Azeri nationalist continuously disrupting the Iraqi Turkmen article. At first, this user was misrepresenting several sources in the language section under the name of "User: John Francis Templeson" (JFT) (see here, for example). Once I pointed out that some of these sources were contradictory to their edits, a "new" user came onto the scene (i.e. User:Ulvimamedov57) who used exactly the same sources as "JFT" but without the sources that I had pointed out as contradictory. They then went to the extreme of describing the Iraqi Turkmen as an Azeri community (see [1] [2]).
Having looked at their editing history, it is evident that both accounts are interested in similar articles. I would not be surprised if there are many more accounts by this user: "JFT" last edited in May 2017 and Ulvimamedov57 last edited in August 2018. Suddenly both reappear on the same week on the same article, surely a sock puppet? Selçuk Denizli (talk) 12:10, 16 March 2019 (UTC) Selçuk Denizli (talk) 12:10, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

- CheckUser requested - It's rather suspicious that both accounts activated to edit war, and both refer to the other party's edits as "vandalism". It might be illegitimate socking, or possibly just tag-team editing / off-wiki canvassing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 04:42, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
- Unrelated. See also Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Qara xan.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:25, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

All three accounts are pushing for the same Azeri nationalist agenda on Iraqi Turkmen. As I said in my previous case, it is unusual that User:John Francis Templeson and User:Ulvimamedov57 are editing on the very same article after such a long time off Wikipedia. Both have similar editing patterns ([3]) After the previous sockpuppet case was closed, a new account was opened "User:Cangevar" which has only edited once and it is on Iraqi Turkmen, pushing for the same Azeri nationalist agenda [4]. I hope this will be taken seriously. Selçuk Denizli (talk) 17:47, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
