Zurbagan





 * Code letter: F.

Just check the history of the user's contributions on a single page Ziya Bunyadov created by the banned socks. He is trying to restore the content of the banned socks and attacking other editors, —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Atabek (talk • contribs).

Pick a letter and provide the necessary diffs. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 00:06, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I think the correct letters would be A and F. This account appeared after the 2 accounts used for creation of Ziya Bunyadov article (User:Վաչագան and User:MarkHessen) were banned. The above 3 accounts were blocked on 4 March, and Zurbagan got registered on 6 March and first thing this account did was making controversial edits to Ziya Bunyadov, inserting claims of historical revisionism, etc.  So it is suspected that this account was created to evade the block, therefore F is applicable. Also, A is applicable as this account made repeated personal attacks, calling other editors vandals.  Grandmaster 06:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed Code letter to F per above (A is only for IPs, right?). User:Վաչագան and User:MarkHessen are banned as being sockpuppets of User:Robert599 (I couldn't find the CU case though.). A declined case from 6 March lists User:Robert599 and user:Zurbagan altogether. -- lucasbfr talk 11:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The previous request was declined as "throwaway account", but which one of them was a "throwaway"? Obviously Zurbagan is not a "throaway account", it has an extensive editing pattern by now and two other accounts in that report were banned socks. Thanks. Atabek 21:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There is a strong evidence that user:Zurbagan is a sockpuppet. Please compare edit of established sockpuppet user:Jalaleddin and edit of user:Zurbagan -  - use of similar language, same POV, the same references across two different pages.--Dacy69 16:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I added another suspected sock, User:Pulu-Pughi, which appeared out of nowhere and instantly started editing the same article about Ziya Bunyadov. I have a reason to suspect that the sock puppeteer is none other than the famous vandal User:Rovoam, who was banned indefinitely from editing Wikipedia. He was known for using an army of socks to edit war and attack other editors, and this bunch of socks looks pretty much like his favorite manner of disrupting Wikipedia. Please see . As of now, Rovoam continues his disruptive activity on Wikipedia, see his vandalism of the arbcom page,  and yesterday the admins had to protect one of the redirects to Azerbaijani people article,  so it is very urgent to investigate this issue.

No evidence of a community ban. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Could you please explain what kind of evidence you need? These 3 accounts were banned:   as socks, and  was blocked as a sockpuppeteer. Now  and  are both engaged in edit warring on Ziya Bunyadov article, which was created by Robert599 using socks, and they make identical edits and reverts to that article. I would really appreciate if you could check the connection between Zurbagan, Pulu-Pughi and Robert599 and his banned socks. It is urgent, as these accounts continue their disruptive activity. Thanks. Grandmaster 07:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I want to see a diff of a discussion on AN/I or a similar forum that shows that there was discussion of a ban among community members and a consensus that a ban is appropriate. Consider using other approaches.  If the problems are limited to a couple of articles, use page protection.  If there is edit warring and a 3RR violation using socks, list that here with the appropriate code and diffs.  The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * is mainly involved in the article Ziya Bunyadov. This article was created by and, who are proven socks of . Zurbagan appeared shortly after the above 3 accounts were blocked, and instantly started editing the same article. After a while another account,  appeared and made his very first edit to the same page about Ziya Bunyadov. There's a good reason to suspect that those accounts are socks of Robert599, and there's another suspicion that Robert599 is himself a sock of User:Rovoam, who was a party to this arbcom case:  He was placed on a parole and was permanently blocked after he violated his parole and continued using socks for making reverts and personal attacks. Grandmaster 17:43, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand. But nowhere was Rovoam banned by the community. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
