- Evidence
- Several single-issue reverts on Bahá'u'lláh where a long-standing consensus has been to include the portrait at the bottom of the page. Believers are not supposed to view this photo indiscriminately, so some will try to remove it from the article. This is a burst of anon edits in a really short time. Sock puppetry is certainly suspect.

- It think it's pretty clear that this is a believer pushing POV and needs a ban. MARussellPESE (talk) 22:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
- I became involved with this user in the Persian war elephants article, and am both annoyed and mystified by his behaviour: he falsely claimed to be an administrator, tried to promote the elephants article to GA without even bothering with the proper procedure, deleted comments from other users in talk pages, and vandalized my userpage. However, he did later apologize after I presented my view clearly. He also claims to be a professor in Persian history, although his main contribution (the Persian elephants article) is mostly a rambling pastiche from other WP articles. Now I see he has awarded himself a barnstar, and apparently has engaged in POV-pushing in other articles as well. He has also created a spoken word edition of the elephants article, only it is not an audio file, but a copy of the article itself. His overall behaviour seems however to suggest that he is completely ignorant of any rules of editing in Wikipedia, or indeed what tools he has at his disposal in order to contribute here. I suspect he has not even read the rules prohibiting the use of several accounts. At this stage, I am therefore rather for a strong (but last) warning and a firm suggestion to read through the project's guidelines before continuing his edits, rather than a block.
