This obscure article about an obscure bridge that I moved back into mainspace from an editor's userspace should (unfortunately) be getting zero traffic, and yet there have been two minor edits (not vandalism, but the users' only edits) to it from the above new accounts, after JackCrawford247 edited it and was blocked during this SPI.
