 * Report submission by


 * Evidence
 * All are new users with very few submissions/edits, yet all on or about David Bortolucci (see above user's contrib pages).
 * - Includes comments on pages of movie where he had a part. i.e. contributions: 35mm on 12:29, 23 August 2007 Talk:Gardener of Eden‎


 * Users have numerous reverts and undoes -
 * - i.e User:Trailcat, who made 3 rapid undoes (Special:Contributions/Trailcat) and then looks to have converted to IP User:72.67.215.25 to continue undoes [].


 * These new accounts continually adding back in false and/or unverified information and or listing unreliable sources on David Bortolucci [].


 * Repeatedly changing and reverting same information, i.e., DOB, and without ever discussing on talk page. []


 * Continual theme/reference of an alleged "cyber-stalker" or "mental case". Users mention and back each other up on this topic in the article, article history edit notes[], and talk page as well as on delete discussion[].


 * - user:76.170.245.52 On David Bortolucci talk page unsigned, useless comment backing up comments by 2times8 & 35mm on 22:51, August 26, 2007 [] (see bottom of page)


 * Experienced editors note/comment on the sockpuppeting on Articles for deletion/David Bortolucci. Please read all comments on that page.


 * i.e.:"Comment: Before deleting, someone ought to note all the various single-purpose accounts screwing around with the article: the article history until recently -- and even now -- looks like a battle of sockpuppets. --Calton | Talk 00:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)"

 * Comments
 * These are clearly sockpuppets and/or meatpuppets.


 * Although it appears most edits/adds are coming from one person, I would guess that there are at least 2 camps in these postings, one in Los Angeles and one in Canada who are all clearly working together.
 * - Suspect main LA address (if not all) will be 72.67.215.25.


 * Possible additional sockpuppet/meatpuppet IP addresses:


 * - 76.81.49.231 (Los Angeles, Road Runner.com)
 * - 75.34.225.215 (Los Angeles))


 * Believe 35mm may be posting from both Canadian and Los Angeles IPs.

Location of known IPs:

74.99.247.214 (TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA/Etobicoke)

76.170.245.52 (LOS ANGELES, CA)

72.67.215.25 ((LOS ANGELES (Venice), CA)

note: *User of IP address 74.99.247.214 became IP address 66.46.48.5 on 9/8/07


 * Conclusions
 * Clear sockpuppetry (or meatpuppetry), but the accounts appear to have been abandoned after the deletion of the promo article, the activity is stale, and I don't see a strong reason to hand out blocks. --Akhilleus (talk) 15:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
