Suspected sockpuppets

In just around one week, these three users have been involved in persistently removing a sourced and very specific piece of content, which regards the Yezidi background of the Kurdish component of the dynasty on Germiyanids article. Hence, I suspect them to be managed by one person, because the reference is cited perfectly the way it is supposed to with even the page number added, yet they're bothered by that one very specific piece and they keep removing it either without explanation, or with the claim of the piece of content being "unsourced" and without source to support it.

Sock 1's edits: 1, 2, 3, 4

Sock IP 1's edits (Very random IP tracing to Kyrgyzstan, I suspect VPN being used): 1

Finally the edit of what I suspect is the sockmaster: 1.

The sockmaster and Kurdî27 also have an oddly similar areas of edit, they've not just been targeting this one specific piece of information on the Germiyanids, but also frequently editing on articles of the same topic, related to mainly Iranian or Kurdish dynasties. In another article about the Kakuyids, three more IP sockpuppets belonging to different, very random countries (Again, I suspect VPN being used) were seen attempting to add practically the same identical content between 2 June 2021 until 30 August 2021, all of which were reverted, then the day right after, an account newly created just a few days prior, which was the same aforementioned Kurdî27, also attempted to add the same exact content.

Sock IP 2: 1, 2, 3, 4,

Sock IP 3: 1

Sock IP 4: 1

And of course Sock 1, i.e Kurdî27's edits on the same article: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 KurdeEzidi (talk) 11:46, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
