 * Evidence
 * Combatsurvival has been creating articles related to and his martial-art . These articles have been speedy deleted, CKM has also been deleted at an AfD. CKM and the Moni Aizik articles are now at their second AfDs ( and ), and it appears that Combatsurvival is now resorting to vote fraud to save his articles. Jackal2119 and 129.12.238.229 at CKM's AfD and Combatsurvival at MA's AfD, made similar claims of significance to the field of/history of martial arts, w/o detailing.
 * Both Jackal2119 and 129.13.238.299 have not edited at all, other than to vote at the AfD.  Rami R  22:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Diffs for new IPs:

We are now getting a meat/sockpuppet overload at Articles for deletion/Commando Krav Maga (2nd nomination) 7 single edit IPs (and Jackal2119) and rising. --Nate1481 15:20, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

We did not create multiple Wikipedia user accounts to vote on the subject of Commando Krav Maga. Commando Krav Maga is a widely practiced reality-based self defense system and we were asked by many of its practitioners and instructors to create the article. The original article contained advert content without appropriate referencing but after Wikipedia administrators informed us, we removed the advert content and referenced all factual information. Like the word Karate, Krav Maga is a generic hebrew term for contact fighting. In Wikipedia, different forms of Karate are all listed as they all have significant historicval context, such as Shotokan, Isshin-Ryu, Kenpo and so forth. As such, Commando Krav Maga is quite different in its approach to self defense from other Krav Maga systems. Although there are some similarities to the Krav Maga taught by other organizations, most of the elements are quite different. However, Wikipedia administrators were still going to delete the Commando Krav Maga article. We then informed Commando Krav Maga practitioners that the article was going to be removed.Combatsurvival (talk) 15:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * User:Combatsurvival has been blocked for username policy violations. Can we also get the other registered user blocked as a meatpuppet?  Rami R  19:56, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd let the user keep the other name & see if they edit productively before hitting them with a block, maybe a standard puppet master block of 24 hrs but that's almost punitive.--Nate1481 09:42, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

This seems to have run its course. Nothing from the other user since, and the articles seem to be well patrolled so it seems likely that if similar problems arise they'd be quickly spotted. Please relist if this happens. —S MALL JIM   18:04, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
