US and UK rumours have turned out to be false.) Not only that, but I haven't seen anything confirming that Nicole is out of the running for a judge and instead might become a host, since I haven't seen anything but gossip mags report it. (now it might be true and a reliable source may have reported it, I just have yet to see it) And I'm sorry about never leaving explanations for my edits, but that's because I'm new to editing Wikipedia so I don't know everything yet. Not to mention I don't really see the use since people can see what I edited via the history, and I didn't know it was some 'crime' (or I'm guessing it is?) to not leave explanations for them. But if it really is then I promise to start using them more often. And I don't blank my Talkpage either, it's just no one's ever commented on it. One person did one time but they ended up removing it for some reason. (otherwise all comments I made are on other people's talk pages, and that's because they tell me to keep my replies on their page) If you don't believe me then please, feel free to check my Talkpages history to see for yourself. I have nothing to hide because I'm telling the truth and I'll do anything you or anyone else needs me to to prove it.


 * And to be honest I find the accusation kind of silly. I don't get why I'd make another account just to constantly remove my own edits. That'd be pointless. Not to mention I don't have time for such childish nonsense, and I'm shocked to even be accused of it when hardly any evidence was mentioned. (and of course, since it's not true) And I'm actually on your side on trying to stop him with everything he's doing to the article, which makes me even more surprised to be accused of this.


 * Oh, and by the way, I don't claim to work for Cowell because I don't. 1Dbad (talk) 04:53, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

 * It's actually users. I'm 1Dbad and Seank100 is another person entirely. Just like you and everyone else I'm trying to stop him from taking sourced things off the article, moving it around, and adding unconfirmed or not reliably sourced information. I'm not sure if you think him (or I guessing it's a him?) and I are the same person (hopefully not), but just thought I'd clear it up just in case. Is there anything we can do to stop his constant tampering? 1Dbad (talk) 09:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I'm confused. In this edit 1Dbad removes the advertisement section, but in this edit Seank100 adds it. Seems contradictory to me. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I am too. I don't get why I'd undo all the edits that user made if that user was me as well. It's very contradictory and definitely isn't something I would do. Not to mention this is my only account. (feel free to move this *anyone who reads this* by the way, I'm still fairly new to Wiki editing so I wasn't sure whether to put one colon like Lil-unique1's reply to you or put three so it'd be after my reply to Lil-unique1. 1Dbad (talk) 10:19, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure either. Hence I thought i'd file the report and see what others though. There is some overlap between the two user's edit targets. &mdash;  Lil_ ℧ niquℇ № 1  [talk]  23:27, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Why did you do that? You should have just talked to me about it first before doing this, and then if I didn't reply or if I did undo your edit to my Talkpage file a report. That's what I'd do and I think would make a bit more sense. And actually there's hardly any overlapping. The only overlapping is I've edited the same page he has, but that's it. I've never done anything like he's doing and as of recent I've mainly just been undoing his edits. Mainly because a lot of it is false or unconfirmed; and since I saw no need for some of his edits. (for example, I see no need for the advertisement section since I think what he's(?) trying to make an advertisement section fits best in the history section, and there's not enough advertisements yet to really talk about them) And trust me, if I made other accounts (which I sure as heck didn't) I wouldn't be fighting my own edits but making sure my edits stay in tact. I'm really surprised this is happening since I don't see enough evidence to be suspected and since this isn't true. 1Dbad (talk) 04:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Based on behavior I'm pretty sure they're different people. Closing with no action taken. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:35, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
