Mudassariqbal59 claims on their user page that they have been making paid edits to Segun Adebutu. In February, this user repeatedly removed sections from the article, in edits that were rejected by other editors: 1, 2.

Days later, "Kaimano97" began to edit the article with similar patterns: 1, 2

More recently, the alleged sockmaster created Swingrowers which is now tagged for CSD G4 and G12. "Kaimano97," who hasn't edited for weeks, is now contesting the deletion, alongside the master: 1, 2  Cryptic   Canadian  22:44, 24 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Added the IP discovered by Toddst1; as well as another IP which made one edit to Segun Adebutu similar to edits by Kaimano, and which also added to the extensive talk page discussion which the two accounts have also participated in.  Cryptic   Canadian  23:50, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I dont have any link with other user which you are referring too. I just made the edits on Segun Adebutu page and it does not approved and I left it as it is. I do had interaction with Kaimano on previous page but I find it very offensive that you guys are just making it difficult for a new user who is trying to learn Wikipedia edits. The main thing which I have observed that those users who have old accounts just have a lobby system and comes in favor of one another like the Cryptic Canadia and Toddst1. Instead of showing that how a page can be fixed, you guys just make it difficult for a user to learn. Mudassariqbal59 (talk) 08:27, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: The interaction on Swingrowers also appears to be quite suspicious. (quack). I'd also observe that  appears to be in the mix too as evidenced on the disruptive edits on  Segun Adebutu  where  has admitted to being a paid editor.  Toddst1 (talk) 22:47, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Behavioral overlap with the master regarding the article Segun Adebutu:
 * Adamant attempts to whitewash or remove the sourced controversy/allegations section: Dantedii, Dantedii, master, master, master, last confirmed sock.
 * This account first edited the article/talk page back in February, but temporarily went dormant after being informed of consensus/policy. The known master began editing/participating in the talk page discussion immediately after.
 * Peacocking and adding soapbox-like content: Dantedii, master. Note that the master has admitted to paid editing on behalf of the article's subject while threatening Wikipedia with legal action.

Requesting CU since this account wasn't suspected during the last SPI despite being active at the time, on top of the master having previously lied about their sockpuppetry while making paid edits to an article with such a contentious edit history. — { Cryptic  Canadian }  06:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

 * - There's so much going on here (including the legal threats), but the removal of the "Controversy" section from Segun Adebutu by both sock and master is enough to justify CU on its own. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Kaimano97 ✅ Mudassariqbal59.
 * Dantedii ❌. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 19:44, 10 June 2020 (UTC)


 * There's likely some kind of socking/UPE/meat going on here, but the evidence here doesn't prove anything, so closing this with no action taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:43, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
