This is sort of a strange one. I encountered Nisha Chouhan making some boneheaded changes over and over again, like this, where they are obsessed with changing:
 * The film stars Mahesh Babu and Rashmika Mandanna, with Vijayashanti, Prakash Raj, and Rajendra Prasad in supporting roles.

to
 * The film stars Mahesh Babu and Rashmika Mandanna, with Vijayashanti, Prakash Raj, and Rajendra Prasad in lead roles.

Somehow in their mind there is a difference between a starring role and a lead role? I mean, if they are all credited as stars, then we drop the redundant "in lead roles" and get rid of the "with" and just say that the film stars five people.

Anyway, my rant aside, they were ultimately blocked for competency concerns. Then Garvit Chouhan popped up to make the same edit. Obviously this is the same user, quack quack, but what is unusual is that the Garvit Chouhan account went dormant in 2018. So it was, essentially, a sleeper account. That raised my interest as to whether they have any other visible accounts, hence my CU request. Also, is there a way to do a wildcard user search for names that end with Chouhan? I should probably know that. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:56, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

 * endorse for a sleeper check seems reasonable. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:49, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Nothing immediate, the full range check would be pointless, limited, and take hours. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 02:00, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you everybody involved. Since I've blocked the ducks, I'll close this and if I see anything else, I'll pursue. Although I'm still curious if there's a way to wildcard search for user names... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:38, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
