Both Reporter104 and Parker8 have identical edits in the Abyssinian-Adal War, the Second Italo-Ethiopian War and those about an obscure historical character named Ras Fanu'el. Reporter104 uses both accounts to establish a faux-concensus and pushes a non-neutral point of view. He has also been caught adding fake references that do not exist or mention the subject in question. This is very disruptive to the articles above.
 * Parker8's identical edits about Fanu'el ,.
 * Reporter104's identical edits about Fanu'el,.
 * Both accounts finish their edits with the distinct "Added info" or "Added sources".
 * Both accounts are pushing the exact same claims on the Second Italo-Ethiopian War after one of the account is reverted by a different user:, <-- First edit is by Reporter104, the second by Parker8. --- GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 17:06, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

 * As far as I can tell, this is meatpuppetry. Since they appear to be working together to push a POV/create a false consensus, I have both. GeneralNotability (talk) 17:53, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Reporter104 has been blocked on 21 October of this year. On November 10, Reporter105 is editing the article "Sarsa Dengel", where the sockmaster edits. I should clarify that this user's username might be identical as Reporter104. This is a new, might be sockpuppet. Rdp060707 (Your questions?/My fight against the devil) 13:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

A very specific and focused first edit by Lancer1295, similar to that by confirmed sock-puppet Parker8 where both distinctively persist on changing sourced information about the sacking of an imperial capital into OR about a supposed refugee settlement.

 * When filing reports at WP:SPI in the future, be sure to use the box under "How to open an investigation:" at Sockpuppet investigations. Otherwise, it may not be listed correctly, and your report may slip through the cracks, as it did here. I will take a closer look at this report later today (although any other SPI clerk or admin may feel free to action this report before me if they wish). Mz7 (talk) 23:13, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

Persistent block evasion by Reporter104, either through ips or new accounts. Compare his identical edits on his new sock Jammer456 with his confirmed sock Lancer1295 on the Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi article and similar disruptive vandalism at the Military history of Somalia article, where instead of requesting citations, he deletes everything. I requested a CU, but I think other admins/clerks can also clearly spot that this is the same individual. He even points that out in his edit summaries ("re-eliminated").

All three accounts have identical edits and push the same POVs as Reporter104. Compare the edit of a confirmed sock with the above three accounts, ,  GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 14:26, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Can you also look at this account Krosherer as well because it also a new account disrupting the same pages that baxule was disrupting and  and reverting back the edits  and adding troll comments and removing content that is sourced. Check user Ezz upp who is also doing the same and aslo a new account. . All of these accounts came 1 by 1 to disrupt the same pages.

Btw AmandaNP is there a way to prevent these accounts from coming up? especially if they are abusing different IP's. Or should i just keep reporting them? Because that would time consumin and tiring. And if it wouldn't be to much to ask but can you or another admin delete the troll articles Baxule made, , ,

Thank you

Hi AmandaNP Blablubbs Didn't you block Krosherer already? Isn't it tied to the sockfarm because it keeps vandalizing, removing content from the same pages &  spamming my talk page with nonsense troll comments   and this user keeps on vandalizing other Ethiopian related articles   Ragnimo (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Ragnimo, I don't block based on my CU results on a regular basis. Normally I leave it to any other admin for many reasons. Also, with respect, please stop pinging me every handful hours. Someone will deal with your case. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 00:26, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , based on your CU results it looks like this whole case should be merged into Reporter104 (since Troop626 is a CU-confirmed sock of Reporter104), does that sound right to you? GeneralNotability (talk) 14:59, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
