- Code letter: F
- Supporting evidence: I've noticed a user Ari Publican who follows nearly identical editing practices as indef-blocked users The Mystery Man and The Special Education Squad.
- Compare the image uploading/editing patterns of Mystery Man to Special Education to Ari Publican.
-
- Uploads images in an identical fashion, including focus on biographic images & image name format (first name/initials, last name) (i.e. Image:LincolnAlmond.jpg, Image:EWEdwards.jpg). Also, he uses the Library of Congress and the Congressional Bioguide extensively.
- Properly sources images, but frequently uses bogus/unverifiable licenses (i.e. Image:LincolnAlmond.jpg, Image:EWEdwards.jpg).
- Overuses the deprecated {{PD}} template (i.e. Image:RobertLWilson.jpg).
- Doesn't leave edit summaries.
- And, he registered about 4 days after Special Education Squad was blocked indefinitely.
- Policy violations: Mystery Man was blocked multiple times (eventually indefinitely) for failing to adjust his disruptive image uploading habits and his unwillingness to work to improve his habits. After being blocked, he created an account called Special Education Squad which continued to upload images in the same disruptive fashion. After a checkuser confirmed they were the same, Special Education Squad was blocked indefinitely as well. Ari Publican continues in an identical manner as the latter two blocked accounts, and has uploaded several more images with bogus license tags. He may be trying to evade a block yet again.
