This users are quite all single-purpose accounts filled the article Gilbert Tuhabonye copyvio and POV content despite warnings and reverts, copyvio related to the promotion of the Gazelle's Foundation. Style and field is the same, almost all (apart Mischamp) only edit this article, adding back this mass of POV/copyvio each time, and after seems they abandon the nick. Their way to start is to update bio or similar (see: CBrownATX, Mischamp). Anyway: 3 days ago CBrownATX added this. Soon after my revert and notice to user, the anon noticed above (I'm not sure is a SP but I suspect) added this content, partly copyvio. Rollbacked, CBrown added back again the same content. The day after Mischamp, an user with few edits in may 2010 and nothing else, added back the same content. PlfugerTxn, on 21 June 2013, added this refs after the opening of an AFC about Gazelle Foundation (please note the style). In february, GilbertsGazelles added this content (same of Cbrown and Mischamp), rollbacked as vandalism. One month later, he made this edits (cleaned up). Anyway, note the edits of Mischamp that, despite the self-described intent to update, overwrote the past edits, included the internal links and the fixes... also the ones at section titles (note "Audio interviews", "Personal records"...). This sounds like a copy-paste. I listed here also the article's creator, the oldest one, but I'm really not sure it could be related The article was originally so and this message in the talk increased my suspicions. To conclude, note this message of Mischamp, saying that he/she represents Tuhabonye. It seems to me a further clear admission connecting him/her to Cbrown, Plfuger and GilbertGazelles (ORGNAME). Note: all users have been indef banned by Drmies per spam. Sorry for my eventual mistakes, I opened the SPI with the name of GilbertsGazelles because I'm really not sure that Utcrosscountry (he edited only in 2007) could be the sockmaster.

 * Note: I forgot to add "|checkuser=yes" opening the page. I'm sorry, it's my first opening of a SPI. Is it possible to fix? --Dэя-Бøяg 22:20, 23 September 2013 (UTC) CU request added. I hope in the correct form. --Dэя-Бøяg 23:42, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
