 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by Hairhorn

User:Olumideakinsola and User:Karuba have a very similar pattern of edits, particularly on the page Yorubeat, a musical genre credited to only one musician (See Articles for deletion/Yorubeat for more background). Both have removed the AfD tags from the page, and both have made similar vandal edits to user pages: Olumideakinsola's is here and here; Karuba's is here.

Christiana2 has fewer edits, but has edited Yorubeat and Goldsmiths, University of London, the page for a school mentioned in Yorubeat. As I was writing this report, Christiana2 also made the same vandal edit to my user page as Karuba: here.

The way things are going, I would expect them all to get blocked for vandalism before this sock investigation is finished. Hairhorn (talk) 15:51, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

 * First, I don't know why this case isn't showing up anywhere. Either way, I'm endorsing to see if these accounts match each other; the master is stale enough that we can't do anything there. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:32, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Some additional diffs for the CUs:
 * Syntax/Spacing issues: Adamwwumy Reeddeko
 * Styles --> Genre and reverse changes:
 * Capitalization of 'western':
 * Massive Additions of links: Goldroom Adamwwumy Goldroom

 * Thanks DQ. Goldroom and Adamwwumy are ✅ matches to each other. Reeddeko is apparently ❌/. No comment on the IP. WilliamH (talk) 13:02, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocked and tagged both confirmed accounts. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks; also, if anyone feels like deleting Tunday Akintan (musician) it's been up for CSD for several days. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 18:55, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
