Rationale, discussion and results

Reason: Midnight68 has been blocked in 2010 and all his files were deleted. All these users do uploads that have suspicious links to Midnight68. Bluefarrow has uploaded a file that is authored by Midnight68, and indeed take a good look at the style of the drawing and compare it with the uploads of the rest of the users. Atleast Bluefarrow, Nevadawest, Crutchcargo and ThomasSaxon are uploading the same panty art pictures drawn in the same style. In this file CrossPlains and Bluefarrow have restored the naked version uploaded by CrutchCargo:[1].

Many of these users also upload pictures that feature an oldschool graphical player/reader: Nevadawest[2], Bluefarrow[3], ThomasSaxon[4].

There is also a similar sword logo that many users keep uploading: a file by EricaLakehurst[5], a file by NevadaWest[6], a file by CrutchCargo[7], a file by Bluefarrow[8].

Due to the fact that Midnight68 was blocked for serious legal reasons and there seems to be a lot of socking, I think that CheckUser is needed to uncover all sockpuppets and prevent further abuse. --Pudeo (talk) 23:53, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Just to be clear: I understand that Midnight68 is obviously stale (and so is EricaLukehurst), but there are sound reasons to suspect that all these accounts are him. Regardless of whether that link is true, CU should be used to check the connection between the active accounts of Bluefarrow, CrutchCago, Nevadawest and CrossPlains. According to an offsite-wiki [9] (possible NSFW), Midnight68 is also known as Simon Kirby and these accounts upload works credited to him via Flickr (such as [10]). --Pudeo (talk) 15:42, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

• Midnight68, ThomasSaxon, and EricaLakehurst and Stale; the others are technically Inconclusive. I'm not at all familiar with the history of Midnight68, or issues that may persist, but if this was/is a legal issue, you may wish to consider contacting legal-reports@wikimedia.org; otherwise, this can be brought to an admin noticeboard for handling based on behaviour.
