Puppet master, along with sock puppets, have repeatedly vandalized Marian Rivera. Sock puppets are linked by the following:
 * Evidence
 * The repeated creation of a hoax actor article Gerald Gonzalez, which is probably him.
 * The association of these images of the same person, which is aimed for use in Gerald Gonzalez article.

Most of the uploaded images use this Flickr address:. -- Howard  the   Duck  03:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I was just looking at the deleted history of the Gerald Gonzalez article and I noticed on one revision it says Gerald's youtube account name is "NassJamesGoodLooking". So I then looked up User:NassJamesGoodLooking on Wikipedia and found a another nest of checkuser confirmed socks. Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Aiza00 and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Aiza00. One of the "Aiza00" accounts is User:Nass Gonzales. This "Gonzalez" person seems to be part of very long term abuse and disruption and it's probably worth sending this over to checkuser. There might be some IPs and sleeper socks we can shut down. Sarah 09:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Puppet "I Love You" started an article about Victory Combat Force Security Agency owned by a certain "Gomander S. Dimaporo". This surname is similar to this file name. This user also refers to puppet "Kung Fu Master" as owner of this non-free image and to puppet "Angelians" as owner of another image the user uploaded. Starczamora (talk) 14:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Puppet "Zhwrxtvstymzaldrest" concentrated on "I Love You!!!™" main concern: Angel Locsin. User page indicates that he/she is a Filipino Actor, the same user description of Gerald Gonzales.
 * Note: The suspected sockpuppet left uncivilized remarks on my talk page. Starczamora (talk) 09:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Puppet "Lancestop" concentrated on previous socks' main interest: Angel Locsin, adding fancrufty sections such as Celebrity life and success. Starczamora (talk) 02:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Puppet "Lancestop" left a comment on my talk page claiming that he/she/it is a relative of Angel Locsin, which violates WP:COI and is the usual excuse of previous sockpuppets. Starczamora (talk) 03:46, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I do not know if this is intentional, but puppet "Mhtsw" describes himself/herself/itself as Living in Dasmarinas Village, Makati City, Philippines, which has been used by previous sockpuppets. Starczamora (talk) 08:10, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Filipino Wikipedian created account almost exactly at the same time as blocked "Mhtsw" and resumed editing immediately "Mhtsw" was blocked.--NrDg 13:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Im Handsome started editing after previous blocked with similar edit patterns. --NrDg 12:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * User Boronganon started editing after previous sock blocked. Similar edit patterns and behavior.--NrDg 22:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Look at orbiterwiki.org, major vandalism of Gerald Gonzales and also used sock puppets, look at the recent changes or look Gerald Gonzales, Gerald Gonzalez, UrwumpeSHIT, and FUCK YOU URWUMPE. What a major vandalism, multiple abusing of accounts and sock puppets. 121.54.108.42 (talk) 10:24, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * He was also active in at least two Orbiter related forums, managing to get banned in both in less than a week for harassment. His initial user name in these cases was Ouch, his initial activity also points to the Philippines as his origin. He sent me an email on OrbiterWiki some weeks ago from family.quinones@yahoo.com, which I am not sure, if this is another secondary account again. I don't know why the IP bans didn't catch his activity yet like they do on both forums, have to check this with the guy who pays the server bill. He is also banned on Youtube (and on my ignore list there). But I can say, OrbiterWiki had seen worse vandalism in it's early history. And the old one had much more style.--Urwumpe (talk) 17:43, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Just got the confirmation from one of the forum admins that 121.54.108.42 was the static IP address of the vain guy. I hope the explicit IP ban works better.--Urwumpe (talk) 20:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Puppet Consciously Unique concentrated on Angel Locsin with POV vandals and at the same time littered the Marian Rivera article with subtle yet malicious vandals such as this and this (note that "Unga" is a screen name of Filipino midget actor Noel Ayala). Also note that the user description uses random alphabets similar to previous socks. Starczamora (talk) 13:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Puppet Marigold2007 reuploaded unfree image files on Angel Locsin that were previously uploaded by previous socks. Starczamora (talk) 21:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Puppet Cutie guyx22 reuploaded copyvio image files, similar in style to Marigold2007, without adding a specific rationale. Blake Gripling (talk) 00:39, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Suspected sockpuppet User:Wynchard Bloom tried his best to be a good Wikipedian, but his pattern as a nasty sockpuppet shows by adding copyvio images on what else? Angel Locsin. The same user claims that he/ she is Locsin's cousin and accuses other users who question him/ her as "insane," as proven here and more recently here. Starczamora (talk) 22:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * blocked as an obvious Gonzalez sock. If anyone has some spare time, I think it might be worth having a checkuser run to flush out any sleeper accounts. We could add to Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Aiza00. Sarah 16:05, 21 November 2008 (UTC) Checkuser confirmed Wynchard Bloom is a sock of Gonzalez and also identified eight sleeper accounts, all now blocked. Sarah 00:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Suspected sockpuppet User:I Love Philippines seems to be behaving similar to Wynchard; his userpage also is similar to the recently blocked account. One of the userboxes claims that the page was "vandalized 7 times", yet he's the only one who's editing it, and he only registered the account just a few hours ago.

 * New puppet User:Jollibee Happy has also been blocked and I've temporarily protected from recreation the titles for the not notable and possible hoaxes films that he's obsessed with. I can't keep them protected forever but even for the duration of his block might help. Sarah 23:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I just blocked because it was created by the blocked sock. I noticed that he created at least four socks on the same day in April, creating new socks while logged in to other socks. I blocked his IP address on 31 March and disabled account creation and I think this is why he's been creating multiple accounts like this on outside IPs, so be sure to check the logs to make sure any new socks haven't created more sleeper accounts.

See also Requests for checkuser/Case/Aiza00 and further CU identified socks. Sarah 00:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

I think I've blocked all the still unblocked accounts (some had already been blocked as vandals). They're really quite obvious socks. I've also protected the title Gerald Gonzalez against recreation. And I reset and extended the block on the primary account but I did that before I realised the extent of the disruption otherwise I would have blocked it for much longer if not indef. I'm going to keep this SSP active for now as I have a feeling that this won't be the end of it. I've told him on his talk page he has to sit out the block on his account and not create anymore socks but if he does go on to create more, we'll have to file a CU so we can block his IP and disable his ability to create accounts. By the way, he's already tried to blank this SSP so it's probably worth keeping an eye on it in case another sock gives it a try. Sarah 07:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Three more accounts reported on my talk page by Tambayan Philippines members; all now blocked. Sarah 23:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
