This user is a WP:SOCK of @Kennywpara: After looking at their contributions[1], it appears they made this name following a deletion of the images they had uploaded to Wikipedia Commons using the name Kennywpara [2] in order to re-upload them (e.g. [3]). The corresponding Wikipedia Commons to this account[4]. Using this name, they attributed what ought to have been in Category:Hydraulic_Fracturing and Category:Seismology to Category:Anti-fracking movement and re-uploaded the images[5] which were deemed not to have a CC (cc-by-ND 2.0)[6] that can be used on wikipedia/commons[7].This comes across as WP:GAMING and there have been since 2014 promotional/advocacy problems with the main WP:SPA account using the Hydraulic fracturing in the United Kingdom article to promote their WP:Activism (now at breaking point, although partial/understated WP:COI has been declared after much heated discussion, but not in the manner that most wikipedians disclose COI. See, for example, BeecherP's disclosure at Talk:Hydraulic_fracturing_in_the_United_Kingdom/Archive_1#Political_issues and User:Fyldeman, who additionally includes their COI in their signature). I do not know if they have any other socks. Luther Blissetts (talk) 13:12, 25 December 2016 (UTC) Luther Blissetts (talk) 13:12, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't worth the trouble. The alleged sock hasn't edited in over two years. The central problems with Kennywpara seem to have nothing to do with sock puppetry. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:38, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
