User:Bergeronpp is a 15-month editor focused on sports including MLS (soccer) and politicians. There are 8 distinct, disruptive editing related discussions at User talk:Bergeronpp to date.

Today, there was a flare up at New England Revolution with long-time editor User:Walter Görlitz around image particulars

Sequence of those consecutive edits:
 * 21:32, 14 June 2021 - 2601:5c4:4301:5420:8437:3436:3067:464a - Adds image
 * 22:17, 14 June 2021 - Walter Görlitz - removes same
 * 22:20, 14 June 2021 - 2601:5c4:4301:5420:8437:3436:3067:464a - Reverts
 * 22:39, 14 June 2021 - Bergeronpp - Adds caption to same
 * 23:25, 14 June 2021 - Walter Görlitz - Removes all
 * 23:48, 14 June 2021 - Bergeronpp - Re-adds all
 * 00:08, 15 June 2021 - Walter Görlitz - Removes all

Dispute moves to User talk:Walter Görlitz with an ugly WP:NPA that should/will go to WP:ANI:
 * 00:17, 15 June 2021 - Bergeronpp - NPA
 * 01:16, 15 June 2021 - Bergeronpp

Then, new user Special:Contributions/Online scribatorian is created at 01:23, 15 June 2021
 * Edits article of a politician with second edit
 * Vandalizes Boston College Eagles football with third edit " If the NCAA doesn't recognize it, why is it even worth mentioning? Hell, the school finished #5 in the AP Poll (according to the table)"
 * Then pivots to MLS articles, images, and uses advanced edits (WP:DUCK) ,,
 * Then dormant from 04:24, 15 June 2021
 * Bergeronpp reappears for 4 edits including images from 04:09, 15 June 2021 to 04:11, 15 June 2021.

Lastly, Bergeronpp also previously made DE edits at Boston College Eagles football in April 2020 with similar content and comments
 * Adds AP Poll / "Not major (ONLY major at this time was the AP Poll )"
 * "rv my previous edit, NCAA does not recognize national title "
 * Adds AP Poll / "added final ranking from each major selector"

So in total:
 * Creation of sock and revisits content authored by the Master
 * Using Master, sock, and IP to edit war/DE over the same content
 * Concurrent use of Master and sock at 4:00
 * Based on above, I suspect CHECKUSER will find additional socks, likely around MLS
 * SPI results seem likely be referenced at (unfiled) ANI. UW Dawgs (talk) 07:03, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

 * I suspected the same. Was going to wait for ANI on the NPA before I dug deeper though. Thanks to UW Dawgs. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:10, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * may also be related, but the evidence is less clear. The editor started to add images to US sport articles after I began commenting that CU linked the master and puppet, but the account was created many years ago. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:10, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Bump. It would be good to get an admin to act. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:13, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
 * More than ten days since CU confirmed association and no action on either account and both are still editing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:39, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

 * ✅: . . If you want a check on Conman33, you'll need some solid diffs in a new section. Thanks for looking into this. Closing. Best, KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 23:23, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
