Anarose.antonio was previously blocked for adding copyvio images (example: ) and after a long history was close to being blocked again for copyvio, removal of content, and other disruptive editing (talk). Meanwhile, Anarose.antonio was blocked at Commons (see previous discussion at ANI). Anarose.antonio stopped editing, Felix.valeroso was created and continued editing with the same behavior – large number of trial-and-error edits, no edit summaries, copyvio images uploaded to Commons and added to en.wiki article (examples: ) (refer to  to see the full sequence). Felix.valeroso is now [//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Felix.valeroso blocked at Commons] as a sock of Anarose.antonio. – Wdchk (talk) 15:18, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Besides the usual editing habits (uploading copyvio photos at Commons, POV articles regarding Philippine and other Asian artists), this evidence speaks for itself. - WayKurat (talk) 14:31, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

He/she added the same content that the previously blocked sock, User:Zanmai11 before being blocked. See 1, 2 for evidence. The new sockpuppet was created on November 5, three days after the Zanmai11 was blocked. Also, the user page of the sockpuppet is very similar with Zanmai11's (3, 4)- WayKurat (talk) 13:19, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

 * For future reference of checkusers and others: Any future SPIs on accounts related to Anarose.antonio and socks will not benefit from CheckUser: the range on which the editing is done is extremely heavily populated by a huge number of IP and registered users, and most use the same very common UserAgent. It is noted that edits from this IP range show a typical focus on regional celebrities, but this is commonly seen in just about any IP range, so is not useful for sock identification either.  Recommend that future SPIs be based on near-identical editing (e.g., duplicating previous edits and/or articles known to be from prior socks).
