Trying to remove information and images of articles related to Persepolis in Persian and English Wikipedia. Also, they have edited each other user pages in the Persian Wikipedia (see this page history: UserPage) and have similar editing interests (About some related Esteghlal -in AFC- and Persepolis topics). As soon as there is a problem, all three are activated together and delete others' edits. There can be many more accounts running by this guy. Maybe about 10 or more.

Master: 2021Porto Final User 1: 1984Olympic in Tehran User 2: We still alive User 3: Mohammad tokyo kerman User 4: Piddfv User 5: 83.123.153.71 User 6: 83.123.0.225 User 7: 83.123.222.83 User 8: 83.122.240.125 User 9: 83.122.162.17 User 10: 83.123.254.12 User 11: 37.129.191.211 User 12: 83.123.108.92 User 13: 83.123.73.137 User 14: 83.122.171.52

Behaviour: All socks have edited flight crash articles to add make-believe Iranian passenger deaths, and/or photos of mostly Iranian aircraft to aircraft articles (which have been reverted as the change is undiscussed). Most, if not all of their edits get reverted. Then, the original sock that had their edit reverted, they might revert the revert, or get one of their other socks to revert the revert.

All IP users from Iran.

Some socks, including the master have also edited Iranian sport-related articles in addition to the flight/aircraft edits, e.g. Master: Special:Diff/1156340815, User 14: Special:Diff/1155683363. This is how User 14 has been linked (along with one lone edit on EgyptAir Flight 804).

All other users are linked to each other directly and/or indirectly to each other and to the master. If this makes it easier: Users 4 and 6 edited the same article as User 5. Users 5 and 7 edited the same article as User 2. User 2 edited the same article as Master.

I believe that Drmies blocked User:Ava.baran200 under this case as well, but I didn’t definitively report this user as I didn’t think the evidence was sufficient. Fork99 (talk) 21:12, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks,, what about Piddfv?--Bbb23 (talk) 13:55, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Bbb23, I looked at that one again this morning, and while I don't remember, I am sure that I didn't see evidence of socking or I would have blocked. Plus, the username is very different. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:45, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Special:Diff/1160173420: called me an asshole in the edit summary too. Same behaviour as before. CU requested as I think this is definitely a possibility for a long term abuse case, and to link the IPs with the user accounts. Fork99 (talk) 21:07, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
