We are having issues with Ragnimo pushing fringe viewpoints on various articles as the dominantly held viewpoint for ex;. Fast forward today an IP (Norway) just edited the Harla people and removed content. The Ip interestingly removed the statement classifying Harla an ethnic group and replaced it with the term "historical group". . This is a point of view Ragnimo has been pushing on various talk pages, essentially Ragnimo doesnt believe the Harla are extinct but instead that they belong to a current group (Somali) despite the abundance of references stating otherwise. Ragnimo holds a view regarded as fringe in the academic world. they state here "Same goes for Harla, there is no real proof of them being seperate ethnic group"    or where they say "Even harla for example were Somali as recent archeaological evidence shows"  Other evidence that the IP may be them is that Ragnimo has previously posted on the Harla talk page that they would improve the article by having a "more balanced POV"  They also share references pointing to Norway residence based on usage of "google.no" although the editor prefers using google.nl (Netherlands) they seem to have slipped up atleast once by using the google.no link here. It should be noted the IP address and Ragnimo use similar terms in edit summary "no mention". Lastly this users IP was revealed before on separate article talk page and they complained to an admin to censor it but from what I remember it was a Norway based IP, see edit crossed out dated: 09:23, 25 February 2021‎. This is disruptive to the encyclopedia since they likely logged out to avoid scrutiny for the edits made due to the fact that I and others have been engaging with said user about additions of fringe views on multiple talk pages.

This case came to my attention due to the mess from another suspected sockpuppet see case I filed earlier today, Different factions seem to be at war with eachother. Escobar is a new user but already knows how to report others for sockpuppeting as well as knowledge of posting in talk pages, just few days active on wikipedia. Escobar also knows how to nominate articles for deletion

Its interesting that Ayaltimo first edit already calling out socks Ayaltimo has been filing reports against Rashicy hence why its no surprise that Escobar is doing the same  Both editors push a Somali nationalist POV and will remove at will any opposing views   Both users edit war with Rashicy/Shit233333334 sock   Both users seem to be in the uk based on escobars first few edits to black british and chunks (a uk personality) articles. Ayaltimo has used the google.uk link when referencing atleast once, see here

Ayaltimo may be using the escobar account to promote POV and evading editwarring which the user has been warned about before Magherbin (talk) 23:56, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

This is another attempt to silence me just because I disagree with his views. This user doesn't like criticism which is why he's doing this. This is not the first time Magherbin accused me of sockpuppetry and invoked similar points which were disproved. I also find it ironic a user with a past history of sock puppetry can accuse others of being a sock puppet. 

Magherbin false report can easily be disproven by three points based on its inconsistency.

1. He claims Escober pushes Somali POV yet he claims Adal Sultanate as an Afar Kingdom. yet I claim it was a Somali Sultanate. 

2. I have a history of dealing with Shit233333334 and his socks. way before this user appeared and Escober got it immediately wrong when he reported two of Shit233333334 puppets which led the sock master to getting away and was only banned for two weeks. I came in and exposed its sock master which led to him getting an indefinite ban. I fixed the mistake done by Escober.

3. Escober and my interests don't overlap if you look at our histories.

User:Escorban-Han is User:Ragnimo, who has since been temporarily blocked, and neither account is likely to be Ayaltimo. I hereby ping and defer to User:Cabayi. -- zzuuzz (talk) 16:35, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Ragnimo seems to be back to using IP addresses to avoid scrutiny. Its a norway IP once again and they're copy pasting similar content from the article in which I had a dispute with them. The user even readded the content I removed on Yusuf bin Ahmad al-Kawneyn article that stated "he was a founder" onto the Walashma dynasty article using an IP address. A case of WP:Duck an admin agrees. What do you think @ User:Cabayi? Ragnimo is now actively pushing Somali POV across different articles, this is the editors main objective here, he removes anything that opposes his Somali POV identical to the IP address   Referenced sources are removed, this is why the user continuously socks to avoid being caught. I think this warrants a ban atleast as he was given a chance to reform when he was unblocked very quickly. In their plea deal they stated they would avoid edit warring however they're back to it..
