==== Rationale ====
* '''Reason:''' Usernames following the same logic and uploads focused on the same topics ([[:File:Expressió caveolina.jpg]], [[:File:Crystal structure of the HspBP1 core domain complexed with the fragment of Hsp70 ATPase domain.jpg]], [[:File:Screenshot 01.jpg]]) most of which appear to be copyvios BTW ([[:File:Small N1vkx-1-.gif]] deleted but re-uploaded, [[:File:Protstr-1-.gif]], [[:File:1gqi-1-1-.jpg]]).  –[[User:Tryphon|<span style="color: green">Tryphon</span>]][[User talk:Tryphon|<sup style="color:black">☂</sup>]] 16:56, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

::{{question}} From all evidences it looks like a school/college/university project. All accounts related to Catalan and Spanish Wikipedia, I strongly suspect a group of editors because of time overlapping, see some contributions [http://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:Contribucions&dir=prev&offset=20091215100000&target=BQmUB2009020 BQmUB2009020 (ca)], [http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:Contribuciones&dir=prev&offset=20091215100000&target=BQmUB2009019 BQmUB2009019 (es)], [http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:Contribuciones&dir=prev&offset=20091215100000&target=BQmUB2009013 BQmUB20090213(es)], [http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial:Contribuciones&dir=prev&offset=20091215100000&target=BQmUB2009011 BQmUB2009020 (es)]. On the other hand the group might be a smaller than the number of accounts, the accounts are created not on one day but over >2 months on various projects (es, ca, en, commons). Using the prefix searches [[:es:Special:PrefixIndex]], [[:ca:Special:PrefixIndex]] and [[Special:PrefixIndex]] I tried to find some information on Userpages or evidence from User talks - Nothing, no link to or from a project, no one with relation to a project is instructing them on their talk pages, so I can’t find a teacher or project coordinator I can ask to instruct the users about copyrights :( On ca.wp I found fair use images and [[:ca:Usuari:Lohen11/Control BQmUB2009]] for quality control - maybe (Lohen11 knows more). See my first result below, cant we solve this without blocking? Announce to the es./ca.wp-admins?
:::I don't know what's the best way to proceed. All I can say is that I've yet to see one of these accounts contributing a single image that is not a blatant copyright violation. –[[User:Tryphon|<span style="color: green">Tryphon</span>]][[User talk:Tryphon|<sup style="color:black">☂</sup>]] 18:39, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
::::Ah, found [[:ca:User:Jordicollcosta]], Secretary of Wikimedia Catala per [[:m:Wikimedia in Catalan]]. He edits some of the userpages, he maybe knows more about the project and how to prevent the participants from uploading copyright disruption on Commons and to tell the participants that an image need to be free and that it needs exact description, source and author references the same way as required in any other educational or scientific work. --[[User:Martin H.|Martin H.]] ([[User talk:Martin H.|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 18:46, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Note: We're having the same problems on eswiki, these series of users are uploading doubtful articles. I'll be alert if we find out something will CC it here. -- <small> [[User talk:Drini|Drini]]</small> 22:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
:By the way BQ likely stands for BioQuímica. -- <small> [[User talk:Drini|Drini]]</small> 22:32, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks, that was the missing word. Seems like someone knows something at [[:ca:Viquipédia:La taverna/Arxius/General/Recent#BQmUB2009?]]. --[[User:Martin H.|Martin H.]] ([[User talk:Martin H.|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:16, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

==== Results ====
* {{duck}} '''that they are all from the same university and that the project is coordinated''' by the university (user name). {{confirmed}} (one random account checked) that the IP is from an University. <small>From privacy policy I better not name the University name but if you look at all evidences the university name is obvious and fits my finding.</small> --[[User:Martin H.|Martin H.]] ([[User talk:Martin H.|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 18:18, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
: Just don't confuse a duck with a goose. The relationship with school and universities is one we should foster. Likely not the same person, definitely related. There's potential here to spread the wiki into schools, and educate them the right way to do things. -- <small> [[User talk:Drini|Drini]]</small> 22:22, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
:: I boldend the rest of the text after the duck to make my opinion more clear ;) I totaly agree with you. I consider this CU request already as done but im waiting for suggestions (or someone taking this job..) how to keep both sides happy: No copyright violation on Commons and a succesful and fruitful cooperation. --[[User:Martin H.|Martin H.]] ([[User talk:Martin H.|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:23, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
:: Yes, as far as checkuser, this is done. People on eswiki and cawiki are workingto contact the teacher, but that's.. a different story that will be told somewhere else ;) -- <small> [[User talk:Drini|Drini]]</small> 17:44, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
So, closed. The problem that projects ignore or not know copyrigths can not be solved in a checkuser request. However, the uploads by this accounts need a check, see e.g. [[:File:Adapt.jpg]] has a source in [[:ca:Adaptina]] - and here it was uploaded with a self claim. --[[User:Martin H.|Martin H.]] ([[User talk:Martin H.|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 13:34, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
