Historicus9 refers to me or my behaviour as 'hypocrite' ("It sounds quite hypocrite"), the noun form instead of the adjective 'hypocritical', while Shadow4dark has made a similar claim/attack to someone else in the past ("ironic and hypocrite"), again using the noun form 'hypocrite' as an adjective.

Historicus9 edited a comment by Goalkeeper87 on a Talk page to change interpunction.

Goalkeeper87, Historicus9 and Shadow4dark have removed the same claim: one time each, using similar Edit summaries that begin with capitalization (possibly to circumvent 3RR).

Goalkeeper87 has only contributed since March 16th, in only one article and its respective Talk page.

Goalkeeper87 and Historicus9 both have usernames that mention a profession followed by a number.

Goalkeeper87, Historicus9 and Shadow4dark have edited in rapid succession (presumably during the late night, UTC+1, possibly before bed time)

All three users use highly similar arguments, I will include one (and could include more, if needed):

Shadow4dark and Goalkeeper87 both invoke my edit history to attack a claim, in succession.

The editing is disruptive because of a possible circumvention of the 3RR, because of uncivil behaviour including a personal attack ('hypocrite') and because it harms honest discussion and compromise on a Talk page.

CheckUser may be needed, because using three different accounts to revert may be a sign of circumventing the 3RR. Additionally, Goalkeeper87 and Historicus9 appear to be more obvious sockpuppets, possibly to distract from alleged involvement by Shadow4dark, an established account, adding complexity to the case.

I am not these users, the reporter has only 1 diff about me. CheckUser should check these ips. The reporter had deleted "far left" on one page but added "far right" on other page. I just added one note. Shadow4dark (talk) 19:02, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I'm a little curious why declined the CU, but in any case, it seems obvious these are all the same person.  In view of Shadow's 6 year history of apparently productive editing without any blocks or serious issues that I can see, I've decided to dig deep into my AGF supply, left them a warning on their talk page, and I'm going to leave it there.  If problems persist, please file a new report and ping me. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:06, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
