Majoosicorrector is ✅ to Cuffthots. I'll leave the blocking to 's discretion unless he wants those made as cu blocks specifically...in which case I would take his recommended duration here and apply it. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  23:57, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have blocked User:Cuffthots indefinitely for the sockpuppetry. The 'majoosi' insult was in the context of Arab versus Iranian edit warring. Majoosi seems to be in the Quran as a term for Zoroastrians, who were considered another type of of 'people of the book' such as Christians and Jews. The term was not an insult when used in the Quran. But Cuffthots uses the word 'majoosi' to dismiss the good-faith work of another editor who he is stigmatizing as pro-Iranian. In my experience the guy he was reverting usually makes a proper effort to follow the sources on matters of ethnicity. So the reverts by Cuffthots appear to be a knee-jerk form of ethnic bias.
