Suspected sockpuppets

Possible block evasion from sockmaster Cagadhiig. IP comes with a precocious edit history consisting of adding the word 'teleiophilic' to four different pages [1], [2], [3], [4] before editing a page of interest of sockmaster [5].

They engage in similar levels of edit warring to sockmaster supporting the same narrative as sockmaster (i.e. insertion of Khatumo 'state' [6], [7], [8]) [9] (note OBSART). Kzl55 (talk) 22:49, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Precocious editing history, this is their first ever edit [10]. This very first edit happens to be on a page of interest to sockmaster with identical diffs months apart between confirmed sock and current sock [11], this also happens to be a case of WP:OBSART with the article Erigavo District receiving 169 views in the past 30 days.

Other examples of WP:OBSART include: Dharkayn Geenyo article, with editing by both confirmed socks [12], [13] as well as current sock [14] present in the edit history [15], very unusual a coincidence given the page received only 57 page views in the past 30 days (with the daily average being 2). And the article was actually created by sockmaster.

- Same interest in Burao's population:

Confirmed sock asking for action to be performed: [16] Action performed by current sock months later: [17]

- Same interest in pushing that Sanaag has 5 districts, a very specific point:

Confirmed sock: [18] Current sock [19]

- Other editing of obscure articles:

Bo'ame: Sockmaster [20], current sock [21].

- Examples of WP:IDENTICAL editing:

Khatumo State: Confirmed sock [22], current sock [23].

Erigavo District: Confirmed sock [24], current sock [25].

Dhulbahante: Sockmaster [26], current sock [27]

Togdheer: Sockmaster [28], current sock [29].

(and many more, I may expand the list if needed).

- Same disruptive editing style and edit warring:

Sockmaster: [30] Current sock: also blocked for edit warring Kzl55 (talk) 23:48, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cumarkeysecali and Cabdala Akram are already blocked as socks of each other. There's a few more accounts underneath but I didn't see any link to Buhoodle or any of the other articles. Pinging Yamaguchi as well, given the protection at Buhoodle. Sir Fuad is suspicious. Drmies (talk) 18:34, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Based on their contribution history/articles of interest it does not seem that Geeljire is related to sockmaster Cagadhiig, an example of this is Cagadhiig's opposition to the inclusion of Somaliland [31], [32] which Geeljire does not seem to share [33]. Furthermore, Geeljire's contributions are mostly related to the Garhajis article, this is an entirely separate group from Cagadhiig's groups/articles of interest. I agree with @Yamaguchi先生: on Sir Fuad. Regards --Kzl55 (talk) 15:01, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm baffled as to why i was included in this investigation. I undid your revision because the Dervish Capital today lies within the borders of the self declared de facto state of Somaliland, not Somalia , and that's where most of their campaigns took place. And Just for the record i am in no way connected to or affiliated with Sir Fuad or Cagadhiig, as KzI55 has already demonstrated. I'm confident that a CheckUser will also come to that conclusion.

but I don't understand how they're related to the sockmaster, they just look like vandalism accounts. Sir Fuad doesn't match this master's behaviour either but appears to match Habar Awal king, a confirmed sockmaster without a case, but who also appears technically related to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Loliban. GeelJire has also previously reported Sccsiciidafrica, another editor whose edits focused on Habr Awal. Are they all inter-related? Possibly.  Clerk endorsed - please check Sir Fuad versus any non-stale socks in any of those cases, such as Bayesedam, Haltshobe, Miledisco, Logoat, or Issa Musse. Thanks, and sorry for the mess.

  • The technical connection Cumarkaysecali and Cabdala Akram is very lose. There is even a third account that has edited on the same pages as the other two. It's either someone who knows how to evade technical similarities or this is a group of people. Sir Fuad is Red X Unrelated to those two, and while I don't completely trust the data,  Unlikely to the Loliban group. The Sccsiciidafrica group is completely Red X Unrelated to anything we are talking about. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 18:05, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
