Possible upe sock farm, I moved an article created by the suspected sock master to draftspace see here, the suspected sock master queries this move see here then after the suspected sock copy pastes and recreates the article to mainspace see here. I believe this to be sock puppetry or off wiki coordinated meat puppetry. Celestina007 (talk) 20:48, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - looks like a WP:DUCK to me. Look at the history of Adesegun Adeosun Jr and SMADE. Sock should be sanctioned for block evasion as well. Also see User:Franknaija1999/Northboi and Draft:Northboi. Is it just me or are these identical despite being written by supposedly different editors?

Honestly, I don't know anything about the original author that was banned, I was coincidentally editing it to get a barnster, I came across the author and went to his talk page and start contributing,I thought lifting the page to re-edit will help,even the pictures I uploaded I searched it up on Instagram and created a wikimedia commons to upload it, because I think that's what will sort it,I'm just a novice and getting to get use of Wikipedia,the above subject according to Wikipedia guidelines passed notability so as others I was trying to assist on,I'm also looking for who to adopt me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Franknaija1999 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * How did you stumble across this other user? You both overlap on very obscure (and possibly non-notable) figures. It seems a bit implausible that that it is purely coincidental. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 22:58, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Most of what I can see in the editing history is consistent with the claim by to be just an inexperienced editor who came across Deplug1's editing and tried to help out. The one thing that I have seen which is not so easy to fit into that account, however, is the connection between Adesegun Adeosun Jr and SMADE, because there Franknaija1999 produced writing with a striking similarity to that in a page which had already been deleted. However, perhaps Franknaija1999 can give a satisfactory explanation of that. If so, I shall be happy to take it into consideration. JBW (talk) 22:04, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @, believe you me when I tell you this is off wiki meat puppetry, I believe this works are being contracted out. The explanation is very much improbable. Their explanation they coincidentally stumbled on the article is way too convenient. For example look at the TP of the suspected sock master see here and see the TP of the master sock see here you’d notice they both tried to move an SMADE(as you noted) a dubious article of dubious notability into mainspace is this also a coincidence? JBW if this isn’t socking then this is meat puppetry. Celestina007 (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Quite . . No additional accounts immediately visible, but that's not saying much in this area. ST47 (talk) 07:20, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

This account was created today and is borderline WP:DUCK simply because of Draft:Adesegun Adeosun Jr. The account looks to have been created just after both of the above accounts were blocked indefinitely. Please also block this one if proven to be another sock. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 15:21, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment - does this new Draft:Adesegun Adeosun Jr look the same as the SMADE articles to you?  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 15:22, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @, yes Spiderone, Infact the article expressly says Draft:Adesegun Adeosun Jr (the subject) is one and the same person as SMADE, this is one giant sock farm. Celestina007 (talk) 16:10, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
