Possible duck recreated Draft:Joseph Kalimbwe where he used this image which was uploaded by and asked  to review it. He was registered back in 2016 and was to create his user page on Joseph Kalimbwe. His last edit was in July 2017 and suddenly become active 10 days after previous socks were blocked.

Daniel kabombo's account was created on June 18, 2018, and made one edit that day, a few more edits on August 14, 2018, and then stopped. On August 14, they created the Joseph C. Kalimbwe page in their sandbox, which was previously created several times under many different titles by confirmed sockpuppets of Ohmy45. On August 28, 2018, the account (now a confirmed sock of Ohmy45) was created. They created several articles; in particular Joseph Kalimbwe, again. They were blocked by on September 7, 2018 as a confirmed sock. Two days after this, Daniel started to edit again; creating articles and making edits that don't seem like those of a new user. The second day of active editing was when he moved his sandbox to Joseph C. Kalimbwe, the same page that all the confirmed socks of Ohmy45 tried to create so many times before under so many different titles.

Joseph Kalimbwe is my main piece of evidence, but I do have more evidence: SkillsM674 created Persecuted In Search of Change, which was deleted on September 7 per G5. Well, 3 days later (on the same day that he moved the Joseph Kalimbwe page out of his userspace), Daniel created the Persecuted in Search of Change page - the same page but with the "I" decapitalized. My final piece of evidence is talk page messages requesting review. Here, SkillsM674 requested that I review the Nkrumah Mushelenga, Persecuted In Search of Change, Mangamu Saw Mills, Chifubu Secondary School pages which they created. A few days later, Daniel requested for two other new page reviewers to review Persecuted in Search of Change and Joseph C. Kalimbwe. As I mentioned previously, these latter two articles are the same as the pages that SkillsM674 had created, and I've very rarely seen users request for their page to be reviewed (particularly because they knew exactly what it meant to mark an article as reviewed or patrolled) on a specific user's talk page besides this circumstance.

It seems likely that Daniel is a sock, but it may not be enough of a duck to go ahead and block. Therefore, CheckUser evidence might be necessary, but I'll leave that decision to someone else. SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 22:04, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Just like all the other accounts, this one is trying to create the Joseph Kalimbwe page, but this time without the H: Josep Kalimbwe. Of course, that's my primary piece of evidence. My second piece is the citation style they use. Skills, Daniel, 6Packs, and If2020 all use an interesting citation style, where they put the URL, a pipe, and then the title/work/accessdate, without using a preset template. I've never seen anyone else use that citation style before. In addition, If2020's edits don't seem like that of a new user. Also, it's worth noting that 6Packs, the last sock, was blocked on October 4, and this account was created only a few days later.

The suspected sock was registered in November the same day when was registered and made his first edit on 19 December. He created a couple of articles including Topsy Kim under Rita Matanga. GSS (talk |c|em ) 09:12, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

They created Persecuted In Search of Change, previously created by User:SkillsM674 (blocked sock) and (as Persecuted in Search of Change) by User:Daniel kabombo (blocked sock) and edited by User:6Packs (blocked sock). They improved Bernadus Swartbooi, created by User:Elianamwiha (blocked long ago, perhaps unrelated) and recently edited by sock IP User:105.232.255.159 and sock User:SkillsM674.

Similar behavior and editing interests as, and it seems very unlikely that an editor who joined 4 months back knows so much about different areas like counter vandalism, npp, afc etc. This user is also way too eager to dive into various different areas in order to gain advanced permissions. 223.223.128.252 (talk) 08:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
 * I don’t even know where to begin. My knowledge of Wikipedia processes like AFC, NPP, and counter-vandalism come from having edited a little as various IPs before creating an account. I think I had approximately 150 edits before creating an account. I created an account so I could be able to use the tools that AFC, NPP, and counter vandalism offers. It’s really hard to revert vandalism quickly manually (without tools). And I didn’t know everything about editing here. I started out asking questions at the Teahouse and forgetting to sign posts. I haven’t looked very much about the behavior of the account I am accused of being, but I don’t think the evidence is strong. Ideally, I would like this to be quick closed as the nominator was previously blocked for harassing me. CUs and Clerks, feel free to ask any questions to help prove my innocence. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 12:57, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
