Suspected sockpuppets

These two users and two IPs are all making the exact same disruptive edits using the same arguments/language. First I'll describe to you the disruptive edits. The user is removing a perfectly well-sourced section about the rivalry between Iraq and Iran football teams from the Iran national football team page simply because he disagrees with the multiple sources in the section. Secondly, the user is removing a match between Iraq and Iran that ended 1-0 to Iraq earlier this year from the Iran national football team results and Iran national football team results (2010–19) pages, even though this match is listed on FIFA.com (and all other sources on these pages also list it as an Iran national team match).

Now onto why I think these two users and two IPs are the same person. IranianLeague said "South Korea and Saudi Arabia are the closest teams as rivals to Iran". WisperShadow goes on to say "Iranians only consider Saudi Arabia by far and South Korea in lesser extend as football rivals in AFC region" and "We only see South Korea and Saudi Arabia as our rivals.". Three different times he mentions the exact same thing using two different accounts.

IranianLeague also says "Iranian team is much higher than Iraq in achievement and head to head results." and WisperShadow goes on to say "Even if you count these matches as your victory it is like 4 wins for you and 14 for Iran." so in both cases these two different accounts use the exact same argument (head-to-head record) to deny the rivalry. Furthermore, IranianLeague refers to me as "a vandal Iraqi member" and WisperShadow goes on to say the exact same thing..

Just take a look at IranianLeague's contributions and WisperShadow's contributions. Almost all of both users' contributions are to do with the exact same issue about the Iraq rivalry or Iran match. Surely if they were two different people their edits would not be all about the exact same issues.

Now onto the IPs. These two IPs both start with "2601:2C6:4C80:4490" so it's likely to be the same person. Both IPs have been removing the aforementioned Iran-Iraq match from the page at the same time as WisperShadow. He also used an IP to try and circumvent the three-revert rule. Here are the IPs edits including one from today:.

Furthermore, IranianLeague, WisperShadow and one of the IPs all used the exact same language on one occasion proving they are the same person. IranianLeague says "a vandal Iraqi member is keep adding a POV section", WisperShadow says "It is called POV editing", and one of the IPs says "Removing POV". Also, on that last diff I quoted, the IP is editing the 2008–09 Iraqi Premier League, a page that just so happened to be my most recent edit before today and a page that is almost solely edited by me. So clearly this IP knows me and has a problem with me, just as IranianLeague and WisperShadow. It could not be more obvious.

I am not the only one to have a problem with this user. User:Fenix down, User:Mohsen1248 and User:Vanjagenije have all warned this user about this issue. He was warned that he will be blocked if he continues making disruptive edits and sockpuppeting but didn't listen and I hope that his disruptiveness finally comes to an end and he is blocked.

 * Note: As I was typing this up, a new IP has come and removed the Iran Iraq match once again. This IP also starts with "2601:2C6:4C80:4490" and is clearly the same as the others. Hashim-afc (talk) 21:12, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Note 2: Another IP starting with "2601:2C6:4C80:4490" has made a disruptive edit, adding in an Iran player into the 1980 AFC Asian Cup all-star XI that wasn't actually in the XI. Clearly the same pro-Iran editor as before. Hashim-afc (talk) 22:09, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
