 * ChuksJD was engaging in pretty obvious self-promotion at Dandy Jackson Chukwudi, despite lying about it and claiming that his name, ChuksJD was just a coincidence, and that his real name was in fact Chukwuma Jaatochukwu Dennis.
 * Dandy Jackson Chukwudi is alleged to have created the website/app InstaNovella, which ChuksJD was also trying to promote. We can see many instances of these edits in their deleted history, and at Draft:InstaNovella.
 * ChuksJD was indeffed for advertising/promotion on 11 November.
 * Suddenly, brand-new editor Solomon Kelvin appears and pushes forward on the InstaNovella draft article, before deciding eff-it, let's create it in live space. That, to me, seems like a deliberate effort to evade scrutiny. (Didn't work.)

Seems fairly ducky, but given that ChuksJD had another account, ChuksJD2, (which he *did* disclose) and that he is engaging in undisclosed paid editing/COI editing and seems to know how to create multiple accounts, I'm hoping we will be able to spot others.

 * There is at least 1 more account that's already been blocked as a sock puppet of ChucksJD, User:AwesomeStitches. Since these accounts are being used for cross wiki spam (e.g. this on the simple English wiki ) is it worth asking for global locks and/or adding InstaNovella.com to the global spam blacklist? 192.76.8.81 (talk) 00:58, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Moved to oldest. The block on Harun Zaria was because they were suspected in that other SPI but my feel was that they were a different UPE (and now we see that they are!). Socks tagged. The website they're all adding isn't bad enough yet to blacklist, but I've got COIBot keeping an eye on it. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:44, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * For future reference, the sheer amount of spam and promotion out of the relevant range is pretty much the worst I have ever seen as a Checkuser, but it can't be locked down further without essentially blocking an entire country's access to Wikipedia. Bottom line: expect more of the same from these accounts and feel free to be liberal with the blocks.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:45, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
