User:Smkaram, likes User:TadamonSour19, claimed Ali Sabra wore no.10 for Monza but no shirt number exist in Italian 3rd level and below. After i said Italian 3rd division club cannot sign non-EU player (on afd), the ip user added an un-sourced information of Italian nationality. Matthew_hk  t  c  11:59, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

See Defending yourself against claims.

To start with, Iv never seen that username in my life. Secondly, why would I be lying to a well-recognized online encyclopedia. If it's such a "hoax" then do some research and find out where I got this information.

And by the way, you're such a nerd. -.- Smkaram (talk) 15:54, 30 January 2010 (UTC) User:Smkaram 17:53, 30 January 2010 (LLT)

 * Per WP:PROVEIT the requirement to validate content is on the person adding or wanting to keep it. Per WP:V challenged material must be supported by WP:RS.  The comments and actions of Smkaram in this discussion are not consistent with WP:CIV and the general expectations of Policies and guidelines. I differ to User:Matthew hk as the subject matter expert on the content being added.  Further investigation into puppetry is indicated.  If the user is not a banned sock, then some mentoring on exceptions would be appropriate to prevent this user from becoming blocked or banned in the future.

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
User:TadamonSour19 indefinitely blocked and tagged as a sock. No action taken on Smkaram, as he is already blocked for the copyvio. Also, no action taken on the IPs, as none of them have not edited for a while, and quite a few of those IPs have unrelated edits, telling me that there are other people on these IPs. –MuZemike 00:56, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
