Tag-team restoring each others' edits (including copyvio images they upload commons and BLP-infringing content) on Ashi Singh and Draft:Vidmate. On commons, Aa2111, Jpj232, Reddif2323, and Redif2 are already CU-blocked (see commons:Category:Sockpuppets of Jpj232). Blockable on enwiki by behavior but asking for CU here because some new ones appeared after some old ones being blocked on commons, so there might be more. Also to flag for CU coordination cross-site. DMacks (talk) 17:02, 2 October 2020 (UTC) DMacks (talk) 17:02, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Aa2111 added unsourced DOB and copyright infringing image to Ashi Singh here, similar to Jpj2322 ,. Similar edits were also made by Reddit2323 and Lamborginin7558  and Redit2. There's also some overlap on Draft:Vidmate

These accounts have all been CU blocked on commons as socks already.  Ravensfire  (talk) 20:57, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * oh boy - my sincere apologies for missing that Lamborgini wasn't confirmed - I was going off the category on commons, plus the edits they made here to restore the unsourced dob and CV image on the Singh article. Thank you both.  Ravensfire  (talk) 13:49, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

 * - a CU / sleeper check seems like a good idea, especially as Lamborgini7558 had a good snooze in August, made one edit two edits (one deleted and one live) in September, then awoke to edit in the area the others were editing. All blocked on commons, with all bar Lamborgini7558 and Jpj232 being CU blocked and their tag on their userpages placed by the same CU link them to Jpj232. Because of the overlap with the CU confirmed accounts here on enwiki, I will shortly be blocking them. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 23:40, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the accounts CU blocked on commons here on enwiki as there is editing overlap on Ashi Singh and Draft:Vidmate on undisclosed sockpuppets. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 23:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think there is enough evidence on commons and here on enwiki to support that the non CU blocked account Lamborgini7558 is likely this user too. A CU is probably still needed to check if any other accounts are taking a long nap. I've all the accounts. For the time being, I've tagged all the commons CU blocked accounts as proven, as I couldn't see a page which says that the accounts are specifically confirmed, just that they are CU blocked. I've tagged the non-CU blocked sockpuppet as suspected for the time being too. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 23:57, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , unless I am missing something, Lamborgini7558 seems not be confirmed by a checkuser / CU blocked on commons. Could you provide me the relevant diffs / page if I've missed something? Thanks. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 23:16, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * After merging the case to the oldest account, it seems like Lamborgini7558 hasn't been confirmed per the report above. It will probably be a moot point soon anyway (as long as the CU actually does run the check. Its their decision on whether it is run of course), as I've endorsed the request for a checkuser above.

 * Lamborgini7558 is not confirmed because it's ❌. I don't care to dumpster dive for the potential master either on that range. Otherwise for the others, . -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 04:36, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * OK. I blocked on behavioral evidence due to this edit by Lamborgini7558 compared to this edit by Jpj232, plus the log for the file Lamborgini7558 uploaded. Because of the unrelated result, I think this is probably a case of meatpuppetry, so will leave blocks as is. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 11:38, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * As CU has been run and blocks have already been issued, I don't see anything left to do here. As I noted in my comment above Lamborgini7558 is probably a meatpuppet then due to its cross-wiki edits. Close. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 11:43, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Timesroman45 was CU-confirmed on Commons, so the other one is obvious. -- CptViraj (talk) 12:45, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Same target-pages, types of edits, and one is also obvious username-pattern. Blocked and tagged. Is there an underlying IP that can be blocked to stem this? DMacks (talk) 04:27, 13 October 2020 (UTC) DMacks (talk) 04:27, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Making edits to Draft:Vidmate, which is only been edited by Aa2111 and socks. They've also added DOB information to Nidhhi Agerwal see here (with a source this time) which socks have done and.  Ravensfire  (talk) 15:11, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Noting for the record the latest account. On-wiki behavior is a strong match, and CU confirmed it. Already g-locked. DMacks (talk) 16:53, 12 November 2020 (UTC) DMacks (talk) 16:53, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
