 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

See Sensei Ali Tabatabaei and Shorenji Ryu Karate. Mostly active on and en: with minor activity on ja:. Both users uploads lots of copyvio files on karate (see deletion requests listed on their talk pages on en: and ). They place out of scope text at places where text needs to be placed and at least text inserted by Shorenji Ryu Karate has been proven to be copyvio. For example, I have just requested speedy deletion of ja:利用者:Shorenji Ryu Karate because of copyvio. They seem to have similar behaviour, so I suspect that they are the same user. Currently blocked on several projects:
 * Sensei Ali Tabatabaei: (indefinite),  (2 weeks), ja: (indefinite)
 * Shorenji Ryu Karate: en: (indefinite) Stefan2 (talk) 23:45, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I just found a third one (currently only on Commons) with similar image uploads. Commons:User:Karate Iran History contains mostly the same text as User:Sensei Ali Tabatabaei. Will cross-post on Commons about this. --Stefan2 (talk) 00:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
