Special:Contributions/MHS1976 is a 2008 editor heavily involved in WKU content including:


 * Western Kentucky Hilltoppers football
 * Western Kentucky Hilltoppers basketball

Specifically re SOCK, MHS1976 would like to remove usage of "era" from the "History" section of the WKU foootball article, which right or wrong, is against current Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football‎ conventions.
 * Removal of "era" ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
 * May - Mutiple DE warning re History section
 * 20:59, 13 June 2018 - Flagged for edit warring
 * 03:24, 15 June 2018 - Taken to ANI (1st)
 * 05:28, 15 June 2018 - Told by an Admin to stop edit warring
 * 21:50, 6 July 2018 - Taken to Ani again (2nd, by me with no outcome)

Special:Contributions/9AVia9 edits:
 * Created 2018-07-06 20:22 and first edit at 2018-07-06 20:23 (1 minute later)
 * All edits to date are on Western Kentucky Hilltoppers football
 * First five edits are reverts to Western Kentucky Hilltoppers football
 * The seventh edit introduces an atypical two-levels of nesting in the History section ( ==History==, ===Sub===, ====Sub sub==== ). Specifically, MHS1976 first created this unusual group of coaches under an athletic director (Jimmy Feix) " ===The Jimmy Feix era (1948–1988)=== " and 9AVia9 then recreated that exact format with Feix in their seventh edit.
 * Account then goes dormant

In total
 * 1) The WKU football article is generally stable, with low edits prior to May
 * 2) MHS1976 is deeply engaged in editing the WKU football article in a very specific manner re era/headers, including resorting to DE, edit warring, and ANI escalation
 * 3) 9AVia9 appears and within one minute is demonstrating the technical sophistication to access the article history and selectively revert edits which align with MHS1976; Not the expected behavior of a new user
 * 4) 9AVia9 concludes the editing session by nesting section/subsections in a manner identical to MHS1976's earlier edit
 * 5) 67.134.58.222 makes a lone edit to the History section in a manner identical to MHS1976's many era edits
 * 6) 206.74.210.238 makes a lone edit the History section in a manner identical to MHS1976's many era  edits

Comment
 * Despite being an editor since 2008, MHS1976 does not readily engage in article Talk even when pinged Talk:Western Kentucky Hilltoppers football. So if SOCK is shown, it's clear how we got here due to frustration/inability to resolve via Talk. However if SOCK is proven, MHS1976 posting of a 'Thank you' to 9AVia9  would be an overt attempt to cover their tracks which is less understandable. UW Dawgs (talk) 20:30, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
