User:Davidzelevarov was created on 25 April 2024. They only made three edits:

On 25 April, they expressed their opinion in the talk page of Alexander the Great, about the kingdom of Macedon not being Greek ([1]), as stated in the lead of the article.
On 11 May, they insulted a user ([2]) who pointed to them a relevant note supporting this wording.
On 11 May, they insulted a second user ([3]) which resulted to their indefinite block ([4]).

Pigay was created eleven days later, on 22 May 2024. Their first edit, immediately after their registration, was them posting under the topic created by Davidzelevarov, and agreeing with what they wrote ([5]). Since then, they have made 80 edits exclusively in the same talk page (and two in Pella), trying to make a case for removing the "ancient Greek" adjective from the kingdom of Macedon in the introduction ([6]). They then said that they would open an RFC (7), which was initiated by an IP, instead of their account (142.186.63.204). This was noticed by users Cynwolfe and AirshipJungleman29 who also raised similar sockpuppetry concerns.

For the past month, Pigay has only been disagreeing with users in this talkpage, completely ignoring the abundance of the relevant WP:RS, WP:CONSENSUS, and the arguments they've been provided, making it almost impossible to keep a conversation with them. An example of this troll-like behaviour is the fact that they accused User:Remsense of "sneakily inserting the word Greek" a while ago into the article, dispite this version having long-standing consensus and being the standard version for years! (a random example from 2017) They insisted on this until today.

The proximity in time between the activities of the two users, and their common obsession about the introduction of the same page, in my opinion, justifies an investigation. Piccco (talk) 20:32, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
