This may be stale - but the disruption here is massive - and I've just reverted changes on 100+ pages and flagged others as a hoax/dubious. All 3 users only edit Ghana related topics. Many or most of their edits are flagged with "minor" - despite not being so. The bulk of the edits attempt to promote the notion that Ashantiland or Ashanti city-state are an independent political entity and not part of Ghana. This includes changing cities, regions, universities, etc. so that they are in Ashantiland (with copious changes to assert this), changing other Ghana related pages to refer to the Ashanti (instead of Akan), and even creating new pages (some of existing companies/entities - e.g. an existing Bank in Ghana, some dubious (e.g. a small drone (maybe even 1-man) drone outfit which was trumped up as a UCAV manufacturer... Or a Ghanian gold coin) which are described as being entirely based in Ashantiland. Work also includes templates. It is really quite elaborate - and long lasting. Many of these vandalism actions (particularly new bogus pages, and changes to relatively obscure geographical/urban features (but a large amount of them)) - lasted more than year.

The pattern is quite evident on their respective contributions -

There are some pages that one user handed off to another (they operated for non-overlapping periods), but perhaps the most striking evidence is here -



This is a template for Ashanti - created by Flusus, which is then handed off to Boqino, and finally to Zopssin. The edits themselves - all add other edits of a similar Ashanti nature (Ashantiland, Ashanti city state, Kumasi megacity, changing Akan to Ashanti).

(I am not normally involved in Ghana related topics - I'm completely neutral regarding any Ashanti/Ghana independence movement - I got into this after another user opened an AFD for D'kaybee Drones which read to me as hoax (not because of Ashanti - though not recognizing Ashanti in the article also rang some bells) - which led to me to check the wider pattern here). Apologies if this report is not formatted properly - first one I've filed to SPI. Icewhiz (talk) 06:16, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
