I barely know Fire Emblem, but adding an all-caps texts as edit reason looks wrong. You need some kind of evidence, and feelings aint evidence.

Looking at the times, samfluture first edited the page, and after that posted in said thread. He could had done the same in the edit reason (either a link to said thread, or a bunch of links as reason).

samfluture keeps claiming bias as the reason to these deletions, which seems... hypocritical? First off, screaming that a character isn't an Implied Love Interest "FOR THE HEAVENS SAKE" doesn't seem unbiased to me.

Plus, some of the links in their discussion post are clearly biased. "Sonia and Chrom is not canon. Can some people stop spreading that?"

They've said they don't want incorrect information starting up shipping drama. That would be fair—maybe the entries are incorrect, and again not much discussion was had for them. But maybe the entries are correct/valid, and samfluture has some bias of their own.

Basically these entries need to be brought back to discussion, and samfluture shouldn't be edit warring.

I've suspended them and done a revert on that last edit.

As someone who is familiar with Fire Emblem while I can't really say much for Robin being Chrom or Lucina's Implied Love Interest, I'd say Sumia being one to Chrom is valid, as she's the only character to show an explicit romantic attraction to Chrom outside of their support conversations, and she's the character who Chrom's Relationship Values increases the fastest.

I kinda noticed someone going by One Real Whisp whose account appears to have been just made doing similar edits so I think they might be a sockpuppet.

^ Yup, came here to report that.

After the mod revert on this page, One Real Whisp edited the Implied Love Interest entry, "editing out false information"

Definitely looks like samfluture ban evading.

They're also bickering about it here and denying all attempts to explain the situation.

So they made another account not just to ban-evade, but also for backup?

Whoo boy. Definitely needs mod attention.

Well, we're not sure yet. The circumstances are very suspicious but we need mods to confirm whether it is a sock or not. Let's just see what happens.

Definitely suspicious, but there's no IP overlap. I reverted the last edits.

ORW has edited the page again after the revert—not word-for-word, but basically redoing what was removed.

I'm going to suggest that this be brought to the series' discussion page. Despite samfluture ORW stating that they're trying to avoid a ship war, their edits/comments center around replacing the characters in the entries with Olivia, so it looks like a ship war is already here.

In any case, ORW is undoing mod reverts, which I think needs some attention.
