I have come to believe that User:Qjahid is using User:Usaeedi as a sockpuppet. The reason to doubt so was when i noticed Qjahid's entry on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egyptian Revolution of 2013 where they claimed to be a contributor to "ps.wikipedia.org" so i decided to take a look at their global account manager and it appears this user made zero contributions to the Pashto Wikipedia unlike what they claim. I then decided to take a look at Usaeedi's contributions where i noticed they have an interest in common with Qjahid (Afghanistan), but that's not the case. I then checked Usaeedi's global account manager and it turns out this user made 22 contributions to the Pashto Wikipedia. Usaeedi never made any contribution to events related to the Egyptian Revolution of 2013 or the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état. Their only Egypt-related contribution was in the AfD nomination of Egyptian Revolution of 2013 just minutes after Qjahid's entry where they both voted the same way (possible abuse). And considering Usaeedi being a new account with very few contributions in the English Wikipedia, i find it quite surprising they noticed the recent AfD nomination pretty fast like that. Is it simply a coincidence? Because i smell something fishy about this. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 20:43, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Note: The two users in question have both contributed with their votes in a current AfD discussion (see here). Fitzcarmalan (talk) 14:41, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
- Note 2: Both don't know yet how to sign their entries. You will notice the signatures are the same when looking at the date in the AfD discussion. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 07:39, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

- @Native Foreigner - Is it good faith when an editor uses 2 accounts to vote the same way in an AfD nomination? Isn't that a sockpuppet abuse? → Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egyptian Revolution of 2013
- +They have immediately removed your entry from their talk page with no explanation. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 09:18, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- +The sock (Qjahid) acted disruptively for a while by moving certain pages without consensus. They also attempted to vandalize my user page once [1] [2], in addition to a WP:Personal attack on my talk page which i don't see complying with WP:AGF. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 11:12, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Confirmed but the users appear to be acting in good faith. As such I've dropped a message on their talk pages. NativeForeigner Talk 18:04, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Administrator note They seem to have more competence than faith issues, in my opinion. That being said as a result of the last few actions I indef blocked Qjahid. NativeForeigner Talk 19:44, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
Administrator note Although it appears that the editor has indeed abused multiple accounts, it appears that it was done out of ignorance that than maliciousness. One of the accounts has been indefinitely blocked, so as long as the editor doesn't create more accounts and sticks to the unblocked account (and doesn't engage in further disruption of another kind) then things should be fine. I'm closing this case as no further action should be required. -- Atama頭 19:18, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
