In this message, User:Oa Direng referred to Draft:Ennock Mlangeni, a page created entirely by User:MollelwaFahaSaBasotho, as "my page". The promotional tone of the draft, coupled with the editor's use of multiple accounts, leads me to suspect a conflict of interest. Requesting CheckUser in case there is a larger sock farm.

- Adding User:Mothofelamakgetha based on similarity of topics edited and grammar of edits.Huntthetroll (talk) 03:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Adding User:MafahlanengNative, User:Karannagpal309, and User:TwinMosia for the same reasons. This page should be renamed to reflect TwinMosia's status as the oldest account and likely sockmaster.Huntthetroll (talk) 03:28, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]- Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
If you look at User talk:TwinMosia#Use of multiple accounts, you will see that in July 2023 IP editor 2A00:23EE:1510:6CAE:C0A5:6BFF:FEDF:5D04 accused TwinMosia of using multiple accounts and both TwinMosia and MollelwaFahaSaBasotho replied. TwinMosia's explanation was that We have of recent made one PC available for the public at our museum and gallery. This could be the reason, we are introducing Wikipedia to our wider community.
