Both made numerous edits to Los Angeles Lakers and History of the Los Angeles Lakers last week. They edited without providing reasons or sources at first, so the edits were reverted at least a couple of times. Then one of them edited again, this time with reasons but still no sources. Tried asking that user to draft the article with their proposed changes with no success. They continued to make disruptive edits. And most of the edits, which were made to change the titles of some headers, are crystal balls. Revision history for Lakers and revision history for history of the Lakers.

Contributions show they also made edits to South Carolina Gamecocks football and Curse of the Billy Goat. Both edited Billy Goat in March and April. Revision history for South Carolina and revision history for Billy Goat.

Someone else had to comment on both of their talk pages to give them notices within a week. One of the two accounts is already at risk of being blocked for disruptive editing. Will Be Continued (talk) 01:00, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

CU requested because the user continues to edit the Lakers articles without including a single source. Will Be Continued (talk) 07:38, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Will Be Continued

Similar editing interests, dates of editing pick up where the other left off. User:Sports Fan 1997 (LIn78933's new username) has been blocked two weeks for persistent disruptive editing, and it seems they are using different accounts to avoid scrutiny. If these are confirmed to be sockpuppets of Sports Fan 1997, I suggest overturning my two week block and blocking that account indefinitely.  Eagles   24/7  (C)  13:38, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
