JustMyType Flickrwashing

Blatant Flickrwashing to launder images stolen from official football club Facebook pages. As only a couple examples:

Stolen from Deportivo Saprissa:

Stolen from Carrusel Morado FP

Stolen from Club Sport Herediano

Examples

Cappack

Nevermind that log entries can only be hidden in their entirety, and such hiding will itself also leave a log. I couldn't let such a thing stop me, so I apparently contacted WMF developers and convinced them 1) to change the mediawiki software to allow me to truncate the log, 2) to delete reference to or trace of the modification, and 3) to edit CommonsDelinker's edit summary and similarly delete references there. I apparently did all of this in the seven minutes between 19:38 to 19:45. ("I didn't think that was even possible, but apparently it is.") Thankfully "types of users [like me] have the privileges available to just destroy the evidence."

Or, just maybe, Cappack saw "Undid revision 1023514814 by Cappack (talk)" on en.wiki and conflated the two. Occam's razor? Assume good faith? Modicum of clue? Not when you have delusions ("I don't have the proof so I know it'll be dismissed") of an Elcobbola and WMF dev team conspiracy.

Panam2014

CU

Dereck Camacho opened a Request for checkuser with evidence summarized as follows:
This alone was adequate evidence to suggest Drgfrt was a sock or meatpuppet. Indeed, Yann, a former CU, blocked Drgfrt for "Abusing multiple accounts" approximately 4 hours after the RfCU was filed, and approximately 6 hours before I saw the RfCU. Nevertheless, as a supplement and as a smell test, I additionally found and considered, for example:
  • Both Panam2014 and Drgfrt had edited Grand National Assembly of Turkey (Panam2014, Drgfrt) and had edited related to Venezuelan politics (Panam2014, Drgfrt). Turkey and Venezuela are quite different countries by any measure. It is unlikely that two unrelated accounts, especially in consideration of the RfCU evidence, would share an interest in these particular countries; accordingly, this further suggested the plausibility of a relationship.
  • Panam2014 has been blocked multiple times, on multiple projects, over an extended period of time for edit-warring ([14], [15]) indicating both a willingness to edit war (i.e., a demonstrated willness to disregard policy and good conduct when it suits him) and an awareness that edit warring is disallowed and sanctionable (i.e., that socking might allow evasion of new sanctions).
All of the above factors, in the aggregate, plausibly suggested a connection and formed a reasonable basis for a check.
