User:Bergeronpp is a 15-month editor focused on sports including MLS (soccer) and politicians.[1] There are 8 distinct, disruptive editing related discussions at User talk:Bergeronpp to date.[2]

Today, there was a flare up at New England Revolution with long-time editor User:Walter Görlitz around image particulars[3]

Sequence of those consecutive edits:

• 21:32, 14 June 2021 - 2601:5c4:4301:5420:8437:3436:3067:464a - Adds image[4]
• 22:17, 14 June 2021 - Walter Görlitz - removes same[5]
• 22:20, 14 June 2021 - 2601:5c4:4301:5420:8437:3436:3067:464a - Reverts[6]
• 22:39, 14 June 2021 - Bergeronpp - Adds caption to same[7]
• 23:25, 14 June 2021 - Walter Görlitz - Removes all[8]
• 23:48, 14 June 2021 - Bergeronpp - Re-adds all[9]
• 00:08, 15 June 2021 - Walter Görlitz - Removes all[10]

Dispute moves to User talk:Walter Görlitz with an ugly WP:NPA that should/will go to WP:ANI:

• 00:17, 15 June 2021 - Bergeronpp - NPA [11]
• 01:16, 15 June 2021 - Bergeronpp [12]

Then, new user Special:Contributions/Online scribatorian is created at 01:23, 15 June 2021[13]

• Edits article of a politician with second edit[14]
• Vandalizes Boston College Eagles football with third edit[15] "If the NCAA doesn't recognize it, why is it even worth mentioning? Hell, the school finished #5 in the AP Poll (according to the table)"
• Then pivots to MLS articles, images, and uses advanced edits (WP:DUCK) [16],[17], [18]
• Then dormant from 04:24, 15 June 2021
• Bergeronpp reappears for 4 edits including images from 04:09, 15 June 2021 to 04:11, 15 June 2021.[19]

Lastly, Bergeronpp also previously made DE edits at Boston College Eagles football in April 2020 with similar content and comments

• Adds AP Poll / "Not major (ONLY major at this time was the AP Poll)"[20]
• "rv my previous edit, NCAA does not recognize national title" [21]
• Adds AP Poll / "added final ranking from each major selector" [22]

So in total:

• Creation of sock and revisits content authored by the Master
• Using Master, sock, and IP to edit war/DE over the same content
• Concurrent use of Master and sock at 4:00
• Based on above, I suspect CHECKUSER will find additional socks, likely around MLS
• SPI results seem likely be referenced at (unfiled) ANI. UW Dawgs (talk) 07:03, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• I suspected the same. Was going to wait for ANI on the NPA before I dug deeper though. Thanks to UW Dawgs. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:10, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conman33 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) may also be related, but the evidence is less clear. The editor started to add images to US sport articles after I began commenting that CU linked the master and puppet, but the account was created many years ago.

    • Bump. It would be good to get an admin to act. Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:13, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • More than ten days since CU confirmed association and no action on either account and both are still editing. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:39, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
