 * Report submission by


 * Evidence
 * Mriraq was the creator of the spam pages Mister Iraq, Miss Iraq, Talat Model Management and Iraqi Model Searches, all of which were deleted at Articles for deletion/Mister Iraq.
 * In addition, Mriraq has repeatedly vandalized the pages Assyrian people and Claudia Hanna (., ), as well as their respective talk pages , claiming both articles are full of "misleading information and propaganda".
 * For the above actions, as well as making legal threats, he was indef blocked on March 30. On April 4, Nimrod1976 signed up to Wikipedia and immediately continued the same talk page antics, posting in the same way as Mriraq and trying to add proposed deletion tags to the aformentioned articles . He also recreated the Miss Iraq article.


 * Comments
 * Pretty much a textbook block-evading sock. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 08:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Scratch the sock part; according to this edit by User:TonyTheTiger, a person who has also dealt with the sockmaster before, Nimrod claims to be a coworker of of Mriraq. Nimrod's actions still make me suspect he/she is a meatpuppet of Mriraq, though. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 22:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have been receiving emails after having gotten User:Mriraq blocked from what seems like one or two individuals. One claims to be Alaa Abdul Hadi, a former Miss Iraq, now User:nimrod1976, and one claims to be Ahmed Kadret, a former Mr. Iraq, User:Mriraq. Both persons claim to work for the Talat Organization. They have been polite and civil. I am attempting to steer Alaa to constructive contribution. I asked her to create an ID so she could upload the dozens of photos they sent me of past Miss Iraqs. I attempted to encourage her to communicate with me through this ID on wikipedia so I could instruct her on how to upload her photos. However, she went ahead and recreated Miss Iraq instead. Could you userfy both the original Miss Iraq and her recreation so that I can see what is going on. I will try to keep you posted on my progress and try to get her to communicate with me through wikipedia so that our communication will be transparent.

 * Conclusions
 * Based on TonyTheTiger's comment, I'm going to close this case with no action. If Nimrod1976 becomes disruptive, contact me, or file a new case. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
