Users turn Kamala (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) disambiguation page into a WP:BLP attack page with similar content. Examples:

• Roundtheworldyo: [1]
• Backagainbee: [2]
• Grommetdown: [3]
• Pinkspear: [4]
• Nooksad: [5]

Roundtheworldyo and Backagainbee were sleeper accounts, while the more recent accounts use similar techniques to quickly evade page protections. Nooksad was created on 27 Dec 2024 with no activity until 7 Jan 2025 with similar disruption.[6]

The accounts have already been individually blocked as disruptive, but I'm requesting CU to check for potential sleepers. Also if there's an underlying IP (range) that can be blocked, then page protection could potentially be lifted. —Bagumba (talk) 05:01, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

• CU isn't particularly helpful in connecting these accounts - most are stale, and the two new accounts are no mor than  Possible to one another. The behavioural evidence is sufficient however, so I've tagged them all as suspected socks of the listed master; I've also blocked Tokenboozy as  Confirmed to Nooksad.
