No idea what the user behind this is doing, but a number of fake bot accounts showed up on Algerian Air Force over the past couple of days. Filing SPI for future reference and because they're individually getting soft username blocks which I'm going to upgrade to sock blocks. GeneralNotability (talk) 14:11, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

 * The Anome already blocked but I upgraded to a hardblock and tagged. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:34, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

 * -, self-endorsing for CU to see if blocking the underlying range is feasible. Not expecting any sleepers, they've pretty much only been creating accounts when they need them. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:56, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Same page being edited, same username. I'll also post this on SR/G since it looks like there's been a lot of socking in the past. – Frood (talk) 23:20, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
