I think the ANI link should point to here.  Jwesley 78 16:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I actually think Merlion44, Merlion444, and Magicartpro are not part of this pattern (and in fact are victims of copying), but the rest surely are. Is this User:Tile join?  NawlinWiki (talk) 16:15, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that there seem to be at least 4 underlying IPs involved. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:28, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

 * All users except Magicartpro and Merlion44 have been blocked (not by me). TN X Man  17:09, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * After running a brief check (eg: not every single userID listed), I can confirm Merlion44, Merlion444, and Magicartpro are not part of the other larger group.. The problematic fellow seems to be on a fairly inactive /23 belonging to a small ISP in Spain. I've hard-blocked it for 48hrs. I also blocked one additional sleeper .  Based on IPs I see in earlier reports, User:Tile join was out of England, so unless he's relocated, I don't think it's him. -- Versa  geek  10:39, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
