 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

Four accounts whose principal activity has been to spam external links to holdings of the Getty Research Institute (links that may in themselves be a valuable addition to the project), copy-pasting in almost every case a description from the Getty page. Examples: I've requested a copyright investigation to cover that aspect of their edits. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:36, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * adds a link with a description copy-pasted from the Getty page, now here
 * adds a link with a description mostly copy-pasted from the Getty page, now here
 * adds a link with a description copy-pasted from the Getty page, now here
 * adds a link with a description copy-pasted from the Getty page
 * That investigation is now closed. It's possible there was no malicious intent here, that this is a misguided but good-faith editor who forgot his/her login details. Three times. Given that, as points out, three of these are stale, I'm not sure there's anything more to say here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:22, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Note that all are stale except SspArt. Mark Arsten (talk) 16:54, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Given the age of the non-stale accounts there's no recent abuse which is actionable, so closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 10:12, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
