• There's no question that the account is a sock of JamesKofi1959. Looking at this diff as well as this one, both users add the same grammatical errors and exact phrases, including: "had before then served in different positions in government", "Fifi Kwetey, describes himself as an eternal student of the school of Life", "Passion, Principles, Personal Responsibility and a Positive Mental Attitude, Fifi believes, are critical prerequisites which unleash individual creativity and potential and enable each of us to make our contribution towards the attainment of a healthy family, a thriving community, a great country and a happy human society", and many others. I've indef'd and tagged the account, and this SPI report can be closed. ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:06, 24 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • @ Oshwah: While I don't disagree that there is significant socking going on here, the commonality of their language may not be a good indicator of the issue: they may both just be copying from the same article. WikiDan61 ^ChatMe! _ReadMe!! 11:42, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply

WikiDan61 - Good call. Thanks for pointing that thought and possibility out to me. Given the context as a whole, I still believe that this connection is due to sock puppetry, though it's good to note and keep in mind that there may be other factors (like COPYVIO) that can explain commonalities like this in other cases... Do you have any additional thoughts regarding this case? ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:49, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Oshwah: No. I'm not that familiar with this particular case, although I understand there has been a lot of socking on this particular article. Also, apologies for chatting on an archived discussion -- poor Wikiquette on my part! WikiDan61 ^ChatMe! _ReadMe!! 12:01, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply

WikiDan61 - No worries, it happens... :-) ~Oshwah~ ^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC) reply
