On the talk page for "potential superpowers" there are multiple entries that appear to be by the same user utilizing different IP addresses. All entries take the same strident position on the subject of what constitutes a political "superpower" and all using the same poor English in a way that makes the sockpuppetry rather obvious. Some of these accounts have been blocked for disruptive editing along the way. Other editors in that discussion suggested that the IP user(s) get a username, but this was ignored. All of these IP accounts were started within a week of each other (Sept. 9 to Sept. 16 of this year). Additionally, there are four IP accounts used on the talk page of Antiochus the Great, one of which overlaps with those in the superpowers article talk page and the other three of which do not, but again, it is pretty clear from things like the style of English used and ethnic identities claimed that this is the same individual (these particular edits are not disruptive, but I am trying to note as many of the associated IP addresses as I reasonably can; Antiochus apparently ignored all of them). Back in 2013 another IP address was used to repeatedly edit the article on Middle power as well as the article on potential superpower and violated WP:3RR. Again, the same broken English was used and the same editing style was applied by this IP user until a block was implemented. KDS 4444 Talk  07:39, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
