Pretty duckish POV-pushing and edit warring to describe the same mosque as the largest mosque for the past 2 weeks. In particular, they keep editing the lead to say that, as evidenced in these edits: 1, 2, and 3. What caught my eye was that 2 and 3 are virtually identical to each other and those two edits took place within an hour and a half of each other. Additionally, Essence of Transcendence's account was created on 28 June (according to CA), just before Editor.Eqbal started edit warring with on the article and shortly before the matter was taken to AN/I (thread). Botshekan's was created 2 hours ago today. OhKayeSierra (talk) 19:43, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

 * All three accounts editwar to add a mention of the Imam Reza Shrine being the world's largest mosque to the lead of List of largest mosques


 * Essence of Transcendence and Botshekan both began editing today and both edited the above article almost immediately


 * Essence of Transcendence restored a reverted edit by Botshekan on Ali al-Ridha


 * Essence of Transcendence and Botshekan both use the specific phrase "adequately reliable" to describe sources in their edit summaries


 * Despite being inactive for two weeks beforehand, Editor.Eqbal replied to and agreed with Essence of Transcendence's message on Talk:List of largest mosques within hours of it being posted Alivardi   (talk)  20:54, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you everyone. It doesn’t matter anymore but I would like to mention that the edit warring by Editor.Eqbal started before my intervention at List of largest mosques. Idell (talk) 08:46, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
