Evidence submitted by Bovineboy2008
Giordano removed information from 2010 in film identical in style to Tdi7457  and with the same justification (Tdi and Giordano), adding one to remove another. Tdi has already been blocked for IP puppets.


 * Ok, i just read the article in the WT: FILM, i had no idea what was going on, but to be fair, Bovine, you did mention that any person has a right to be on that list, but when i added it, the format went funny. Since i don't know how to fix something like that, i removed someone.

Passes WP:DUCK to me. Tdi says he lives with 5 people who might have hijacked his original account - of course, they might have had their own accounts to, if it's true. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 21:57, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Blocked and tagged, just as BWilkins and the sockmaster posted here. –MuZemike 22:00, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

I suspect Bovineboy to be the original sockpuppet that was Tdi7457. Both accounts edited the page 2010 in film without consensus, but only Tdi7457 was banned. Bovineboy then immediately noticed that Giordano Adams edited the page and suspected sockpuppetry. I suggest that Bovineboy get the same treatment as Giordano and Tdi for he too has reverted or changed the page to suit his manner. Some examples include the following:."Falco Clive (talk) 16:11, 7 July 2010 (UTC)"

Since I cannot use that one term anymore to describe those who shoot themselves in the foot, Falco Clive is clearly a sock of Tdi7457 and has been blocked and tagged. –MuZemike 16:21, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Same unhealthy focus on the Elżbieta Czyżewska article, 2010 in film, and other death in 2010 articles. IP trying new tactic of removing Czyżewska's article and entry by claiming she is too much "trouble" because of the "three blocked accounts" and IP geolocates right back to Tdi9457's general area based on his own claims and his self-revealed IPs. Yarbo is also focusing on those same articles, appearing to repeatedly try to downplay Czyżewska's notability by removing her reknowned roles from the list and replacing it with bit parts because they are English, and has a similar style user page start as other confirmed socks such as User:Giordano Adams.. Requesting check user due to editors previous use of multiple socks in tandem and need to check for sleepers. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 21:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I am not a sockpuppet. I did nothing to that page that damaged or messed it up in any way. This whole thing is just ridiculous because they suspect sockpuppetry in every edit. I know, i read the issue brought up in WT:FILM. I am in no connection with Tdi7457 whatsoever. Nor with Giordano Adams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yarbo's Tooth (talk • contribs) 23:59, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

– Behavioral evidence clearly indicates that both the reported accounts are Tdi7457; no CU necessary. See UserCompare as well as the similar userpages, , , and. I am also certain, after looking to block 142.177.24.103, that the autoblock on Yarbo's Tooth nailed 142.177.24.103. –MuZemike 18:48, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Same focus on 2010 in film and Deaths in 2010, same type of starting user page as the last ones, seems likely to be the same guy all over again. Requesting CU for confirmation and to find sleepers as it seems like he has made plenty of socks lately, and at least one IP it is confirmed he has edited from is off its block and back to editing the same articles again. --  AnmaFinotera (talk  ~ contribs ) 18:21, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * I am not a socpuppet. First of all, i have a shared IP address. Second of all, what damage has been afflicted to the 2010 in film? a simple addition is hardly damage. It's a pretty common case of insecurity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.192.57.44 (talk • contribs) 13:58, July 18, 2010
 * Hmmm, that sounds familiar --  AnmaFinotera (talk  ~ contribs ) 19:08, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that's because it's called truth. Maybe once your big-headness deflates you can fully understand the definition of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winchester Admiral (talk • contribs) 19:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Please stay civil, Winchester. And Wikipedia does not appreciate sockpuppetting no matter how harmless or even helpful the edit. BOVINEBOY 2008 19:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Also a familiar insult, as is the inability to sign your comments. --  AnmaFinotera (talk  ~ contribs ) 19:53, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

to check on underlying ranges and sleepers. I have already blocked the IP and Winchester Admiral as obvious socks. –MuZemike 20:38, 18 July 2010 (UTC)


 * ✅ the following are the same, and that they're related to Tdi7457:

My first account was hacked, as stated. Yes, i admit to being Tdi7457, but it's also stated that if i am hacked, i'm allowed to make a new account with a stronger password, but each time, i'm immediately referred as a sockpuppet. It's unfair and breaches my right to having an account on Wikipedia. And my god, this this all you do all day, hunt for edits to a page and immediately revert it and declare them a sockpuppet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.192.53.223 (talk) 21:15, 29 July 2010 (UTC)


 * You are a sock puppet. You were already told on your talk page that the "hacked" excuse doesn't cut it and as you are continuing the same vandalism you pulled under the supposedly hacked account, do not expect anyone to believe you. You are NOT allowed to make a new account, because you were not blocked for being "hacked" but for vandalism and disruptive editing. --  AnmaFinotera (talk  ~ contribs ) 22:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Since he admits to being another sock, and seems to feel he has the "right" to have another account, a sleeper check may be warranted to make sure he hasn't already made said account. --  AnmaFinotera (talk  ~ contribs ) 22:35, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Admitted sock of Tdi7457, IP blocked for a month. Tdi7457 should again note that he was blocked indefinitely for persistent disruptive editing, and the whole "hacked" thing was a blatantly false claim by himself in a failed attempt to get unblocked. He should probably refer to WP:OFFER. ~ mazca  talk 22:45, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

See Defending yourself against claims. t's hardly sockpuppetry whatsoever. The decision to remove her entry was ruled due to the vandalism both Tdi7457 AND Bovineboy2008 made to the page. Bovineboy has made more damaging edits to the page than Tdi7457 and by the looks of things, the cause of the edit wars. I recommend him to review the Interest Conflict and should review his edits a little more thoroughly. User:Milwaukee Patriot

No need for checkuser, a quick look at the contributions and those of IP 99.192.53.223 and it quacks like a duck. Duly blocked.--Scott Mac 14:00, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Disruptive editing, same focus on death sections and Year in death articles. Both edited my userspace and Rio has "retired" Tdi as well as tried to remove sockpuppeteer tag. BOVINEBOY 2008 22:03, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

It is worth noting that Rio de Janiero God is under a 12 hour disruptive block. Personally, given the normal time to chun through these thigs I didn't think that would be an issue as Rio would have a chance to defend themself here before this closed.

However, the editor did post a direct reaction to the notice on thier talk page - and.
