 * This appears to be a class on an assignment, according to User talk:Mchirico3489. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 04:32, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Should these accounts stay blocked, or should I proceed with moving/tagging? GABgab 14:03, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
 * These kinds of mismanaged education assignments are repeatedly annoying. I blame Wikipedia and those people who handle education, and I particularly blame the instructors. The students, not so much. Is there any way we can figure out who the instructor is and whether they have an account? It then seems to me that every one of the student userpages should post what's going on, especially if this is going to last until May (the end of the semester?).--Bbb23 (talk) 14:41, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

This is all a mismanaged class project of some sort. This activity extends across a wide array of articles dealing with CIA activities, particularly covert operations ("CIA activities in...", Cuban Project, CIA Tibetan program, etc.).

Behavioral evidence includes:
 * Several of them created userpages with the "Training for Students complete!" badge, just like previous socks.
 * Their teacher recommended using National Security Archive documents. The past socks did, and also used CIA FOIA documents (I've spent many happy hours doing research with those...) and other primary sources, such as FRUS: . Same deal for the new batch:.
 * Page overlap with one another and previous socks, obviously...
 * Z1754677rebirth is a WP:DUCK.

I am requesting CU to help sort out this mess. Thanks! GABgab 22:51, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

 * - Endorsing my own request. Thanks, GABgab 22:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't mind running the checks, but shouldn't the unblock request be worked out first? Brute-force blocking on our end seems like it should be the last resort, not the first one. T. Canens (talk) 01:45, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * - Fair enough. I'm going to place this on hold. GABgab 02:26, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't really see the need to keep this open any longer. Closing. GABgab 23:02, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
