Block evasion. Identical spamming of Richard Slaughter with copyrighted blurbs from Slaughter's website and copyrighted images of his books' jackets, and much mucking about with carriage returns, trying to get the spacing of the images right.

 * This is obvious to the point that a checkuser is unnecessary. Sock blocked indef and Ravindra's block has been extended to indef, since he/she seems to have no interest in actually communicating with other members of the project. You can also throw in . Article has also been semi protected to keep the IPs and new accounts out. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:08, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Another obvious sockpuppet. Uploaded several copyvio photos on Commons, including photos of Richard Slaughter, and once he was autoconfirmed following a few edits to other articles, has spent the whole morning re-adding a comprehensive catalogue of Slaughter's books and papers, identical to that added by puppeteer and removed last month. He's also re-added the same promotional text "While the road ahead remains extremely challenging, Slaughter’s overall view..." that was added by the puppeteer.

 * I ran CU on this account at Commons and I would say this is definitely a sock of . I've blocked it over there.  INeverCry   18:40, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Alright, per Commons checkuser results and en.wiki behavioral evidence I've blocked Web Suvin indef as a sockpuppet. Closing now. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:02, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Another obvious sockpuppet for block evasion. One of his first edits was to add a request to have page protection removed from Richard Slaughter: compare to same request by sockpuppet Web Suvin on 6 Jan. When he doesn't get a reply, he goes off and makes a few edits to get autoconfirmed, then gets straight to work copying and pasting the same unsourced puffery as was removed before, evidently from an offline document somewhere:, , ,  Ruby   Murray  13:59, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
