SPAs which are only interested in promoting an organisation called CFC Youth for Christ. They have inserted references to the organisation into various articles and also created an article about it, many times under different names. Deleted versions of the article include CFC-Youth for Christ, CFC Youth for Christ, CFC - Youth for Christ, and CFC – Youth for Christ. (I get a little lost among the dashes, so I may have missed a version or two...) Another article was Liveloud, about a concert arranged by the organisation; two of the suspected socks are apparently named after that event. is already blocked for disruptive editing, but is included here for the sake of completeness. was actually created by Johnathan Osorio. Liveloud has not edited (at least not as far as I can see) but the other three accounts have all created versions of the YFC article within the last couple of weeks. bonadea contributions talk 18:29, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Yet another attempt to create a Youth For Christ article Draft:CFC Youth for Christ. There was another attempt yesterday (for the NZ version) but it was dealt with without hitting this SPI. Perhaps not a coincidence he had to have admin assistance since his IP was blocked ? Meters (talk) 19:37, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Yesterday's was User:Youth for Christ New Zealand, already blocked as a sock of Johnathan Osorio. Meters (talk) 19:58, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I can't see the deleted versions, but from what I remember this appears to be the same text as was created by the previous socks. Meters (talk) 20:11, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Clearly either the same person or (much less likely) another one acting with the previous editor(s) to evade the blocks, so I have blocked the account. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

New user whose edits have involved creating a bunch of redirects to Couples for Christ, as well as recreating the CFC Youth for Christ article, as Youth for Christ (CFC-Youth International) (and some redirects to that one as well). It looks very much like a WP:DUCK. bonadea contributions talk 12:16, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks enough like a duck that I've blocked that user. —C.Fred (talk) 15:02, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Once again a couple of SPAs (with a tiny number of seemingly random edits to other articles) focused on CFC and its various organisations and commercial ventures. Jake Walls has created Draft:Ablaze Music about a record company owned by CFC, and Jeremiahbest has also edited that draft, in addition to Draft:Catholic Youth Organization (Classification) which was apparently created only in order to insert CFC Youth for Christ. Jeremiahbest also added categories to the CFC-YFC page (which is a redirect following the many sock recreations) ; rather a sophisticated thing for a brand new account to do... Both accounts have also edited Catholic youth work, where an IP editor using a few closely related IPs had restored the text about CFC-YFC that previous socks also added, and these two new users have tweaked and padded that text. (I am not reporting the IPs since it's been ten days since they edited, and I'm sure the user has moved to new IPs since).

There are some stylistic details as well which I don't want to mention for WP:BEANS reasons, but I can of course provide that info if the above is not sufficient for a CU. bonadea contributions talk 19:56, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Adding CFC-Youth for Christ to Catholic youth work again (with spammy sources that didn't support the info, but only promoted YFC), and Wikilinking Liveloud from Mall of Asia Arena. Both articles have seen a lot of activity from Johnathan Osorio socks. The range of this IP also tallies with previous obvious socks adding YFC spam to the Catholic youth work article,,. bonadea contributions talk 18:40, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

 * No, Not a Sockpuppet. And why its a big deal for you to report again and again if theres any edits about YFC? Maybe he's just trying to edit for the first time. Lots of newbies made that same mistakes of creating multiple accounts at the same computer when (for example) they forgot a password.
