User has the habit of adding unsourced information on Miramax or Dimension Films releasing numerous Hong Kong and Japanese films; almost all of which displaying very poor grammar. Such examples include 1, 2, 3, and 4. He also does edits under the IP addresses listed above, such as 1, 2, and 3.

In addition, user has a tendency to attack those who revert his edits, as evidenced here, here, and here. Areaseven (talk) 08:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

User has a history of adding Dimension Films and Miramax Films as distributors to several Jackie Chan films, along with unsourced information on U.S. video releases. Although Tue2011tue himself has not been active since his recent ban was lifted over a week ago, his two sockpuppets listed here have attacked the exact same articles, as evidenced in the following examples:

Police Story
 * Tue2011tue
 * Legospidey2014

Police Story 2
 * Tue2011tue
 * Legospidey2014
 * 123.21.150.1

Police Story 3: Super Cop
 * Tue2011tue
 * 123.21.150.1

Armour of God
 * Tue2011tue
 * 123.21.150.1

Crime Story
 * Tue2011tue
 * 123.21.150.1

Time and again, the user has been warned and blocked more than once for disruptive editing of this kind. Please see to it that his behavior can no longer be tolerated further. - Areaseven (talk) 11:29, 19 August 2013 (UTC) Areaseven (talk) 11:29, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Comment The IP is almost certainly Tue2011Tue evading his block: Tue2011Tue has already been blocked previously for block evasion using, and both IP numbers belong to VietNam Post And Telecom Corporation. There is virtually a full overlap between the articles they have edited with only one exception. As for whether Legospidey2014 is a sock, I think there is a compelling case against him: there is a virtually identical edit at Godzilla vs. Biollante ( by Tue2011Tue and  by Legospidey2014). Legospidey14's account was also created three days after Tue2011Tue was blocked. One edit isn't enough to hang a person, but given the virtually identical nature of the edits and the timing I think there is a strong enough case to sanction an IP check.

 * Indeffing sock and blocking master and IP one month and two weeks respectively. I don't see block evasion from the IP here because the IP only has contribs after the block was over but it does look like socking. The sock account was used for block evasion. Two weeks to double the evaded block plus two more for socking. Closing.

Following his most recent block, user has retaliated by blanking my User page via IP address above. This is not the first time he has done so, as evidenced here and here with a different IP address. And here's his explanation. - Areaseven (talk) 02:57, 20 August 2013 (UTC) Areaseven (talk) 02:57, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

User has struck again with another IP address (123.21.143.49). He has posted the exact same style of edits on Project A, Game of Death, Way of the Dragon, The Big Boss and Fist of Fury. - Areaseven (talk) 01:51, 23 August 2013 (UTC) Areaseven (talk) 01:51, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

And shortly after the first IP address is blocked, he continues his vandalism spree on another IP address (123.21.142.118). As evidenced on Who Am I? and The Heroic Trio. - Areaseven (talk) 13:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

I say we just block anonymous editing from this ISP for a month. The ISP originates from Vietnam, and according to, Vietnam only generates 24,000 edits per month; only 10% of them are to the English Wikipedia:. That brings the total number of edits to the English language Wikipedia to just 2,400 per month. Anonymous editing on Wikipedia accounts for about 40% IIRC, so that brings the number of monthly anonymous edits down to about 1,000, and that's for the whole of Vietnam, not just one service provider. At most we'd lose a few hundred edits, and I bet a large chunk of them are by this editor. Betty Logan (talk) 03:22, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

The IP sock above was previously reported, but insufficient evidence was presented, not to mention that the IP's location is different from the other IP socks. However, there is evidence that Tue2011tue and the IP sock have very similar editing patterns:

Police Story
 * Tue2011tue
 * 98.246.221.62

Police Story 2
 * Tue2011tue
 * 98.246.221.62

The Heroic Trio
 * 123.21.142.118 (one of Tue2011tue's regular IP socks)
 * 98.246.221.62

I can't prove that Tue2011tue and IP 98.246.221.62 are one and the same person, unless Tue2011tue actually flies from Vietnam to Oregon regularly. However, this could be either a friend or relative collaborating with him as a copycat. Areaseven (talk) 07:49, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

In the previous SPI reports, Tue2011tue used a group of IP addresses from Vietnam, while at the same time, an IP user from Oregon was doing edits that had the same M.O. as Tue2011tue. It was never proven that Tue2011tue could be in two different continents at the same time, but a recent string of edits - particularly personal attacks on editors - may have been too coincidental:

User:Areaseven
 * Edit by 113.172.212.106, 26 August 2013

User talk:98.246.221.62
 * Edit by 98.246.221.62, 7 September 2013

Also take note that the edit by 98.245.221.62 was done during his 1-week block period, as he had nothing else to do but vandalize his own Talk page. Areaseven (talk) 14:42, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Like Tue2011tue, user has added irrelevant distributor information on foreign films such as Police Story, The Heroic Trio, and Godzilla vs. Biollante. Evidence is as follows:


 * Police Story
 * Legospidey2014 (one of Tue2011tue's blocked socks)
 * TheMovieMan1954


 * The Heroic Trio
 * 98.246.221.62 (one of Tue2011tue's IP socks)
 * TheMovieMan1954


 * Godzilla vs. Biollante
 * Tue2011tue
 * TheMovieMan1954

TheMovieMan1954's editing behavior seems to be following the same pattern as Tue2011tue, given the similar articles being edited. Areaseven (talk) 05:09, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Edits of both socks follow the same pattern as before, adding false distributor information on Jackie Chan and Hong Kong films. Furthermore, the IP sock's provider and location are the same as, which was blocked on October 2014 for 1 year. Here's the evidence:

Police Story
 * 67.171.146.162 (14 March 2015)
 * 98.246.221.62 (22 March 2014)

Police Story 2 - Areaseven (talk) 10:39, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * 67.171.146.162 (14 March 2015)
 * 98.246.221.62 (22 March 2014)

 * Mechagoji75 (15 March 2015)
 * Tue2011tue (26 June 2013)

 * Mechagoji75 (15 March 2015)
 * 67.171.146.162 (14 March 2015)
 * Tue2011tue (20 July 2013)

The Heroic Trio
 * Mechagoji75 (15 March 2015)
 * 67.171.146.162 (14 March 2015)
 * TheMovieMan1954 (7 October 2014)
 * 98.246.221.62 (2 September 2013)
 * 123.21.142.118 (23 August 2013)

Notice the pattern of the users adding Miramax Films, Dimension Films, or New Line Cinema to the articles, even if those studios had absolutely nothing to do with the original production of the films. - Areaseven (talk) 13:10, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment Given my previous experience with Tue2011tue I agree the MO is very similar. If the case is kept open for another day or so I will take a closer look to establish a behavioral connection but I am bit busy right at present. Betty Logan (talk) 06:46, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Further comment The request to provide a hard link between Tue2011tue and Mechagoji75 is difficult to meet when you consider the edits are two years apart. As Areaseven demonstrates above they clearly share an MO (adding US distribution content to Martial Arts films). However here is an incriminating edit on Fist of Fury: Tue2011tue and Mechagoji75 (note the insertion of "Jing Wu student"). There is strong circumstantial evidence at any rate. It is worth bearing in mind that 67.171.146.162 was blocked yesterday evening and Mechagoji75 edited in the early hours of this morning. If they are the same editor—and suggests they are—then Mechagoji75 is evading a block anyway, regardless of the connection to Tue2011tue. Betty Logan (talk) 17:34, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Mechagoji75 is still actively editing, so how can he be stale? - Areaseven (talk) 02:25, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * CheckUser is used to compare two (or more) accounts to each other. Mechagoji75 is active, but all other accounts are stale, so we do not have anybody to compare him with.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  12:12, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Shortly after the sock was blocked, the IP user posted a message on my talk page:

"I HOPE YOU DIE IN HELL, AREASEVEN. tue2011tue"
