New user BigTina has made exactly the same edit to List of South African slang words as Pstratford's edit after it was reverted for the second time on multiple grounds with due warning on their talk page (BLP violation, original research, improperly marked as a minor edit).

 * The behavioral evidence is quite clear, so I blocked the sock account and left a warning for the main account for now. However, I suspect that there might be a connection to other accounts making similar suspicious behavior. I've added the accounts above. Mike V  •  Talk  17:56, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
 * BigTina & Pstratford are.
 * Niemannis & Monica Mbaraga are and ❌ to the other two. --  DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  04:19, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the Niemannis account on it's own right as a vandalism-only account after looking into the user's edits further. Monica Mbaraga's contributions appear to be good faith given her messages on the Help Desk, so I won't be taking action on the account. Mike V  •  Talk  16:58, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
