Missed this one. Editis to Draft:Dolphin attack are an obvious continuation of other sox'.

Sulaimat's most recent IP edits came from a different IP, but they were apparently at this one for three weeks, so might still be worth blocking even though it's been a week since the last edit.

Also noting that I'm not going to G5 the two drafts, preferring to leave them open as honeypots. Might change my mind if this takes a turn in a more abusive direction, but, for now, better to keep it out of mainspace. -- Tamzin [cetacean needed] (she/they) 14:46, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: They're back to editing from that IP. Also, looking through old contribs, this diff makes me think there's probably accounts older than Sulaimat. -- Tamzin  [cetacean needed] (she/they) 02:43, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Obvious from the usernames, the overlap at Even-toed ungulate with the IP listed above, and the characteristic taxonomy template vandalism. Requesting CU to check for sleepers, due to Sulaimat's history of creating quite a few of those, at least some of which are probably listed at the updated query/56545. -- Tamzin [cetacean needed] (she/they) 14:43, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Yep, quack quack. due to the history of sleepers / under-the-radar sox. They've also returned to editing from . They've been on that IP since the start of August, so  for a two-month block of the IP, account creation disabled.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 06:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Looking at this again, there's something weird going on. The last version of Draft:C2 (RailShark) by SulaimanBhatti2789 looked like a perfectly reasonable rail-fan article (with the exception of the strange title).  Then Sulaiman27 and SulaimanMBhatti basically started vandalizing it.  There's no doubt about the technical data confirming these accounts as socks, but it's weird that somebody would vandalize their own article.  Well, at least weird when evaluated against a WP:HERE standard, but this could all just be elaborate trolling. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:53, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The original version was a find-and-replaced ( →  ) copy-paste of C3 (railcar), which I think explains the odd shift in behavior you're describing. When I first made the decision to not G5 and rather leave it as a honeytrap, I must have forgotten to tag it as a copy-paste for attribution purposes; I've done that now through an edit summary. As to why they think   →   is funny, I'm not sure... although "RailShark" is kinda catchy, and I can't believe I missed the opportunity to describe an LIRR train that way when I was on one a few days ago. Although it doesn't appear to have been a C3.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 18:07, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Some of those LIRR tunnels have really low clearances. I'm not sure there's room for the dorsal fin. -- RoySmith (talk) 18:11, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
