 * Suspected sockpuppets

User is creating multiple accounts to insert copyvio images from Commons (which he has apparently uploaded there under false free licenses) to baseball-related articles. See here for details. Also impersonation of User:Killervogel5. I've already blocked all these accounts and the IP - requesting checkuser to find any sleepers and to determine if there are any other underlying IPs that may safely be blocked to prevent further disruption.

 * In addition, the user has blatantly evaded his/her block by using to blank this investigation page and the user/talk pages of the master account (see contribs). Including this IP for checkuser, if possible. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 12:02, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Kurt Shaped Box asked me to drop in and give my comments. This user previously uploaded a set of non-free images to Commons under a PD license. A Commons admin, Tabercil, deleted all of the original set of images claiming copyvio. That was my first exposure to this user, who was uploading under User:Bsktblldn618 at the time (see the diff from CommonsDelinker). This happened over several pages on my watchlist with identical edit summaries, so I went back to check everything over and I had therefore seen all of the copyvio images before. Previously, the user had uploaded to Commons as Bsktblldn618 (same user name as en:WP, so when I saw that the second set of uploads was from Bsktblldn619, I obviously figured it to be the same user, although the picture insertions were done by an IP address (see User talk:68.46.2.253's history for the deleted warnings, etc.). Since that point, I've seen usage of all of the above listed accounts on the article Rodrigo López (baseball) (see the history for more details). Commons admins/users may be advised to watch out for other incarnations of this user; he's already used two usernames there and they should probably be blocked as well (the user was evading his original block to begin with&mdash;see here for more info).

68.46.2.253 blanking User_talk:Bsktblldn619, presumably trying to remove sockpuppet notice. Both edit Rodrigo López page. Matt J User 23:45, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

See also Sockpuppet investigations/Bsktblldn619. Might be a good idea to move this report there. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Page history of Rodrigo Lopez (baseball) is pretty self-explanatory in this case. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 21:42, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

- per the archive, a check for sleepers may be appropriate. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 01:01, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ on all counts. Several sleepers blocked too. --jpgordon:==( o ) 04:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Killervogel5
WP:DUCK test. Sockmaster was previously blocked for sockpuppetry on Phillies articles, and a similar user name to one of his previous sock accounts just vandalized J. A. Happ here. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  13:22, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
I don't see any relation between these accounts. The sockmaster was blocked for repeatedly inserting copyvio images. This account has made one edit, changing the team name for J.A. Happ. Given the trade speculation recently, may be an innocent mistake. Absent any further connections, I'll mark this for close later today. TN X Man 16:43, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
