Suspected sockpuppets
All accounts are adding Vietnamese gambling spam links on football-related articles in a similar manner (note the last added ref). I'm mainly requesting CU to see if a technical link can be made and whether or not there are more edits out there that need reverting. XXBlackburnXx (talk) 11:00, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Hey - sorry for the slow response, I'm on holiday so only occasionally online at the moment. This didn't really go anywhere - I started this thread at AN, but I don't think anything is being done about it and it's not my technical area of expertise. I guess we'll just have to keep an eye out for future occurrences. No strong view on tags, I'm not even sure how much point there would be running around tagging throwaway bot accounts.
