Editor and IPs are making similar edits recently, mostly by adding unsourced associations with Kabylia or Berbers on certain pages. The most stand-out WP:DUCK case that caught my attention is this edit by Yasiwasi, which was reverted and immediately followed by this edit by 51.171.114.248 later that day.

Less blatant and slightly earlier, are a string of edits on Zirid dynasty, all reverted and taking place over several days: this edit by Yasiwasi on April 20, then this one by 51.171.114.248 on April 24, this one by 102.159.192.21 later the same day, and this one by 102.159.77.43 the next day. I'm not as confident about whether the last two are related to the first two, but the timeline and themes of the edits are suspicious enough.

I left Yasiwasi a warning on their talk page, but since at least one of the IPs (51.171.114.248) is continuing to make similar edits it seems worth looking into it now.

I'm still not sure what the best use of CheckUser is, but since there are possibly multiple IPs involved, and since there are also other users editing with similar POVs, it seems like this would help with confirming either way. R Prazeres (talk) 15:57, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yasiwasi and 51.171.114.248 now seem to be edit-warring at Abd al-Haqq I, re-adding the same unsourced fact multiple times (see page's history, from May 1 onward). A new IP 51.171.110.33, is also participating in this, and making disruptive edits elsewhere. R Prazeres (talk) 16:40, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

 * CU won't get involved to publicly link IPs to accounts. But, none of the IPs have edited in a month, and I see there's already a warning on their talk page about logged-out editing, so I'm just going to close this with no action taken. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:21, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
