This is a case involving deceptive hoax pages, which included faked sources and elaborate maps. Two articles were identified and taken to PROD, Greater Equatorial Guinea, now deleted (and somehow no longer appearing in creator Camero-Belter's contributions history, but see his talk page for evidence that he was indeed the creator); and Greater Niger, created by Mus-Lopkan. Other than duck evidence that the two hyphenated-name users created hoax articles on African politics with "Greater" in the title and elaborate maps on close dates, do note that Mus-Lopkan was one of only a couple editors who ever touched the Greater Equatorial Guinea hoax article. Again, this has vanished from Mus-Lopkan's contribution history following the deletion of the Greater Equatorial Guinea hoax piece, but see the thread I started at RSN, "Apparent faking of sources" for evidence that this indeed was the case. I don't have the administrator flag and am unable to see the history of the now-deleted article. I suspect that there are possibly other unidentified socks that a CU might identify which plausibly could uncover other similar hoax articles for removal. (I'm a little puzzled why the edit history of the two editors has changed following deletion of the first hoax article, but I leave that for you to suss out.)
