Suspected sockpuppets
The story begins with User:Ligerblack, who was created on 14 December. About half an hour after their creation, they removed content from the pages Oruç Reis (diff), Yakup Ağa (diff), and Hayreddin Barbarossa (diff), and also rephrased the relevant section (essentially changed the order of some words) in an attempt to push a certain POV regarding the subjects' origin, with total disregard for WP:NPOV. All three edits were reverted by (diff1, diff2, and diff3, respectively). No subsequent edits were made by User:Ligerblack; but, eight days later, on 22 December, User:Golserr was created. Five minutes after the latter's creation, they tried to push the same POV in the page of Yakup Ağa (diff), as User:Ligerblack had done previously. Five days later, on 27 December, User:Golserr continued with their second and last edit in the page of Oruç Reis; likewise, they attempted to push the same POV as User:Ligerblack. The next day, on 28 December, User:Tysongodest was created, and one minute later they made their first and only edit in the page of Hayreddin Barbarossa; trying to push the same POV as User:Ligerblack. I am not active on a daily basis, and only today i managed to find some time to review my watchlist, noticing the aforementioned behavior. Initially, I thought a warning that combined the templates of and  would be more appropriate than filing an SPI report. However, following the creation of the last account (User:Tysongodest), and assuming my suspicions are correct, then this is obviously an illegit use of multiple accounts; i doubt they forgot their password(s), didn't like their username(s), or just wanted a clean start (or clean starts).
