By looking at Salvation Ministries, Jack Nyong was blocked after attempting to add lots of text. Once blocked, RichieBest appeared and made the same repetitive edit. Once blocked, ConBase cropped up and is once again making the same edits.  Tuxipεdia ( talk ) 09:16, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * The user has employed the same use of capitalization, inserted the same list (and order) of TV and radio stations, inserted sections called "Educational Sector" and "Commission Books", etc. In other words, it's undoubtedly the same editor. —  Tuxipεdia ( talk ) 10:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Same two articles Salvation Ministries and David Ibiyeomie are the only ones edited by these editors. Esuongm created just after previous sock was blocked. Rossifichio has been restoring promotional copy and again has added the list of books and TV stations. Lyndaship (talk) 18:21, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

 * I think it looks fairly quacky. I guess it is not entirely beyond the realms of possibility that it is another person with the same tunnel vision but that seems unlikely and the editing would still be problematic. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:17, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

 * - Given the edits to David Ibiyeomie, Rossifichio looks like pretty clear sock to me. Please block them indefinitely. The other account has been inactive for over a year so no action is needed there. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:49, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * blocked indef as a sock, after I looked at the COIN report to be sure I understood the pattern of editing. EdJohnston (talk) 03:17, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Tagging and closing. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:09, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Similar edits to Rossifichio on Salvation Ministries see this and this and this. Seems like WP:DUCK to me. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 05:45, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

 * I have added User:Honourable Chuks to this case. I am pretty certain that this is the same person as Chukwunyere Boniface given the similarity of the name and of the the SPA/promotional edits to David Ibiyeomie. (I have requested semi-protection of the article too.) As for whether this is actually the same person as Jack Nyong, I am less able to say. They certainly seem to share the same problematic agenda of enthusiastically and uncritically promoting Ibiyeomie so whether it is sockpuppetry, meatpuppetry or a completely unrelated SPA/spammer it's bad whatever. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:46, 18 December 2021 (UTC)


 * To further link the two suspected sockpuppets (to eachother, although not necessarily to Jack Nyong), both have made a User sandbox page with a copy of their preferred version of the article:
 * User:Chukwunyere Boniface/sandbox
 * User:Honourable Chuks/sandbox
 * It seems very unlikely that both would do this one very specific thing if they were not the same person. I am not sure what the deletion criteria should be but I think those both need deleting to stop them being used to bring back the spam content.
 * As further proof of spamming/COI, it is worth looking at their contributions to the Commons:
 * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Chukwunyere_Boniface
 * I have nominated their images for deletion on the Commons.

 * Note: Chukwunyere Boniface has admitted to a serious Conflict of Interests on the Commons here. If this isn't sockpuppetry, which I still think that it is, then a block for that would be appropriate. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:08, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
