You missed one, [1], spamming the same link as [2]. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 19:09, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Seawolf35 That was an interesting little rabbit hole! There's very rarely just one spam account. Feel free to drop any more spam accounts here; they're almost always worth a look. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:47, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Scrutinize this guy for me?
Bolstamar has an incredibly odd editing pattern for someone new to the site x1 day, including putting dig at RfA in here. I don't keep track on which LTA pattern this matches, but since you protected the last page to which he made an unconstructive edit, I thought I'd bring him to your (or any relevant admin TPS') attention.

- NVM, Izno took care of it. Jclemens (talk) 07:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's probably Shanateen (who caused the protection). Someone burning a 2 year old sleeper on that is... a choice. I've got an open quick CU request out but it's as liable to find socks as it is to find proxies I'd guess, given LTA's apparent knowledge. Izno (talk) 07:46, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't mind blocking some proxies. I'll have a look when I get chance. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 08:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Jclemens @Izno worse than a proxy, they're on a vast mobile range. I couldn't see any other accounts but that doesn't mean much. If this is going to be an an ongoing problem, we can upgrade the protection to ECP but there's always a chance they might go away if we ignore them.

ArbCom update
Hi HJ, I hope you are doing well. It's sad that GN resigned from ArbCom. I noticed that two pages, Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Clerks#Mailing list and User:ArbClerkBot/Authorized users need to be updated after GN's resignation. I could have done it myself, but I don't think it's within my authority to edit official pages. Thanks. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- @DreamRimmer Thanks for pointing that out. I'm going to ping Maxim who's more knowledgeable about this sort of housekeeping than I am. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've updated both of the linked pages. Maxim (talk) 13:43, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
