Red River Showdown has 1-year of ongoing DE from IPs and SPAs. The article received PP in August. The content dispute relates to whether to list Oklahoma/"December 2018" (per clear/unanimous consensus on Talk) or Texas/"October 2018" (IPs/SPAs) as the most recent winner/game date per the article's topic.


 * JoeLester21 was registered on 2018-12-13 16:42 and 12 mins later makes first/only edit to Texas
 * Satman 99 99 was registered on 2019-02-07 14:10 and makes an entire section to quarantine the Oklahoma game with no further article edits
 * Finn500 was registered on 2019-04-28 18:18 and immediately makes a lone Texas edit; They return to wiki after 2 months and are quickly blocked for vandalism on another article
 * Jimmythehamm was registered on 2019-09-02 01:11 and makes 2 edits (not Oklahoma/Texas specifically) and then disappears
 * Jaybird12383 was registered on 2019-10-08 01:02 and makes a lone Texas edit and then goes dark
 * Raz65iii was registered 2019-10-10 23:35 and immediately makes 2 edits to Talk re Texas,


 * Thesabrerattler (master?) was registered on 2012-01-27 01:12 and is unused for 7+ years, then makes their very first edit to flips to Texas and continues to do so where 3R and DE on "master" seem clear, but I am trying to resolve the core issue.

The EIU shows a clear 7 min transition between Thesabrerattler to Jaybird12383, then return to Thesabrerattler which also lends to designating as the "master." Understood that some of the above accounts now appear to be abandoned, but the master also appears to resurrect dormant accounts. Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 00:10, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

 * The remaining accounts are all ❌. Page protection is probably the best way forward in this case. ST47 (talk) 16:03, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Since the article in question is already protected until February, nothing more to do here. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 16:28, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 * To elaborate a little bit, many of the accounts here only submitted a couple edits then never edited again. Given the mild popularity of the topic, I think it’s not implausible that many of these accounts arrived at this article and submitted the edits independently. I agree with ST47 that page protection is likely the best solution at this stage. Mz7 (talk) 23:29, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
