Substantially similar patterns of WP:SPA activity pretty much confined to articles related to Ge Wang and the people, products and topics closely associated with him, including Ge Wang, Perry R. Cook, ChucK, Smule, PLOrk, Live coding and TAPESTREA. This editor first came to my attention at Articles for deletion/ChucK. Relevant discussion may also be found at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (especially near the end) and at User talk:FuFoFuEd, where I've asked if he edited previously under different names and if he has any relationship with Ge Wang.

Don't forget to suspect: another SPA who created an article about a Smule product; OMG that guy could use templates! It is indeed impossible that an editor creating an article about someone profiled in the New York Times, USA Today, The Sydney Morning Herald, The BBC, and IEEE Spectrum is not a sock of the lucky bastard who got all that media attention! In fact this assumption is entirely normal when coming from someone promoting their own product here, and bashing those of their competitors. 20:17, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Of all the accounts and IPs listed above, exactly one - FuFoFuEd - has edited in the last three years. I'm sorry, but this is incredibly stale. There is no actual abuse of accounts going on here, so I'm closing this for now. Relist if there's any actual abuse. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 21:35, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
