 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Evidence of potential sockpuppetry:


 * Chiromanruma has exclusively created and edited Babangida K. Ruma and Babangida Ruma (both deleted, so no access to diffs), which both had copyvio issues.
 * Rjibdutta has exclusively created and edited Babangida Kabir Ruma, which is clearly an article on the same subject. It also has copyvio issues, and the issues even stem from the same URL of ayaifoundation.wordpress.com/ayaif-founder-mal-babangida-ruma. See:
 * The user pages of and  have nearly identical layouts consisting only of the single article title they've created.
 * Potential motivation for utilizing a sockpuppet is Chiromanruma receiving numerous warning regarding his repeated removal of speedy deletion templates on Babangida Ruma (deleted, so no access to diffs). The most recent warning included reference to potential blocking for the first time. See the relevant section of his user talk page.

I haven't initially requested CheckUser because I think this looks fairly obvious, but feel free to use it if additional evidence is needed. ~ RobTalk 17:02, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:42, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Should this be filed under User:Babangidaruma and tagged accordingly?--Bbb23 (talk) 20:47, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * That account may be connected, but anyway, Chiromanruma is much older.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:51, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
 * At least one of us is on the ball. The three accounts are now appropriately tagged, but please double-check. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:57, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Evidence:
 * Dijesure has created Babangida Kabir Ruma, same as a previous sock. The page has the same contents and the same copyright violation. See (may be speedily deleted imminently).
 * Dijesure's user page follows the pattern of only listing his created article.
 * See previous investigation for more info. This is a clear duck. ~ RobTalk 02:16, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Recreating article for the same subject using different titles (Babangida Kabiru Ruma and Babangida Kabir Rumah). is stale but his user page is enough to include him here. GSS (talk |c|em ) 12:44, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Another creation Draft:Babangida Ruma with the same promotional material. From what I can tell this isn't identical to prior versions and I don't see any copyvios but it is a mashup of some of the old stuff. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  14:24, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Recreating variations of Babangida spam along with several others (listed). I realize some of these are rather old but including for accuracy. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  16:01, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

 * I agree...87 days, though it may be stale from the master, it's certainly not stale in general. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  01:47, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Both account are . Case closed.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:43, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Are you sure about that? Emanual1001's most recent edit was on 16 October. By my count, that would give us until 14 January to check to them. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:27, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't intend to say they are stale from technical point of view. I wanted to say that they will probably not edit again. All Emanual1001's edits were made in a span of few hours, three months ago. That is what we call a throw-away account.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  08:10, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that makes a lot more sense. Given that a two weeks ago didn't find Emanual, I don't think another check is going to turn up anything useful. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:34, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
