Accounts are violating WP:SOCK's rule of one editor, one account. However, I do not see any block evasion occurring, but I only inspected accounts starting with "Michele". A CU may reveal more. Clearly WP:DUCK with the naming pattern.

Accounts all see to deal with company logos, especially television/film companies. Example edits:, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

This user is also the one uploading the logo files.

 * The possible connection to INeverCry with this farm can be found in Commons contribution of Michele59massa5959okqwokqwokokqw, where the account edited/vandalized INeverCry's user page. But I'd like someone else to determine if this connection is strong enough, and if there are other evidences. -★- PlyrStar93 . → Message me. ← 00:32, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The accounts haven't been blocked on Commons, and the request for global block wasn't from a checkuser or even an administrator there. Peter James (talk) 18:52, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

 * CheckUser requested: The behavioral evidence is blatant enough to conclude that these accounts are related to each other, but I'm not familiar enough with INeverCry to determine whether this is him. Could a checkuser please examine the evidence and determine whether a check is necessary to confirm this is INeverCry and/or check for other accounts? A merge to Sockpuppet investigations/INeverCry may also be in order. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 00:22, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I believe the suspicion of it being an INC account is from https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:INeverCry&diff=prev&oldid=296527905 and the one following it. I've locked the additional accounts listed above. Green Giant (talk) 00:40, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

 * I have not marked the report as checked because I did not do a complete check. I checked a couple of the accounts, and that check turned up more of the above accounts, so in a sense I've checked maybe 10 (I didn't count). The data is consistent among those I've checked. They are using what facially is a legitimate ISP (INC often uses proxies), and it's not one that I've ever seen used before; nor is it in the true location I believe INC edits from when they don't use proxies. They are using a very common UA, and one that has been very infrequently used before. That's all the light I can shed on this. Other CUs may be willing to do more or may have other knowledge about INC. The CUs at Commons are usually in the best position to identify INC socks. Given 's actions, I would probably still merge this with the INC SPI, but that's not a request, just my opinion.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:08, 15 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Let's close this, the accounts I found had already been globally locked anyway. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:09, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Same pattern of username, uploading logo files and putting them in articles. The other socks uploaded logos to commons and inserted them in enwiki, while this one uploaded some to commons and some to enwiki, but still inserting them to articles. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. ← 00:24, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Don’t rely too heavily on sockname patterns. Michelemassa3 is obviously Michelemassa595959, whereas may be . See  who swims like INeverCry and quacks like INeverCry albeit superficially looks like Michelemassa595959. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:56, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Account created same day as Michelemassa3, same french slant to the username, performing exactly the same multiple logo edits to articles. Suggest a sleeper check this time, as multiple new accounts were created the same day.  Scr ★ pIron IV 17:35, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
