• The above accounts  Blocked and tagged. There are a number of potential zero-edit sleepers but I'm not prepared to block them now without behavioral evidence because there also seems to be some legitimate activity here. Since Juniorurbanz has engaged in crosswiki spam and is currently locked, I will bring this to m:SRG for locks. Closing. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:00, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

• Could an administrator or clerk ensure that anything that should be reverted or G5'd is reverted or G5'd? The master here was first blocked 14:50, 27 May 2020. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 17:10, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

  @L235: I took a look, and it appears that all of the accounts that you listed no longer have any live contributions—seems like this is  Already done. Closing. Mz7 (talk) 18:17, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Recreation of Kikku Pro draft, mostly promotional material supported by own website. Need admin to check whether this current draft is the same as previous sock versions. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 15:52, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

•  Clerk endorsed - Drafts are effectively identical, I am certain this is KIKKU PRO UGANDA. Endorsing for a sleeper check based on the archives. GeneralNotability (talk) 16:00, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
•  No sleepers immediately visible Salvio 20:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

  Salvio giuliano, can I take that to mean that Dr.KikkuProug is confirmed as well? GeneralNotability (talk) 21:10, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

  Unfortunately, in this case, the technical evidence available was of little help; so, I'd go with  Possilikely (a mix between possible and likely), although the behavioural evidence is fairly clear-cut. Salvio 21:14, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

• Got it.  Blocked and tagged (as "proven" given the iffy CU data mentioned above but the slam-dunk behavioral evidence), lock request filed, closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 21:21, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
