All eight of these accounts are WP:SPAs that have made one or two edits to Translation (biology). Some, like this one and this one and this one and this one and this one are likely vandalism, they change around the meaning of the article with no explanation. The illusion of support from so many accounts is probably an abuse of multiple accounts. Leijurv (talk) 02:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking at the history of the page, just about every redname is a WP:SPA with similar behavior to these actually. Leijurv (talk) 02:57, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've added six more accounts that follow the same pattern of a WP:SPA that makes exactly one edit to Translation (biology) with no edit summary and no source that subtly changes the meaning of the text, possibly to vandalize, but I don't have the domain expertise to say for sure... :( Someone might have to go through these with a fine toothed comb since a good portion of these edits were accepted into the article!

but given the size of the sockfarm and the continued disruption, I suspect that there are sleepers too. Requesting CheckUser to confirm the suspected socks and find sleepers.  Java Hurricane  03:52, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
