Swissfishpool and Mangocontrolling are recently-created accounts who attempted to remove {{main|Umid gas field}} from Nobel Oil Group, see this from Swissfishpool and this from Mangocontrolling. These seem to be associated with a wider battle trying to remove sourced text from Nobel Oil Group and Umid gas field and it is possible that other accounts are involved in the socking.

• Swissfishpool also tried to remove other users' contributions from Talk:Nobel Oil Group, in this edit, in violation of WP:TPO, and Mangocontrolling similarly violated WP:TPO in this edit on another user's talk page. --David Biddulph (talk) 07:49, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

• Showontop was among the users attempting to remove the same sourced text from Umid gas field as Mangocontrolling. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:09, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

• Poolontop attempted to remove other sourced text from Umid gas field, and whereas there might possibly be some justification for that removal, the similarity in username to Showontop does arouse suspicion (both accounts being created today). --David Biddulph (talk) 13:09, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

• Further cause for suspicion of socking can be seen on the history of my user talk page, with equally invalid "warnings" from Swissfishpool and Mangocontrolling within half an hour of each other. --David Biddulph (talk) 19:29, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

•  Awaiting administrative action - Please block all the confirmed accounts and Showontop; I see no basis on which to block Passyourid, since they haven't edited. That being said, if you see something I don't, you can block the latter. GAB^gab 22:56, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

 Blocked and tagged except Passyourid: master for 1 week and the rest indef. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:48, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
