Mah.shamim blocked 31 Dec 2014, Tbt blocked 31 Jan 2015; found Tbt chairman at WP:UAA - seems like he has a month-end diary entry to spam Wikipedia.

All three accounts focussed on copyvio / promotional articles for The Bangladesh Today and its chairman Draft:Jobaer Alam. Bazj (talk) 11:06, 28 February 2015 (UTC)


 * The response to the G5 speedy at Draft talk:Jobaer Alam indicates Tbt chairman is the puppetmaster and Mah.shamim is a meat puppet.
 * Over at commons, c:User talk:Tbt chairman has reloaded the same pictures previously loaded by c:User talk:Mah.shamim. Bazj (talk) 12:01, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I'm willing to assume ignorance instead of malice per this edit. That said, it seems both accounts' sole purpose is to write about (and promote) Jobaer Alam, who apparently is not notable enough to be the subject of an article. I'm not sure that can be resolved; if not, there will be no benefit to their participation on Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 14:19, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The edit linked above is the same text (now deleted) used to contend the G5 of Draft:Jobaer Alam. Bazj (talk) 15:50, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
