Emdad Tafsir has been involved in an edit war at the Islam article over this edit, attempting to move "fastest growing religion" to the lead. After being warned that they had already breached 3RR, and one more revert would see them reported and almost certainly blocked (diff), TripleCBD popped up a few hours later, after seven months of inactivity, to revert back to Tafsir's preferred version. TripleCBD created their account in June, and their third edit (first was to their user page, second was to their sandbox), just 10 minutes after creating their account, was to give Tafsir a barnstar which was self-reverted 5 minutes later. One hour before TripleCBD re-emerged from their seven months of inactivity, Tafsir edited TripleCBD's user page with this edit which was self-reverted 5 minutes later. Additionally, Tafsir made this edit to their own user page earlier in the month, adding "Currently busy with his personal life", while TripleCBD's first edit, after re-emerging from the seven months of inactivity, was this edit, "I am currently busy with my personal life". I've requested a CU due to the fact that there isn't really much evidence (although I believe the evidence provided is solid). I'll notify both accounts of this report. 2 . O .

Blocked as suspected sock, now the account is claiming WP:BROTHER defence. Closing as there's nothing else to do here.&mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:39, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm inclined to believe he's being truthful with the BROTHER defense. It's two people working next to each other. Clueless meatpuppetry rather than dishonest socking. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 18:09, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Emdad Tafsir gets blocked and activates Maaz143 for POV pushing on Zakir Naik. Both are censoring same content there. NavjotSR (talk) 16:20, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

 * ❌ as far as checkuser evidence goes. This will need a behavioral analysis.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   06:24, 12 February 2021 (UTC)


 * It doesn't look like there's enough evidence to block for sockpuppetry. Looks like an unrelated user who happens to be interested in the same topic. Closing without action. Mz7 (talk) 06:13, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

User:Char Fasson has edited only two articles, a school in Char Fasson and Zakir Naik. Char Fasson is a small island in Bangladesh. User:Emdad Tafsir also edited these two topics, he was from Char Fasson and from his edits a fan of Zakir Naik. User:Emdad Tafsir actually attended this particular school as stated in his user page.

The chances of this being another user from Char Fasson who edits that particular school and is also editing Zakir Naik page from a fans POV is very slim. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 02:56, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Also see Xpërt3? A new account engaging in same whitewashing of Zakir Naik as the master. NavjotSR (talk) 05:10, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅. I've blocked already along with some other junk in the room. There's a combination of meat and sock going on, neither helpful. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 03:30, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
