On the Barelvi article User:BiKaz was blocked for slow edit-warring. User:777EVIL10 continues the edit war after the block. Similar but more complicated edits to the article on Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi made by BiKaz, 777EVIL10 and an IP. Interestingly the 777EVIL10 ID started his/her edits to Ahmed Raza Khan Barelvi before BiKaz's block.

Please can we have a check user. It would come as no surprise if this editor had used other accounts before these ones.

Article on Barelvi BiKaz engaged in a slow edit-war concerning the Barelvi#Criticism section - see [1] Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring and was blocked for 60 hours at 10:45 on 17 September 2015

• All accounts, including the master, blocked and tagged. I semi-protected one more article. I didn't block either of the two listed IPs. The individual uses a lot of IPs, and to the extent possible, semi-protection, even of Talk pages, is probably a better way to go. That said, any clerk of administrator is free to block an IP who becomes significantly disruptive. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:29, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

TheDestroyer10 and Bikaz and his/her sockpuppets have edited the following pages:

• Ash'ari: BiKaZ DiZonCaVello edit and TheDestroyer10 edits
• Shaykh al-Islām BiKaz edits and TheDestroyer10 edits
• Muhammad Metwally El-Shaarawy BiKaz edits and TheDestroyer10 edit
• Muhammad al-Tahir ibn Ashur BiKaz edits and TheDestroyer10 edit
• Ahmed Deedat Bikaz edit and TheDestroyer10 edit
• Mustafa Mahmoud BiKaz edits and TheDestroyer10 edit
• Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari BiKaz edit and TheDestroyer10 edits
• Zakariyya al-Ansari BiKaz edit and TheDestroyer10 edits

However, I think the most significant evidence for TheDestroyer10 being a sockpuppet of BiKaz is that they both have a similar writing style:

This is what TheDestroyer10 writes in Talk:Mujaddid: "Anyway, this is not the problem here, I can find other sources. PLEASE check the sources of these names: Moinuddin Chishti, Ibn Arabi, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani. They may be great scholars, but they are not mujaddids" and "As for your question about the failed verification tags, the answer is simply because their sources are FAKE".

The following is what BiKaz writes on the same page but much earlier: "YES, I have RELIABLE sources! :) As for Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni, Moinuddin Chishti & Ibn Arabi: have FAKE sources!"

Not only that they have similar views, but It must be noted that both have the urge to capitalize words in unnecessary situations,e.g. FAKE, PLEASE etc.

Also both are relatively heavily involved in moving pages. For this see their entire editing history. --Peaceworld 11:41, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
