Spillover of a disagreement from the Greek Wikipedia, in which these users change "Piraeus" to "Athens" for location of sports stadiums. Apparently it has to do with loyalty to opposing teams. They attribute any disagreement, even if it is from long-established users, to socks of a globally banned user, User:Vrahomarinaner. At first this was done here by shifting IPs in the 2a02:587 range. Then these two registered users appeared and took up the battle.
 * Jjik43, beginning August 8, made the change at several articles and accused disagreeing editors of vandalism and sockpuppetry at RfP, AIV, and SPI.
 * Trefoil13, beginning Sept 3, made the same changes at two articles. MelanieN (talk) 16:59, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

P.S. The backstory here is complicated. Here is a good summary, if needed, from Ah3kal, a Greek editor who is also a global sysop. -- MelanieN (talk) 18:11, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
