 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by &lt;eleland/talkedits&gt;

Adnanmuf got a year's block in February 2008. He is a race/genetics/ancient history crank with a particular interest in Palestinians and in Jews. (He doesn't come out and say it, but I'm pretty sure his pet theory is that Palestinians are the "real" Jews, and modern Jewry is some kind of usurper.) His claims are highly specific and idiosyncratic, and are not to my knowledge common conspiracy/crank memes, but seem to be his own original ideas. Barbarosa123 is clearly the same guy:


 * Both claim Palestinians are uniquely "homogenous" - note the spelling error. Barbarosa123: "Every body is ignoring the elephant in the room (the Arabs represented by J1 haplogroup) ... I recommend change the ancestry section to reflect that the Palestinians have the most homogenous ancestry in the world" "Palestinians are the most homogenous ancestry because of the high level of Arab J1 haplogroup, higher than any country or race claiming any given other haplogroup."  Adnanmuf: "Palestinians are Arabs ( Arabs are the people who descend from Abraham through his son Ishmael and they speak Arabic language) Palestinians are the most homogenous arab people in having haplogroup J1 ( the lineage of Abraham). hpe that will help in your dilemma."


 * Both of them cite http://www.dnatribes.com/sample-results/dnatribes-europa-sample-ashkenazi.pdf, a source of absolutely no relevance, but invest it with tremendous importance. Barbarosa123: "Check ancestry by dna website or DNAtribes.com to check the Ashkenazim Autosomal genetic prophile which is closest to Italy (R1a1 and J2) and then Russia! (R1a1 and Q), and then rest of Europpeans countries (no middle east peoples at all or at the bottom?)this means russians and italians are closer to Abraham lineage than the Arabs???" Adnanmuf: "Autosomal testing results from Ashkenazi jews indicate significant matches with Southeast European, Eastern Europeans and Mediterranean groups rather than Middle Easterners (ref) DNA Tribes autosomal testing laboratory www.DNAtribes.c [sic]"


 * Both editors have very similar patterns of spelling, capitalization, and punctuation, or lack thereof.

(A note on the diffs: Adnanmuf and 75.72.88.121 are the same editor, see Suspected sock puppets/Wikzilla (2nd nomination))

 * Comments by other users

User:Adnanmuf's 1 year block expired in February. While the User:Barbarosa123 account was created in January, thereby evading the block, his edits don't appear to be disruptive. He didn't revert, and he didn't do anything else that I would consider blockable. Since the latest sock account is stale, and with the active RFAR on Palestine and Isreal, I don't think this it is productive to handle this here.

 * Conclusions

Clearly a block-evading sock. Sock indef, main account blocked for another 11 months from now. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:35, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
