Behaviorally 161 and 777 were already a perfect match (with overlap); CU confirmed it and revealed a new account, started right after I started Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:161darts161darts/sandbox. I am here not because I need CU or whatever--I need someone else to decide what to do. Some time ago I got yelled at because someone argued that two socks weren't abusing the process, so to speak--well, in this case all socks are NOTHERE since they're basically doing nothing but gathering unattributed copies of Wikipedia articles in user space. If it were up to me I'd block the two socks and leave the main account be, with a note--though they don't seem to be reading notes very well... Drmies (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

 * In this particular case, they are socking (WP:ILLEGIT), and I agree they should be blocked. Editing sane article with multiple accounts is disruptive. I indeffed the two socks and blocked the master for 24 hours.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  17:19, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * User:Vanjagenije, I just ran into another one, Iceice501iceice. Can you have a look at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:501darts501darts/sandbox, for instance, and pull the trigger one way or another? Drmies (talk) 18:14, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh. Also Eazyeazy501eazyeazy and Music500music500... Drmies (talk) 18:16, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I indeffed the master too.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:07, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Darts and Michael Jackson copied into userboxes--the usual. Already CU-confirmed and blocked. Drmies (talk) 01:06, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
