I believe that User:Nichoal Nde is a sock puppet of User:Coal Press Nation. The userpages of both accounts are identical. The "About Me" section is identical as well. I should also note that Coal Press Nation plagiarized my userpage in this edit. I had to remove most of the content he copied from my userpage in this edit. Keep in mind that Coal Press Nation was blocked on 31 July 2014, and the Nichoal Nde account was created few hours later. I don't believe that this is a coincidence.

I am reporting Nicholas Nde as a sock puppet of User:Coal Press Nation. It is quite obvious that the username Nicholas Nde is nearly identical to Nichoal Nde (another sock account of the sock master). The user edit patterns are identical to that of the blocked user. Coal Press Nation posted this response at Lil Kem's AFD discussion page. Nicholas Nde "coincidentally" posted the same exact response on the talk page of the Shizzi article. I don't believe this is a coincidence at all. I also left a note on Nicholas Nde's talk page advising him not to keep opening new accounts every time he gets block. I doubt he'll take my advice. Once this account gets block, it won't be long before he opens another one. Versace1608 (Talk) 20:11, 6 August 2014 (UTC) reply

The username of the sock puppet is a slight variation of his original username. In this edit, I encouraged the user to go back to using his old account. In this edit, the user told me that he went through the guide to appealing blocks and was told that it was too late to unblock his account. I believe this user has made some useful contributions of late. However, I feel that he needs to understand the reason for behind his block; he also needs to promise not to repeat the same mistakes again. He is yet to take my advice. He feels that once he gets block again, he'll just create a new account. He has created two other sock accounts ( User:Nicholas Nde and User:Nichoal Nde) in addition to this one.

I am suspecting Emmanuel Nick. Nde of being a sock puppet of Coal Press Nation. In August 2014, two sock accounts of CPN were blocked. It was easier to detect because the usernames used by the sock master were nearly identical. I remember CPN leaving this note on my talk page, asking me to help him save the Emmy Gee article from deletion. The article ended up being deleted, but I re-created it because I found some evidence of notability. If my suspicion of Emmanual Nick. Nde is correct, it would be the third time that CPN has used the Nde name. I guess the name must be special to him. Versace1608 (Talk) 03:57, 20 March 2015 (UTC) reply

I believe Bello96 and Nonse Nde are sock accounts of Coal Press Nation, a blocked user who was first reported in July 2014 for abusing multiple accounts. The sock master's archive SPI page clearly shows the number of sock accounts he has created. Coal Press Nation has used different variations of the name Nde. In August 2014, he created the Nicholas Nde and Nichoal Nde accounts. In March 2015, he created the Emmanuel Nick. Nde account. The February 2016 creation of Nonso Nde is just another variation of the Nde name. On June 21, 2014, Coal Press Nation introduced himself to Wikipedia as Emmanuel per this edit to his userpage. Fast foward to June 6, 2016, and Bello96 also introduced himself as Emmanuel per this edit to his userpage. I don't find this as a coincidence. Both Nonso Nde and Bello96 have voted keep in two Afd discussions: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Count It All Joy (Mr. 2Kay album) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sugarboy. I believe these sock accounts influenced the non-admin closure of the former discussion. These socks are also trying to influence the latter discussion, which is currently on-going.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 22:46, 15 June 2016 (UTC) reply

Alleged sock created Mayorkun, which has already been deleted at AFD. It got G4'd, and the alleged master popped up to remove the tag and made an argument identical to the sock's.

  • I don't really know what is going on for now, to be honest here am not a Sockpuppet. I have read about Sockpuppet on Wikipedia and it stand out to be an editor who is abusing multiple accounts. I am Donald and this is my account , according to the accusation I am not in any way related to Sharp , an edit was reverted which was tag on Mayorkun, I did not take any action any way because that was meant for other editors and admins to to handled, I have given my clear stament while Mayorkun should not be speedy deleted at the talk pages. I will appreciate SPI clerk to look at this investigation thanks. GeneralisationAreBad the article Mayorkun which you said was deleted under AFD, please can you look at the AFD discussion, only one person voted which was a Sockpuppet and have been block , am trying to explain this but it seems you don't understand. At the same time I have look at all the sock puppet in Coal Press Nation none of them created the article Mayorkun I don't really know who created it. So I still have a hope to prove am not a sock because none of the sock puppet in Coal Press Nation created the article . Thanks

I believe the users above are sockpuppets of Coal Press Nation. MKJ6006 re-created the Sugarboy article, which was previously deleted via an AFD discussion. User McGeddon requested that the article be speedily deleted, but their request was declined by user Patar knight. I believe that the previously-deleted Sugarboy article was created by Bello96, a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster. MKJ6006 joined Wikipedia on September 2, 2016 and created the Sugarboy article for the second time. I don't find this much a coincidence. I believe that MKJ6006 is connected to Coal Press Nation in some way, shape, or form. In this , Coal Press Nation supposedly listed "all" of the sock accounts he has created. If MKJ6006 is confirmed as a sock of Coal Press Nation, then the sockmaster shouldn't be allowed back on Wikipedia. He promised in this edit that he will "never create multiple accounts again". I believe Bob276 is a sockpuppet of the sock master. Historical Ben, who is a confirmed sockpuppet of Coal Press Nation, nominated the Fliptyce article for deletion via AFD. The result of the discussion was Speedy keep after it was revealed that the nominator was a confirmed sock user. On February 21, 2017, I nominated the Fliptyce article for deletion and two days later, Bob276 left a comment on the discussion page. How does an "unexperienced" editor, with a history of only two contributions, locate an AFD discussion and comment on it while knowing how to properly format and sign their post? I don't believe in coincidences and I don't think this is one. Lastly, I believe Obari2Kay is connected to the sockmaster somehow. Both the sockmaster and Obari2kay have a bad command of the English Language. Their style of writing and structuring of articles are similar. Obari2Kay is known for emboldening words that shouldn't be in a bold typeface (proof of this can be seen here, here, here, here, and here). MKJ6006, a suspected sockpuppet of the sockmaster, replicated the same habit while creating the Sugarboy article (proof of this can be seen here). Historical Ben nominated three ( Fliptyce, Jay Pizzle, and Ayo Jay) of Obari2Kay's articles for deletion. In this edit, Bob276 accused Obari2kay of sockpuppetry. It isn't unsual for editors to accused each other of sockpuppetry, but I don't think all of this is a mere coicidence. I believe Obari2kay somehow knows or is connected to the sockmaster.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 01:51, 3 March 2017 (UTC) reply

  • I have nothing much to say, cause saying much make's no deference. All i request is an IP check and also i would like to say something; before i write any article, i do this first a google research on the topic and a Wikipedia search for the topic to see if the topic in question has been featured on Wikipedia by any award or something else. Then i look for other article on Wikipedia which has never been nominated for deletion as a guideline to write an article. Like my most recent article Spellz (producer) was written with this article Masterkraft (producer) as a guideline to achieve something nice. My main reason for always looking for a guideline is because Versace1608 gave me tip's to write, an whenever i use this tip's [10] she still nominated my article so i always use her article as a guideline to write my. As you said earlier "Their style of writing and structuring of articles are similar." I don't just understand how cause i always use Versace1608 articles as guide to make my. An i would also like to address this, Bob276 accusing me of sockpuppet, which i don't understand why but i strongly believe Bob276 is behind sockpuppet in question Coal Press Nation why did i say so, let look at their talk page. Bob276 joined Wikipedia an the first article he/she write is on Milly Kay and Coal Press Nation also joined Wikipedia an he/she write is on Lil Kem. To my google search they are both music artist who are unknown and their stories are only on blog's which mean's they fail WP:GNG.. I agree with you saying we got something in common the only thing i see we have in common is that our first article all got deleted but their is a but, Jay Pizzle is know but don't have all it takes to pass Wikipedia law but he meet some, if not all. But he does not have so many newspaper links to backup his article, but he only has one [11] which i was told that wasn't strong to put him on wikipedia which i understand but he has also been nominated 2016 Nigeria Entertainment Awards .. If you saying my English, yes you right about that doesn't make me a sockpuppet of anybody all i know is i am a sockpuppet of myself, like i said the last time i was nominated for sockpuppet, i opened my wikipedia account with AmPizzle but i was instructed to change my username which i did [12] Thank's.-- Obari2Kay ( talk) 10:12, 3 March 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Clearly sockpuppets. There are far too many similarities in article content, layout, way of starting a new article, etc etc, to be anything else. I have blocked the accounts, though to judge from the editor's past behaviour doing so is likely to be futile, as he or she will probably just come back with yet more sockpuppets.

The sock master is a PR person who has created numerous accounts to evade his block. He created a draft article about himself, violating Wikipedia's WP:COI. From this draft, we learn that he owns a marketing firm and has worked with several notable acts. The sock master is definitely a WP:paid editor. Coal Press Nation has created user accounts under the names Emmanuel Nde and Nicholas Nde. Evidence can be seen here and here. In the draft article, it states that he is Emmy Gee's PR person. I must point out that Gee is an artist whose article was initally created by Coal Press Nation. CPN left a message on my talk page asking me to "save the article" from deletion. I re-created the article after finding evidence that Gee was notable. The Emmy Songz draft also states that Songz is the founder of Coal Africa, a social media marketing firm. The name of this so-called firm is eerily similar to Coal Press Nation, a website that the sock master created to promote and solicit artists for payments. The website was taken down after I reported the sock master. The following articles have been created by accounts that have been linked to the sock master in one way or the other. The sock master has a long history of creating sock accounts on Wikipedia. He just can't stay away from Wikipedia.

Yet another sockpuppet of Coal Press Nation. Recreating Draft:Dremo, which was deleted here in an earlier incarnation created by User:Jamzy4, another sockpuppet recently blocked. Citobun ( talk) 15:53, 26 October 2016 (UTC) reply

I have been monitoring the edits of this user and is convinced he is a sock of this thread. His recent effort in re-creating Indomix, an article that has since been salted due to its re-creation by blocked users. His request on this talk page looks identical to this request by a certain Blaze8724 who is also blocked per this SPI. By the way, his poor English is obvious like the others.— Oluwa2Chainz »» ( talk to me) 22:08, 12 November 2016 (UTC) reply

Draft:Indomix
Indomix was created by a sock of Coal Press Nation. Draft:DJ Kentalky was created by Music Boy50 who asked me to move this over Indomix as it was create protected. A similar name is used to some of the other known socks, and edits summaries and some behaviour, such as targeting DJ pages for deletion have been similar.

Alleged sock created Mayorkun, which has already been deleted at AFD. It got G4'd, and the alleged master popped up to remove the tag and made an argument identical to the sock's. It's obvious, but I'm requesting CU to check for a link to an older master, perhaps Coal Press Nation ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser( log· investigate · cuwiki), even though I am not terribly familiar with that case.

  • I don't really know what is going on for now, to be honest here am not a Sockpuppet. I have read about Sockpuppet on Wikipedia and it stand out to be an editor who is abusing multiple accounts. I am Donald and this is my account , according to the accusation I am not in any way related to Sharp , an edit was reverted which was tag on Mayorkun, I did not take any action any way because that was meant for other editors and admins to to handled, I have given my clear stament while Mayorkun should not be speedy deleted at the talk pages. I will appreciate SPI clerk to look at this investigation thanks. GeneralisationAreBad the article Mayorkun which you said was deleted under AFD, please can you look at the AFD discussion, only one person voted which was a Sockpuppet and have been block , am trying to explain this but it seems you don't understand. At the same time I have look at all the sock puppet in Coal Press Nation none of them created the article Mayorkun I don't really know who created it. So I still have a hope to prove am not a sock because none of the sock puppet in Coal Press Nation created the article . Thanks

I believe the users above are sockpuppets of Coal Press Nation. MKJ6006 re-created the Sugarboy article, which was previously deleted via an AFD discussion. User McGeddon requested that the article be speedily deleted, but their request was declined by user Patar knight. I believe that the previously-deleted Sugarboy article was created by Bello96, a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster. MKJ6006 joined Wikipedia on September 2, 2016 and created the Sugarboy article for the second time. I don't find this much a coincidence. I believe that MKJ6006 is connected to Coal Press Nation in some way, shape, or form. In this , Coal Press Nation supposedly listed "all" of the sock accounts he has created. If MKJ6006 is confirmed as a sock of Coal Press Nation, then the sockmaster shouldn't be allowed back on Wikipedia. He promised in this edit that he will "never create multiple accounts again". I believe Bob276 is a sockpuppet of the sock master. Historical Ben, who is a confirmed sockpuppet of Coal Press Nation, nominated the Fliptyce article for deletion via AFD. The result of the discussion was Speedy keep after it was revealed that the nominator was a confirmed sock user. On February 21, 2017, I nominated the Fliptyce article for deletion and two days later, Bob276 left a comment on the discussion page. How does an "unexperienced" editor, with a history of only two contributions, locate an AFD discussion and comment on it while knowing how to properly format and sign their post? I don't believe in coincidences and I don't think this is one. Lastly, I believe Obari2Kay is connected to the sockmaster somehow. Both the sockmaster and Obari2kay have a bad command of the English Language. Their style of writing and structuring of articles are similar. Obari2Kay is known for emboldening words that shouldn't be in a bold typeface (proof of this can be seen here, here, here, here, and here). MKJ6006, a suspected sockpuppet of the sockmaster, replicated the same habit while creating the Sugarboy article (proof of this can be seen here). Historical Ben nominated three ( Fliptyce, Jay Pizzle, and Ayo Jay) of Obari2Kay's articles for deletion. In this edit, Bob276 accused Obari2kay of sockpuppetry. It isn't unsual for editors to accused each other of sockpuppetry, but I don't think all of this is a mere coicidence. I believe Obari2kay somehow knows or is connected to the sockmaster.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 01:51, 3 March 2017 (UTC) reply

  • I have nothing much to say, cause saying much make's no deference. All i request is an IP check and also i would like to say something; before i write any article, i do this first a google research on the topic and a Wikipedia search for the topic to see if the topic in question has been featured on Wikipedia by any award or something else. Then i look for other article on Wikipedia which has never been nominated for deletion as a guideline to write an article. Like my most recent article Spellz (producer) was written with this article Masterkraft (producer) as a guideline to achieve something nice. My main reason for always looking for a guideline is because Versace1608 gave me tip's to write, an whenever i use this tip's [10] she still nominated my article so i always use her article as a guideline to write my. As you said earlier "Their style of writing and structuring of articles are similar." I don't just understand how cause i always use Versace1608 articles as guide to make my. An i would also like to address this, Bob276 accusing me of sockpuppet, which i don't understand why but i strongly believe Bob276 is behind sockpuppet in question Coal Press Nation why did i say so, let look at their talk page. Bob276 joined Wikipedia an the first article he/she write is on Milly Kay and Coal Press Nation also joined Wikipedia an he/she write is on Lil Kem. To my google search they are both music artist who are unknown and their stories are only on blog's which mean's they fail WP:GNG.. I agree with you saying we got something in common the only thing i see we have in common is that our first article all got deleted but their is a but, Jay Pizzle is know but don't have all it takes to pass Wikipedia law but he meet some, if not all. But he does not have so many newspaper links to backup his article, but he only has one [11] which i was told that wasn't strong to put him on wikipedia which i understand but he has also been nominated 2016 Nigeria Entertainment Awards .. If you saying my English, yes you right about that doesn't make me a sockpuppet of anybody all i know is i am a sockpuppet of myself, like i said the last time i was nominated for sockpuppet, i opened my wikipedia account with AmPizzle but i was instructed to change my username which i did [12] Thank's.-- Obari2Kay ( talk) 10:12, 3 March 2017 (UTC) reply

Single purpose accounts whose owners have recreated articles which have been previously deleted via AfDs. Their style of starting ( [13]) & ( [14]) and moving the articles into main-space ( [15] & [16]) are quite similar. — Oluwa2Chainz »» ( talk to me) 22:29, 23 September 2017 (UTC) reply

  •  Clerk declined - Both are  Stale. GAB gab 22:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC) reply
  • Clearly sockpuppets. There are far too many similarities in article content, layout, way of starting a new article, etc etc, to be anything else. I have blocked the accounts, though to judge from the editor's past behaviour doing so is likely to be futile, as he or she will probably just come back with yet more sockpuppets.

The sock master is a PR person who has created numerous accounts to evade his block. He created a draft article about himself, violating Wikipedia's WP:COI. From this draft, we learn that he owns a marketing firm and has worked with several notable acts. The sock master is definitely a WP:paid editor. Coal Press Nation has created user accounts under the names Emmanuel Nde and Nicholas Nde. Evidence can be seen here and here. In the draft article, it states that he is Emmy Gee's PR person. I must point out that Gee is an artist whose article was initally created by Coal Press Nation. CPN left a message on my talk page asking me to "save the article" from deletion. I re-created the article after finding evidence that Gee was notable. The Emmy Songz draft also states that Songz is the founder of Coal Africa, a social media marketing firm. The name of this so-called firm is eerily similar to Coal Press Nation, a website that the sock master created to promote and solicit artists for payments. The website was taken down after I reported the sock master. The following articles have been created by accounts that have been linked to the sock master in one way or the other. The sock master has a long history of creating sock accounts on Wikipedia. He just can't stay away from Wikipedia.
