 * Code letter: F
 * Supporting evidence: Edits are typical of Beh-nam and articles are typical of Beh-nam. Beh-nam sockpuppets usually change reference tags: see edits by User:PashtunNaswari, User:Pashtoone, User:WikiPersianHistorian, etc. etc. User:WikiPersianHistorian has made a change of reference tag on Ulugh Beg, an edit previously made by Beh-nam as sockpuppet User:RealAfghan112. User:WikiPersianHistorian has made a change of reference tag on Sar-e Pol Province, an article often edited by Beh-nam.

 * I'm calling this based on geo location, behaviour and certain checkuser evidence. However, this is not Beh-nam's usual ISP and I suspect this may have been changed due to the recent rangeblocks. If this persists, however, this range should be pretty-easy to lock down without damage to others.

 * Beh-nam sock puppet edit vs. Anoshirawan edit
 * Beh-nam sock puppet edit, vs. Anoshirawan edit
 * edit of Beh-nam sock puppet vs. edit of Anoshirawan
 * claims that Valy is from Iran by sockpuppet of Beh-nam and the city of Mashhad vs. edit of Anoshirawan

 * Beh-nam sock puppet vs. Anoshirawan
 * changing Afghan to from Afghanistan by sock puppet of Beh-nam vs. Anoshirawan
 * changing Afghan to Afghanistani sock puppet of Beh-nam vs. Anoshirawan
 * Beh-nam sock puppet vs. Anoshirawan

Also, at Nasrat Parsa, Anoshirawan had an edit war with User:Historian born 1975, a puppet of User:NisarKand.

I've run out of time today to do anymore research on this. Kingturtle (talk) 14:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Supporting evidence: Check the edits made by a sock to Beh-nam, DoctorLeeOnWiki and the edits made by Anoshirawan, they look pretty similar. Momusufan (talk) 15:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Supporting evidence: Looking at the edit history for Mohammad Zahir Shah, you can see obvious similarities in edits by and 's socks.  The same goes for Kabul University, Hotaki, and various other articles concerning Afghan history.  They both push the term "Afghanistani", and they both claim that Afghanistan "didn't exist until the 19th century", and insist on changing "Afghanistan" to "Khorasan", "Greater Khorasan", "Greater Iran", etc.  This is a complete departure from all other editors, except banned .  They all coordinate their activities on one another's talk pages as well.

P.S. Is there any way we can strengthen the ban on Beh-nam? Kingturtle (talk) 22:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC) P.P.S. I have blocked DoctorLeeOnWiki temporarily for edit warring. Kingturtle (talk) 22:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

✅ Rather pointless to keep posting checks, almost, since you keep spotting them so fast. We can try a rangeblock but it may be impractical for various reasons. Thatcher 22:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

It's a pain posting each puppet to this request page, but don't feel right infinite-banning sockpuppets without a checkuser confirmation. By the way, thank you for acting so quickly on this. Kingturtle (talk) 23:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

 * User:Khowsti

Banned editor and anti-Afghan User:Beh-nam is now using the new sock accounts for edti-wars and violate many rules of Wikipedia. This distruptive user claims to be an ethnic Tajik and he is easily spotted because he shows the same ill feelings towards other ethnic groups by his messages or edits and is constantly pushing for Persian POVs in every article. He is labelling Pashtun cities as "gay cities", with clear intentions. He is currently eyeing on these articles: Ahmad Shah Durrani, Hotaki dynasty, Kandahar, Kabul and probably other Pashtun people related articles because it appears that he has a natural hate towards these people. I don't think haters such as him should be allowed to edit articles, especially articles relating to their rivals or opponents.--203.175.65.153 (talk) 05:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The banned editor Beh-nam is using these new sock accounts to vandalise Afghanistan related articles. If you quickly look down the list here --->, you'll see that mostly all of the above listed socks are used by the same person which starts with "Beh-nam" and ends with his latest sock "Hazara898". He is best known for his similar edit-warring with Pashtuns and Turks, relating to ethnic issues. His favorite articles to vandalise are Afghanistan and Pashtun people.--203.175.65.169 (talk) 15:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Beh-nam (2007-07-18)





 * Code letter: C

Both of these users are involved in same edit-war on the same articles, with same POVs. Beh-nam admitted that he knows user:Anoshirawan and deleted the suspected sockpuppet tag from Anoshirawan's front page. I placed the tag there when Anoshirawan was not online, so how did Beh-nam knew I placed the tag there? If you look at both of the users' history, you will see that both are upto no good, disrupting and creating edit-war with other editors. They or the same person uses both names as a tag team so he doesn't violate the 3RR rule. These users are also vandalizing articles, by removing well sourced information and no administrator will stop them. for example, changing the internationally recognized name "Afghan" to "Afghanistani" in every article, after many people showed enough evidence that the only correct way to spell the name was "Afghan". They changed the article "Afghan American" to "Afghanistani American", which is incorrect according to Afghanistan's constitution, CIA Factbook, Webster's Dicitionary, and every other dictionary or book in the world. These users simply say that "Afghanistani" sounds better and should be used. These users or user has hijacked all Afghanistan related articles and are destroying them in front of our eyes but no administrator will do anything to even warn them. Rabeenaz 21:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Though it's not my place to say this, but this looks like a personal attack. Also, check the contribs of the guy who's requesting this, his first edit was on Anoshirawan's page putting the sock tag there.  Kwsn (Ni!) 07:29, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's correct, I've placed the tag on Anoshirawan's page. I'm not an editor on Wikipedia, just an observer. The actions of Anoshirawan caught my attention and tried to report him here. I don't think that's illegal here.--Rabeenaz 16:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
