See Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. User:Hayman30 and User:TropicAces have seemingly out of the blue been thanked by a whole series of new editors (the above 4 are just some of them) for no apparent reason. The editors all use the same edit summaries (e.g. "phrasing edit", not something usual), e.g. this by Heartfeltapology, this by Meetmeinlondon or this by Helphimplease. Hayman30 understandably feels "disturbed and uncomfortable" by this. Fram (talk) 10:42, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks logs: shows many recent thanks from new editors for no apparent reason.

The behaviour of now blocked 86.163.134.211, iff they are the same user (which seems likely), indicates that this is not some misguided attempt to genuinely thank them, but harassment. Fram (talk) 10:48, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks received log for TropicAces gives some other new editors probably involved in this:. Fram (talk) 10:50, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
