I have been piping the FC in articles as it is general practice, User:Josepolivares has in the past undone my edits without provding an explanation as to why and has recently come back from a 1 month block for edit warring. Recently my edits have been reverted by an IP 168.232.43.149  which I believe to be Josepolivares editing while logged out.

As seen in the Contributions of the IP they are changing the exact content that Josepolivares is reverting. I believe that in some way the accounts are related to each other -- 🐇 ChocolateRabbit 22:58, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

We don't publicly disclose the IP(s) of named accounts. CU declined.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:17, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Josepolivares resumed disruption immediately after their fourth block expired. I'm noticing a pattern of persistent, long-term edit-warring and refusal to communicate. It's clear these short-term blocks are having no effect, so it's time for an indef. Autoblock should cover the IP. Sro23 (talk) 05:10, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Since you posted your request, Jose has been blocked for three months. I'm therefore closing this. An indefinite block will have to wait for next time if his pattern continues.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:01, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Requesting CU in case it is a sock of Josepolivares.

Having seeing their contributions, it is evident that the user keeps reverting the piping of FC Barcelona - examples:, and  plus some edit summaries of 'sock puppet' ,  and  which is fair enough. History in the past proves that both Josepolivares & ChocolateRabbit, who is actually AH999, have been edit warring between piping and unpiping over the last few months. Just for an added measure, the most recent sock of AHH999 has been undoing many of Andreasthaler's edits, re-piping the FC Barcelona link -, , and  among others. I have been monitoring Marc-Andre ter Stegen page since I was registered here back in September 2017 and I have noticed back in November 2017 that the pipe-war occurred there.

Also, there was an edit warring discussion by Josepolivares and ChocolateRabbit there discussing the pipe/no-pipe scenario.

I will be keeping tabs on the Barcelona players by watching the related changes on the FC Barcelona template.

Summarise: The behaviour of the possible sockpuppeteer & Josepolivares are users reverting AH999's edits re piping/unpiping of FC Barcelona. Iggy (Swan) 19:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Per block logs for both users, they have been blocked for edit warring regarding pipes. Such examples from both accounts are diffs 1, 2 and 3 by the sockmaster and 4, 5 and 6 by the linked sock here. Quite recently, the linked user has made an edit summary in Portuguese in which an IP address was edit warring back in February this year, I see that it is located in Brazil, in a region neighbouring Sao Paulo - the location where the football club is located where the pipe warring is well under way. Since the location of the IP address and the linked user is Portuguese based, I suspect these may be the same user as Josepolivares.

According to an article's page history, it looks like Hernanes is the prime target for edit warring between various sock users and IPs and I've used two differences from each linked user in this investigation. Iggy (Swan) (What I've been doing to maintain Wikipedia) 18:01, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Ducking. Same unpiping of the football club in lede from São Paulo to São Paulo FC, that against Naming conventions (sports teams) (many RM did not follow that guideline is another thing. I don't see any discussion thread in Talk:Alexandre Pato). Compare Special:Diff/907450716 by Fcbjuvenil the sock (omitting recurring revert) with diff by ip: Special:Diff/935102341.

 * Note to admin. At least one ip is active in the last 24 hours and attacked Éverton Cardoso da Silva page. May list more ip from the range to ask the possibility of ip range block (or refer the issue to ANI to resolve). Matthew hk (talk) 07:18, 11 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Also, for Éverton Cardoso da Silva's diff: Special:Diff/926126998, Special:Diff/933301617, Special:Diff/935182011. Matthew hk (talk) 07:25, 11 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Second note: Well he seem used two different ISP from Brazil. Matthew hk (talk) 08:12, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Hernanes Stuani  Alexandre Pato Unpiping of FC in football related articles at Hernanes Cristhian Stuani and Alexandre Pato, clear consensus located at the WikiProject football is to pipe out the 'FC' in such articles]] DESK JOVI (talk) 22:17, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Also posting comments on the talk pages of similar users such as 'ST47 with very similar wording where a previous sock Fcbjuvenil also posted to the same users talk page, see Fcbjuvenil's here and Extralager's here,

There's also a possible link when you refer to the editor interaction — Preceding unsigned comment added by DESK JOVI (talk • contribs) 22:28, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
