Basic information[edit]
Christian2941 (talk · contribs · block log · arb · SPI confirmed suspected)
Comprehensive edits analysis
Christian2941 is known for targeting articles related to Philippine showbiz, and would create sockpuppet accounts with a recurring naming pattern.
Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]
Usually articles on Filipino TV channels or celebrities, occasionally may vandalise other things.
- Dolphy
- Mara Clara
- SkyCable
- Shaina Magdayao
- Any show produced by ABS-CBN
- Any ABS-CBN contracted artists
- etc.
Habitual behavior[edit]
- Usually introduces factual errors, i.e. in the 2010 Mara Clara remake wherein he inserted wikilinks to Kim Chiu and Maja Salvador despite the fact that the latter two actresses weren't cast in the series at all.
- Any username like Southern Wear XYZ (where XYZ is almost always a three-digit number) are socks of this sockmaster. As of 2015 Christian appears to have done away with using the "Southern Wear" moniker, and would instead name his sockpuppets after teleseryes, various other Philippine television programmes or local celebrities, and appends the suffix -TV and/or (ABS-CBN) to it, like AnnalizaTV, My Little Juan TV or May Isang Pangarap TV, or in some cases the current year, (PBBAllin2014), the year a randomly-chosen Filipino celebrity was born (Liza Soberano 1998), the aforementioned programmes, like Janella Salvador Oh My G!, or a variation thereof (IndayBoteABSCBNTV2015). Most recent socks as of 2019 have no suffixes. Instead, the TV show's title is used. Example: Between Maybes.
- Changes the birth date of Filipino celebrities, making them seem older or younger.
- Always uses the "start-end" date template in editing dates of Filipino shows.
- Deliberately inserting incorrect information and wrong channel numbers on SkyCable, Global Destiny Cable, StarHub TV, etc.
- There has also been occasions where, for some strange reason, Christian would copy-paste content from pages to a different article, or to his user/talk pages, such as in the case of when he pasted BLP infoboxes taken from articles about notable Filipino celebrities. He has also been seen appending bizarre "codes" into articles consisting of random numbers wrapped in <code></code> tags. What's even more bizarre is when he would admit to be making further sockpuppets by tagging his own newly-created accounts with the sock tag.
