All accounts already blocked per WP:DUCK. Unfortunately, the autoblock doesn't seem to be working. Requesting a check into feasibility of a range block. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:02, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

A new account appeared and was blocked by another admin (I just happened to stumble upon the block request). I don't think the hard IP block has expired yet from the last CU, so I'm requesting another check for possible use of a third IP. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:15, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

First three accounts blocked per WP:DUCK. Last two accounts picked up by poorman's CU. No edits by these accounts, but the account names point to sockpuppets. Requesting confirmation, sweep for sleepers, and possibility of new/reset hard blocks of IPs. It looks like one of the IPs previously blocked by a CU has returned to activity and appears to be autoblocked. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:08, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Another account blocked per WP:DUCK. An autoblocked IP confirmed that this is him (and isn't very happy with me). Requesting a sleeper check, and extension of the IP block if the account/autoblock IP connection is confirmed. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:45, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

All blocked and tagged as obvious ducks. Perhaps a sleeper check? Extending the autoblock is obviously not working. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:22, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, at least with the accounts I checked, they are jumping around on the ranges of two very large ISPs. Even though I expanded my search this time, I didn't turn up any unblocked accounts, and a rangeblock is out of the question. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:18, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I suppose there is the option of an edit filter in the future since their content is very easy to pick out. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:06, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

I think I found the only two unblocked accounts, but I'd like a CU to double check for accounts I might have missed. Thanks. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:59, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Conform earlier SPIs, Papatito is making new variations on the Kanyabigega-theme. Kanyabigega Silas..Buhake (once) and Kanyabigega Silas. Sila (twice) are already removed. Also removed the blp prod-template on Kanyabigega Silas S.

Biranoze created Kanyabigega Silas S. (It looks that I was very gently with only prodding it.) claiming it was own work (in fact a 100% copy of Wikia).
