Rationale

• Reason: User:Overberg, who crossed my way when I dealt with some of his strange deletion-requests, shows the same edit characteristics as User:Sendker. Both very often use as edit-summary "erg"[1] [2], which is rather uncommon and probably an abbreviation for the German "ergänzt" (engl. completed). Both share an interest in river Glane in Germany. Sendker has uploaded 2 Glane-related images, Overberg has uploaded 4 such images.
  More importantly, which is also my reason for this request, both have filed deletion-requests for own uploads which are obviously abusive. For example, User:Sendker filed his year 2006-upload File:Ladberger Mühle.jpg on May 12, 2012 for deletion[3] due to "Rückzug ich will nicht mehr" (engl. withdrawal, I don't like anymore). When advised to file a DR, he claimed "badname"[4] on May 20, 2012, but didn't provide another name/file. On May 2013 he filed it again for speedy[5] due to "Urheberrechtsverletzung meinerseits" (engl. copyright violation by me).
  User:Overberg shows an identical behaviour. He filed his recent upload File:Glane.JPG for deletion, first due to "my own"[6], then due to "Urheberrechtsverletzung meinerseits"[7], using the identical wording as Sendker. After the DR Commons:Deletion requests/File:Glane.JPG had been opened by a different user, he expressedly assured me of committing a copyright violation[8], whereby I voted for deletion in the DR, before I became aware of the similarities between the 2 accounts.
  Note: User:Sendker had been indef-blocked on :de already in 2010 for sock-puppeting[9]. --Túrelio (talk) 22:35, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Results

• Nice catch. All are definitely Confirmed - he editted once from a public library (so obviously some collateral there - but that's OK) and elsewhere from other IP addresses, but otherwise no more clear sockpuppets as far as I can see. I can't block an IP address though, so if you decide to block, you can only block the accounts. Trijnstel_talk 15:54, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
