Obvious similarity in name, with last name of "onochie". Editing at Cartoon Network (EMEA). Kosi was blocked for repeated disruptive editing at this article, including a spate of inappropriate article moves. 41.203.69.11 geolocates to Nigeria, ISP: Cobranet Limited. 80.89.182.243 geolocates to Nigeria, ISP: Cobranet Limited.

 * I've blocked but left the IPs. 41.203.69.11 appears to be a shared IP based on the edits and it is has been a few days since they edited Cartoon Network (EMEA) and 80.89.182.243 hasn't edited since May 22nd. Please re-report them if they begin to edit disruptively again. Thanks,  Tiptoety  talk 07:29, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

As with Kosi Onochie, Mummy Onochie has been adding articles on foreign versions of the Cartoon Network and Boomerang cable channels. Mummy also recreated an article here that Kosi had been working on but was merged via AfD. There is also a striking similarity in the names. Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 15:49, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Duck by name. Editor is creating pointless niche articles about minor subdivisions of various TV networks, most recently Turner Broadcasting System Africa which will probably never contain enough notable information to warrant a unique article. Additionally, the logged-in user almost always edits in tandem with Nigerian IPs, for instance (ISP: Cobranet Limited) who also edited at the Turner Broadcasting System Africa article.

 * This IP should be blocked for three days. It is obviously Kosi Onochie (see: ).  Vanjagenije  (talk)  12:27, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Done. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:16, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

User has similar IP address to previous socks, and blanked closed AfD discussions about articles created by Kosi. Maybe a rangeblock is in order? Ahecht (TALK PAGE ) 17:51, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Duck sockpuppet by name. Focuses on obscure sub-divisions of bigger companies like Turner Broadcasting System Portugal, which is similar to some of the other Turner articles edited. IP 41.220.68.231 geolocates to Nigeria and is editing in tandem with the named account. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:53, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

This is more circumstantial, but this brand new account is editing in the same general areas as Kosi Onochie and the Nigerian IPs. (I've got dibs on this as a band name.) Quite a few edits at Boomerang (EMEA) and Nickelodeon (Africa) The only thing that might not be consistent with the Kosi Onochie socks is that this user appears to be using edit summaries, where Onoche did not. Might be worth a look, though. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:01, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
