JARCILLA

Suspected sockpuppets

[edit]

This is a long-term abuse case going back to September 2018. The first disruption was from Southern California IPs, with unreferenced stuff and genre-warring at the Chicago band article. The result was Special:Contributions/2606:6000:6602:AD00:0:0:0:0/64 getting blocked, along with Special:Contributions/76.171.112.116. Soon after the JARCILLA username was registered, a report was filed at ANI in December 2018: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive998#Chicago band genre warrior from Lakewood. The problem was genre-warring such as this, adding too many genres—all unreferenced. JARCILLA was indeffed and the associated IP range was blocked again for longer.

A year later, the username JoshuaArcilla2 was registered, immediately returning to the Chicago band article to edit-war over who was a current or past band member. JoshuaArcilla2 began to focus on Hillsong Worship topics in early 2020. In December 2020, the IP6 range Special:Contributions/2603:8000:9640:A7:0:0:0:0/64 joined in edit-warring at Hillsong Worship articles. After creating multiple articles about Hillsong Worship topics, many of which were deleted, JoshuaArcilla2 was indeffed in August 2021. The IP range Special:Contributions/2603:8000:9640:A7:0:0:0:0/64 had been edit-warring in concert with JoshuaArcilla2,[1][2] but it was not blocked. The involved IP6 range Special:Contributions/2605:E000:1524:CAF:0:0:0:0/64 was blocked for two years.

JoshuaArcilla3 registered the username a week ago. The new user with an obvious name connection continued the interest in Hillsong Worship topics, adding unreferenced genres to the Bella Taylor Smith biography.[3] They created a new song article, "Hope of the Ages", related to Hillsong Worship.

Checkuser requested to root out sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 00:12, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User JoshuaArcilla5 edits in the same manner and on the same topics as previously blocked users JoshuaArcilla2, JoshuaArcilla4, and JARCILLA. Compare edit by JoshuaArcilla5 (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chicago_XXXVIII&diff=1082189831&oldid=1082188276) with edit by JoshArcilla2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Chicago_XXXVI:_Now&diff=prev&oldid=976655212) AbleGus (talk) 05:27, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious username connection to blocked socks JoshuaArcilla2, JoshuaArcilla3, JoshuaArcilla4 and JoshuaArcilla5. JoshuaArcilla6 went immediately to the Chicago band page which is a frequent target of interest. Southern California IP 207.233.69.118 edited frequent targets Hillsong Worship, Chicago (band) and added a redlinked Australian band called Able.[4] The same Able band entry was re-added by JoshuaArcilla5[5] and then tweaked by JoshuaArcilla6.[6]

Checkuser unnecessary because the case is obvious. Binksternet (talk) 17:14, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The username shows another obvious sock, editing the familiar Chicago band topic. Past sockpuppet focus included the upcoming Chicago XXXVIII album,[9][10] which was announced recently. Now that the album is finally here, new sock JoshuaArcilla716 works to create the article and link to it.[11][12]

It's not critical to proving this case, but checkuser will work for a couple more days on the most recent sock, before it goes stale. CU would help to root out sleepers. Binksternet (talk) 03:44, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious sock with name style and behavior. Previous sock brought a redirect into an article,[13] followed by JoshuaArcilla7816 expanding.[14] Previous and current sock have a shared interest in labeling a Korn bandmember as "past".[15][16]

No need for checkuser—simple case. Binksternet (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Super obvious username pattern. JoshuaArcilla2000 followed 207.233.69.107 and 2603:8000:9603:B4CD:x IPs in adding the same incoherent edit request.[17][18][19][20] The IP range Special:Contributions/2603:8000:9603:B4CD:0:0:0:0/64 has repeated edits by JARCILLA socks,[21][22] showing that it is connected to the case.

Super obvious case, no need for CU. Username is similar to other socks. Special:Contributions/2603:8000:9603:B4CD:0:0:0:0/64 has been blocked before. Binksternet (talk) 00:39, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious naming scheme similarity, especiall JoshuaArcilla716 blocked last year. Same interest in band membership of the Eagles and Chicago.[25][26] Binksternet (talk) 15:07, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Super obvious case, no need for checkuser. Same name style as previous socks. Same interest in the band members of Chicago, especially Walter Parazaider.[27][28] Binksternet (talk) 03:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
