User:Hatashe has recently been active on a number of Bangladesh related articles, uploading images and making substantial copyright violations. A couple he added to Baro Vatra were deleted from commons earlier today as blatant copyright violations. A new user account was then created later, User:Amy Covington, which as well as trying to create an article/redirect (Hatashe Channel, currently up for speedy delete) which matches Mehrinwub's confused method, seen here. They have also tried to re-add Hatashe's pictures removed from the Baro Vatra article earlier today, seen here. The common pattern of a confused sense of what public domain, etc means is also evident. They all edit the same string of articles, often with very similar edit summaries, (Mehrinwub and Hatashe, use of the word 'coz', etc.) All three have been particularly active on the articles Baro Vatra and Nanikhir. On the latter, an ip, User:117.18.224.170 pops up, with the same pattern of edits, even signing himself as Mehrin. An ip in the same range User:117.18.224.169 also actively edits these same topics in the same patterns.
 * Evidence


 * User:Amy Covington engaged in setting up numerous stubs of the type like Big Vatra, all of which did nothing but hint at User:Hatashe's favourite subject Baro Vatra. De728631 (talk) 00:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * here Mehrinwub edits Hasanuzzaman, currently a redirect to the cricketer Muhammad Hasanuzzaman, to create a biography of Hasanuzzaman Talukdar Shemul. This is coincidentally who User:Hatashe claims to be on his userpage. Benea (talk) 00:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
