That's Agt2008fan. This might duplicate or slightly vary from results in the previous report. I'm going to lump all these users together. Technically they fall into several sub-groups, but the crossover and combined behaviour is enough for me to say they're confirmed: -- zzuuzz (talk) 06:43, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
