Evidence submitted by Mbinebri
User "Jessicawilli" created an article for the subject Brenda Destiny Williams several weeks ago and it was subsequently expanded by the IP 190.137.237.206 into what amounted to a blatant hoax, since deleted as such. Both users promoted the hoax in several articles (Jessicawilli: here; IP: here, here, here). On around the 25th of March, user "Jessica-sweet" recreated the article as Brenda Williams (model) and following edits by 190.225.240.183, the article was an exact (or nearly so) copy of the deleted article. 190.226.110.188 subsequently promoted the article here.

Prior to this, the article Brenda .M. Williams had to be deleted three times, and the user "Brendamwilliams"'s userpage contains a copy of the later articles deleted under different names. The article Brenda Michelle Williams was created by user "Doutzen" the same day as the previous article's final deletion.

I know I went a little backwards there, but an admin tagged Jessicawilli as the primary sock account without being aware of previous infractions. Clearly, as the hoax articles were deleted, a new account would be created to then create the same article under an altered name in attempts to avoid deletion.

Pretty clear. Blocked the accounts, gave Brenda a few days, mostly for the notice, due to age (only one IP is in the last week). ~ Amory ( u •  t  •  c ) 00:23, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

IP adding the hoax "Brenda Williams" to articles, just as numerous other sockpuppets of user Brendamwilliams did.  Mbinebri  talk &larr; 22:10, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

The IP looks stale to block and from the archives it changes, so I'm not blocking it. Although if more IPs come, we can see if we can do a rangeblock. Anyways, I've blocked Brendamwilliams for 2 weeks for repeated abuse.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 00:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
