KurdîmHeval is a sockpuppeteer initially blocked for nationalist edit-warring and personal attacks. They mainly make disruptive unsourced changes on pages related to the Middle East, especially biographies of celebrities and historical figures. This includes adding Kurdish ethnic origins to such articles by falsifying, removing, or not providing a source.

Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]

  • Biographical articles of celebrities and historical figures from the Middle East (specifically Turkey, Iraq, Egypt, etc.)
  • PKK-related articles (biographies or articles on clashes)

Habitual behavior[edit]

  • LTA may also add unsourced or poorly-sourced Turkish origins to such articles. Example:[2]
  • Addition of copyrighted non-free photos. Example: [3]
