Suspected sockpuppets

A set of IPs started adding BLP violations and WP:COATRACKing the article Abdulhadi H. Taher by adding content about non notable family of the personality in the article and have been editing warring and reverting content, asking other IP and editor users to go to talk page while not gaining consensus first. The sole aim was edit warring their version in and all IPs are edit warring on the same parts of content. Eventually the article got protected and the edit war stopped but there is a bigger problem that I see. These 4 IP ranges I am reporting (there might be more in the article history from before February maybe) are either a single person or meat puppets. All these are publicly viewable similarities which establish that the same is using multiple IPs to project that there are multiple people involved to sway consensus. That is called sock pupetting on wikiepdia and is recognizable in evidence below.

Comparison#1: using the words fair game or implying their edits are fair and therefore they should stay (instead of getting consensus)

A. 210.185.107.32 says in the edit summary "Go to talk. Multiple parties think this is fair game." 

B. 210.185.107.32 also says in the edit summary "his information clearly mentions Abdulhadi Taher interfering in the prosecution of his son. This is fair information. Open a seperate thread on talk if you would like to discuss. But you need to discontinue disruptive editing." 

C. 49.181.166.52 claims that he is "New here" in his first message. however, uses the term "fair" in context to his material / content in a similar writing style in his comments: which shows him that he is not "new" here and is the same person as 210.

Comparison#2: All socks calling what is clearly a content dispute as vandalism.

A. (first line)

B. (edit summary)

C. (edit summary)

Comparison#3: All socks telling editors to go to talk page for discussion right while they have reverted back to their preferred version of the article.

A.

B.

C.

D.

Comparison#4: the IPs are accusing opponents of "conflation" of issues

A.

B. (edit summary]

These IPs have been changing and all ranges are implying that each is a different person with atleast one clearly saying that he is new here which means this are in no way automatic changes in IP addresses. Infact IPs are from both egypt and australia which means these cant automatically change. This is intentional sock puppetting.

The article is already protected but talk pages need to be saved from sock puppetting so that real users can edit the article without disruptive activities. Ibrabra1 (talk) 09:06, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
