"AryanNawzad" was reverted on two occassions on the Shahab al-Din Yahya ibn Habash Suhrawardi page.- A few hours later, "Znertu" started parroting the exact same POV on the talk page of the same article (i.e. protecting "AryanNawzad"), and even copy-pasted the exact same source that "AryanNawzad" tried to insert into the article.- - LouisAragon (talk) 19:39, 21 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Please bear in mind that "Znertu" had not edited for over two years before he jumped to the rescue of AryanNawzad on 21 January 2019. His last edit dated to October 2017 (!) Given the evidence, identical concerns (i.e. spreading pro-Kurdish content) and convenient time intervals, I dont think this is coincidence. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:54, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Also notice how Znertu came to the rescue of "AryanNawzad" literally one day after I reverted him on the Milan (Kurdish tribe), and reinstated the exact same geographical region (FYI, Tunceli = Dêrsim).- Pinging who also has extensive experience in dealing with sockpuppetry in this topic area. - LouisAragon (talk) 23:54, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Aight, I guess it was just sheer coincidence then. Thank you for your reply. This can now be archived. - LouisAragon (talk) 15:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

 * This looks like two different people to me. The two accounts have been around for several years with almost no direct overlap prior to this. Questions of ethnicity and nationality tend to attract POV editing. Based on the talk page, Suhrawardi's has been a point of contention for some time, so it's not all that surprising that there's more than one editor pushing this position.

 * Louis, you are also point of commonality between those two edits, and a more recent one at that. Given that Znertu returned to object to one of your edits, is it that surprising that they scrutinized your recent editing? There are enough little things (writing style, visual editor use, lack of prior overlap) that don't add up to sockpuppetry. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:32, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
