Our friend, Kelownatopdog has returned once again to waste my time filing yet another report on his socking. As anyone familiar with the history of this militantly prolific sock puppeteer, he is obsessed with the article Indo-Canadian organized crime whose protected status expired earlier this month. This account edits the that article quite a bit and he has the same sort of brief, elliptical edit summaries associated with Kelownatopdog. See here [1] with the edit summary "no reference given for twins"; [2] with the edit summary "book says the ethnicity, not opinion stated. so i restored" and [3] with the edit summary "fix format". Compare with these edits by the sock puppet Watchthislilsuz with the following edit summaries [4] "Details untraceable in sources removed"; this edit to the article List of gangs in Canada [5] "alphabetically categorized indo" and this edit to Indo-Canadian organized crime [6] "Unsourced info removed and details corrected". Compare these edits with these edits by Jcooks77 (a sock puppet of Kelownatopdog [7] with the edit "summary lists made alphabetical" and [8] with the edit summary "Additional publicly sourced data added". And these edits by another of Kelwnatopdog's sock puppets HondurasToFlorida [9] with the edit summary "reverted content which was located in sources" and this edit [10] with the edit summary "removed unsourceable content".
In particular, this edit [11] proves that the account is Kelownatogdog. Notice the focus is on proving the "Punjabiness" of Indo-Canadian gangsters, which is very consistent with the prior history of Kelownatopdog. Notice in this edit, Hawktuah deez deleted this sentence under a misleading edit summary: "In a video made in June 2010, Dhak stated the swaggering, macho aggression of the gangsters hid a deep insecurity and fear as he stated that to live the life of a gangster was to live in fear, never knowing when someone would try to kill him and never knowing who to trust". Compare that with this edit [12] by the sock puppet Seemecoming were likewise deleted same sentence under a misleading edit summary. As for the IP from Toronto (the same city where Kelownatopdog always edits from as an IP), this edit [13] with the misleading edit summary "Alphabeticals organized" is definitely our friend. Compare that edit with this edit by another of Kelownatopdog's sockpuppets Jcooks77 [14] with the edit summary "lists made alphabetical" and this edit by the sock puppet PickNroll999 [15] with the edit summary "lists corrected alphabetically". It is clearly the same person. As for Little Carm, this editor has made one edit [16]. However, Kelownatopdog loves to edit the infoboxes for Canadian organized crime articles and this edit is very consistent with his editing style. See these edits by an IP identified as Kelownatopdog to the same infobox on the same article, here [17], this edit by one of his sockpuppets [18], and and this edit by another of his sockpuppets [19]. All these edits are to the infobox of the Red Scorpions. Thank you for your time. --A.S. Brown (talk) 06:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- As can be seen here [20], this IP has years of vandalism which have continued even since this report was made in July. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:F485:C373:DBEC:EA24 (talk) 06:48, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
