Suspected sockpuppets

Carlo Galanti is a SPA that removes sourced content (mostly financials from film articles) and replaces it with unsourced content. He has been blocked twice for this behavior now, and twice now an anonymous IP (79.56.231.248) has undertaken the same type of edits. Just to give an indication of the types of edits here are a few (although not a complete record):

Carlo was blocked at the start of September and the edits resumed a few days later under the IP (after the block had elapsed, so not block evasion). The IP was blocked on September 14, at which point Carlo began editing again (while the block on the IP was still in force). Carlo was blocked for the second time on September 15 and the IP has resumed editing today. Since Carlo is still blocked this makes the anonymous editing a case of block evasion. It is pretty obvious the editor is hopping between account and anonymous editing to bypass the blocks. Betty Logan ( talk) 17:27, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Update The IP has been blocked for two weeks so I recommend extending Carlo's block to match the IP block. Betty Logan ( talk) 18:43, 17 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Carlo Galanti is an editor who is blocked for disruptive behavior, specifically an editor that either removes or alters sourced content (usually financials) on film articles. His block was extended when he was caught editing logged out under 79.56.231.248. Today, the disruptive behavioral pattern has resumed:

Given the similarity between the IP numbers (they all geolocate to Telecom Italia), and that the new account is targeting the same articles with the same type of edits I think this is a very blatant case of block evasion. It may be worth considering a range block at this stage too if there is agreement that the evidence supports the allegation. Betty Logan ( talk) 14:57, 29 September 2017 (UTC) reply

Carlo Galanti is an editor with a history of sockpuppetry who persistently alters or removes sourced film financials, and he regularly targets the Pirates of the Caribbean articles. A newly registered editor, Luca Firth, has suddenly appeared and is making the same type of disruptive edits to the same articles. Here are a couple of examples:

There is obviously a strong behavioral relationship so I am requesting a formal check on the editor. Betty Logan ( talk) 14:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC) reply

Newly registered account so there isn't that much to go on, but the account seems to be a SPA targeting the same articles with the same types of edits, so it seems to be the same MO. Please compare the following:

  • [16] by Carlo Galanti and [17] by Jackson 96
  • [18] by Carlo Galanti and [19] by Jackson 96

In addition, Jackson has left talk page comments at articles that have since been semi-protected due to his persistent sock puppetry. Due to the fact that there are limited edits so far the behavioral evidence is circumstantial which is why I have also requested a CU, to be on the safe side.

Apologies if I am not doing this correctly. This user is now making edits with the name Travatar91. He is making disruptive edits to the Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell no Tales page, as he has done with other accounts on the link above. His recent history, as Travatar91 is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Pirates_of_the_Caribbean:_Dead_Men_Tell_No_Tales&action=history

If you look at his activity on the talk page for the film, you will note the very similar writing style and poor english/grammar. Foodles42 ( talk) 21:01, 7 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Comment I have added a checkuser request to this report because the behavior at the article has definitely set my spider sense tingling. Carlo Galanti is an editor who has form for deleting sourced financial data from film articles without explanation. While I cannot find an exact replica of this edit, it mirrors activity on the other Pirate articles. Compare the following:

  • This by Travatar91 and this by Carlo Galanti. If you look through Carlo's edit history you will see many deletions of this nature at this family of articles.

Given that Travatar91 is a brand new account with so few edits to its name we can't be certain by just going off behavioral evidence alone so I think we should make sure with a CU first. Betty Logan ( talk) 21:55, 7 December 2017 (UTC) reply

The IP has also targeted Coco and The Good Dinsosaur in recent days. The IP address originates from Telecom Italia which matches up to all the other IP numbers listed in the Carlo Galanti SPI archive. Betty Logan ( talk) 07:10, 30 December 2017 (UTC) reply

Dsiruptive activity removing/changing sourced film financials. Familiar targets such as the Pirates of the Cariabbean articles. I don't think there is much point requesting a checkuser since this is SPA activity with exactly the same MO, targets and pattern of behavior. I can provide diffs if necessary, but the case history provides a clear overview and can be checked against any of the "heavy red" edits in the contribution history of these new accounts.

  • I don't have the time to review this right now, and am not giving an opinion either way, but please don't request admin attention unless you are a clerk. SPI always is at a backlog, and there are a relatively small number of non-CU admins who patrol the behavioral cases.

  • The IP is almost certainly Carlo Galanti who always socks from a Telecom Italia IP address. As for Timmy I cannot be sure. It matches Carlo's MO of deleting sourced film financials but there is only one substantial edit to go on. Carlo pretty much always strikes at one of the Pirates of the Caribbean articles when he is active and this editor has not done that. I think it is him but reasonable doubt does exist. Betty Logan ( talk) 14:18, 25 January 2019 (UTC) reply
  • The most recent IP (a Telecom Italia address) is definitely Carlo. This case really needs to be closed now. The jury is still out on Timmy but his account has gone dormant anyway so it's probably not really an issue anymore. Betty Logan ( talk) 18:00, 6 March 2019 (UTC) reply
