There is an ongoing content dispute at Banu Qurayza involving Arief1982 trying to alter some content in the article and being told that they need to gain consensus on the talk page to implement their change. Arief1982 changed the article to their preferred version twice  and were reverted both times telling them to get consensus for their changes on the talk page. The next day Rakha Varsen turns up and makes the exact same edit as Arief1982 the minute their account was created claiming that they were doing it "per the talk page" - a discussion they had never contributed to. Seems to be a case of an editor creating a sock to continue edit warring and to give the impression of a false consensus. 192.76.8.74 (talk) 05:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

 * - this does indeed look like a sock created to win an edit war.  Girth Summit  (blether)  20:31, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

 * I note potential proxy use which may be affecting the results, so its not overly straightforward I'm afraid:
 * are strongly ✅ to each other.
 * , however, appears entirely ❌ to the above group.


 * In this case, before blocking/tagging. ~TNT (she/they • talk) 00:47, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm closing without action - one of the connected accounts has never edited, and there is no overlap in the articles edited by the other two (although they do appear to have similar subject interests). I'll drop a note on the talk page suggesting that they declare a connection between alt accounts.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:05, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
