Suspected sockpuppets

Yesterday, Aristotele1982 makes seven reverts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) over the course of about a day on Patriarchy, including a large criticism section and changing the lead to make the word appear like a recent neologism and to emphasise sex differences in humans - this appears like POV-pushing and needs consensus on a talk page (which I make clear to the user here, here and here).

Despite my report to WP:3RR after the fourth reversion, still nothing has been done almost 24 hours later.

Anyway, to the sockpuppetting. An IP who has only made one other edit makes several edits to Patriarchy, adding back Aristotele1982's content, including one with the summary "I support the previous, it contained valuable additions and helped me through the reading. Please do not revert. thanks". This is a transparent lie, and most IPs are not intricately aware of how page histories on Wikipedia work before they edit. Note that the IP's other edit was to History of science, made on the same day as Aristotele1982's edit to the page (which was their only edit that month).

Then, Aristotele1982 socks again with, a username clearly along the same theme as their own, and whose only two edits are this one, which pushes the same POV content as Aristotele1982, and this threat directed at me, which shows the user has extensive knowledge of the recent edit war. — Bilorv(c)(talk) 10:17, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

More weirdness today:

I was responding to this comment by Aristotele. This is my reply:. Then, Flavius responds instead, (did Aristole forget to change accounts?). In any case, both of these users exhibit a pattern of not knowing how to indent over their comment replies, and reply without indenting.

Then there's this new series of reverts where Aristotele alternates between three accounts to circumvent 3RR: . – FenixFeather (talk) (Contribs) 01:08, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
