Evidence

Puppet master, along with sock puppets, have repeatedly vandalized Marian Rivera. Sock puppets are linked by the following:

  • 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)[reply]

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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
Comments
  • 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)[reply]

I just blocked User:Pepter me! (talk · contribs) because it was created by the blocked sock Newnimator (talk · contribs). 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.

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)[reply]

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