was blocked indefinitely for block evasion, and he socked with, , and  before this one. Same editing style, continues to add excessive plot details to film articles, like this edit to Disturbia (film). Timmy Polo and his original IP have edited this article numerous times with excessive plot details.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  16:50, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

The user posted a message on my talk page, and signed it with the four tildes inside parentheses (here). User:Hanford West signed with four tildes inside parentheses here and here. User:Physics Honors signed the same way here and here. Timmy Polo usually starts sections with "Message for [User]", and on my talk page, he entitled the section "Message".  Eagles   24/7  (C)  02:29, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

And now he has started a new section on his talk page entitled "Message for Eagles247".  Eagles   24/7  (C)  20:11, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Definitely is a sock. Tb hotch Ta lk C. 18:42, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * See its editions to The Blind Side (film), the same errors, unnecessary details and other things. Tb hotch Ta lk C.  18:52, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, this IP follows the same pattern of adding "flashbacks" to The Blind Side, as well as grammatically poor additions such as "it doesn't show Michael running away from his friend's home."  The IP's talkpage also contains inquiries about the sandbox, which I'm pretty certain is a Timmy Polo trademark.  Personally, I'm convinced this is his sock.   WordyGirl90  19:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Compare this edit from one of his socks with the edit from the IP in question.  WordyGirl90  19:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Not necessarily the same user. The IPs locate quite differently, the plot section in the film appears to be simply taken from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486822/synopsis (with some modifications) so similarities are not surprising, and it appears to me that the new IP's English is much worse, looking at e.g. .

added excessive plot details to Disturbia (film) (a page Timmy Polo frequently edits with his socks) here. He also added excessive plot details to Lethal Weapon 4 here.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  15:27, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

has also added excessive details to Disturbia (here), and exhibits the same behavior on his talk page as 69.108.205.224. See User talk:198.189.228.4 and User talk:69.108.205.224. 198.189.228.4 also adds excessive plot details to Commando (film) here with the same writing style as Timmy Polo.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  16:03, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

198.189.228.4 has just posted this on his talkpage. It is Timmy Polo's trademark "Message for ____" as a new section on his own talkpage.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  16:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

WP:DUCK, IPs blocked, but only for a few days. Amalthea 16:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

posted this on his talk page, which should really give it away. He then signed his post with four tildes inside of parentheses here, something Timmy Polo and his socks always do. He edited Soldier (1998 film)'s plot section here, an article another sockpuppet edited before (here). FWIW, two of Timmy Polo's sockpuppet IPs are no longer blocked (see Special:Contributions/74.211.69.170 and Special:Contributions/69.108.205.224).  Eagles   24/7  (C)  17:51, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Here he creates a new section in response to a message on his talk page with "Message for (User)" and explains that he doesn't understand (typical for Timmy Polo socks). He also signs with four tildes inside parentheses again.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  18:05, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged as per Eagles who has experience with this troublesome user. Interests match; mannerisms match. extransit (talk) 05:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Unnecessary plot details, addition of helpme templates to talk page, lying about name, etc. So obvious it's painful. He also edited Soldier (1998 film), an article Timmy Polo and his socks have edited before.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  20:20, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
