 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

edits are similar in field such as culture and religion also both agree on ethnicity of articles insisting they are "somali" even if it is not the case..ip began editing march 2011 and runehelmet began april 2011..back in july here ip user reverts me claiming that i am wrong and just yesterday ip user arrives out of nowhere on a different article and reverts me after i had reverted runehelmet  ..i believe it may be a sock puppet for runehelmet to avoid 3rr  also runehelmet brought up the ip user himself in a discussion   its also a coincidence ip is from holland and runehelmets user page claims holland residence..this diff confirms its the same

runehelmet also seems like a meatpuppet for User_talk:Middayexpress as clearly seen on runehelmets talk page ..midday passes on articles for runehelmet to add on his watchlist clearing way for both users to appear on WP:OBSART and wp:CAN..it seems other users have brought up their behavior in previous discussion []..middayexpress invites runehelmet to discussions which is also clearly seen on the talk page..they back each other to push consensus seen here & ..also the only time runehelmet seems to accept consensus in a dispute is if middayexpress enters the discussion as seen here  &  Baboon43 (talk) 09:35, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry because some user shares "some" fields of interest, we are the same person? I noticed it was reverted by the Ip-user, because the article is in my watchlist. And yes I live in Holland, so do other 17 million people. Are these users also under my control? And you should keep the discussions of those article within their talk pages. User "Wadaad" is also Dutch, and we share also the same interests. Do I control that user? And you could easily go to my userpage and check more. Runehelmet (talk) 13:13, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * so everyone in holland has the same ip address? & do they all refuse to believe a historical person may not be somali? also i mentioned the discussion because if you are the ip it shows you tried to pretend it wasnt you by referring to the sock oh and is it just a coincidence that both you and the ip respond to me with words "nonsense" &  Baboon43 (talk) 20:31, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * First of all, you don't have my Ip-adress, so how do you know we have the same? And you should keep your views in those talk pages, as it isn't a historical fact, what you are implying. And I don't know about you, but nonsense isn't a rare word, if you heard it for the first time, you should do something. Seriously? We both used the word:and, are, referring et cetera, so I'm using your account to edit on Wikipedia. I haven't got any time to respond to this weird accusation, let the Admins sort this out.

Rune and I have been in intense talk page discussions with this Baboon46 fellow for months now since he joined in March of this year. These contentious discussions have dragged on interminably, a fact which is almost certainly the ultimate motive behind this preposterous case (most of Baboon46's edits are, incidentally, to talk pages ). Regarding the canvassing accusations, I've contacted Rune in the past for assistance on various Somali-related matters for the simple fact that he is one of the most active contributors on our WikiProject Somalia (c.f. ). I often contact admin and veteran Project member User:Gyrofrog for the same reason. This is permissible according to the canvassing policy itself, since it stipulates that appropriate notification includes: "An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion might place a message at one of the following[...] On the talk pages of concerned editors. Examples include editors who have participated in previous discussions on the same topic (or closely related topics), who are known for expertise in the field, or who have asked to be kept informed." This is also something I explained to the editor on the Somali passport discussion that Baboon43 links to, a conversation in which Rune never even wound up participating, nevermind Baboon46 (c.f. ). Furthermore, Rune and I have seen eye-to-eye on a lot of matters, but disagreed on others too. For instance, the territorial maps that Rune made for the Warsangali Sultanate and Ajuuraan State articles have been a source of contention (c.f., & ; , ,  & ). Similarly, one of the links that Baboon43 cites is, ironically, an instance of me actually reverting an ip's edit back to Baboon46's own edit. Still more irony, Baboon46 himself requested my input on his dispute with Rune on the Walashma Dynasty page, yet now opportunistically chides me for basically doing the same thing. Absurd and petty.

 * Middayexpress is a meatpuppet master for runehelmet as seen on runehelmets talk page once middayexpress began into a dispute with me he went over to call runehelmet into the discussion [] and rune also does the same vice versa []..These two individuals would rather have a page dominated by somali-centric material and seem to turn a blind eye on other ethnic groups as seen here []..Gyrofrog does not enter discussion on a wide scale like runehelmet does so that is not comparable..If an editor pushes pov and seems to take your side in a discussion always and you go invite him then that is not acceptable..also your example about you and runehelmet disagreeing on article doesnt matter because that article is strictly somali oriented(squabbling in your own pot)..runehelmet would rather tag team if possible based on his behavior & he prefers to tag team strictly with middayexpress Baboon43 (talk) 20:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I have seen Middayexpress contributions for YEARS, I think you should leave him out of these accusations, it really weakens your arguments. --Inayity (talk) 11:42, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

 * I've blocked Runehelmet for a week for clearly abusing the 86.80.208.136 IP to edit war while logged out. Middayexpress is clearly unrelated. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

On the Mozambican War of Independence article I noticed this ip address is from the Netherlands and made the exact edit as previous editor As User:Runehelmet who is from the netherlands  This user has a history of IP socking to make controversial edits looking at his block log and he made the same edit couple years ago. IP and Runehelmet end their comments with Regards  Not to mention the ip address is currently involved in disruptive edits on the Mohammed Abdullah Hassan article 178.95.165.142 (talk) 05:52, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
