[edit] Faranbazu

  • Code letter: F.

Faranbazu was blocked indefinitely for being a sock puppet of Artaxerex (talk · contribs) as it was confirmed here. Artaxerex has been a confirmed puppet master of a few users that can be seen in this category.

He\She came back again today with a new user "Yima", following the steps of Artaxerex/Faranbazu by reverting back to the version preferred by him here and then again here. He then went on to talk page of an admin and accused every other editor of the article of being "Iranchamber bloggers", as Artaxerex had done just [1] 4 days earlier.

Furthermore Yima only edited two articles, one which was Reza Shah one that both Artaxerex and Faranbazu edit warred at and the other article is Hassan Arsanjani which was started by Faranbazu before he got banned indefinately.

For note: as pointed out in previous RFCUs Artaxerex has said that "I have asked some students of mine to watch the article, for disturbing propaganda and historical distortions." [2]. So even if IP doesn't match there is a good chance of meat puppetry. In case of this being confirmed as true, this may warrant an indefinate block of Artaxerex because of long-time abuse and disruption. Regards, --Rayis 20:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
