Persistent addition of copyrighted images of stadiums in sports tournament articles. Case includes cross-wiki abuse, as all were confirmed connected at Commons. Georgie 20 appears to be the oldest out of all of these accounts. Requesting CheckUser for other connections as well as for sleeper accounts. Jalen Folf  (talk)  18:32, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

The account was created after the most recent case was closed and the main account at the time, was indefinitely blocked. Behavior is the same as Davey01, exclusively editing sports tournament articles and reformatting the venues table, often with vague edit summaries about "improving the layout". I also found it strange that the user is uploading derivatives of files that are already on Commons to en-wiki, possibly because their IP address is blocked there (my earlier comment on their user talk encouraging them to edit on Commons was ignored). You can see similar edits on UEFA_Euro_2008. Ytoyoda (talk) 19:35, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Constant vandalism and disruptive editing over multiple accounts, all 5 of those accounts have made the exact edits that Georgie 20- a banned user kicked off of Wikipedia in 2017 who had made at least 8 other sockpuppet accounts had made. One example: on this article, this user through his multiple accounts wrote unverified, unsourced, unrelated and blatantly false information on this article. This user has persistently undone multiple revisions to try to retain what he has done. With those 2 named accounts, he also added vague explanations like "forecasted stadium capacities" on this article, which is what he did on other articles. I didn't want to get into an edit war with someone who seemingly has no regard for the rules here and since he's a banned user, I'm reporting him.

Revision made by now-banned sockpuppet User:Hans23019 on 31 March 2020: Revision made by User:Teodor_Munte on 16 April 2020 right after I reverted it:  Revision made by person without an account on 6 May 2020 when I reverted it:  Revision made by person without an account on 8 hours later with IP when this user reverted it:  --Hmdwgf (talk) 06:20, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * - I haven't had the chance to review the SPI, but diffs would be appreciated. Adding CU request as it could be beneficial here. I'll try and look back tomorrow if someone else hasn't. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 06:04, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Georgie 20 was already blocked for NOTHERE, I'll reblock and tag them for socking. Hannahp89, Dylanhexley01, and Tombrady1250 blocked and tagged.  I could convince myself that there's enough behavioral evidence to short-term block 2A02:587:792A:E48F:0:0:0:0/64, but that's been quiet for a month, so not doing anything there.  Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:54, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
