The users above has identical editing habits, mostly editing in X in the Philippines articles. The suspected sock-puppeteer has been blocked indefinitely, while Yaysmay15 has been blocked by making edits against consensus by making "X in the Philippines" articles a summary of nationally-covered events, whether routine or non-notable (in violation of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTABLE) and refused to comment, explain their edits either through talk pages or edit summaries. TagaSanPedroAko has filed a AN3 for editwarring and they seem to have been blocked for 48 hours (at the time of this post, the case has not yet been formally closed). Then a new account by the name of Yays Falcunitin began doing identical edits, most possibly to evade a block. I wanted to assume good faith to Yaysmay 15 but the user name alone of the newest account, Yays Falcunitin gives a red flag.

Here Yaysmay15 continues to add non-notable events not related to Aquino's presidency, such as an incident where Vhong Navarro, a local celebrity getting mugged (which is nationally-covered, but still not related to Aquino's presidency or notable enough) similar to Vince daryl's edits.

I'm sure that I've come across that as a reason in the reviewing logs, there are a lot of timeline and list-of-dates pages which are PC-protected. But you're right about this use not being mentioned on the policy page, so I may be mistaken, or it may have changed since I was last involved in discussions about PC.

He added another stray bullet death in 2017 in the Philippines, which is not notable and WP:NOTNEWS and the procession on the Feast of the Black Nazarene in Manila, which is WP:ROUTINE as an annual event, and after being removed by consensus, he adds them back.

Duck IP of Yaysmay15. Same habit as the sock master, and targets 2017 in the Philippines, and also, in other articles. PatTag2659 reverted the IP's edits, but keeps on re-adding it for the second time, and if the IP reverts PatTag2659's removal of non-notable events for the third time, it is breaching 3RR. A half-year (6 month) semi-protection may be placed on 2017 in the Philippines, plus reverting of his edits after the page protection is added.

- Looking a little deeper and at the archive, the range is 112.198.64.0/18, and they've been disruptively editing Timeline of Philippine history pretty much non-stop since September. However, as before, this is a very active range and there is too much collateral damage to range-block.

Added mostly non-notable events on 2017 in the Philippines on after being semi-protected for three months. Others, like the renaming of Benham Rise to Philippine Rise, are helpful edits, but most of the IP's edits re-added sensationalist events and added other events that has no national importance.

- I've blocked 58.71.120.251 for 60 hours - the IP appears to be rapidly dynamic but its most recent edits over a couple days are clearly the LTA. It's been a while since I've looked at this case but as I recall they only edit the timeline articles; the events and "list of programs broadcast by" articles are new behaviour to me, unless I've just been out of the loop. As it stands I think the other IPs were the LTA back in October but have been reassigned to some other user, and as such I have taken no action on those.
- As for protecting the articles, precedent elsewhere suggests that any date-based lists subject to vandalism do well with pending changes enabled. I'm going to go ahead and enable this for all of the "<year> in the Phillipines" articles Yaysmay15 has been hitting today. For others I suggest making a report at WP:RFPP referring to this investigation page (or refer to the diff of this edit), or if you want to put in the work one of you could compile a list of frequent targets and make a proposal at WP:AN to enable pending changes for all of them. I would support it if the list is reasonably concise, but such a mass action should be presented for community approval. Sorry for the long closing note.

Yaysmay15 appears responsible for every edit made by this IP, going back to October 2020, but there was a year-long gap between October 2020 and October 2021, so let's go with 4 months for now. If they turn up on this IP again, the next block can be for considerably longer.
Awaiting administrative action: Please
block 58.71.120.29 with expiry 4 months (anon. only, account creation disabled).@

Pro forma report, to formalise a sockblock. Reported at AIV for disruption, a quick check showed that they were a returning block evading LTA, and they were promptly blocked as an obvious WP:DUCK by DatGuy. This was also the last IP address this master used (as recorded in the archive). No further action needed. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 11:05, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Based on the prior investigations concerning this editor ( refer to this archive), it seems that the behavior of the one who edits using this IP is similar to those reported already. Also, i observed that this non-WP editor is revising dates on templates/tags ( edit 1) ( edit 2), which, in my point, it should not be done in this important part of the page.

Similar edit summary, behavior (bloating non-notable events), targeted articles to LTA WP:YAYSMAY15 and related IPs such as 58.71.120.250. Had previously been blocked until February 2024 but with the recent blocking of 58.71.120.250 I believe that these 2 IPs are possibly connected with aforementioned LTA.

Similar behavior (Ongoing dumping and bloating of WP:UNDUE, non-notable events, mostly of limited significance and canned edit summaries), same target articles (historical timelines both in the Philippines and wider timelines).

The users above has identical editing habits, mostly editing in X in the Philippines articles. The suspected sock-puppeteer has been blocked indefinitely, while Yaysmay15 has been blocked by making edits against consensus by making "X in the Philippines" articles a summary of nationally-covered events, whether routine or non-notable (in violation of WP:NOTNEWS, WP:ROUTINE and WP:NOTABLE) and refused to comment, explain their edits either through talk pages or edit summaries. TagaSanPedroAko has filed a AN3 for editwarring and they seem to have been blocked for 48 hours (at the time of this post, the case has not yet been formally closed). Then a new account by the name of Yays Falcunitin began doing identical edits, most possibly to evade a block. I wanted to assume good faith to Yaysmay 15 but the user name alone of the newest account, Yays Falcunitin gives a red flag.

I was under the impression that use of PC was acceptable for sockpuppetry on frequently-edited or highly visible pages as an alternative to semiprotection so that good-faith new/unconfirmed users can still edit. I'm sure that I've come across that as a reason in the reviewing logs, there are a lot of timeline and list-of-dates pages which are PC-protected. But you're right about this use not being mentioned on the policy page, so I may be mistaken, or it may have changed since I was last involved in discussions about PC.

Seems to be a Yaysmay15 IP sock. He added another stray bullet death in 2017 in the Philippines, which is not notable and WP:NOTNEWS and the procession on the Feast of the Black Nazarene in Manila, which is WP:ROUTINE as an annual event, and after being removed by consensus, he adds them back.

Duck IP of Yaysmay15. Same habit as the sock master, and targets 2017 in the Philippines, and also, in other articles. PatTag2659 reverted the IP's edits, but keeps on re-adding it for the second time, and if the IP reverts PatTag2659's removal of non-notable events for the third time, it is breaching 3RR. A half-year (6 month) semi-protection may be placed on 2017 in the Philippines, plus reverting of his edits after the page protection is added. Also, please monitor for sleepers. - TagaSanPedroAko ( talk) 09:21, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

The IP I believe to have been used by the same user up to 20 April (and other IPs in the range 112.198.71.0/24, possibly larger) however this activity stopped on 20 April, and I don't have reason to believe that the Vic Sotto edit is the same user, so no action at this time.

- Looking a little deeper and at the archive, the range is 112.198.64.0/18, and they've been disruptively editing Timeline of Philippine history pretty much non-stop since September. However, as before, this is a very active range and there is too much collateral damage to range-block. Several of their favourite pages are already semiprotected, and I am semi-protecting Timeline of Philippine history for 3 months.

Added mostly non-notable events on 2017 in the Philippines on after being semi-protected for three months. Others, like the renaming of Benham Rise to Philippine Rise, are helpful edits, but most of the IP's edits re-added sensationalist events and added other events that has no national importance. IP is in the 122.53.231.xxx range (registered to PLDT) unlike the previous IP, that is in the 112.198.64.xxx range (registered to Globe). TagaSanPedroAko ( talk) 12:54, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Looks like a duck to me. Per this
LTA report for Yaysmay15, this IP is suspected to be used by that user. IP have edited the {{

- I've blocked 58.71.120.251 for 60 hours - the IP appears to be rapidly dynamic but its most recent edits over a couple days are clearly the LTA. It's been a while since I've looked at this case but as I recall they only edit the timeline articles; the events and "list of programs broadcast by" articles are new behaviour to me, unless I've just been out of the loop. As it stands I think the other IPs were the LTA back in October but have been reassigned to some other user, and as such I have taken no action on those.
- As for protecting the articles, precedent elsewhere suggests that any date-based lists subject to vandalism do well with pending changes enabled. I'm going to go ahead and enable this for all of the "<year> in the Phillipines" articles Yaysmay15 has been hitting today. For others I suggest making a report at WP:RFPP referring to this investigation page (or refer to the diff of this edit), or if you want to put in the work one of you could compile a list of frequent targets and make a proposal at WP:AN to enable pending changes for all of them. I would support it if the list is reasonably concise, but such a mass action should be presented for community approval. Sorry for the long closing note.

Looks like a duck to me based on the LTA's modus operandi of mass-addition of non-notable or trivial news events in the Philippines.

I just reverted edits that seemed to follow the patterns identified in Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Yaysmay15 at 2019 in the Philippines. I think this is the correct way to handle the situation but I have zero experience in both SPI and LTA. -- Trialpears ( talk) 22:31, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Trialpears, I just revertd more edits on the page you mentioned following the same pattern. It seems like some of the other edits the IP made that are current revison(as in current as of the time of writing this) follow the same pattern as well. I'm not confadent enough to revert those though. I would like a 2O. one edit in question is this edit. The summary seems simaler which is what is raising the flag for me.

- The IP user is indeed targeting the same articles and using the same edit summaries as the blocked master account. This is enough for me to apply a block to the IP.

- Behavior at
2022 in the Philippines seems broadly similar to what's described at the LTA page, and they're on the same /24 as the last Yaysmay15 IP recorded here, using the same ES style. Yaysmay15 appears responsible for every edit made by this IP, going back to October 2020, but there was a year-long gap between October 2020 and October 2021, so let's go with 4 months for now. If they turn up on this IP again, the next block can be for considerably longer.
Awaiting administrative action: Please
block 58.71.120.29 with expiry 4 months (anon. only, account creation disabled).@
FDW777: FYI, a filing like this will be actioned much quicker if you include diffs and/or a more specific list of similarities. --

Pro forma report, to formalise a sockblock. Reported at AIV for disruption, a quick check showed that they were a returning block evading LTA, and they were promptly blocked as an obvious WP:DUCK by DatGuy.

Based on the prior investigations concerning this editor ( refer to this archive), it seems that the behavior of the one who edits using this IP is similar to those reported already. Also, i observed that this non-WP editor is revising dates on templates/tags ( edit 1) ( edit 2), which, in my point, it should not be done in this important part of the page.

Similar edit summary, behavior (bloating non-notable events), targeted articles to LTA WP:YAYSMAY15 and related IPs such as 58.71.120.250. Had previously been blocked until February 2024 but with the recent blocking of 58.71.120.250 I believe that these 2 IPs are possibly connected with aforementioned LTA.

Similar behavior (Ongoing dumping and bloating of WP:UNDUE, non-notable events, mostly of limited significance and canned edit summaries), same target articles (historical timelines both in the Philippines and wider timelines).
