Accounts were created within 48 hours of each other, have only edited The Average Homeboy, and then there's the two comments by the puppeteer and Wordxtreme here. Everything is too close for it to be just a coincidence. Still requesting CU to confirm.  g s k  05:28, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm going to attempt not to inadvertently break anymore rules. First, I decided to create a page about "The Average Homeboy" because I'm from the same hometown as he is. He doesn't live here anymore. When I saw there was no page for him, and that a previous one had been deleted for invalid reasons, I decided to go ahead and create a new one myself. The first account I created was "Theblazinrapper14." But then I felt that account name might seem inappropriate, so I created "Thesideliner14." You will note that "Theblazinrapper14" has not been used, and therefore should not be relevant in any of this as it has clearly not been used for any malicious purposes. When I discovered that the page had been marked for Speedy Deletion (within hours of its creation),and that it could be taken down at any time, I wanted to move quickly. I was not at home and had trouble logging in and did not have my password with me to verify if I was entering it wrong, so I created another account, "Quikwikwriter." Beyond that, I have no idea who "Wordextreme" is, but I'm grateful to whomever it is, along with Tokyogirl79, whomever she is. None of these accounts have been used for anything that would fall under the malicious use guidelines you've set. I have made nothing but good-faith efforts to work within Wikipedia's framework as best as I was able to interpret them, but "GSK" has made numerous attempts to impede my doing so. I've apologized to this individual, expressed my intent to correct any oversights and work within your system (as the guidelines say to first make attempts to talk out any disagreements), but "GSK" has continued to make one fishing expedition after another. The guidelines also say that no accusations should be made except those that can be substantiated, yet in the complaints against me I see a lot of words and terms along the lines of "very likely the same user," or that things are "too close to be just a coincidence." Thankfully, the request for a Speedy Deletion was over-ruled by a third-party editor, Tokyogirl79. Please note I am not making any of these allegations lightly or with malice. They seem to be very well documented.

In summation, I am not guilty of any of the unsubstantiated accusations.

 * Is it really that difficult to get my name right? Wordxtreme called me GSX, you're calling me GSP. P or X are nowhere similar to K.  g s k  04:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I corrected my misspellings of "GSK." My apologies. I also removed reference to STATicVapor. As I commented myself, nothing I original mentioned in that regard can be substantiated. I stand by the rest of my statement. Thesideliner2014 (talk) 11:00, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Every edit by the account has been related to Average Homeboy, and activity on the account only started up again after was banned for using sockpuppets. Too much of a coincidence to ignore.  g s k  03:08, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
