See below for full list. In response to an email received on the CU mailing list "Massive account creation", this is a counterpart to this list on fr.wiki with more than 1600 accounts created. The accounts listed below are not the same accounts but created here on en.wiki by the same master. I'm not sure who the master is. I have requested that the stewards investigate on the CU mailing list so that they may lock the accounts in both lists, search for more on other wikis and consider globally blocking the underlying range. Please do not close until a steward has indicated that they have finished. — Berean Hunter   (talk)  12:55, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Blocked but not tagged (yet).
 * Noted, will start looking at it in 30 minutes (when I have desktop access). &mdash; regards, Revi 13:08, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Locked 1682 accounts. List at m:User:-revi/LTA/Meleshoui. Still double checking... &mdash; regards, Revi 15:26, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The accounts in enwiki not locked was either 1. it was sleeping for few months, so loginwiki couldn't catch or 2. I just didn't properly pasted from the list., if you have nothing to add, you're free to close it now. &mdash; regards, Revi 15:48, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Revi. Did you global block the underlying range? Also, did the cu logs from the other projects suggest who the master might be?
 * I’ll do the range globalblock soon; (forgot that.) There was not enough information on other wiki’s CU log to determine the actual master. &mdash; regards, Revi 16:40, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Blocked for 1 month, I'd rather be conservative on non-OP IP ranges. &mdash; regards, Revi 16:46, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Closing with the hopes it will be archived soon. New ranges were detected and I will be filing a new report with more accounts later.

New ranges were discovered and the following are all ✅:

From IPv4 range (already locked):

From IPv6 range 1:

From IPv6 range 2:

Revi, the two IPv6 ranges need to be globally locked along with locking these accounts. Thank you, — Berean Hunter   (talk)  23:34, 2 May 2018 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  12:54, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
 * All locked. R adi X  ∞  03:22, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Cheers. We can probably close this now.
