Master has been meeting increasing pushback on his COI (PAID?) work on Cecil Hammond and his business Flytime Music Festival. Sock appeared yesterday continuing the master's promotional work, removing COI templates in 3 out of his 4 edits. Cabayi (talk) 10:49, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Both users are single-purpose accounts who are tag teaming to remove COI templates and add promotional material to Cecil Hammond and Flytime Music Festival.

This looks like undisclosed paid editing, so requesting Checkuser to see if there are more socks editing on other articles. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 10:54, 29 October 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cabayi (talk • contribs)

+CodexKing whose first (and so far only) edit was to remove the COI tag on Rhythm Unplugged. Special:Diff/923572986 -- Cabayi (talk) 12:03, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Scottceneje has been warned numerous times for promotional editing and possible conflict of interest editing on articles relating to Draft:Flytime Promotions including creating Flytime Music Festival (event run by Flytime); creating Cecil Hammon (CEO of Flytime); and creating Rhythm Unplugged (another event held by Flytime). After this account received several warnings, Bibimiangog showed up to restore promotional content and remove COI templates on Cecil Hammond, Flytime Music Festival and Rhythm Unplugged. After that account received several warnings, CodexKing was created and made their first edit removing the COI tags from Rhythm Unplugged. Melcous (talk) 12:37, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, My name is Bibimiangogo and I'm a paid editor. the articles I'm editing Cecil Hammond, Flytime Music Festival and Rhythm Unplugged were written by Scottceneje and he contacted me to help him edit the articles in order for it to be fitting to all wikipedia rules. I have ensured to meet all standards of the conflict of interest guidelines and rules. Please do not suspend any of the accounts as I am trying to edit them to meet all the requirements — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bibimiangogo (talk • contribs) 12:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

This feels like a witch hunts. Codex king and I work on articles together, we are both paid ediors contacted by Scottceneje to help rectify his article to fit to regulations. Please provide a link to give access to all proof you may need

Please clarify what promotional content. We reviewed contents such as Coachella and Google before writing these edits. The content are voiced the same but these seemed targeted unfairly. Please clarify these accusations. We are paid editors but we try as much as we can to adhere to all wiki rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bibimiangogo (talk • contribs) 12:57, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - This may resemble a witch hunt because sockpuppetry, like witchcraft, is cheating. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:02, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Procedural note: a duplicate report was opened (on this page) with additional comments on the same two users. I have text-merged the two reports. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 12:53, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Scottceneje and Bibimiangogo are ✅; CodexKing is ✅. No other accounts seen. All three, indef for the master too as they have been warned repeatedly about disclosing paid editing relationships. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
