 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Recently, a lot of spambots (at least 180, for as far as I know) have been plaguing the English Wikipedia and its sister projects. They are probably created automatically. The usernames are all similar. A CU investigation of these pattern accounts could be useful to prevent further abuse. Please check if KuzewaTanaki is related to this collection and if there are anymore 'sleeper accounts'. I don't know if there has been any such investigation before. For your information, this overview only includes some accounts that visited en.wikipedia. See this list on Meta for a more extensive overview. Mathonius (talk) 23:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

 * - I blocked some sleepers/unblocked accounts. I'm not going to list who is confirmed, likely, etc, because they are all over the board and appear to be using a large variety of ranges. At this point, it doesn't look like there is much more than can be done that hasn't already. Tiptoety  talk 04:14, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
