 * Can probably close this investigation as many of the accounts have been blocked by an administrator. -- StarryNightSky11   ☎  04:09, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

I found one more sock: User:Editor05060777. replacing "swine" with "Mongolia"- same type of vandalism. -- Shadow  of the  Starlit Sky  04:14, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Getting out of hand now, hopefully will be blocked. -- StarryNightSky11   ☎  04:17, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If these socks keep on vandalizing these articles I might as well request page protection soon on the affected pages. -- Shadow  of the  Starlit Sky  04:18, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Also, I would like a CU to investigate just to catch some sleepers (if there are any). -- Shadow  of the  Starlit Sky  04:16, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Good idea, should sniff out any more of them if there are any. -- StarryNightSky11   ☎  04:18, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Also:
 * All of them are blocked. This seems to be a short vandalism burst. The topic is quite narrow, so I wouldn't expect checkuser to find much. Feel free to report again if there are new accounts. You can report to WP:AIV if the vandalism is ongoing and requires a quick response. Closing. MarioGom (talk) 19:51, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Same type of vandalism as the other GoodContributor3245 socks- replacing "swine" with "Mongolia". Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone amplified by 100 times to me. CU requested to catch sleepers (if any). -- Shadow  of the  Starlit Sky  23:35, 7 April 2023 (UTC) --  Shadow  of the  Starlit Sky  23:35, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

 * I don't think these need tags at the moment. Sleepers are unlikely given how blatant this is. : Per WP:DENY, I'd suggest not reporting this vandal if the account is already blocked. MarioGom (talk) 00:55, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
