On 4 September 2007 UserAnonymousDude1993 started edits and reverts adter reverts changing the number of goals a soccer player (Kaká did internatiopnally. When presented with evidence from several interwikis (I also checked outside sites) it was determined theat the original count should stay. He did a change again adding the following comment (his typo included): "international goals, I have counted then=m for years"
 * Evidence

When another editor reverted another change a few minutes later in Kaká, this time from a new user: User:Futbolfan, the comment this "new" user added was: "kakas international goals, I have counted them for years" (quoted verbatim in both cases). It seems strangely similar, enough to suspect sockpuppetry.

Update: Did the same on Robinho on 4 September 2007 At 08:21, User:AnonymousDude1993 said "date of birth, robinho said himself on real madrid TV that he was 19. please dont change it back, robinho said it himself. and its on loads of official fansites, and Im only a child". That change was reverted as unsourced.

At 08:53, User:Futbolfan said: "date of birth, robinho said himself on real madrid TV that he was 19". Adds to the strong sockpuppet suspicion. Alexf (Talk/Contribs) 12:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

At 10:17, 10:42 and 11:35 User:IamRobinho made the same DOB change to Robinho to the point that he seems to be another sockpuppet.

Update: On September 5, a newly created user: User:Randomuser3 started doing the same edits to the same articles and had to be reverted by several editors. The articles are: Kaká Robinho 1994 FIFA World Cup Leonardo Araújo. Suspected to be another sockpuppet. Alexf (Talk/Contribs) 12:18, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Strong sockpuppetry assumption here.
 * Comments

Sockpuppeteer has level 4 warnings already so it seems he wants to avoid a block.
