 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Bear with me. There's a bit of connective tissue to explore here. Therefore, I conclude these are all related. I deeper look may reveal others, but this is just what I've found with a 10-minute dig about. Scjessey (talk) 19:20, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * On Jan 14, Amkhariya began added some spam links to a website called "VergeArmy": diff1, diff2, diff3
 * On the same day, IP editor 50.202.53.252 did a similar edit: diff
 * Today, new editor VergeArmy created VergeArmy and began edit warring a CSD notice (see page history)
 * IP editor 50.202.53.252 twice blanked VergeArmy (example diff)
 * IP editor 209.221.136.9 also blanked VergeArmy (diff) and a quick look at that IP's history shows similar edits to call centre as user Amkhariya (IP 209.221.136.9 example diff, Amkhariya example diff)

 * CU confirms socking. Master and sock blocked indefinitely; I might have considered a temporary block on the master, but socking for spamming purposes, that's a double whammy. Thank you Scjessey. Drmies (talk) 19:26, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Amkhariya is blocked for only 31 hours. Also, the SPI was opened incorrectly. VergeArmy is the master .--Bbb23 (talk) 19:04, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
