Suspected sockpuppets

Editing pattern and behaviour seems to match those of User:Gerald Gonzalez, a user who was community-banned for disruption. His userpage seems to suggest the same fanaticism as with the sockpuppeteer, who was known for COI/POV edits.

Both does not provide edit summaries and mark all edits as 'minor.' axrealmdotcom (talk) 11:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And the fact that his behaviour and apparent intent suggest that he is Gerald. Blake Gripling (talk) 11:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is weird that an editor will edit the article of Angel Locsin and mark all his edits as minor, and mostly will not put edit summaries just like these editors who are all Gerald's sock. As you may not know, the community is exhausted with what Gerald had/has been doing, and the Tambay has to do all the works to fix the damage made by the said user's in all his comeback. axrealmdotcom (talk) 11:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Additional information needed whilst it is clear that you have extensive experience of dealing with socking by this user, we ask for evidence of socking, rather than assertions of socking. It is not sufficient to open a case saying "I've looked at the edits, and I'm satisfied". You have to satisfy an admin here, and I'm afraid that this involves "spoonfeeding" the admins and clerks with information in the form of diffs. Mayalld (talk) 11:22, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence submitted by Blakegripling ph
[edit]

User activity suggests of being a sock of banned user Gerald Gonzalez, based on editing patterns and behaviour described at this page as well as in this LTA page. He had attempted to recreate the Abdulnasif Dimaporo page, which is likely to be him, based on the fact that he spawned similar pages that included his surname.

Sockpuppet User:APOLDumlao has a similar sounding name compared to sockmaster User:ArnoldDumlao. Passes WP:DUCK test.

Vandalism, otherwise removing unsourced sections like channel listings of some cable channels and some sections of some entertainers articles, this may be a Sock Puppet of Gerald Gonzalez. Supergabbyshoe (talk) 14:24, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide any diffs and subsequent warnings? Can you show that the user is delibrately ignoring them? Otherwise, this is too generic and looks like a vendetta.  – Tommy [message] 19:57, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response to Evidence submitted by Supergabbyshoe: The lack of any evidence provided with the filing of claim and the following edit summaryACTIVE BANANA to the list, this is the end of the user!!!!) leads me to believe this is a bad faith accusation.

my response to Taric25's comments not related to allegations of sock puppetry- hidden
Partial reply to Taric25 (not related to the actual purpose of this page, allegations of sockpuppetyr). Not every editor has as their goal for improving wikipedia to elevate every article they touch to Featured Article status. Some of us are content to keep a wide swath of wikipedia articles from sinking into a morass of myspace fanpages which would have the very real danger of dragging the overall respectability of Wikipedia as a source for valid information into the gutter. From WP:NOTBATTLEGROUND "Wikipedia is a volunteer community, and does not require its users to give any more time and effort than they wish. Focus on improving the encyclopedia itself, rather than demanding more from other users." Active Banana (talk) 12:55, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Partial response to Taric25 (related to the purpose of this page, allegations of sockpuppetry) "I ran wikichecker for both[1] users.[2] I found that when one was logged on, then other was logged off," Yep, when I am asleep is when Gerald_Gonzalez is most active, and vice versa.

Comments:

I am a Reviewer (verify), and as I was checking Special:OldReviewedPages and Special:RecentChanges as I was reverting vandalism today, I noticed an IP 200.63.165.19 (talk · contribs) requested assistance at Wikipedia:Editor assistance/Requests#User: Active Banana. I took a glance and saw Active Banana was not helping the editor and working in the opposite direction to remove content. I offered my assistance and left messages on both their talk pages directing them to a section I created on the article’s talk page in order to discuss it and stop the edit war. Long story short, I took a few minutes to do a simple Google search to find newspapers that published much of the information that Active Banana removed. I urged Active Banana to keep a cool head for the display of sarcasm and to use edit summaries instead of reverting with no explanation. I urged the IP not to focus on Active Banana’s behavior, and I urged both editors to specify the content in dispute. Although Active Banana agreed to be “willing to have the unsourced claims removed from the main page and placed here until each claim is verified and removed back to the main page with its source”,[3], I realized I was dealing with an editor totally uninterested in improving the page (to eventually one day getting it to featured status) and more concerned in playing Wikipedia wack-a-mole and removing good-faith edits in the process.

Active Banana’s response disturbed me.

Back at Editor Assistance: Requests, I saw, “I have started a topic on Talk:Melissa_Joan_Hart#WP:UNDUE_and_WP:RS regarding this user's edits to the Melissa Joan Hart article. Elizium23 (talk) 02:19, 18 June 2010 (UTC)”[6] with an identical problem with the same user. I also found Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive613#Not sure how to approach this. I also looked into the current open investigation of Active Banana’s sockpuppetry here. I ran X!'s Edit Counter[7] and edit summary[8] for Active Banana the same two[9] reports[10] for Gerald Gonzalez and the and looked at their contributions, and I ran wikichecker for both[11] users.[12] I found that when one was logged on, then other was logged off, and they were both doing the same type of editing removing content in the same fashion. Taric25 (talk) 06:58, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See the blue car? Yep, she was going too fast.
In reply to Active Banana’s comment as of 12:55, 18 June 2010 (UTC), I do not demand editors spend any more time on the project than they like, however, I may demand they change their behavior in how they spend their time. To put this in perspective with real examples, according to X!'s Edit Counter, I have been on Wikipedia since Oct 21, 2005 02:08:57 and edited 656 unique pages. You have been on Wikipedia since Feb 03, 2010 23:55:39 and edited 1,476 unique pages. This clearly shows you do not take your time when editing and are focusing on the quantity of your edits rather than the quality, and you violate Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers in the process when you remove good faith edits from new users. Per Wikipedia:Vandalism, “Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example adding a controversial personal opinion to an article is not vandalism,” although removing good faith edits despite multiple warnings is disruptive edit warring. In the previous examples I showed above, multiple editors continued to urge you to collaborate, which you have failed to do. You work against good faith when you remove good faith edits from the encyclopedia, and the constant removal of good content runs completely against the project by subtracting from the sum of knowledge. Wikipedia is and should always be an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, anyone, no matter how inexperienced they are with our rules. You have not shown your dedication to consistently collaborate with them, and you have not shown dedication to displaying what we consider to be our best articles, as determined by Wikipedia's editors: featured articles. The only dedication that everyone can agree you have is to remove as much content that doesn’t align with the rules from as many articles as possible in the least amount of time. Per Wikipedia:Where to get feedback on your new article, “Above all, don't rush: Rome wasn't built in a day, and there's no reason any article should be.Taric25 (talk) 16:57, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In reply to Active Banana’s comment as of 17:50, 18 June 2010 (UTC), the fact that you just claimed or know Gerald Gonzalez’s activity against your own real–life sleep schedule is in and of itself probable cause for sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. Taric25 (talk) 10:51, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
