• {{checkip|1=85.237.212.126}}
• {{checkuser|1=XMAxox}}

• [http://toolserver.org/~betacommand/cgi-bin/uc?uc=85.237.212.126 User compare report] Auto-generated every hour.

I suspect that the two accounts and anonymous IP above are operated by the same individual, as they meet many of the signs of sockpuppetry. I also believe that the creation of these multiple accounts was not done in good faith but rather is being used abusively.

Lines of evidence:

• The Coolbeard and XMAxox accounts are both brand new ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/XMAxox], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Coolbeard]).
• Both accounts were created within hours of each other.
• Of all the millions of possible Wikipedia articles, both accounts chose to show up on the same War in Somalia (2009–) page (there are several such articles), which they have both almost exclusively focused on as single-purpose accounts.
• Both accounts have been performing/reverting back to the same exact idiosyncratic edits first added by the 85.237.212.126 anonymous IP less than 72 hours earlier (c.f. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=445812879&oldid=443391880], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=445963987&oldid=445869205], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=446040954&oldid=445972053]).
• Both accounts have used edit summaries from the start, including during their very first edits.
• Both accounts have adopted an aggressive attitude from the start, as if the user(s) has a chip on their shoulder/a score to settle. For example, calling out other users in edit summaries ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=445963987&oldid=445869205], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=446165228&oldid=446146930]), making ill-considered accusations of impropriety ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=446040954&oldid=445972053]), reverting various established editors without hesitation ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=446040954&oldid=445963987]), etc..
• Both accounts believe in and have been pushing for the idiosyncratic notion that such a thing as the "Islamic Emirate of Somalia" exists (c.f. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&diff=prev&oldid=445812879]). Note that an article of that name was actually deleted in the past specifically because notability for the topic could not be established [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Islamic_Emirate_of_Somalia].
• Both accounts have betrayed an awareness of advanced website functions that few genuine newbies are likely to know. For example, the XMAxox account alluded to the Twinkle tool during his very first edit summary (c.f. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=War_in_Somalia_%282009%E2%80%93%29&action=historysubmit&diff=446040954&oldid=445972053]), which was also his very first edit.

Given the foregoing, I would appreciate if possible a Checkuser to confirm the relationship between the two accounts and the anonymous IP. Middayexpress (talk) 19:32, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Chaosname's confirmed sockpuppet {{user|Peterzor}} editwarred the Soviet Union inbox over the "successor"[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=554848546&oldid=554769049],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=554939120&oldid=554872551],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=555234561&oldid=555233598],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=prev&oldid=556545178],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=prev&oldid=556595332].

{{user|Kalix94}} also editwarred over "successor" in the infobox [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=585774396&oldid=585733074],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=586177261&oldid=586175849],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=587239719&oldid=587234597],[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Soviet_Union&diff=588830803&oldid=588792217]

{{user|Kalix94}} seems to have knowledge not attributable to an editor with only 33 edits to initiate an RFC on the Soviet Union talkpage[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Soviet_Union&diff=prev&oldid=591020716].

An IP that geolocates to Chaosname's known location[http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/83.180.212.21] also opened an rfc [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Vladimir_Putin&diff=prev&oldid=580922837] on the Vladimir Putin talkpage on 9 Nov, which resulted in removal of text from the lede. This text was recently added back in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vladimir_Putin&diff=591014169&oldid=590809652], {{user|Kalix94}} who never edited this article before then removes this text[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vladimir_Putin&diff=591144749&oldid=591014169] and also removes a recent comment from the now closed RFC[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Vladimir_Putin&diff=prev&oldid=591146058] that was opened by this IP that geolocates to Chaosname's known location.

{{Clerk-note}} {{U|Nug}}, I have no comment on the rest of the report at this point, but the part about the Putin article and the RfC is backwards.

:The edit wars over the infobox involve different material. I see the pattern between the two accounts at Soviet Union, but the edits seem largely disconnected other than the timing. I can't see how it advances their "cause"; one account could have just made consecutive edits. One strange thing that intrigues me. User:Relimandere22 is the last account to be blocked - not confirmed but based on duck. That account was created on October 23, 2013, at 17:05 UTC. It was blocked on October 29, 2013. Kalik created their account on October 23, 2013, at 17:00 UTC, five minutes earlier. Even more oddly, they didn't edit with the account until December 12. I'm not sure what that means, either. It would have made more sense for Kalik to start editing after Relimandere was blocked rather than waiting about a month and a half. At the same time, I find all of this behavior disruptive - and particularly Kalix's edits indicative of socking even if it's not this master - and with an obvious intersection of interests. Based on that, I'm endorsing a CU.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:11, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

First came upon {{diff2|608399587|this edit by Egyptian}}, which reminded me of {{diff2|472656443|this one}} by blocked sock {{u|Heonsi}}. Egyptian certainly has an interest in the same subjects as Chaosname, for instance Nazism, Russia, China.

• Dannis243 appeared 20 June 2014, waited 5 days and then made 10 inconsequential edits to their own talk page to gain autoconfirmed status, blanked the page, then immediately [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nazi_Party&diff=614399768&oldid=613696891 removed] German Nationalism and Antisemitism from the same infobox, with the edit summary {{green|restoring original version}}.
