Rationale

• Reason: These 5 accounts are obviously connected per behavior, which is uploading the same kind of copyvios with identical sources. I've blocked them. Likely socks of an en.wiki LTA, one of whose socks here is the locked copyvio uploader Summer Is Going. I asked Courcelles, who's familiar with this case, and he requested any relevant CU info go to CU-L or cu.wiki. See User_talk:INeverCry#Possible_socks for more info, including some investigating of the copyvios uploaded by these 5 accts, and comment by Courcelles re the IP behind these, etc. INeverCry 01:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
• 3 more stale socks using same source for copyvio celeb uploads: Some People I Tell You!, Wanna A New Job (globally locked), and Right Wing Richard (globally locked). INeverCry 01:50, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

• All of these socks have live uploads here. Not sure about copyright status, but all images are in use in wiki articles. INeverCry 02:45, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment The sockmaster here is almost certainly User:Josh Rumage: w:Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Josh Rumage. INeverCry 04:21, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
•  Comment My understanding is that the former sockmaster of Josh Rumage here is/was Josh R. We hope (talk) 14:30, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
• I've created Category:Sockpuppets of Josh Rumage and tagged these socks. I used the full name to match en.wiki and avoid any confusion. INeverCry 18:26, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Need to add Rosalie My Darling to the sock list. We have at least 4 files from this sock uploaded in 2011. Am sending them to DR as they're all PD-not renewed with no proof of that offered. We hope (talk) 18:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

 Done Files deleted, sock tagged. INeverCry 20:47, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
