Hello Amanda and I hope you're doing well. I just want to say do you remember recently banning this sock user with multiple accounts? Well he's back now damaging the same articles as before. He threatened he would change the Bale Sultanate article and he did with his new account named Silverhorn68. and if you look closely at the view history you'll see another new account named Hayaa20. It's the same user because he has two numbers in the end and focuses on Oromo history and vandalizes pages like on here. 

He also restored Fetegar which was deleted after he was found for being a sock puppet. Wej was never a kingdom but a group of people and he made an article titled Wej province then he proceeds to mention it as a kingdom. He denies Oromo expansion and goes into every article with original research with "however" without placing a source. This user is very disruptive and all his false articles should be deleted and I'm sure he has more than two accounts currently that deserve to be banned. I would really appreciate it if you could look into it again since you've dealt with this user in the past and did an absolutely amazing job. Ayaltimo (talk) 15:30, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have blocked the first user as them. I don't thing you have presented enough evidence at this time (because most of it is history links instead of diffs) for me to run a check on Hayaa20 with such a low edit count. If you wish to pursue this further, I would request you do it through SPI instead of my talkpage. This allows people to attend to it faster than I may be able to (and relieves my obligation to chase down the evidence in a timely manner) and get more eyes to see what I may not see. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 18:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * AmandaNP Thank you so much for blocking this troll. As for the user Hayaa20 he's editing through a mobile web the same way as Silverhorn68 did so I think running a checkuser on them would be suitable since you managed to link several accounts through his IP. Here's another suspected new sock named Driver2152. It has a random name and numbers in the end and uses mobile web when editing. not only has he edited an article created by Silverhorn68 but he edited an Ethiopian ruler page  the same thing Silverhorn68 did  but if that is not enough then sure I will do what you said instead. I would like to request one thing. Can you please delete the articles created by the sock puppet (Silverhorn68)? They are Fetegar and Wej province. Thank you so much and happy new year!   Ayaltimo (talk) 21:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Re. the articles Fetegar and Wej province, I can't just delete them. The criteria for deleting that you are referring to is WP:CSD. That clearly states that only articles can be deleted under the criteria.  actually made significant edits to Fetegar and the sum of edits to Wej province likely don't meet the threshold. It's not meant to punish regular contributors who have spent time and energy into writing the article.
 * As for your claims about Hayaa20, by your logic, if I run a checkuser on them I could essentially run a checkuser on Neils51 who only did grammar edits in the article (and has 38,000 edits). They also could have easily decided to use a mobile device. Having numbers on the end of your username and editing the same article using mobile edits does not provide evidence that it's more likely that it is the same person than two different people. That is the bar required for the use of CheckUser. It is not something I can use when I wish. Beyond that, I already checked the relevant IP address from when I just blocked Silverhorn68. If there were other users, I would have blocked them too, but it's the only other account that came up. That means they will not be on the same IP. They will be on a new one which would require even more evidence to block then. So at this point i'm going to officially it.
 * By that same point that I have already checked the IPs with Silverhorn68, I again would have seen Driver2152. Therefore editing the same articles using mobile edits is not enough to meet the evidence level required for a checkuser at WP:SPI. This does not change simply because we are on my talkpage. You have also commented now that you may take the same evidence for someone else to review to SPI. I have issue with that because I have now had to look into it further despite my request to take it there. Therefore I will now go and file the SPI on your behalf and make my comments there. This keeps it on the same page so that we know Silverhorn68 was a sock and we can use that to compare in the future, whereas on my talkpage, it simply just gets lost in my archive. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 22:14, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

 * ✅ Silverhorn68
 * Hayaa20 + Driver2152 per the above. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 22:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I've only glanced at this briefly (and don't have time to dig into it right now), but did want to note that this is possibly connected to AlaskaLava, where Ayaltimo was mentioned. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * If that's a possibility and evidence is presented for the two declined, I'd be happy to take a look. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 23:08, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

The user uses emojis when you check out his page just like the previous two sock puppets TBftf and Hamza678yu on my talk page. 

The user also likes to bring back the old revision of the previous sock puppet claiming both Bale and Dawaro Sultanates were oromo states despite bringing 0 evidence. This revision was done by Silverhorn68 a previous sock puppet that got banned and now check the current revision of Bale Sultanate that was just edited by Jones6668. The same thing can be addressed in Dawaro Sultanate. The current revision was done by this new sock and the previous revision done by the old sock. 

What's worse is he follows me and undo's my revision because I reported him in the past. Ayaltimo (talk) 16:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

This user Baxule is a newly created account restoring and adding back original edits made by a sock Jones6668  &   After Ayaltimo removed it  Ragnimo (talk) 00:38, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Your in charge of this sock farm, take a look at this Ragnimo (talk) 00:47, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

WanderingGeeljire It seems as if Baxule is a troll account, just like the other sock you disputed with on the Habr Yunis article. It wrote: "You make me laugh kkkkkkk he was not from the Marexan kkkkkkkkkk". It's disrupting articles we touch, i have prior made a sockpuppet investigation on it and most of those accounts belong to the "Shit233333334" sockfarm as shown by AmandaNP

I still believe coupd possibly be tied to the past Mogadishu dispute and this being retaliation on the part of the now missing editor Alaskalava who is making these accounts along with others and abusing different IP's.

Anywho. Cheers

Ragnimo (talk) 09:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

No problem. I pinged you because you were familiar with this sockform as no other spu or check user answered me in days. I wasn't let down but the user continued to disrupt pages and troll. Can you also delete all the new troll articles he has made as well.

It would be much appreciative.

Ragnimo (talk) 20:17, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

AmandaNP 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

Was going to report but I see Ragnimo has already done so. Baxule has the same interest as the prior two accounts in disrupting the Habr Yunis Sultanate, Dawaro and the Oromo pages. Regards WanderingGeeljire (talk) 11:49, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Please note that cases are not assigned to a particular person, and if you were looking for a CU, you need to include that in the status/when filing the report. They are confirmed and I have blocked this time, but please understand that we have an excessive amount of cases. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 01:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

He's creating the same articles that were previously created by his other sock accounts and were deleted by the moderators. . There are a few more but I didn't bother to check but it's the same random kingdoms filled with original research. He's also been caught for making another sock account but the moderator is unaware of this user's history. Pinging AmandaNP who has a history of dealing with this sock master.

This guy came to Wikipedia five days ago. Immediately when he got autoconfirmed he proceeded to add a lot of original research, as shown here:.

This guy edits from mobile, exactly like confirmed sockpuppets like Baxule , SilverHorn68 , and Jones6668.

Apart from this account editing from a mobile device, identical to these other confirmed sockpuppets, another thing that stands out is their identical style of writing. Compare the page talk messages of Ante7896 to Jones6668  and Baxule  and you can clearly see that their way of typing is identical.

Then is the fact that they all share an interest in Oromo history and always attempt to add mentions of Oromos in Somali pages, often without reliable sources or with sources that don't even back up their claims (Ante7896, Baxule , SilverHorn68 )

I'd also like to ping given that she has banned sockpuppets of Shit233333334 in the past and is familiar with his behaviour.

The things that stand Dabaqabad (talk) 12:53, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Dabaqabad is correct. This is definitely a sock puppet belonging to Shit233333334 since he made a typical kingdom-related article filled with original research. Pinging NinjaRobotPirate who did an excellent job of getting rid of his sock accounts and helped me deleted his disruptive articles. I would also like to request to get his IP banned because he keeps coming back like every single month. Ayaltimo (talk) 23:19, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

I'd also like to expand this case to include Adal warrior and Ante78, his other two accounts. I heavily support 's suggestion of IP banning the guy. He keeps coming back every month disruptively editing many pages. Dabaqabad (talk) 09:45, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' First of all who is this user, if you want to use the checkuser tool that's fine by me, because I know I only have 2 accounts Adal warrior, and Ante78 but I forgot my password. I don't know anything about Baxule, or Jones6668 so I really can't day anything about them. I focus not just on Oromo history, also Dir,Ethiopian provinces, I just help expand articles you can check on my edit history, but I will refrain from my edits and I have alreadysaid I will stop. The link provided doesn't support your case I'm just giving sources whats so bad about that. I'm just here to help i don't mean any harm to anyone. Now even looking at Baxule, Jones6668 edit history they never focused on Oromo history they had interest on Southern Somalia (Hamar), and Somaliland. I swear I am not who you think I am, I just made a article, I saw that a Gadabuursi article hadn't been created so I helped, and created the article whats wrong in that. stop making me look bad me, and Dabaqabad have discussed this, and the issue was resolved. The check user never put these accounts are definite accounts created by the sock master, I am not a sock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ante7896 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

His previous sock named Baxule had the same revision with over 23 thousand bytes until it was removed by another user. He decided to come up with a new account named Somaliguy99 and restored the previous revision with the same 23 thousand bytes. Ayaltimo (talk) 14:53, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

please stop, I wasn’t even mentioned on my talk page about this. I did not restore the socks version, the sock didn’t even bother to mention the campaign against The Reer Samatar. I simply added more info about what happened during the reign of Hersi Aman because he is a very interesting topic to me because I am a Reer Ainashe.I don’t get how me adding information to article is relevant to this?.

I'm quite late to this since I don't generally check those articles out. However, I suspected a sock puppeter. The article was created by Rashicy (a confirmed sock puppet of Shit233333334). This is how he made the page before other editors intervened. After he got banned, the editors manage to remove some editions that contained original research. However, 9 months later a new account appears and restores all of Rashicy's editions. The evidence are quite clear and Shit233333334 is known to appear randomly with new accounts to restore his reversions. Ayaltimo (talk) 01:12, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets
First edit made was a draft and this sock master has a long history of doing this. The sock master was also known for creating "Afran Qallo" page but it got deleted multiple times and looks like it has been created again. The way the page is laid out is exactly the same too. He/she engages in multiple fronts by edit warring with other users in several pages. The sock master is known for pushing the Oromo agenda and ignoring warnings. Many elements resemble each other when you compare the other sock accounts and this one. Ayaltimo (talk) 23:41, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

User creates a investigation with completely no evidence says I'm a sockpuppet of a master that has been inactive for years, because I created a Afran Qallo page which he/she says a banned user created. Ayaltimo also says that "many of our elements resemble with each other" and provides absolutely no evidence just making a claim, also just to make the edit longer Ayaltimo says that I push a Oromo agenda and because I contribute to Oromo history on Wikipedia I'm apparently a sock. Also to sum it up he/she brings up completely irrelevant topic about edit warring. Very weak false case.

 * - the evidence suggests that there is a connection but I'd like to check if there's some technical evidence that might be able to support a connection.
