ChronicleBooks885

Hi there, Colin. I saw you 'took the bait' a couple of times today so I wanted to make you aware if you aren't already of Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/ChronicleBooks885. This LTA crops up every few days, makes a wave of accounts with formulaic usernames (2-3 words wih or without a string of numbers at the end) and asks seemingly innocuous teahouse questions following s general formula of "I'm new to editing and before I contribute I want advice on reliable sources/notability/etc." They sometimes also ask nonsensical questions at the ref desk; "What is the difference between smartphones and books?" is a favourite of theirs.
