 * Following are ✅:
 * There are some other accounts with the same UA on the most recent range CIDR I checked (with this SPI as the reason) which I think might be related (cf edit to user and talk pages, note the other areas of their editing are different) but I'd like a second opinion before naming them.

 * I would definitely not name any other accounts. Look at who owns the range and then look again at the UA. Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:18, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

 * made the exact same edit as the socks in this case. looks related with this very similar edit which ties in with  (which was User:12321v) who made this same edit. These edits do go back a number of years.
 * I've the master and the two confirmed socks, but they've only been used on a single day a month a half ago, so I expect this will be ineffectual. Berean's addition evidence points to a longer pattern than just these two accounts (although the two IPs and the account are way too old to block anyways) so I wouldn't be surprised if this was connected to something a bit more LTA-like, and Reaper's comments make me think there is something sensitive about this whole deal, so I'll just quietly close this for now. ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  16:58, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
