[[Special:Contributions/Shkvoz|Shkvoz]] has been [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Darmahjgari confirmed] as a sockpuppet of {{user|Darmahjgari}} on en-wiki. Meaning that the account has been confirmed as being connected to [[:Category:Sockpuppets of The soso]]. Since Shkvoz has also made a number of uploads here on Commons, all fitting the pattern of previous socks, you might want to take action here too.

:Hi Tomas, if these are likely to be copyright violations, then you can raise a single [[Commons:Deletion requests|deletion request]] against one upload and point to the rest of the uploads from this account. There are not that many uploads, I have just looked at 2, and these would make me wonder exactly where the images of guns came from. Being uploads from a sock account, is not of itself a reason for deletion, let's not get into knee-jerk deletions, but it may lead the community to take a further look. Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 12:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

::5 seconds of Googling led me to [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:HKG36.jpg this] and countless other places that had hosted images long before they were uploaded here. Can we please all spend those 5 seconds of googling before spending a minute defending a throwaway sockpuppet account? --[[User:Conti|Conti]]|[[User talk:Conti|✉]] 12:42, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
