- Report submission by
-Freqsh0 (talk) 19:37, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Evidence
Note: This report is still somewhat of a work in progress. There is a lot to dig through and I'm spending way too long on this :)
It appears I've come across a massive campaign of sockpuppets, possibly with some meatpuppets, participating in a shameless, widespread self promotion campaign on wikipedia. There are several accounts and articles involved, and it's taken me quite some time to gather these notes, so please excuse if I haven't properly organized/formatted some things. I tried to make it as coherent as possible, let me know if something should be formatted differently. Also, I may have missed a few evidence links for some of the puppets, point out any that need further justification.
These accounts have all been associated with the promotion of an individual named Jose A Fadul, including creation of the original article, inserting references to this article throughout wikipedia, and referencing the individual, his work, or his personal websites. When one of these edits are challenged, another account always comes to the rescue. The editing patterns strongly indicate teamwork and knowledge of when edits are being made. I first became aware of this when trying to maintain the List of child prodigies article, when it appeared several users with a strange level of interest began revert warring against me, while I was genuinely trying to invite discussion on the articles talk page, which went ignored. When a bunch of redlink accounts posted on my talk page telling me I am making poor editing decisions, I decided to fully investigate. It should be noted that the user that created the Jose Fadul article is actually named User:Fadulj.
- A) User:CosmicAnthropologist appears to be a single use account only to revert a few of my edits that the others were also reverting, and back the others up. See his contribs.
- B) User:119.111.86.72 confirmed to be User:Bunsoy via 1. Appears he forgot to log in before replying on this talk page User talk:24.86.250.190. This user also expresses suspicions that User:Bunsoy is a Fadul sockpuppet. User:Bunsoy has copied these comments to his talk page User talk:Bunsoy.
- C) User:Bunsoy claims he asked "Dr. Fadul" to upload an image during a discussion on his talk page [[User talk::Bunsoy]]. This image was uploaded by User:MCLeander, later edited by User:FadulJoseA 1
- D) User:HuntingTarsier claims he knows Jose Fadul at Talk:List of child prodigies ( | article | history | links | watch | logs).1
- E) User:MCLeander claims he was Jose Fadul's teacher and knew Jose Fadul as a child. 1, 2,
- F) User:MCLeander, User:Bunsoy, User:119.111.86.75 (identified as User:Melayts via his comment in this SSP report below) revertwarring to try and include one of Jose Fadul's images in the Watercolor painting article. 1 Other editors discussing what appears to be spam activity on the talk page relating to Jose Fadul. Talk:Watercolor painting ( | article | history | links | watch | logs)
- G) User:Bunsoy, User:PFlores3, User:MCLeander conversing on Talk:Jose Fadul ( | article | history | links | watch | logs).
- H) User:Bunsoy Created talk page for Jose Fadul. Bunsoy claims to have gone to school with him. Talk:Jose Fadul ( | article | history | links | watch | logs)
- I) On User talk:Hunting dog#Watercolor_artwork_mixed_with_black_ink, User:Bunsoy is seen arguing for the legitimacy of an image that Hunting dog removed from Watercolor painting. Hunting dog kindly reminds Bunsoy that his editing activity suggests a strong interest in Jose Fadul, therefore he may not be in a position to decide on its inclusion.
- J) User:McLeander, User:Bunsoy, and User:202.57.48.71 backing each other up on asserting Jose Fadul's notability at User talk:75.22.19.205. MCLeander and Bunsoy's comments suggest a personal relationship.
- K) User:Bunsoy added a Fadul reference to Learning article: 1, and to Origins of chess - 2
- L) Origins of chess edited by User:Bunsoy, User:PFlores3, User:MCLeander, User:FadulJoseA. They have no history in this article and all show up in November 2008.
- M) User:MCLeander adds Jose Fadul to List of child prodigies - 1. User:Komby removes it shortly after. In response, User:PFlores3 posts on Komby's talk page, telling him to stop deleting important revisions - 2. User:PFlores3 re-adds it 3.
- N) Acquired Death Aversion Deficiency syndrome edited by User:Bunsoy, User:PFlores3, User:122.3.210.142 (confirmed to be User:FadulJoseA), User:MCLeander, User:119.111.86.72, User:119.111.86.73, User:119.111.86.74, User:119.111.86.75, User:202.57.47.98. This article describes a term invented by Jose Fadul, and was created by User:PFLores3. All of these puppets seem to know exactly when it was created, all editing it within 1 day.
- O) User:FadulJoseA forgets to log in when editing his userpage. User:122.3.210.142 makes the edit: 1
- P) User:Bunsoy added Jose Fadul reference to Jose Rizal: 1

- U) Contrary to User:Fadulj claiming that he is unrelated, he uploads an image created by Jose Fadul, seen on his gallery here 1, and says "I, Jose A Fadul created..." it. - 2.
- I didn't upload this artwork, though it is mine! Someone else keyed in "I, Jose A Fadul created ... " and not me! (Could it be that someone hacked my password or something?)
- V) User:Fadulj adds a link to Jose Fadul's artwork as an external link in Prometheus Bound: 1
- W) User:Fadulj Adds reference to Jose Fadul in Dolores Hernandez Lecture Series: 1
- X) User:JDGloria creates Dolores Hernandez Lecture Series, which is edited almost exclusively by him, User:Fadulj, User:122.3.216.210, User:202.175.207.2, User:202.175.207.2. Includes a reference to Jose Fadul. The puppets seem to know immediately when it was created, and all begin editing within the first 2 or 3 days.
- Y) User:JDGloria comments on previous Jose Fadul notability discussion on CambridgeBayWeather's talk page, backing up User:Pflores3 and User:MCLeander. 1
- Z) User:122.3.216.210 only edits Jose Fadul, Dolores Hernandez Lecture Series, International Journal of Learning
- AA) User:122.3.221.63 only edits International Journal of Learning and requests bio article for Milagros D. Ibe - 1
- AB) Milagros D. Ibe is created by User:Bunsoy. Her article includes several references to Jose Fadul and related sockpuppet articles, including an external link to a portrait of her created by Jose Fadul. Article is edited by puppets User:Fadulj, User:122.3.212.89, User:202.57.48.69, User:202.57.48.70, User:202.57.48.71, User:202.57.48.72, User:202.57.48.73, User:119.111.86.73, User:119.111.86.75, User:122.3.213.34, User:FadulJoseA, User:HuntingTarsier. Again, puppets appear to know when article was created, and all edit immediately.
- AC) Milagros D. Ibe is tagged speedy delete, User:Fadulj responds saying that she is notable in the phillipines - 1. Also note that Jose Fadul has a painting of her on his personal site 2.
- AD) User:Melayts creates International Journal of Learning, sockpuppets User:122.3.216.210, User:Fadulj, User:MCLeander, User:122.3.216.241 begin editing shortly after, suggesting knowledge of when it was created. Article references Jose Fadul.
- AE) User:Melayts edits other puppet-targeted articles including Jose Fadul, and adds Jose Fadul reference to Manila Science High School, and List of educational psychologists - 1.
- AF) User:Fadulj again states he is Jose A Fadul in image copyright: 1. This image is in International Journal of Learning, created/edited by the other puppets.
- AG) User:Fadulj adds Jose Fadul reference to Limbic system article. 1
- AH) User:Fadulj uploads an image of Jose Fadul, pretending he is not him. He still names the image Fadulj.jpg however. He claims he took it from Jose Fadul's website and cropped it. 1
- AI) User:Fadulj requests an article on himself. 1
- AJ) User:Fadulj adds reference to self-created International Journal of Learning article in existing Educational psychology article.
- AK) User:Fadulj creates Pagtatawas article, which consits of Jose Fadul work. Edited exclusively and immediately by puppets User:122.3.222.32, User:122.3.218.108, User:122.3.219.57, and User:MCLeander
- AL) Usog article, untouched for years, is suddenly mass edited by all the puppets to add Jose Fadul references. Puppets include User:Fadulj, User:MCLeander, User:FadulJoseA, User:202.57.47.98, User:122.3.222.32, User:122.3.209.73
- AM) User:FadulJoseA uploads chess photo: 1, included in Chess as mental training. Like others, puppets all show up to this article at the same timeframe, including User:FadulJoseA, User:PFlores3, User:MCLeander, User:122.3.210.142, User:119.111.86.73.
- AN) User:122.3.210.142 (Confirmed to be User:FadulJoseA edits MCLeander's image at 1. This image appears in the Chess as mental training article.
- AO) User:FadulJoseA adds a reference to his own book in List of chess books, 1
- AP) User:MCLeander added external link to a painting by Jose Fadul to the Cockfight article. 1
- AQ) Storefront page for Jose Fadul's lulu books includes his contact info. His email address is listed as fadulj@dls-csb.edu.ph, same username as User:Fadulj who claims to not be him. http://stores.lu lu.com/fadulj (remove space - url is blacklisted for spam).
- AR) User:Fadulj creates Nakaluluwag, which references Jose Fadul. Puppets that immediately edit are User:FadulJoseA, User:119.111.86.72, User:122.3.213.138, User:119.111.86.74, User:119.111.86.75, User:202.57.48.72, User:202.57.48.71, User:202.57.48.69, User:202.57.48.70, User:202.57.47.98
- AS) User:fadulj avoids a WP:COI accusation by saying he is an American from San Diego, of Lebanese descent, vacationing in the Philippines. 1. While vacationing he claims to have found a namesake and created an article. This is obviously a very poor lie - all of his contribs are either specific to Jose Fadul, inserting references to Jose Fadul, or specific to Filipino culture. Some examples to show that he is obviously Filipino, besides his whole contrib history, are 2, 3, 4, 5
- AT) User:Fadulj claiming to be a Filipino historian here: 1
- AU) 5 of them try to team up on my talk page to speak out against my removal of Jose Fadul from List of child prodigies. 1 - Also note that 3 of them make the same mistake of forgetting to put a space between the last period and their signature.

I am Hunting Tarsier. I am a Filipino, a civil engineer by profession. I am not a sockpuppet of Dr.Jose Fadul although we happened to have graduated in the same high school and university. HuntingTarsier (talk) 03:04, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is User: "Cosmic Anthropologist" and I am not a sock puppet of Jose Fadul either. I am using one of the computer terminals of College of Saint Benilde, that is why I may be registering the same IP address as the other Wikipedia users and editors. I am responding to the serious accusation of sock puppetry. CosmicAnthropologist (talk) 03:33, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is User:FadulJoseA who is the same Jose Fadul in the Wikipedia article. I am not User:Fadulj who mentioned that he is an American of Lebanese descent and happened to have the same name as I have, down to the middle initial. (My middle name is "Arabe", he did not mention his.) User:Fadulj mentioned that he was the one who created the article about myself which is fairly accurate, in fairness to him and the rest. I have not touched that article for obvious reasons. But now, since it has led to a commotion and serious suspicion of sockpuppeteering I would like to have it deleted. To all those who seem to be "a little obsessed with me" including my former schoolmates and students and whom I remember to be my teacher some thirty years ago, please do not undelete it. FadulJoseA (talk) 04:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe points U, AF, AH, AS, and AT prove otherwise. Aside from these specific points, the fact that you both work on all of the same articles around the same time, and seem to have the same depth of knowledge on yourself, proves otherwise. Furthermore, you are seen promoting yourself, or editing articles that promote you, with this User:FadulJoseA account in several examples listed above. It's also interesting you knew he is an american of lebanese descent, when his statement to that only appears on other users talk pages, and never on an article you have edited. It is also strange that someone supposedly knowing all details about you, extremely obsessed with you, edits many articles with you yet you have never written on each other's talk pages. -Freqsh0 (talk) 14:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't own a computer. I have been using the computers in school, and in the nearby Cafe for internet access. I'm sorry if you have the impression that I am a sockpuppet. I am not. Neither would I employ one. Some people are just uncontrollable, and please believe me, I'm trying to contain the matter. FadulJoseA (talk) 04:28, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for all the troubles that I may have caused Dr.Fadul and the rest. I am not a sock puppet of Dr.Fadul. And I don't think he is a sock puppeteer not engage in sock puppetry.
Joe, I'm so sorry. I respect your decision but rest assured that you'll always be remembered by me and by all those whose hearts you have touched and inspired.MCLeander (talk) 00:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't buy this charade either, though even that would be a longstanding, blatant abuse of wikipedia. It's guaranteed that at least some of you are sockpuppets, but I have more fairly compelling evidence that all of you are, which I'll post later on when I get time. In the mean time, I suggest you stop using your puppet army to try and create the illusion of consensus against other editors who, unlike yourself, are attempting to abide by wikipedia standards and maintain articles, and stop sneaking references to Jose Fadul and his websites in other articles. -Freqsh0 (talk) 03:13, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm Pedro Flores III. I was Fadul's classmate and much later, one of his students. That doesn't make me a sockpuppet, does it?PFlores3 (talk) 04:05, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
