 * - - I'm requesting checkuser to determine if there are additional accounts involved. It looks like their edits have been stopped by autoblocks, but I'm wary of there being additional accounts because of the volume of the spamming. NativeForeigner Talk 19:00, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Blocking and tagging accounts. CU in IRC confirmed their relation but nothing in addition. Closing. NativeForeigner Talk 19:44, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
