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

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

- Precocious editing history, this is their first ever edit. 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, 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, as well as current sock  present in the edit history , 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: Action performed by current sock months later:

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

Confirmed sock: Current sock

- Other editing of obscure articles:

Bo'ame: Sockmaster, current sock.

- Examples of WP:IDENTICAL editing:

Khatumo State: Confirmed sock, current sock.

Erigavo District: Confirmed sock, current sock.

Dhulbahante: Sockmaster, current sock

Togdheer: Sockmaster, current sock.

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

- Same disruptive editing style and edit warring:

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

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 as well, given the protection at Buhoodle. Sir Fuad is suspicious. Drmies (talk) 18:34, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Update: one of my reverts of Sir Fuad was reverted by another relatively new account, . Drmies (talk) 15:16, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

 * 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, which Geeljire does not seem to share . 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  on Sir Fuad.

 * 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.

 * Comment Reviewing the limited contribution history from it appears that even if not engaging in block evasion per se, this is a single-purpose account created to engage in promoting Somaliland interests.  With respect to GeelJire, I am not certain as there are a number of differences in their communication patterns with limited intersects.  Pinging  as well, as they have better familiarity with this particular host of socks and may be able to provide greater insight.  Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 20:24, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * the case status was updated to CU at some point after filing (and the filer is a checkuser) but these accounts are already ✅ to each other:
 * 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, a confirmed sockmaster without a case, but who also appears technically related to Sockpuppet investigations/Loliban. GeelJire has also previously reported Sccsiciidafrica, another editor whose edits focused on Habr Awal. Are they all inter-related? Possibly. - please check Sir Fuad versus any non-stale socks in any of those cases, such as , , , , or . Thanks, and sorry for the mess. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:42, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * 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 ❌ to those two, and while I don't completely trust the data, to the Loliban group. The Sccsiciidafrica group is completely ❌ to anything we are talking about. --  Amanda  (aka DQ) 18:05, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
