On April 30, 2020, IP made the following edit to the lede of Nuon Chea:. On May 2, 2020, removed it, calling it an "unnecessary addition to the longstanding lede." . Since then, IP users have made the following diffs re-inserting the exact same line into the lede, all without consensus.

The edits are entirely identical and have mostly happened within minutes of the previous one, which leads me to believe they are being done by the same person. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 17:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

This is a fairly straightforward WP:DUCK case of sock or meat. Given that checkuser is not typically applied to IPs, I would suggest auto-confirmed protection at Nuon Chea.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 21:45, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

They're all sockpuppets of (most commonly referred as the George Reeves Person) who is globally banned since 2018. He participates in edit wars almost every single day, for example [//incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Incubator:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive/2019-&action=history here on incubatorwiki], [//incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:StevenJ81&action=history here on someones talk page] and [//simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adolf_Anderssen&action=history here on simplewiki]. There's also a LTA report about him under a different name: Long-term abuse/BoxingWear. --XXBlackburnXx (talk) 18:27, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
