On 3 August 2018, IP "176.11.30.97" changed "Iranian" to "Iranian Kurdish". A few minutes later, after the IP was reverted, brand new user "Arieh AAA", with zero contributions, reinstated the exact same edit, and used a similar edit summary (in terms of content and English proficiency). It seems that the IP created the account in order to evade scrunity, in order to push the same POV on the same article. - LouisAragon (talk) 01:19, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Sole purpose: adding the desired words by the means of edit-warring and socking. - LouisAragon (talk) 01:32, 3 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Perhaps not "classic sockpuppetry" in the way that a registered account is the main culprit, but the person in question, i.e. the owner of the IP, obviously created the account in order to pursue the same disruptive edits on the same article (i.e. to evade scrunity and to create an illusion of support). Anyways, sure, I'll move it to another venue. Thanks for your prompt reply, - LouisAragon (talk) 02:49, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Possibly linked to user:Serchia, who tried to push the same POV on the same article. Serchia got warned by Ponyo for this irrelevant addition of "Kurdish" : and comment of the admin was : "Stop spreading pro-Kurdish misinformation:  anchor ref to section" : .---Wikaviani (talk) 01:50, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm actually just going to close this outright. A previously unregistered editor signing up for an account is not sockpuppetry. Please report any disruptive editing through the usual channels (WP:AIV, WP:ANI, WP:AN3 etc.) Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:36, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
