Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/KissmeKate/Archive

Evidence submitted by Hekerui
The vote on the GA/FA nomination on the German Wiki for Manuel Rivera-Ortiz was abridged on account of suspected sock puppetry of KissmeKate, SwissLawyer, and Fotografenauge intended to push a result - see here. This and two other have acted on the English Wiki to push GA/FA nominations and have the following similarities:
 * KissmeKate: uploaded images File:MRO Yamuna River Delhi 2005.jpg and File:Bolivia Altiplano 2004.jpg by Rivera-Ortiz "with permission of author", nominated Manuel Rivera-Ortiz for GA on the English and German Wikipedias prior to supportive reviews by Kinglear, SwissLawyer, Fotografenauge, and TheRightEye
 * Kinglear: uploaded images File:MRO Cuba Harvest 01.jpg and File:Manuel Rivera Ortiz Paris Dec 2009 01.jpg by Rivera-Ortiz "with permission of author", reviewed English Manuel Rivera-Ortiz GA nomination by KissmeKate unequivocally excellent, followed in short succession by Fotografenauge and TheRightEye
 * SwissLawyer: argued for FA status of the German GA nomination by KissmeKate, citing subject's skin color, edited Manuel Rivera-Ortiz in close succession with KissmeKate and Kinglear, and argued for immediate pass at the English nomination
 * Fotografenauge: argued for FA status of the German GA nomination by KissmeKate, citing subject's skin color, account created the day of the GA nomination, added supportive comments in close succession to Kinglear to the English GA nomination of Manuel Rivera-Ortiz
 * TheRightEye: account created the day of the GA nominations, added supportive comments in close succession to Fotografenauge and Kinglear to the English GA nomination Hekerui (talk) 19:06, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

See Defending yourself against claims. I only saw this allegation just now. SwissLawyer and I are different persons, even though we live in the same house. He is a lawyer and I am an economist. The other users are not me. I have indeed contacted the photographer in question to obtain his permission to publish his photographs in Wikipedia. KissmeKate (talk) 19:35, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Looking at the history of Talk:Manuel Rivera-Ortiz/GA1 here, the sock puppetry is fairly evident. All registered accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged. –MuZemike 22:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

looks like block evasion - global contributions conclusive, had article on glwiki deleted because local admin came to the same conclusion about sockpuppetry and promotional activity Hekerui (talk) 21:07, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Technically, is ❌; I'll leave it to an independent admin to determine if unblocking is warranted due to the behavioral evidence given in the previous SPI. –MuZemike 21:53, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
