The user account of Fitsum removed an XfD from a WP page that was recently created by Hilal Mohammmed Mosa:. The | user page for Fitsum Gebremariam Teklehaimanot is the exact same style as Hilal's | user page, except it's for another footballer. My guess is the editor is about to create another possible hoax page. The Hilal Mohammed Mosa's WP page is currently under an XFD, where evidence has been brought that the page is a hoax: Articles for deletion/Hilal Mohammed Mosa . mikeman67 (talk) 15:06, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Callanecc, since you are a WP:CheckUser (last time I looked at your user page), is the reason you are requesting a check is because you want another WP:CheckUser's opinion? Flyer22 (talk) 15:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * No I just didn't have time at that stage so it was easier to endorse it. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:52, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

 * - - There is a possibility that they aren't the same person (possibly meat) so a CU check would be helpful. In the mean time I've deleted the article and userpages per G3. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:14, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

User has recreated a page about footballer Draft:Philip Dauzi Diegbegha. A previous iteration of that page was created by what was found to be a sock of the User:Philip Dauzi Diegbegha account. Given the obvious name similarities between the two accounts here, I think it is highly likely that there is sockpuppetry going on. /wia 🎄 /tlk 12:15, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

and were based on contribution to the same hoax article Philip Dauzi Diegbegha by sockmaster, while  was linked to  by another high likely hoax Malomo Sunday Ajigbade. Effiong Goodluck himself had a failed username change account  Matthew_hk   t  c  06:19, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Moreover, Effiong Goodluck was involved in adding hoax to Alieu Darbo,(link) and Ode070 made a strange request in his talk page about the same footballer, despite no one notice as he did not use   Matthew_hk   t  c  06:37, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * - Could we compare these accounts? Thanks, GABgab 14:09, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Only Ode070 and Effiong Goodluck are not . Do you want me to compare just those two?--Bbb23 (talk) 15:05, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That would be great - although I could have sworn that Olumide070 isn't stale... Thanks, GABgab 15:09, 23 June 2017 (UTC)


 * The two non-stale accounts + are ✅. Blocked without tags.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:44, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I've tagged the socks. Closing. GABgab 16:33, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

It look weak evidence (and the account was stale), but filed it anyway. The sockmaster was responsible on creating Philip Dauzi Diegbegha only and his/her confirmed socks were responsible to edit the article Philip Dauzi Diegbegha as well as creating possible other article of hoax footballer (or creating hoax content/career to "boost" them). So, on Jonah Abutu/ case, only three edits (by user) on the page were actual content adding, which was by user:Jonah Abutu "himself", and confirmed/already blocked socks Ode070. Other content contribution were maintenance edits and from ips of MTN Nigeria Matthew_hk   t  c  02:08, 25 June 2017 (UTC)


 * looking at metawiki, something was certainly behind user:Jonah Abutu that triggered global lock, and the user made a request to unblock  Matthew_hk   t  c  02:11, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, this account is much too old to take action against; however, we can deal with it in the (unlikely) event that it resumes editing. Closing. GABgab 02:46, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Based on interest on Alieu Darbo by using unreliable source to support the footballer's new club, and creating footballer that may even a hoax. His latest creation was Draft:Oluwatosin Aleriwa Matthew_hk   t ' c  11:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)  Matthew_hk   t ' c  11:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Additional evidence - This editor has continued the somewhat unusual choice of titles for AfC submissions in their own userspaces. Compare User:Adigunalapomeji/sandbox/Oluwatosin Aleriwa to User:Jerry Peter Oke/sandbox/Jerry Peter Oke and User:Effiong Ante/sandbox/Ante F.C (all three were moved to the draft space without leaving a redirect or have since been deleted.)

 * something offtopic, the possible socks exposed his e-mail address in the talk page, may be someone with admin rights hide the e-mail address from the current version and in history for him? Matthew_hk   t  c  19:23, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Where is the email address? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:48, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I think this is what MHK is talking about. Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:22, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * yes the gmail address, despite it may be just dispensable one. Matthew_hk   t  c  17:22, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've removed it from the current version that'll probably do. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 21:16, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
