Back in January, AcidSnow tried to nominate Isaaq genocide for deletion, but bungled the AfD nomination process (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Isaaq Genocide was deleted, but admins will be able to see the history - see also my post at User_talk:AcidSnow#Isaaq Genocide AfD). Last week, Somajeeste also bungled an attempt to nominate the article for deletion. At first, I thought that this was just a coincidence, but comparing the editing histories of the two accounts has raised my suspicions. Compare this edit by Somajeeste with this by AcidSnow (e.g. the passage starting For those that did use the term "genocide", such as AlJazzera
appears, slightly modified, in both). Cordless Larry (talk) 12:12, 19 May 2017 (UTC) Cordless Larry (talk) 12:12, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- Both users are also pretty insistent that the article should be redirected to the article on the Somali Rebellion, with suspiciously similar use of words: compare this ("As mentioned before, the Isaaq weren't the only clan persecuted. The Somali Rebellion article already mentions some of the conflict") with this ("what this guy is referring is kind of duplicate from Somali Rebellion, these events are already partly mentioned on the Somali Rebellion article along with those of other clans"). Not necessarily damning on its own, maybe, but combined with the evidence above... Cordless Larry (talk) 12:26, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
- I'm also suspicious that there's a link with Middayexpress here, and that there are potentially other sock- or meatpuppets. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive888#Middayexpress's external canvassing for some of the background. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
