Just making a direct-to-archive post to note that this has turned into a substantial cross-wiki abuse case. More information can be found at nl:Overleg gebruiker:HENRY ALEGADO REBADULLA JR. I also blocked d:User:Mac henry on Wikidata before I knew about any of the preceding accounts; most of the edits that would link the accounts have been RevDel'd, but I can vouch for its DUCKiness. I believe a good number of these accounts, if not all of them, have been globally locked by stewards. — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  15:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

 * I'm closing this without running a check. I blocked both accounts, and deleted the pages, but I see that they're both globally locked, so I expect that if the steward found any other accounts, they're locked as well. At any rate, a check was run a couple of days ago, so we don't need another one for a while. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:47, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
