Identical first edit time (within 15 minutes of each other), each use the same repetitive style, and each user's edits occur at the same time of day. Both only add Wikilinks within pages, but indiscriminately, often inappropriately (e.g., a law that "fights" crime was linked to "combat", which refers to physical combat rather than reduction of harm). I don't yet see why these two accounts are engaged in this odd pattern, but it smells very much like a WP:duck. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 07:08, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
[edit]- CheckUser requested - I'm curious if there's any other sleepers gaming user access levels in a similar way. Meanwhile, Blocked but awaiting tags. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:52, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- On hold - this may be related to some outreach initiative. DatGuyTalkContribs 20:01, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've blocked all the ones I listed above, mostly before finding out about this SPI. It appears the instructor is Onwuka Glory. I'll send them a message pointing to this SPI. Graham87 15:54, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- If they're high school students as noted here, checkuser might not actually be that helpful here (unless they're editing from the school itself) ... Graham87 16:38, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- The teacher's reached out to me as well. Graham87 19:46, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've unblocked all the accounts after consulting with the instructor. I think this can be closed now. Graham87 14:35, 26 February ----
