I've indef'd all of these as spammers (and some as obvious socks of each other). Quite a few have been checked already, but I'm pretty sure that at least the first three haven't. No idea if any of them are directly connected to Bell Pottinger.

Clerk endorsed I know this is already being handled, but for those looking into this, you might want to consider what else has been listed. --

Edit conflict: I have blocked Medlar and G13nngraham indefinitely. There is an obvious overlap in activity, e.g. making identical changes to an image. They are technically Unrelated to each other, although because of where they are editing from, CheckUser is not really much of a help in that respect, and I suspect they are related. As for that IP, there's nothing really to do, although it is responsible for an
exceptionally misleading edit summary.

Clerk note: This case has sat untouched for four days. Basically everyone is blocked though not tagged, and honestly I'm not even sure how to tag them. I'm closing this for now, but relist if necessary, I guess? —

Clerk note: As I said before, this case is not to be closed until the investigation is done. I'd rather have one of the admins leading it comment here that it's closed. Alexandria(chew out)15:40, 20 December 2011 (UTC)reply
It is claimed on the
userpage to be a Bell Pottinger Account. I couldn't see anything on the
investigation page which said they had been permitted to create a group account, so wanted to add it to this SPI case for the record and for someone to either confirm or deny that this account is allowed.

Thanks. I'm marking this for close, as there appears to be nothing to do here. The account has been correctly blocked because it is a
WP:ROLE account, something which is prohibited unless expressly permitted by the Wikimedia Foundation and even then not for the purpose of editing.
