 * User:Mischellemougly replaces a redirect with content at Night Shift Studios on 4 June 2024‎ and Rcwikwong starts editing the same article after 15 hours.

All of the above are cases of WP:OBSART and indications of WP:UPE. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 15:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * FWIW, I don't think these are fans because not all fans would create a burner account just to add an image on the same day the account is created. This, AFAICS, has only happened in articles created by Mischellemougly.
 * Girish Prabhu isn't wikilinked much nor was it reviewed until January 15, 2024. But the image was added on November 23, 2023.
 * Likewise, Chella Ayyavu has two incoming links, is not reviewed yet and does not appear in a Google search but still User:Filmchennaimedi has added an image.
 * These are less known technicians/directors i.e. obscure articles with less than |Chella_Ayyavu|Girish_Prabhu|Night_Shift_Studios 30 page views, so it's highly unlikely to be a coincidence.
 * Mischellemougly's commons upload, C:File:Vijay Sivan.jpg, is also a red flag where the artist has mentioned "Copyright free!" in the image description. I have reported around 150 images on Commons and have never come across something like this unless there is undisclosed COI. Mischellemougly also has a paid warning on their talk page from a different editor. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 08:47, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Girijashankar Sundaresan was created on 5 July 2024‎. User:Sankrans adds an image on the same day the account was created, 7 July 2024.
 * These are clear indications of WP:OBSART and the behavior of adding an image only happens on the articles created by Mischellemougly. Editors cannot just come across an article with zero incoming wikilinks. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 15:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Image added by User:Sankrans is delinked on 8 July 2024‎. User:Ajirig was created just to add an image back, on 11 July 2024. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 04:26, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

 * The accounts that are not stale are technically ❌. This does not rule out off-wiki coordination, for which . My gut feeling here is that these are fanboys, and not socks; but that remains to be seen. Vanamonde93 (talk) 03:09, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
