Evidence

This user registered just over a month ago, and has a single purpose account. They are very keen for a certain section relating to a non-notable organisation to remain on a prominent article (Princess Diana article) in a very prominent manner.

When the section was removed/reduced/given its own (non prominent) article, they entered into an edit-war.

The user seems very aware of wikipedia protocol, creating links, formatting talk pages etc.

When I searched around a little online I found an old talk page of the user http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Rajkumar_Kanagasingam he had previously worked on an article relating to the exact organisation that Bermudatriange is trying to make prominent.

On Rajkumar_Kanagasingam's user page he states he is working on his book title "German Memories in Asia" which struck me as a little odd, as that book is referenced on the Princess Diana page.

Upon looking for that book online I found this http://books.google.lk/books?id=MrBi0ghiZN0C&pg=PR10&dq=%22Princess+Diana+Institute+of+Peace%22+Sri+Lankan&lr=&sig=8rFcVCp-35tJnXLVfXfrupnX2r0#PPR10,M1 which states that he actually founded the Institute that Bermudatriangle is trying to keep in a prominent place on wikipedia.

Also when reading a little more about this author, I came across the following. http://ezine*remove the stars and the text, as this site is on a wikipedia blacklist*articles.com/?German-Memories---Ancient-Germans-Migration&id=560308 which has one interesting line "Going further back, most of the current territory of Germany was occupied by Celtic and Nordwestblock tribes who were eventually linguistically assimilated into the Germanic peoples."

This was of interest because Bermudatriange has claimed that he was from Nordwestblock http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Diana%2C_Princess_of_Wales&diff=cur&oldid=209247329

When I mentioned the user Rajkumar_Kanagasingam to Bermudatriangle, he reacted by saying that my use of that name proved I was politically motivated. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:Bermudatriangle&diff=cur&oldid=209736961

If he has only been here for a month, and has only edited one article, then how would he know that editor?

I have asked him straight if he has edited with another account, but he refuses to answer the question.

I had always wondered why he was so keen on promoting that particular organisation, it is not highly political, it does not support anything other than peace. But the user was hell bent on making it prominent, now it seems obvious, he founded the organisation and wrote a book about it!!! slight COI. well not slight at all. about as blatant as is possible.

Add to the suspicion of being a sockpuppet the fact that he has already been blocked for 3RR, has today been warned for racially motivated comments, abusing edit summaries and is a blatant single purpose account, I think there are more than enough reasons to request a permanent block from editing for this account


note - excuse my attempt to bypass the spamsite blacklist, i consider this information to be of great importance and relevance to this case.
