On 1 Jun 17 here user Babak2000ir made an edit to replace two occurences of "Gulf War" with "Persian Gulf War". The edit was reverted (by me). On 9 Jun 17, here IP user 151.240.179.241 made the same edit, which was reverted. On 14 Jun 17 here user Sorena Anonym made their only contribution to WP by making the same textual changes together with 2 further changes of "Gulf War" to "Persian Gulf War". I don't know if these 3 editors are the same; a technical investigation is requested. This editing is disruptive and against consensus of the common name of the subject.

 * You mention "technical investigation"; this can be done through Checkuser. Would you like to request this? Thanks, GABgab 21:32, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Based on the timing of the account creation I'm not convinced. was created on May 3rd. The disputed edit made by  was made on June 5th. It would be odd behaviour to create a sock account a month before an edit is made just in case that edit is reverted. As I can't make any direct checkuser comments regarding the IP I'm declining CU in this case. If there is additional evidence of a connection between the accounts the investigation can be reopened at that time. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  18:02, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
