May be acting as a 2nd weapon on an edit war I am trying to break up on The Zombie Diaries. Requesting CU as well since the owner may be the other person involved. Island Monkey talk the talk 09:54, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This edit by Filfan1964 hardly seems supportive of Bradswanson...can you connect the dots a bit better? It feels like a fishing expedition to me at this point. I'm always a little leery of those...not that fishing isn't sometimes productive.  Frank  |  talk  00:13, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry. After some research, I found that:
  1. Filmfan1964 is the sockpuppeteer.
  2. Filmfan's sock is called Landmonkey.

  •  Clerk endorsed - I mean, it's clear that they're both on the same side, in that they're both here with the same purpose, i.e. to add their zombie film to the EOS 7D article. But whether they're the same or just friends (e.g. friends; worked on the film together) is unclear. I'll endorse to figure that out. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 20:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Inconclusive – One is on a mobile phone, while the other is on a regular ISP altogether. –MuZemike 22:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User is editing The Zombie Diaries again, adding the same false info. It appears that this user only wants to just edit war with Bradswanson2010. Island Monkey talk the talk 18:29, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DUCK - same sort of behaviour as master on World of the Dead: The Zombie Diaries --Mdann52talk to me! 08:17, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why this ended up here.... The user in question was User:Bradswanson2010, which redirects here. --Mdann52talk to me! 08:19, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Checkuser comments: There's nothing useful for either Filmfan1964 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki) or Bradswanson2010 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki) to compare to, and I'm not sure I understand why the Bradswanson2010 SPI was redirected here, because the edits between Bradwanson and Filmfan aren't similar at all and the two accounts were actually in dispute when Filmfan1964 was blocked. While the editing by Xmaslove1900 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki) may well be inappropriate, that can be dealt with on a user-specific basis.

Request to clerk: Please split this SPI up by undoing the redirect and putting this request with Bradswanson2010 (it's not unreasonable to think they may be related), but there's no basis to link either of these accounts to Filmfan1964. Please also pull out the linkage to Gwenlen (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log· investigate · cuwiki) in the archives, as it has no relationship to either Bradswanson2010 or Filmfan1964.

  • The repeated disruption to the same article suggests that it's a sock of Bradswanson2010. I've blocked the account based upon the behavioral evidence. Mike VTalk 05:46, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
