I have reason to believe that, where the problems seem to have originated from, is abusively socking in the article Michelle Williams (singer). All accounts (except Pokista002 and Punyetista02, those seem beyond obvious) always seem to add information about Williams' participation in Roxie Hart or The Color Purple, and text or images added always seems to be copyright violations from somewhere: Pokista02's text copyvio, Pokpokme, Alcantaratista, Bobbygt92, Well i am fierce enough. After looking through the article's history, I noticed that each account was shortly made after another one was no longer in use. Strangely enough,  added the image File:MichelleWilliams001.jpg to the article, originally uploaded by. Even though the current image (and several others) seem to be pictures of pictures on a computer screen, I distinctly remember one of the accounts listed (don't necessarily remember which account) uploaded these exact same pictures, only the actual image itself, not a picture of the image. I've requested CheckUser because, due the the account hopping of at least two months, should check for other possible accounts that I've missed. —  Σ  xplicit 00:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Copyvio by past sock, exact same copyvio from this new account. That, and the fact that the username ends with "02", as three other accounts have, make this case quite WP:DUCK. —  Σ  xplicit 05:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Pokista02 is back yet again. As in the first case, the sock is adding images originally uploaded by, another of Pokista02's sock. That, and the heavy editing of similar articles that Pokista02 has contributed to, including Beyoncé Knowles, Britney Spears, 2NE1 (EP), Yoon Eun-Hye, Joo Ji Hoon, etc., point to the obvious. Also note that this username, similarly to (another sock), both relate to albums (Well i am fierce enough to I Am… Sasha Fierce and I'm a She Wolf to She Wolf). —  Σ  xplicit 03:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Seems like a duck. Username is fairly similar to, editing the same principle articles, Michelle Williams (singer) and Unexpected (Michelle Williams album). Unsurprisingly, this new account is adding the same content that User:Pakista02 had. — ξ xplicit  06:18, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
