Rungofed created a classic UPE article, complete with WP:REFOVERKILL, a complete infobox and categories, quite a feat for a 'new' user. The IP then attempted to remove the tags placed by a NPP who also commented on and removed the REFBOMBING (see their edit summaries). This was reverted by myself, and today Struvers has popped up to remove the tags again. The article was created in a user sandbox, then moved to mainspace; one sockfarm that does this off the top of my head is Highstakes00 but others also use this tactic. jcc (tea and biscuits) 11:10, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment by - I removed a lot of the WP:REFOVERKILL from this page. Based on the editing history presented by, I would support a check user in this incident. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:29, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

A new editor, Grudgeword popped up to remove the UPE tag from CleanMax Solar. Interestingly, their only other edit was to add an image to Tiffany_Stanley's article, uploaded by Laladhin at Commons. The article was created by JaimyKill, and I noticed their extremely similar user pages, hence the SPI suspicion. A brief look for similar userpages led me to GlobalXT which follows the same article creation technique. jcc (tea and biscuits) 20:42, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

yet another creation of Neeraj Gupta (artist), this time under the name Neeraj Gupta (Sculpture). CU managed to reveal some more accounts last time, so requesting to see if any other new accounts were created. jcc (tea and biscuits) 20:59, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Oh look, rungo returns!
 * CleanMax Solar - created by Rungo/edited by who incidentally, follows the same CamelCasing as this account and is almost identical in several ways to the original creation(s). (Also created under CleanMax etc... by various socks.
 * NU Hospitals by, a rungo sock.
