I noticed this user has been removing sourced content for a while now, they may have created other accounts to avoid scrutiny as users have started noticing their disruption. Ofdegu (1 day old) account makes a clearly controversial first edit and immediately discusses their edits on the talk page before anyone even disputed them. . I reverted this edit and replied on the talk page then Walkerdude reverts me claiming in the edit summary, they already started a discussion which led me to believe Walker is Ofdegu. User clearly doesnt understand the WP:BRDD process either. Ofdegu and Walkerdude have some fascination with bringing up "Amda Seyon" in unrelated discussions on talk pages. Another thing to note is that Ofdegu and Walkerdude have both used the exact same phrases in their edit summaries. . The two users also use a mobile device to edit on Wikipedia. 

Rollerex12 may be another throwaway account of Walkerdude. Back in April the account reverted me after I had reverted edits made by Walkerdude. Rolerex12 has since not edited again, this is their first and only edit. 

Walkerdude seems to be editwarring on other pages with the username "Ramolianwise". Again same usage of terms on edit summarries and both accounts using mobile to access wikipedia. Ramolianwise shows up right after Walkerdude in all cases. These pages are a mess im suspecting socks are battling other socks. My suspicions were right see my other case for context. . The sock master might be User:Reporter104 as their sock Kroshner was in dispute with the other sock master Ragnimo on the articles, and same usage of mobile device.

 * I am convinced that Walkerdude and Ramolianwise are the same person or actively working together. Ofdegu also looks like them, though I am less confident of the relationship. Not touching Rollerex. and handed out some ECP. GeneralNotability (talk) 18:50, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

This user was roughly made three days ago and what does this user do after joining three days ago? He/she starts making edit requests on three articles   supposedly because his/her last sock edits were reverted. This sock master also has a habit of requesting edits with his/her previous sock accounts. Ayaltimo (talk) 20:09, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Walkerdude has an interest in editing the Ethiopian Empire article and this new account made similar changes compared to its old sock when you compare both revisions. Ayaltimo (talk) 04:39, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

This sock master has a personal vendetta against me and does this by attacking Somali history all because I reverted all his/her revisions that were based on original research and Ethiopian nationalism. This sock master is usually interested in military history like the list of wars involving Ethiopia pushing his/her POV. Now, this user with a new account out of nowhere attacks Somali sourced contents on the list of great ancient wars and list of wars involving Somalia. This new user is also experienced in using talk pages to push his/her POV. just like its second last sock puppet using talk pages to push his/her POV. 

This sock master likes to use words like "Removed" and "Corrected" when you compare this new account behaviour with the other sock accounts behaviours. The names also share similarities when both names have two words and two digit numbers at the end. Tagging GeneralNotability who has a history of dealing with this sock master.

 * ❌ as far as I can tell. I see they've been given a sanctions notice; if they keep being disruptive they may need a block, but they're not Walkerdude (and I don't see any candidates for someone else they could be a sock of). GeneralNotability (talk) 02:33, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Restores a sock revision. Either could be one of Walkerdude's sock farms or another potential meatpuppetry. Ayaltimo (talk) 02:11, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Not one of the players that I recognize. There's extensive logged-out edit warring, which I apparently noticed six months ago and did nothing about.  I'll warn of discretionary sanctions about the Horn of Africa.  Once they're alerted to this, I suggest pursuing action at Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement if sanctions are necessary.

I know ZemenfesKidus was reported here a few weeks ago (17 February 2022, see also Sockpuppet investigations/ZemenfesKidus/Archive), but this account really has quite a few edits that are similar to Walkerdude47 edits, some of them okay-ish but some of them also blatantly disruptive:


 * vs
 * vs
 * vs
 * vs

I'm not clear on whether a CU was run last time, but if it wasn't I would say that this behavorial warrants one. Thanks, ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 12:07, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

 * From what I can see, ZemenfesKidus is ❌ to any of the previous socks in this case. As noted in the last investigation, WP:AE may be where this should be taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:26, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
