First off, reported accounts accuse me of bias while mentioning my username as some sort of proof.

OctopusFactCheck claims "bias" here (also see this), here, here and here.

Newly created account "Wiki observer1" (name which reminds me of ) reverts me in Football Leaks with the following reason: "User SLBedit is a biased SL Benfica fan, just trying to sabotage this wiki."

Before that, Pmmsoares had accused me of "attacking" Sporting CP, claiming "bias of Benfica fans" and also mentioning my username.

Moreover, Cisito had said Sporting CP article and its sources were biased: More upto date information on registered supporters, to contradict the biased article being used at the moment; The current information, by the way, was published in a Portuguese tabloid, by a compulsive biased reporter, that has published several biased articles. Cisito also implied that I have an agenda.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel that the aforementioned accounts are somehow related because they all have some relation with Sporting CP, and always accuse me, sources and journalists of bias.

Lastly, and this might be a shot in the dark, if you check revision history of article João Vale e Azevedo, you can see that many IP addresses also accuse sources of "bias", "gossip", "tabloids", etc., and try to remove information by force, just like the IP hoppers you see in the revision history of Sporting CP page trying to remove information also by force.

Update: user Pddalmeida (a sockpuppet of Pmmsoares) has been trying to censor information in Sporting CP and accusing me of bias, etc.: "Also the description of the Sporting / FC Porto rivalry as simply an alliance between the two clubs against Benfica seems to be very biased and partial. Maybe it was written by one SLBedit (benfiquista) that can’t see anything but red and should not be allowed to publish lies and opinions in the Sporting Clube de Portugal page. I always thought of Wikipedia as a place to publish facts and not opinions and blind rage. Best regards."; [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sporting_CP&diff=prev&oldid=883980172 "Hi there. I confirmed the fact that the futsal derby (https://www.zerozero.pt/jogo.php?id=3666265) happened before the football derby (https://www.zerozero.pt/jogo.php?id=3597315). Again I think that Wikipedia must be about facts and not opinions. Also I don’t think that when describing the Sporting Porto rivalry, one can say that they formed an alliance against Benfica, it just seems biased and simplistic. Regards."]. Same language and behaviour. SLBedit (talk) 21:01, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Now the sock logged out and blindly reverted me as 79.168.123.228 while making a threat: "Hi there. If one checks the links I provided, one can see that in fact the futsal derby took place on the 7th of February 2015 at 5pm local and that the football derby took place on the 8th of February 2015 at 8pm. Facts are facts and not opinions. This kind of censorship and cyber bullying is not acceptable in Wikipedia. Hope this settles this argument, otherwise I will have to report this situation to someone in charge. Regards.". SLBedit (talk) 21:15, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

User SLBtrue, clearly mimicking my username, is now adding allegations to Luís Filipe Vieira article. SLBedit (talk) 21:22, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
