Suspected sockpuppets
Rhenyra and Alex37m are a clear case of WP:DUCK. Rhenyra has been making unexplained changes and deletions at a number of articles, including recently at Tripolitanian Republic, where they also started edit-warring: this was reverted (followed by a warning on their talk page ), they repeated it here and then did this, and after these were reverted again, a brand new account, Alex37m, reinstated their edits. Rhenyra has been disrupting for a while and most of their edits have been reverted and they've been warned multiple times about this over many months, so there's no excuse here about not knowing the rules.

Given some of the specific POV edits, I suspect they're related to one of many other blocked, disruptive, and/or sock accounts pushing the same POV. I've requested a CheckUser to specifically see if Rhenyra has other accounts (if admins think this is reaching too much, feel free to decline). The most likely suspects I can see are: R Prazeres (talk) 17:26, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yacouboma34nut, which I've added to the list above, due to the similarity in edits around the same time (e.g. followed shortly by ), though it looks like a short-term account that's now inactive anyways.
 * There may also be a connection to Poiupoiu80 and Hanno 67, which made similar unexplained edits to a very similar set of articles. These two were blocked as socks of each other and as possibly related to recurring sockmaster Samira819; see former report here. I've noted them here but haven't bothered listing them above as they're already blocked, so it may be moot.


 * Update: Alex37m continuing the edit-warring on Rhenyra's behalf at Tripolitanian Republic and now at Italian invasion of Libya . I also want to note that while Rhenyra has given zero talk page responses or edit summaries since they began editing, the new account Alex37m has included an Arabic edit summary in this edit that Google translates as "Deliberate vandalism from the same account for hate reasons", something which they roughly repeat in English in this edit. Obviously this refers to the Rhenyra account in this context and confirms that, at best, they're a meatpuppet on Rhenyra's behalf, if not a direct sockpuppet.

 * Rhenyra has been blocked (and ec blocked the page for some time to let the disruption stop). Leaving the other account for other patrollers. Lourdes  06:58, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
