Evidence: This list of editors (and IPs) is a list of editors who have been making similar edits in regards to uploading a non-free image of Jeff Dye to replace the file there already, File:Jeff dye cropped.JPG, which is free. In most of these cases, the editors use the rationale for doing this stating something along the lines of the "request of Jeff Dye." Some of these edits were to upload the non-free image, and some were to remove the Orphaned non-free revisions tag from File:Jeff dye cropped.JPG after the non-free image was uploaded there, overwriting the free image at this title. Due to the overlapping of their edits at this point, it is a bit difficult to tell if this is a case of meatpuppetry or sockpuppetry; out of all of these on the list, the two that are probably the most related are and  as mentioned below.

(Note: I am requesting CheckUser due to the similarities to at least (the seemingly oldest account on the list (2011)) and ; out of all these accounts, there are the only two that seem to be autoconfirmed; in fact, 's 11th edit was uploading the non-free file File:Jeff Dye 2015.jpg (now deleted). So, if the two are related, I am suspecting there may be some sleepers.)  Steel1943  (talk) 23:20, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

 * All accounts are ❌. Given the behavior, you'd think that out of 10 accounts at least two would be related.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:23, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
