We have creating an article about himself through the Article submission process. When that fails he creates the article in mainspace. When the article gets tagged with multiple issues the sockpupet comes in and deletes the tags in his first edit. Then IPs appear providing edit-warring support to the master and removing the maintenance tags from the article. . Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 17:06, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Additional evidence
 * MrEditor88 gets warned about editing User:Johntheodoreedevu/sandbox which is his original account. Without changing names through the normal process of CHU, he then proceeds to open the new account MrEditor88 so that his COI does not get detected. Please check User talk:Johntheodoreedevu for the COI warning. With that out of the way he creates the non-notable article John Theodore-Edevu about himself in mainspace despite the article having been rejected at article submissions. Please see Draft:John Theodore-edevu.


 * Not content with creating the article, he goes on a promotion spree of himself by adding his article in multiple lists including List of Cypriots, even though he is not a Cypriot. He then creates a POV-fork List of famous Cypriots in which he adds himself as number four before he got reverted by admin.
 * Sample introduction from the POV-fork list: Cyprus have produced quite a number of famous and important people in the world. Some in politics, others in entertainment industry and what have you. Below are some famous people who are either native Cypriots or live in Cyprus, with Mr. Edevu naturally coming fourth on the four-member list right after Archbishop Makarios III. He also added any category imaginable to his article to increase its visibility. This is COI promotion on steroids.
 * Additional information
 * Master removes PROD tag from mainspace article. Reason for PROD: "Article in Draft space that was prematurely moved over See: Draft:John Theodore-edevu".
 * Sample content from the article
 * Just a small sample from the self-serving tripe which fills the article:

 * No action taken against Johntheodoreedevu. Since John Theodore-Edevu has been semi-protected, I don't think blocking the IPs is needed here, especially since they seem to change quickly. Mike V • Talk 18:45, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Same IP as reported on May 10 with no action taken at that time. One edit on June 2 since. The article hasn't even had enough disruption to justify semi-protection. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:10, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
