Basic information

Tirgil34 (talk · contribs · block log · arb · SPI confirmed suspected)
Comprehensive edits analysis
Tirgil34 is a user who has been active on Wikipedia since at least December 2011. He was indefinitely blocked on 5 September 2012, but has continued his disruptive editing on Wikipedia through more than a hundred socks ever since.

Targeted areas, pages, themes

Persistent spreading of fringe theories about Central Asian history, Indo-European culture, Turkic peoples and related subjects, which is done through tendentious misrepresentation of sources, personal attacks, edit warring and sockpuppetry. Primary topics of focus are racial theories, genetics and linguistics, especially etymology. His primary agenda is to push a Turkic origin of various ancient cultures and peoples. He also appears to have an interest in Jews/Israel/Zionism, of which he seems to be critical. He has also been pushing the same agenda on Wikipedia's in other languages and Wiktionary and Commons. Articles targeted (often including talk pages) include:

Notes on off-wiki behavior

It is recommended to index material added by suspected socks of Tirgil34 through Google or some other search engine in look for clues as per WP:OTHERSITES.

The Apricity

Tirgil34 is the same person as Kipchak Håkan/Kipchak Hakan (now calling himself Proto-Shaman) at the The Apricity, a "racialist" forum. Compare this post by Kipchak Håkan[283] where he cites material uploaded by Tirgil34 sock Agaceri at Huvishka and Kanishka just hours earlier.[284] [285] Also compare this post by TheApricity user SkyEarth about "evil Turco-Mongol women raped Iranic Scythian men and created modern Turkic peoples"[286] with the post by confirmed Tirgil34 sock Bolanile at Talk:Scythian languages.[287] It is likely that Tirgil34/Kipchak Håkan has many "sockpuppets" on the TheApricity and other places. He is probably coordinating his editing activity on Wikipedia with friends from those forums.

Antisemitism and Armenian Genocide denial

At The Apricity, Kipchak Håkan has been promoting more than just Turanist fringe theories. Equipped with a profile picture of Wehrmacht general Heinz Guderian, Kipchak Håkan has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories,[288] [289] [290] the Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory [291] and Armenian Genocide denial,[292] [293] [294] [295] [296] compared Adolf Hitler to Jesus [297] and cited antisemitic articles by Holocaust denier Ron Unz.[298]

Youtube

The Youtube account ✣ Tengri • Spirit of the Steppe ✣ (IdelUralState) belongs to the same person as Tirgil34. Like Tirgil34 the account promotes similar Turanist theories. At the video Central Asian Civilizations – Nomads throughout History (Kazakhstan), the text below refers to content on wiktionary which was added by Tirgil34 sock Hirabutor.[299] Tirgil34's account at TheApricity Kipchak Håkan has posted the exact same material as the youtube account at the forum.[300] The video Sakha folk song - Amazon warriors • "Кönül Sanaa", contains a link to an edit[301] by one of Tirgil's German IP socks[302] [303] which restores content by Tirgil sock Su4kin.[304] Another video, King Arthur's Turkic Knights - The Sarmatians (Remake), contains multiple links to TurkicWorld, and also a link to this image edited by numerous Tirgil socks, including Tirgil sock Nedbud. The very same image is also uploaded[305] at The Apricity by the user Kipchak Hakan.

Tengri • Spirit of the Steppe has been making similar attacks[306][307][308] against Wikipedia editors as socks of Tirgil34 has done at Wikipedia.[309][310]

Fandom

Tirgil34 created and edits a wiki[311] on Fandom/Wikia.

TurkicWorld

Tirgil34/KipchakHåkan seems to be using this pseudoscientific blog-turkicworld.org, run by Norm Kisamov, who owns the Wikipedia account Barefact,[312] as a source of information.[313] [314]

Other

Tirgil34 is also probably the same as Temple of Time at Historum.

The user CagatayKhan at TWCenter.net links to both Wikipedia content added by Tirgil34, forum posts by Kipchak Håkan at TheApricity and Youtube videos by ✣ Tengri • Spirit of the Steppe ✣, and is thus probably also the same person.[315] [316] [317]

Other likely affiliates include the Facebook account History of Turan Nations and the Liveleak account cloverfield25.
