Evidence submitted by Diego Grez

User created article for Yeshiyah Amariel (Yamariel (talk · contribs)), who revealed identity on Wikinews [1] writing an editorial there (not accepted), signing it as "Yeshiyah Amariel; Business Analysis". User was eventually blocked for disruptive editing by Cirt (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) there. Enough is enough.

Nominated article for deletion here. Diego Grez ^{what's up?} 19:09, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it would need CheckUser evidence, just to know if there are more accounts that could be potentially used for advertising/spam. Thank you in advance. Diego Grez ^{what's up?} 19:14, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Comments by accused parties   

See Defending yourself against claims.

• Diego you should be ashamed of yourself... this is a clear abuse of power. First you accuse me of being Sam Santiago and get one of my past edits deleted, then you with bias attempt to block my article on Wikinews which was much much more sourced than the other you claimed it was coped from; and plus you got whoever to restrict me from editing or disputing these bias actions through proper channels. Now you're trying to get a page deleted on me that is perfectly sourced as well. Well its time for me to take my case on you to the high people over these admins you're controlling.Yamariel (talk) 19:49, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

• Comments and responses not related to the investigation were moved to the talk page. --Diego Grez ^{what's up?} 21:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

• What exactly is this? Don't use Wikipedia for edits anyway. During the US elections I actually copied the original info of the Amariel page from the Obama wiki page a while ago. After seeing all of this stuff pasted to my talk page I'm here, but I don't understand or care about any of this.Prestonpayne (talk) 07:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

 Clerk note: Please limit the discussion to the subject at hand: the accusation of sockpuppetry. Discussion not relevant to that should be avoided on this SPI case page. Thanks, Spitfire^Tally-ho! 21:18, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

•  Clerk note: I think it's fairly WP:DUCKish, and am fairly tempted to decline CU for that reason. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 18:12, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
