User:Patkirkwoood has uploaded a number of unfree images of celebrities and images lacking any copyright information whatsoever, and that user and the two IP addresses consistently add those images to the relevant articles, even when better quality, free images are available. On Beatrice Arthur, both the user and the two IP addresses have frequently reverted other users who restored free images. User:Patkirkwoood has been blocked on at least one occasion; it is possible that the IP addresses are being used to evade the block. For what it's worth, both IP's are located in Brighton, England; no information on where User:Patkirkwoood is located.

 * Added a couple of other IPs. This editor is also active on Judy Cornwell, Ringo Brown and repeatedly vandalising 114. You've got vandalism, repeated violations of fair use policy, and edit warring to keep large amounts of unencyclopedic information in articles (see here). Even right after the block on 9 March you've got edits like this that violate fair use policy. One Night In Hackney  303  04:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Just as a notice, I've blocked 90.198.115.130 for continued disruption for 24 hours, sockpuppet or not. Cheers, CP 19:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * And unsurprisingly, back causing more disruption after the block.... One Night In Hackney  303  09:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Due to remarkable similarity of edits, I would also link this with Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of WJH1992. -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 18:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Do you want to officially wrap this up then, seeing as you've already wielded the banhammer? I think WP:RBI might be the best way to deal with this editor in future? One Night In Hackney  303  09:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Comparing the style of edits, I've blocked all these IPs for three months as sockpuppets of It would have been indef but these IPs may be reassigned. -- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 17:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Note Rodhullandemu also indef blocked Patkirkwoood. GBT/C 17:57, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
