u|Yhannot is an SPA and suspected UPE last seen in November 2018 pushing spam on behalf of the 'Global Innovation Institute'. They reappeared conveniently today to make a contribution to Articles for deletion/Anthony Mills (American Management Consultant), an AFD for an article that absolutely reeks of paid editing, and which was created by... u|Markmark1992, who appeared back in June to drop a perfectly-formed 42,000kb article repeatedly onto various places on Wikipedia, and has done nothing but push it ever since.

This is strongly suggestive of either sockpuppetry or a PR firm/paid wiki-writers working together. Hugsyrup (talk) 15:47, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

I can affirm that: 1) I hold no other Wikipedia account other than this one (nor would I have any desire to); 2) I do not know the user u|Markmark1992 (I have no clue who this person is); and 3) I have not paid u|Markmark1992 or anyone else to post any content on Wikipedia.

I have only ever added content or asked questions that I believed added value to the platform, in areas that were of a general interest to me. And the questions that I have asked have been objective and fair questions in keeping with Wikipedia guidelines. Mostly what I have been trying to do is learn the platform and its protocols. Never have I engaged in either of the above allegations. I find it unfortunately rather discouraging that apparently people cannot ask questions on the platform without being flamed like this.
