It is suspected or confirmed that this user has been abusing multiple accounts.

Abusing flickr to upload photos that other people created and telling us stories with invented photographers such as "Blue Star Photography" has no place on this project. This is not a place for wild stories. Just use one account and tell what it is: You are related in some way to the subject of the photo, she is an unknown tv personality, you try to do some promotion in Wikipedia. In order to do so youre clutching at straws. This includes making photos with poor photography skills, and writing an article with extremly poor sources such as her website, such as the standard phrases from that tv station press releases. You try to blow up the article as much as you can, simply the usual spam blabla that we have in Wikipedia.

Anyway, there is no need (!!!) to create a terrible lot of sockpuppet accounts just to tell us this story. And there is no need to upload other peoples photos with false claims of own work, and no need to upload screenshots of content with copyright owned not by you. --Martin H.
