Suspected sockpuppets
Amr.elmowaled was indeffed on 21 December, Ikhnatoun started editing on 23 December.

Both attempted to remove the possible Persian origin of Ibn al-Haytham (Amr.elmowaled Ikhnatoun)

Both attempted to change "Kurdish" to "Syrian" in Suleiman al-Halabi (Ikhnatoun Amr.elmowaled Amr.elmowaled)

They both also make kinda random and unnecessary lines when writing in talk pages (Ikhnatoun Amr.elmowaled)

5 days into editing and Ikhnatoun is already aware of that the specialization of an author plays a role in how we use them in Wikipedia (and conveniently enough uses it to Arabize artcles  Funny, because this is something I very recently taught Amr.elmowaled in Talk:Muslim conquest of Persia (eg ) HistoryofIran (talk) 19:09, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Brand new account, created shortly after Amr.elmowaled's sock User:Ikhnatoun was indeffed. Went on to immediately restore the nationalistic edit of Amr.elmowaled/Ikhnatoun by removing the possible Persian origins mentioned in Ibn al-Haytham   HistoryofIran (talk) 00:54, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

EDIT: Two IPs (both extremely similar ranges) from Giza have come to the aid of Al.kairawany with their edit warring  - in other words, its most likely Amr.elmowaled editing whilst logged out. A lot of Amr.elmowaled's edits, especially his earlier ones, were in Egypt-related articles.

Two of Amr.elmowaleds socks were recently indeffed (28 and 29 December). Ibn Siwa (who like the socks, also has an Arabic name), started editing shortly after, on 31 December.

On his third edit, Ibn Siwa already shows incredible knowledge of our rules/guidelines, writing like a typical Wikipedian "wikipedia articles can not be used as sources for other articles" and "please provide a reliable source in order to add this claim in the article" (even links WP:RS too!). They are also aware of the three-revert rule. Sure knows a lot for a new user.

Ibn Siwa seems have a special interest in Egypt related stuff, considering they dedicated a draft (their first and only one) to it. Amr.elmowaled also had a huge interest in Egypt related stuff (look at his early edits ), being most likely from Egypt himself, as he was aided by several IPs, in both his edit warring and racist, anti-Iranian attacks towards me after he got indeffed. Speaking of anti-Iranian stuff, Ibn Siwa is for some reason very fixated on Iran-related stuff, and not in a good way. It seems like they only use guidelines when they are in their favour, blatantly disregarding the multiple citations regarding the Persian descent of two figures

Also avoided answering my question (which I asked twice) regarding whether he has used another account before HistoryofIran (talk) 00:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Brand new user whose first edit was on 8 January, only a day after Amr.elmowaled's socks were exposed and indeffed.

With their third edit, Tezak habra 2 randomly restored the edit  of Amr.elmowaled's sock IP 156.200.136.31 with no explanation whatsoever. The range of this IP (156.200.0.0/16) was blocked recently for a month due to persistent disruption, including its use by Amr.elmowaled, as you can see here in my WP:AIV report.

Also, this was Tezak habra 2's sixth and seventh (pov) edits. This is damn impressive for a brand new user, got the formations of the citations and everything right. HistoryofIran (talk) 02:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

I don’t think making a citation is that difficult or require an expert, i just copy the URL of the website or source and paste it on wikipedia citation tool then click “insert” button, and I don’t think i need to say anything about all these random IPs you are mentioning, i will just let wikipedia administrators and their tools decide — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tezak habra 2 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
