 * - I've blocked all the unblocked accounts without tags. Because there are so many, I'm requesting a check in case any have been missed. Everyone can be tagged after the check. Bbb23 (talk) 13:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅, looks like that's all of them. Tagged, closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 22:19, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Blatant ducks. There may be others: replag prevents me checking, and there is at least one known sock with a dissimilar username. Certes (talk) 17:22, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

See 56's history. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 13:57, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
 * And judging from the history, the sock will probably create a bunch of accounts, suggest checking. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 14:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Interest in 55 and 57. (The normal target 56 is now protected). Quacks like (already blocked). Several similarly named new accounts have not yet edited, so CU may be productive. Certes (talk) 21:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

 * ✅. They're on a big range so it might be whack-a-mole. Will leave open in case wants to take another look. I've only had a quick look to confirm and block. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts?  21:44, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Didn't see anything else on a quick sweep of the range. mentioned  on my talk page and that one is likely them as well (same geolocation, username). Honestly these are obvious enough that you can probably just report them to AIV once they start editing - it will be faster than SPI. Spicy (talk) 15:22, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Similar bizarre edits to 56: compare with  and similar edits listed in SPI archive. Certes (talk) 19:57, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
