@Justanothersgwikieditor: Re this edit summary, I would invite you to quickly peruse my talkpage history. Not sure if the CU will show anything, but it's never been a one-off. CMD (talk) 08:52, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Chipmunkdavis, while I agree with you, without other evidence of other editors, I think we can skip the CU for the time being! Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 09:09, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

  • I can't say what's going on here but all of these throwaway accounts are  Technically indistinguishable:
Editor Interaction Analyser (Slater Downer, Elknola Lee Ning Guangyao, Zelensky911, Liana Salgado, Petraeus Henderson, Jessica Thomas Ayato, Kern Mair, Auranori Himegimi, Joseph J. Fitzpatrick, Georgius Rogers, B0nk-fraud53, Noriaki Nora, Elisa Elvin Hu, Lee Ailieism Lillian, Auranori Himegimi, Deva Dove, Psx13, Julie Pearl Zhu, Liming Michiaki, THAAD American dad)
All of these accounts are using the same (admittedly common) device on one single static IP, which does not appear to be a proxy. These are the only accounts to have edited on this IP within the retention window, and as far as I can tell none have ever edited from a different connection, although I did not check them all. Many of these exhibit behaviours described on the LTA page, and their common geographical interests cannot be explained by the IP's location. Others are straight vandal accounts, some of which have already been blocked. If proxy geolocation is to be believed then these accounts are editing from a different continent from the proxies identified below, but that's still an inconclusive result.  Behavioural evidence needs evaluation.
