I suspect and  may be one and the same person. This edit was made by Funkinwolf today to the page 2017 Finsbury Park attack, with the argument there is consensus for the change they wish to make. I then reverted it in the belief the change was unnecessary, only to have it restored again moments later. As the change is controversial, I then opened a discussion on the talk page. While I was doing so the edit was partially restored by Erzan, who I noted was making their first edit on here since December. I smelt a rat so reverted the change again. Erzan then reverted my revert, using a strikingly similar argument to Funkinwolf. Erzan then posted this comment on my talk page. Both have a history of edit warring (indeed, I have encountered Erzan on a previous article), and I suspect because of the nature of what happened today they may be connected. It is my belief that when the Funkinwolf account was challenged on the second occasion, he/she logged out of that account and logged in as Erzan. Funkinwolf is also a relatively new account, having made their first edit on 17 January, but there was very little activity from it until a few days ago. In those few days it has already been reprimanded for edit warring. This is Paul (talk) 13:45, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Given the overlap in interests and similar communication style, I've blocked Funkinwolf indefinitely and Erzan for three days. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:20, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
