I added one more new one, MichaelMMcKnight, who fits the same MO. Deli nk (talk) 15:43, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

 * These are obvious spamming accounts; they're all over the map IP-wise and UA-wise, but the pattern is unmistakeable. All but one or two of these is now blocked, as well as additional similar accounts running on the same IP or narrow range.  One range block done.  If you're interested in all the names, check my block log.  Unfortunately, very few are on same IPs/ranges so we may see more of these in the future.  Risker (talk) 06:34, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I've gone through the edits of the new accounts and found eight more domains and a bunch of accounts which escaped the first sweep:




 * Please take a second look. MER-C 10:54, 18 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Second look taken, these are all now blocked along with a few other sleepers. Some of these accounts appear on ranges that have been blocked because of other unrelated abuse. I'll look further at the IPs involved to see if I can isolate any other ranges, but again the UAs and IPs are all over the map.  Risker (talk) 16:01, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I found one extra domain but no new accounts. I think this can be closed now. MER-C 07:19, 19 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Nothing more to do here, I don't see a great need to tag them since they are just spam accounts. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:31, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
