I became aware of this issue when I nominated three (subsequently deleted) images as copyright violations on Wikimedia Commons which were uploaded by Wikipedia Commons User:DayVLately, and then used in Wikipedia articles by User:Archivey.

Images deleted as copyright violations:

File:SarahApplewood.jpg

File:SusanSulley2011.jpg

File:MsJoanneCatherall2011.jpg

These three users seem interchangeable with some articles featuring edits by all three editors, but hardly ever on the same day. For example: Nudimension, Anne Marie Cyr, Amour Programme, Susan Ann Sulley, Ministry of Defence Police.

User:Andi064, User:Archivey and User:Estragons all of one voice in wanting to retain the Controversy section in the Little Boots article. And these same three users all reverted the main article to retain this section:

User:Archivey's eighteenth edit is joint support with User:Andi064 for keep of an article:

This account's first edit was two months after User:Andi064 was banned for sockpuppeting.

Exactly the same modus operandi as Andi064's sockpuppet User:Archivey - Uploaded non-free photograph of Sarah Applewood to Wikimedia Commons with false licence Talk:Sarah Applewood, then upload image to the Sarah Applewood infobox. 

It should be noted that the majority of edits to the Sarah Applewood article have been made by Andi064 and his sockpuppet Archivey. memphisto 10:59, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * The account is stale, so there's not much point in blocking it. Relist if it becomes active and we'll handle it then. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
