Both promotionally editing Holeg Spies. Charles Rapeneau created the page Ariel Electron in 2014 so this seems quite obvious. Charles is also adding the same copied information that the IP above did and  and both edited Olowex. Seems like WP:DUCK or meatpuppets. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:38, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

 * - Charles Rapeneau and the IP are clearly the same person. Given that Rapeneau had been inactive for over a year, we shouldn't read too much into the fact that they were editing while logged out. However, they have repeatedly added copyrighted material to the point where a block is warranted. Please block Charles Rapeneau for a few days. A potential connection to ARIEL ELECTRON is quite tenuous, in my opinion, and largely moot considering how stale that account is. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:29, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , speaking with my normal admin hat on: we normally only block indefinitely for copyright violations as they are CIR issues (WP:DCV), and they we expect a fair amount of warnings. This wouldn't in my opinion qualify for a copyvio block. That being said, the account below is clearly the same user (behaviorally, I haven't looked at the technical data). If it's also adding copyvios, I'd be fine blocking both accounts indefinitely. Otherwise, I'd block the sock and give the master a weeklong block. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:04, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , fix ping. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:05, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I haven't looked at the other account, but if they are clearly the same please block them both indefinitely. The content Rapeneau added to Holeg Spies is copied verbatim from Spies' Facebook page. Sir Sputnik (talk) 02:35, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * per above, closing. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:45, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Their first edit is adding promotional material to Holeg Spies. See this edit from Charles Rapeneau where he adds the same info to the intro as this "new" account does. John Surin edits and Charles Rapeneau edit. Seems like obvious WP:DUCK. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:45, 7 October 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm temporarily changing the status of this filing so that it displays correctly on the SPI main page, given my request above. I haven't looked at this second filing in any sort of detail, and am not actually requesting any action. Sir Sputnik (talk) 17:45, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * per above. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:46, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

 * For tagging purposes, did you turn up any CU connection between Extra89 and Charles Rapeneau? Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:20, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * , same exact IP, but a different device from the named master. I’d call it extremely likely based on that and behavioral evidence. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:35, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
