Comprehensive edits analysis of Shawntheshipper
On October 25, 2020, a young woman by the name of Rabiya Mateo won a beauty pageant named Miss Universe Philippines 2020. Little did she, or anyone else at the pageant, know that she would fall prey to a man who would subsequently edit and reedit her article by getting rid of every reliable source printed within, and subsequently replacing each source with, alternatively, a link to a blog website and a YouTube video about her posted by ABS-CBN, randomly removing her then-reported middle name of Sundall from the article, and then writing angrily to editors reverting his edits by projecting his behavior onto them, occasionally in all-caps, and then in turn reporting the Wikipedia administrators for vandalism based on their reversion of his edits.
That man was Shawntheshipper.
After her article became semi-protected, he proceeded to make another account: Ianpaulguerrero. This account did the same thing; both accounts have also been known to make similar edits to articles on other beauty pageants and contestants that are on them, all in countries ranging from Puerto Rico to Colombia to Australia. Once these and some twelve other sockpuppets of Shawntheshipper were blocked in the winter, all was quiet...
...until sometime in August 2021, when a user named Moltenality continually made edits to articles related to Pakistan by linking a hip-hop artist from that country named Ameer Ali Salman and got WikiLove there from CosbyCreates; both of these, and accounts that performed a similar function, proved to be accounts connected to Shawntheshipper.
More recently, a set of similar sockpuppet accounts have sprung up from the user, adding or editing articles on topics of interest to Bangladesh and India, such as Giir West, Dog Home Foundation (DHF), Sudhir Mehta (entrepreneur), Pinnacle Industries Limited, EKA Mobility, Dwayne N. Jackson, Md. Saidul Islam Rana, and Dholera Smart City, all but one of which have been deleted.
Some of his accounts over the years, such as Serene Reel, have been known to express outrage at the name of the President of the Philippines being referred to as Bongbong Marcos instead of Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.; this outrage echoes that of the kind Shawntheshipper expressed earlier toward his edits to the Rabiya Mateo article being reverted.
Habitual behavior
[edit]The user will harass any editor attempting to revert his desired edits, and will demand that said editors be blocked from editing Wikipedia either temporarily or permanently.
