Suspected sockpuppets
Historiantruth, who was blocked earlier today (ANI), is specifically opposed to the idea that Somali clan genealogies generally claim Arab origins. They repeatedly inserted or restored a line claiming instead that the Somali genealogy from the line of Samaale dates back to their Cushitic ancestors 5000 YBP, as well as a line claiming that specifically the Dir clan and the Hawiye clan trace their descent to the Somali patriarch Samaale, unlike other clans such as the Darood who claim Arab origins. .

This point about the Dir and Hawiya is also repeatedly made elsewhere, including in the edsum of the last diff (Hawiye and Dir never claimed Arab neither did Samaale) and in the post-block message at their talk (There is some Somali clans like Darood and Isaaq that claims Arab but the Irir ones Dir And Hawiye never claimed Arab).

In their diatribes Historiantruth also referred a few times to white man sources. 

After Historiantruth's block, ElphionAbraham shows up and restores the dates back to their Cushitic ancestors 5000 YBP line with the following edsum: Let’s provide full sources not some pseudo white fake sources on Samaale arab myth claims. Both Dir & the Hawiya never claimed the Hashimite Arab lineage so it’s very disingineous to attribute those false claim on the clans. 

The ElphionAbraham account is older (log) than the Historiantruth one (log), but they're quite obviously the same user, which makes me think there may be more accounts (hence the CU). Thanks for taking a look, ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 21:11, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Inquisitiveone1 appears to be a sock of ElphionAbraham, and has started off where the last sock (Historiantruth) finished. On the Dir (clan) article ElphionAbraham added this, Historiantruth added this to the Hawiye article , and Inquisitiveone1 edit the the same page.

 * Inquisitiveone1 is ✅ to the master and to the sock in the archive. No comment on the IP, naturally.  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:22, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I fixed the tagging for Inquisitiveone1. The IP hasn't edited in two weeks, so it wouldn't be worthwhile to block it at this time. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 22:30, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Reinstates edit previously inserted by multiple socks. ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 15:14, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking at the behavioral, there isn't anything beyond this one edit.
 * All the other edits seem to be test edits/vandalism to random pages, something none of the others accounts ever did. Maybe it's not them after all.
 * In any case I think this can now be closed. Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 17:42, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

 * The user agents are a match, but it's a fairly common one; CU data (which doesn't look like it's been faked) puts them in different (but fairly nearby) countries. If this is them, it looks like they've relocated.   Girth Summit  (blether)  17:05, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
