A long-term abuse case exists at Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Slowking4.
There is consensus on Meta that they should not be locked at this time.

Usual LTA behaviors.
- Precocious new account's first edits are a bunch of article assessments in the LTA's subject area starting with [1]
- Account left dormant for a while, then on their next day editing, they create a new sportsperson bio [2], and move it to main space [3]
- Tagging [4]
- Portions of this creation appear to be unattributed copy/translation from fr.wiki, including redlinks for articles that exist on fr.wiki but not en.wiki. There may be more.
End of report. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- 2nd account Sailbail entered, diffs not provided; substantially identical patterns; LTA style name convention. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:33, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- Both are highly
Likely at minimum. With behavioural evidence I'd say there's more than enough to call it 
Confirmed. Comegrams appears to have joined an editathon which is consistent with the master's MO but makes it difficult to tell sleepers from innocent participants.

Behavior is a match for some aspects of the LTA.
- Suspicious ability to rapidly create new sportsperson biographies, syntactically correct in a single edit, and after only a few other edits; these were all within the space of 75 minutes, after exactly 8 other edits that I can see: [5][6][7]
- More bio creations fitting LTA pattern: [8][9][10]
- Project tagging [11]
- Possible name convention match
Once again, apologies to the editor if this is a false alarm. CU requested due to history of sleepers. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
- We also have something odd here that I picked up from article histories, but I'll just leave that as a hint for CU. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

- From a technical perspective I'd say it's
Possible, bordering on Likely taking into account the behavioural similarity. Geolocation is not (quite) what we've come to expect from previous socks so I might leave this to see if a CU more familiar with Slowking wants to have a look and possibly make a more definitive conclusion.

- Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • SPI Tools
- Lots of edit filter warnings about "Large creations by inexperienced user", and their editing shows unusual precociousness, e.g. an all-at-once, syntactically perfect biography as their 20th edit [12].
- Their specialty is also in a rather unusual biography area that was visited heavily by Slowking socks lately.
- Tagging consistent with LTA [13][14][15][16]
The positive evidence is offset by the fact their first draft was submitted through AFC [17] rather than moving own draft, and it doesn't tick all the boxes in some other ways (not spelling out how, per WP:BEANS), so my confidence is low on this one but thought that it should be checked. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

- From a technical perspective, this account is
Unrelated. They don't seem to be on proxies and they're on a different continent. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC) - Closing. Spicy (talk) 00:37, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
