This sock appears focused on promoting Phines A.H. Muzic, and related entities through with all edits focused on various iterations of an article about that musician such as Phines muzic (deleted A7), PHINES A. H MUZIC (currently nominated for A7), PHINES_MUZIC (deleted twice), PHINES A.H MUZIC (currently nominated for A7), and edits adding/refining links to same articles such as Jallah123's edit here, and Phines0001 edit here. These are just one example, there are many. The username Phines0001 also suggests COI. There is also an Anon IP involved 24.127.157.127 with edits such as these [].

 * Based on account creation dates, I have swapped the master and sock and renamed the case accordingly. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 17:41, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Per behavioral evidence, Jallah123 is either a sock- or meatpuppet, and has been indeffed and tagged. Master has been blocked for a week, and since the IP hasn't edited in a few days, no action has been taken there. Please report again if they resume. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 17:41, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Although clearly one of Phines0001's sockpuppets, this IP wasn't blocked due to its staleness (Sockpuppet investigations/Phines0001/Archive). But he started adding WP:SPAM again here at Talk That Talk and here at Mercy (GOOD Music song). I think it's time to block him now. 118.15.190.218 (talk) 16:34, 3 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Another evidence:
 * , the sockmaster, added Phines West to Yeezus, Phines Muzic to Hit-Boy, and Phines Muzic to GOOD Music.
 * Likewise,, one of his sockpuppet, added Phines West to Talk That Talk, Phines West to Mercy (GOOD Music song), Phines West to ThatPower, and Joseph (Phines West) Derivé to Come & Get It (song).
 * FWIW, his other sockpuppets such as, , and , all of which got blocked, have also added Phines A.H Muzic to List of former Def Jam Recordings artists, Phines A.H Muzic to GOOD Music, and Phines West to Boomerang (song), respectively. 118.6.114.188 (talk) 19:06, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Both users only edits have been to creating the clear autobiography Phines West/Phines We$t and falsely adding the producer to various album articles in an attempt to promote the producer. Screams WP:DUCK to me.  STATic  message me!  03:22, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

After further looking I also found User: Whothatgirl, and a related sock puppet investigation. Seems like the first of the two current accounts were created after that sock puppet investigation was closed. Maybe we need to check for sleepers.  STATic  message me!  03:35, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

My guess is that this is another sock from this master: Sockpuppet_investigations/Phines0001 based upon the topic being edited being a strong overlap. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 03:35, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

I've blocked and tagged the two accounts based on compelling behavioral evidence. I see no need to check for sleepers.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:16, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
