It should be noted that Ronald Federici (one c) is a psychologist who's professional opponents claimy he is an "attachment therapist" but who say's he is not. The DPeterson sock will certainly know of Federici, even thoughb he has spelled his name slightly wrong. This is not the first time this sock has used real world names.Fainites barleyscribs 22:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As backgound, DPeterson is a long term POV warrior who engages in sneaky vandal [1], sock-use (on some 50 articles before ban, primarily child, welfare, and therapy related topics), and editing to defame professional opponents [2].

Evidence submitted by Fainites

Duck sock of prolific socker DPeterson. Not quite as quacky as all the DDP edits and insertions of Becker-Weidmans material but Complex post-traumatic stress disorder is a well known stamping ground. In particular compare the edits of User:RankinUberall who inserted similar material into CPTSD as well as the more usual DDP/B-W stuff, and User:Edgarof Carbondale who made the one similar edit. There have also been numerous other DPeterson socks on this article, already blocked, and one called User:Abdul Faisel who wasn't blocked but simply stopped editing. Complex Trauma/Trauma Disorder is a new stamping ground for the Therapists Formerly Known As Attachment Therapists. Repeated, edit-warring insertion of copy-paste material is typical of this editor. Previous investigations recommend CU for this sockmaster although he also edits when travelling and uses proxy's.

The usual run of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy related edits. Promoting DDP by adding books as "empirical studies" and claims of efficacy. It is usually advisable to do a checkuser as this sockmaster often has sleepers. However, he also edits by proxies and when travelling so checkusers are often negative.

I've added the other socks (CornerStoneBlue, MexicoSam and Hershey123PA) just for reference purposes. They all make one set of edits of the same type to the same article.

I cited several references that meet the criteria as Reliable sources as I read the document you cited. The texts are published by highly regarded publishers, Norton & Jason Aronson. I cite more than one citation and the texts include various references to other related texts and empirical studies. I don't see how anyone could consider the citations I include as not meeting the standard he mentioned.

I was asked by a user (email 2014-04-25) to review User:Argon&Helium as a possible sock of User:DPeterson. It's a WP:DUCK: the account is used to promote the exact same spurious stuff as all the other socks - the writings, name-dropping, clinical approaches and organizations to the same benefit of the same parties in the same real-world dispute, which have been reverted and blocked by many other users most years from 2006:

  • Makes repeat attempts to add and reinstate same or similar promo cites and writings as the sock party [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] ("The certification and training are offered in conjunction with a United States treatment center, The Center For Family Development") [8] [9] [10] [11];
  • History of attempting to create new "promo-spam" articles about non-notable therapy/training bodies, that benefit the same side in the same dispute;
  • Tries to reinstate usual attack posts against same real-world opponents, as on many occasions dating back to 2006;

User:2601:b:a580:a8:1bc:ed26:d5e:7b44 is a "More likely than not" sockpuppet or connected editor, which posted only to promote the same institute and to add more promotion to the same articles, but it's stale, and for that reason only I haven't blocked it, but noting it here for reference.

Add the already blocked user:

The two accounts above have both been used to attempt to re-insert the usual material that Centerforattachment was trying to push into Dyadic developmental psychotherapy - as can be seen from the article history to May 2015 --RexxS (talk) 15:46, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 It looks like a duck to me - All of these users have been adding the disruptive material, with the socks on the original case editing the article as well. The Snowager-is awake 02:57, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCK per the LTA case. Only edits are recreating the promotional article, Arthur Becker-Weidman. Assuming CSD will fail as it doesn't look to qualify for A7 (as currently tagged), nor does it appear to be the blatant copyvio that was the basis for the previous CSD. Given the tenacity in the history of this LTA, salting may be sensible. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:08, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Velella: Just a heads up ping since you added the CSD tag to this one. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:10, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Standard focus on the promotion of DDP and citations of Becker-Weidman. [24] [25] — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:49, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just one recent edit to restore content previously added by one of his socks (complete with the same typo "Clearninghouse"), with edit summary "minor". Perhaps usefully, the IP geolocates to Singapore (where the Center for family development is). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  1. At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
  2. At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
  3. In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:42, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adding similar content to Dyadic developmental psychotherapy (see also page history). The master and one sock puppet also added the exact same content to the article without a summary indicating an automated revert was used (1,2, 3), while the other reverted it back after the first sock puppet account stopped editing. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious sock. Only edit was to join the edit-warring with the edit summary, "reversion to previous version...seems edit war is going on here" [30] Ronz (talk) 00:56, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed the last batch of socks were listed at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/KeyBanking --Ronz (talk) 00:59, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
