Both user accounts [Amenable and Editing Anon] began editing in January and focus on tag-team readdition of copyvio material to Yuki Hayashi (composer). User:Amenable, which has only edited that page, added most of the problematic material on January 16, and it was removed by User:Spectro889 on January 19 with direction not to copy and paste copyrighted material. User:Editing Anon, which has only edited this page and introduced one other copyvio article, readded most of the offending material the same day. Today, I added a Template:Tone tag to Yuki Hayashi (composer) before finding the copyvio, and it was promptly removed by User:Editing Anon. After I replaced the tag and labeled the copyvio, User:Amenable arrived within an hour to remove both the tone tag and the copyvio template. This later reoccurred, and I have warned User:Amenable about the removal. In addition, the accounts edited the page in quick succession, but not overlapping, on February 14 and February 15, and both accounts have been adding non-free images, as is apparent from User talk:Editing Anon and User talk:Amenable. Neither account uses edit summaries or responds to talk page comments. I would handle this, but believe I should treat myself as an involved editor at this point.

User:I created this account to rewrite the idiot's article began to edit after I left notifications about this investigation on the talk pages of the other two accounts. Dekimasu よ! 22:45, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

 * - . Please block all three account indefinitely. Sir Sputnik (talk) 04:42, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * except I have declined to tag the last one per WP:DENY; master blocked indef given the copyvios. I would have supported you blocking these accounts notwithstanding involved; copyright supersedes involvement in my opinion. If any other sockpuppets show up you should just go ahead and block, but don't hesitate to report if you feel more comfortable doing it that way.

Given their editing to Talk:Yuki Hayashi (composer)/Temp, these two are also clearly the same person. Sir Sputnik (talk) 14:49, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

First and only edit is to request unprotection of Yuki Hayashi (composer), the article on which the sockmaster focuses their attention.

Although I frequently expound on assuming good faith with new users, this is a case involving repeated egregious copyright violations, and I am not keen on taking chances. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:40, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Fairy Dance is ✅ to, who both seem ✅ from previous socks, who in turn are related to Amenable. No obvious sleepers, well, I'm going to AGF on one older account with no edits. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:14, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Both accounts and I'll respond to the RFPP request.  I have tagged as "proven" since you did not set a checkuser-block, but feel free to re-tag as you see fit. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:25, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, if you're tagging, I'm happy with proven. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:26, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
