Evidence submitted by Active Banana
Shortly after User:2ne14ever is blocked for disruptive editing regarding copyright images, User:Ilove214 appears and begins questionable editing regarding images, including some of the same images and articles the blocked editor has made.

Note also the similar user names. 2NE1 being a band for which one of the accounts has edited. Active Banana (talk) 15:16, 18 July 2010 (UTC) Active Banana (talk) 15:16, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Both accounts are trying to push new pictures in various articles, such as Britney Spears, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, etc. Not so unusual perhaps, but they are also both (including the IP) doing it in quite obscure articles such as Toni Gonzaga.

The new account also tried to restore an article created by the old user here. As did the IP here. The new account also tried to correct an upload by the old user.

The IP and the new account also edited 2NE1, an obvious reference to the name of the first account. Nymf hideliho! 15:09, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Attempting to act on this. Could you please determine if there is any collateral damage for hard-blocking 121.54.78.198? This IP has been blocked before for the same reason, so I am planning a 3 month hardblock if there is no collateral damage. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 14:58, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Sparks flew was brought to my attention as a possible sock. I remembered the similar edits from the 2ne14ever case and saw the editing connections (Toni Gonzaga, image additions, etc.) and turned up the above accounts, which are ✅ matches to each other and matches to the archived data on 2ne14ever socks.
