A very clear WP:DUCK. Making the exact same unverified original research edits to "in wrestling" sections right after the sockpuppeteer was blocked. STATic message me!   14:00, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' WP:DUCK for block evasion. From their contribution pages, both edit professional wrestler biographies, specifically the "In wrestling" sections, using mobile edits. To me, seems like vandalism-only accounts because of repeated addition of unsourced information despite warnings. 7alawa el3antbly did not respond to any warning on their talk page. From my personal experience in professional wrestling, these additions are wholly untrue. 7alawa el3antbly was blocked on 15:08, 19 May 2014 and M7md eltb3y first edit was 15:53, 19 May 2014. starship.paint  "YES!" 02:40, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Update: has blocked 7alawa el3antbly for 1 month and M7md eltb3y indefinitely.  starship.paint   "YES!" 14:07, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

As Starship.paint says, I have already blocked both accounts, without knowing of this sockpuppet investigation. It was a complete duck case. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:56, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Via evidence supplied at Commons Wikimedia, it was determined that the accounts Flikerst, Ana Xsosta and M7md eltb3y were associated – in brief, the accounts were cooperating to use Commons in order to upload non-free media for use in wrestling articles on the English Wikipedia (there is more detailed evidence at the first page I linked to). Since M7md_eltb3y was already blocked as a suspected sockpuppet of 7alawa el3antbly, Ana_Xosta and Flikerst were both blocked indefinitely as sockpuppets (on both Wikipedia and Commons). This morning, Devil Stunner edited the page Seth Rollins to add the image File:Rollins Corkscrew 450° Splash.jpg; this turned out to be a non-free image uploaded to Commons by 7alawa_el3antbly (see here), to which false licensing information was added by Devil_Stunner. This matches the MO of the already blocked accounts. VeryCrocker (talk) 12:46, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I have added Memo elkora to this list, this user changed an image description page of an image uploaded by the suspect in question, added a Flickr source and a fake Flickreview tag. I've already blocked him at Commons. --Denniss (talk) 19:06, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Listing for the sake of archival. ✅ sockpuppet . Marking case for closure. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  19:09, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually I'm marking as CU requested in light of previous socking to run a local sleeper check. ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  19:11, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * There are a few random logged-out edits, but I don't see any other accounts lurking about.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:28, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

User has same m.o. (editing professional wrestlers, especially a focus on "finishing moves"). Name beginning with "Youssef" matches three confirmed sockpuppets (Yousef Hasona; Youssef Elbob; and Youssef Freely). User hasn't edited Commons yet, so I can't run a CU there (see CU wiki entry for more information). Эlcobbola talk 14:54, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

 * @Clerks: Can we put a note/link on this case's front page indicating the user is known to sock across enwiki/metawiki/commons, and link to the CUwiki page, so that future local reports are handled accordingly? ☺ ·  Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  15:40, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * - Have a few ranges to check, will finish it up tomorrow. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  02:26, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
