Habitual behavior

  • My Royal Young's disruptive behavior takes many forms, the most common of which include vandalizing articles on U.S. Navy ships and articles related to the Philippines, such as replacing the content of articles with "Spearton", "BLOBBLIBBBLOBBLIB", Osama Bin Laden's image (which has been blacklisted) or some other nonsense.
  • Engages in "good hand, bad hand" behavior, which means some of their socks contribute constructively to avoid detection (like reverting vandalism or adding content)
  • Created and vandalized this LTA page
  • Commonly impersonates several other LTAs including Supreme Genghis Khan, BMX on WheeIs and WhenDatHotlineBling
  • Engages in antisemitic/neo-Nazi vandalism
  • Harassment of people cleaning up their vandalism, including disruption at Meta. May also be seen at Tagalog, Cebuano, Hiligaynon and other Philippine language wikis
  • Sometimes posts unblock requests containing "revive me...", repetitive vandalism, or some abuse
  • Editing interests include birds and ships (see Special:CentralAuth/MoralesKapitan), and especially role-playing video games such as Fire Emblem
  • Circumvents the autoconfirmed restriction by making otherwise innocuous edits at the sandbox in order to pad out the account's edit count and thus gain autoconfirmed access, allowing sock accounts to vandalize even semi-protected pages.
  • This editor is likely the same person who has been running User:Randelearcilla-related socks since at least 2010 - see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Randelearcilla and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Randelearcilla. These accounts typically add false claims to articles on the military history of the Philippines. Frequent forms of vandalism include:
    • creating fantasy-style articles on battles which never took place or making up details on battles which did occur (both as stand-alone articles and sections inserted into articles on locations in the Philippines)
    • exaggerating the numbers of soldiers involved in various engagements
    • adding false claims that the Philippines military has used various types of weapons (historic and modern)
    • exaggerating the role and size of Filipino forces involved in the Philippines campaign (1944–1945) (for instance, by often claiming that large numbers of Filipino units were involved in battles, and the US Army units supported them - the opposite was usually the case in reality).
  • Pretending to be Barney B and typing in nonsense stuff on user talk pages and edit summaries like "any body can get on wiki and type liesssssss Bye Barney b".
  • Most recently, this user has been making inappropriate and/or disruptive usernames surrounding coronavirus or COVID-19 and threatening other users with coronavirus in unblock requests as well as vandalizing articles relating to the virus and/or the pandemic; such edits are covered under the general sanctions consensus regarding COVID-19-related articles and should be ECP-protected in those cases.
  • Trolls the users that they dislike by putting disruptive images on their talk pages.
