Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 10 external links on
Dave Fanning. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}

A flurry of edits have been made to this article, on Dave Fanning, in the last month from two users: johnoil9 ( talk · contribs · block user) and Davefanning12 ( talk · contribs · block user). While that in itself is not very noteworthy, it's a bit curious that for both accounts, no edits have been made to any other page on Wikipedia. This makes me slightly suspicious that it is the same person using multiple accounts. Per WP:MULTIPLE, it is preferable that users not use multiple accounts (or disclose it where necessary) to avoid sockpuppetry issues. What also has me a little suspicious is the activity coming from Davefanning12. Several photos have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons by this user that depict Fanning with prominent musicians ( U2, Bono, Billie Eilish). The photos appear to be from Fanning's personal collection (the photo with Eilish was originally posted by the real-life Fanning in a tweet). And the Commons file pages claim that they are the user Davefanning12's own work. So I see two possibilities: 1.) this user is just a fan of Fanning and improperly uploaded copyrighted, WP:NONFREE images to Commons, or 2.) the user is actually Fanning and owns the rights to the images but is creating a conflict of interest by editing his own page. I would appreciate others opinions on this. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 ( talk • contributions) 14:27, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
*:I don't understand this RFC either. Both users also appear to have stopped editing since 25 March.--
