Ianpaulguerrero account was created during a week long block of Shawntheshipper. Both have used all caps summaries with exclamation marks while editing Rabiya Sundall Mateo.[1][2] They both appear to be primarily focused on beauty pageants and regularly misuse the minor edit tag.[3][4]. Both accounts reached out to users in regards to the same IP editor.[5][6] Greyjoy talk 07:39, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- Jasper Santiago Caygill using Unsourced information on Rabiya Sundall Mateo & using the same unreliable source as Shawntheshipper & Ianpaulguerrero used. 3 of them are both using PEP.PH Blogger site that was written based on ABS-CBN youtube video(that was already deleted cause it's not legitimate) as their edit reference on Rabiya_Sundall_Mateo, here's the proofs >>>1 (Jasper Santiago Caygill edit using ABS-CBN unreliable youtube video), 2 (Jasper Santiago Caygill edit using PEP.PH), 3 (Shawntheshipper using PEP.PH), 4 (Ianpaulguerrero using PEP.PH) & 5 (Shawntheshipper & Ianpaulguerrero are talking about PEP.PH Blogger site & ABS-CBN unreliable youtube video that used multiple time for editing Rabiya_Sundall_Mateo).

- Responding to I Nyoman Gede Anila's comment of 23:46, 15 November 2020 (UTC) above: Hello, Nyoman. Get your facts straight please. You said that I am damaging and editing Rabiya Mateo's article here in Wikipedia. No, I am not. In fact, I never edited a single thing on her article. Please check the editing history of her article first before saying such thing. And you mentioned that i focused on her birthdate rather than more important things. Well, birthdate is very important in biography and articles such as Rabiya Mateo because Wikipedia has a lot of readers and wide audience so this must be handled immediately to avoid confusion and wrong details about her, we must fix it according to facts and reliable sources as i suggested few hours ago such as Inquirer.net, GMA News, ABS-CBN News, Panay News, and so forth. Please read these articles first to prove some editors that what I am saying is a fact. Actually, there is also an article supporting about her birthday which was published by Manila Bulletin. Please think first before performing such actions here. Thank you very much. CCstrong (talk)[reply]

- Wikiindiawikiindia looks like they're most likely unrelated - they're in a different (but nearby) country. I will block and tag the confirmed socks. Girth Summit (blether) 06:12, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, GS. Moved section to WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Shawntheshipper (I don't think Shawn is a stripper).

So sorry I can't make this more complete but I just put these notes at COIN linking this sockfarm to thamesinfotech.com. You might want to check out User:Thamesinfotech and the related deleted articles esp. Thames Infotech/Draft:Thames Infotech. The Simple English wiki might have more clues, I think it was created there as well.
One final note: they seem to slip between fluencies, e.g. there is Telugu/English code switching added by the master on its talkpage as a going-away present, but other indications by the sockfarm generally are Pakistan (possible but unlikely to be both). ☆ Bri (talk) 08:01, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Hmmm. I looked at this a bit more. The CU data we've got logged sure makes them look confirmed to each other, but I don't see any actual editing overlap, so I'm not sure what to do there. I guess just leave it like it is, or maybe somebody wants to dig into the edit histories to see if they can find similarities that I missed on my quick perusal. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:27, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- I've merged WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Shawntheshipper with this case. Before I close this I'd like to make some remarks about the Shawntheshipper case. The Shawntheshipper account mainly edited Philippines beauty pageant articles. In 2020 they were blocked for socking with Ianpaulguerrero, Tayzarswifsson, XPD154Raven and Greenzircon. These accounts also had an interest in beauty pageants. In 2021 Shawntheshipper was confirmed to Moltenality, CosbyCreates, and various other UPE socks that seem to be based in Pakistan. These accounts have no behavioural similarities to previous socks. I'm having trouble finding it, but I recall Dreamy Jazz saying at one point that the Shawntheshipper account appeared to be compromised. So, I believe that Shawntheshipper and the socks that were blocked in 2020 were operated by a different person than the one we're blocking now, and that they just happened to have been compromised by a UPE sockfarm. I have tagged these as socks of Alizulfikarzahedi given the technical data, but this is something to keep in mind while evaluating behaviour. There is apparently a LTA page, WP:Long-term abuse/Shawntheshipper, based on the misconception that the beauty pageant editor and the spammer are the same person. It's also terrible for many other reasons and should probably be deleted. Anyway - closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 20:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Spicy you are right. CU data (which is stored at CU wiki) has several failed and successful login attempts. The successful login to Shawntheshipper was surrounded by many failed login attempts to locked accounts that were locked for being compromised. Before these attempts, successful attempts were made on Hausnico (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) and Kishchukk (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki).
