 * The original account created several articles (under various titles) about a Ghanaian rapper called Young So and his various songs. The article was deleted yesterday, after an AfD discussion at Articles for deletion/Young So GH. The account was subsequently blocked.
 * User:Newsdorm recreated the article, which is essentially identical to the previous version; that is an account that has existed for a couple of weeks so it was not created after the original account was blocked, but the fact that the article looks just the same is pretty blatant.
 * User:Workyounso1234 was created today and has only edited the new Young So article and its talk page.
 * User:Freshgirl456 and User:Lovely90123 have one or two edits each, to the article talk page, where the various accounts appear to believe that there is a deletion discussion going on.
 * As for User:Kofikwame, they made a "keep" !vote to the AfD, and the sock master changed the signature to their own: . Also cf and . bonadea contributions talk 16:44, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

 * - All interested solely in Young So.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  00:32, 16 May 2015 (UTC)





This case should probably be merged to Sockpuppet investigations/DaWn ODG, as Kofikwame is an exact match for Try1234. Mike V • Talk 15:56, 16 May 2015 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  19:33, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Like many previous sockpuppets, this account has edited articles about various Ghanaian rappers and, more importantly, has recreated an article about rapper Young So, previously deleted in an AfD discussion, in the form of a draft (Draft:YoungSo). and recreated multiple times, see histories for Young So, Young So GH, Young So discography. The draft is not identical to the AfD-ed version but it has the same notability issues, and there are some near-identical parts: the deleted version (per this archived version) said under "Influences" that he really displayed his love for kwaw kese when Kwaw kese was arested for smoking in public and realese a track titled "Free Kwaw" all to show that he really like Kwaw kese., and in the current draft it says ''He really displayed his love for kwaw kese when by writing articles when Kwaw Kese was in the Ghana Police Custody. He also released a track titled "Free Kwaw" all to show that he really like Kwaw kese.''

The user name is also an indication - according to the current draft article, YSM is an abbreviation for "Young So Music" and several previous socks have user names including the name Young So. bonadea contributions talk 12:58, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

 * - Is there some data from May left to compare him with?  Vanjagenije   (talk)  20:05, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * While you're waiting for a response from Mike, I've blocked the account based on behavior.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:47, 21 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Digging through the checkuser logs shows that it's solely on the limited technical data available. I also found unsurprisingly that  is ✅ to Ysmboss. Mike V • Talk 00:16, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

[Kofiguy233] appears to have been registered for the express purpose of recreating the article on Dawn ODG. (See Draft:Dawn ODG, comment 1, comment 2. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:27, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm also adding Gadossey233, based mostly on the username. Normally, I'd chalk having the same three numbers at the end of the username up to coincidence, except that Gadossey is Dawn ODG's real name (assuming the draft is accurate). The only edits from this account have been to Joey B, a subject of interest to the other sock in this investigation. Sir Sputnik (talk) 01:48, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

This editor shares recent sock's interest in Joey B. Particularly telling is their creation of articles on Joey B singles The Dawn and Sunshine, given that the only other Joey B single to have had an article, U x Me, was created by. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
