 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

While patrolling the new editors contribs, I came across various single purpose accounts adding the same content about the supposed involvement of the person in the novel 'The Man Who Wouldn't Stand Up'. Could someone please verify whether this is part of an existing long term abuse case. SFK2 (talk) 23:30, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I think that's all, but another CU should feel free to doublecheck the range, there's a lot of no-edit accounts there to sort through. Courcelles 02:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * My inclination would be to NOT tag these; I have already blocked them Courcelles 02:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Closed, then, since every account is blocked. Reaper Eternal (talk) 04:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

 * 1 ISP range, many many many webhost ranges now blocked (mostly from the long list of IPs above).
 * 2 other ranges unblockable.
 * I also found a "dramafever farm" (that's how it's labeled in my block log) that is likely related to this case, but shares different technical evidence, but several same webhosting ranges and is massive so I did not list here. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  18:11, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
