 * The user Deanb was blocked for repeated deliberate copyright violations on January 28, 2011. The user Lovetelaviv started editing on March 25, 2011.
 * The first Wikipedia edit by User:Lovetelaviv had an edit summary mentioning copyright issues, indicating both that he is not a new Wikipedia editor, and that he is especially aware of copyright issues.
 * Both users have edited articles almost exclusively related to Tel Aviv, including the article Tel Aviv. This is the highest-edited article for both users: Deanb – Lovetelaviv. Both users have almost 100% of their edits in the mainspace.
 * Especially, both users have made some of the same or similar edits, including this (Lovetelaviv) / (Deanb) (Deanb made this same edit about a dozen times). The significance of this particular edit is that this is a completely counterintuitive edit which other editors probably wouldn't, and indeed didn't make.
 * User:Lovetelaviv did not reply to a query I posted on his talk page. This is similar behavior to Deanb, who almost never replied to talk/user talk page comments. Moreover, from my experience, most new users actually do reply, or attempt to reply, to talk page comments.
 * Reviewing the contributions histories for these two editors, the WP:DUCK similarity becomes clear. I want to assume good faith, but have no doubt in my mind that this is the same editor. Ynhockey (Talk) 19:06, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello. yes, it is indeed the same one - I am Deanb, but I have created this user with the intention of never doing anything against Wikipedia rules or policy again. Therefore, I kindly request you to leave me alone - never will I upload pictures that are not mine again, and the edits I've done to the Tel Aviv article, are all alright, and are not against the rules. thank you {Lovetelaviv (talk)} —Preceding undated comment added 19:11, 13 April 2011 (UTC).
