Eimerbatine created Sean O’Neal (photographer) which is obviously not a newbie's article. The reason I suspect this is Kavdiamanju is that File:Sean_O'_Neal.jpg was uploaded to Flickr the same day it was uploaded to commons. You need to hover your mouse over "Taken on January 4, 2016" to see this. This was exactly what Kavdiamanju was doing, along with the flickr accounts having the same names as the subjects e.g. this one mentioned in the ANI thread.

I also find the reappearance of Ireneshih at that article after a year-long hiatus rather strange. Note that there have been long term questions about Ireneshih regarding undisclosed paid editing and socking: Kavdiaravish SPI and Yekhai SPI. At the first, Ireneshih was linked with Kavdiamanju, although there was no technical evidence. SmartSE (talk) 21:50, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

 * It's, though by no means certain, that there is a relationship between and . However,  is technically ❌. Yunshui 雲 水  14:27, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't find enough here to make a determination of sockpuppetry between any two editors. I do find enough, however, to determine that is an undisclosed paid editor, based both on the text of the article and the Flickr stuff you mentioned. It's highly suspect for an article subject to upload a picture under a suitable free license to Flickr and then immediately have that incorporated into an article on the same day. I'm blocking Eimerbatine indefinitely for undisclosed paid editing. ~ Rob 13 Talk 17:55, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
