 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

In the Iloilo City article, my initial edit for today removed a section which I believe is speculative as per WP:CRYSTAL. This was followed by another revision as per WP:WORDS and WP:NPOV. VicIlongo, however, started reverting the edits with no explanatory summary which led me to start a thread at his talk page. I placed a 3RR warning later as I was already wary of his revert count, including mine. I explained my edits at the article's talk page when Editor999999 reverted those same edits a while later.

Take note of the following:
 * Compare VicIlongo's revert of my edit and addition of information to Editor999999's revert later
 * Compare VicIlongo edit to Editor999999's re-inclusion of the section

While I'm mulling about filing a report at the 3RRNB, I thought it was best to go over here first to sort out a possible sockpuppet issue. I'm suspectful of Editor999999's seemingly abrupt reverts out of nowhere on the same sections VicIlongo edited before. Xeltran (talk) 18:57, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Update: I've filed a report at the EW noticeboard and Bbb23 blocked VicIlongo after looking into it. On the Hiligaynon language article, Bbb23 reverted Vic's last edit as per WP:COPYPASTE only to be undone by Burotsoy, which looks like an account that has just been created recently. Take note of his contributions history which is fairly similar to Vic's. Xeltran (talk) 12:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

 * - There's a lot of edit warring going on at Iloilo City from both registered and anonymous users, with burotsoy being created only recently, as mentioned. Requesting a checkuser on Vicllongo to see if something malicious is going on. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:30, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Vicllongo and Burotsoy are but I can't be any more specific as it's a mobile network for one account and a home/work based IP for the other. Editor999999 without suprise is ❌. --  DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  13:42, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * - This time on, who was recently registered to hop into the same edit wars as VicIlongo. Someguy1221 (talk) 02:03, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm told over IRC that Furittsu's connection is similar to the other socks. Given the behavioral evidence, I am unwilling to believe that three unrelated editors with similar if not identical technical evidence all joined the same edit wars in the span of a few days. If this is not abusive sockpuppetry, it's abusive meatpuppetry. The socks are blocked indefinitely, and VicIlongo's block has now been set to indef for evading a block for block evasion.
