Suspected sockpuppets

The reported IPs keeps adding information to various Chinese language singers without providing references. I tried to verify the contents he had added but found they are very likely to be fake. Diff examples: 895156278 for 116.89 and 900907968 for 111.65. Personally, I believe that they are obviously the same person and it is common that IP of an editor changes with time. I brought this issue to Help Desk and was told to report it here. I also hope that someone could take a look on whether the two IPs deserve a (relatively long-term) block for adding unsourced information. Tiger (Talk) 02:14, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Here's a more recent diff for 116.89 (June 8, just as the one provided for 111.65). Looking at the contribs, 111.65 had a burst of editing between 13:28 and 13:33 on June 8, while 116.89 has edited both on June 5 (and before) and on June 8 after 16:00. It does look like 116.89 is a static IP, so that would be a legit report with the full picture; please correct me if I am wrong (I am the one who advised Tigerzeng to open an SPI assuming they had evidence of sockpuppetry.)

IP addresses can change with time without the user controlling it, so editing under multiple IP addresses alone is not sockpuppetry. Tigraan Click here to contact me 08:21, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
