This... is going to be somewhat complicated. I came across this via a page for K Aquinz and I ended up taking a look at his user page, which was a clear WP:U5 violation (not webhost). A look at his other edits showed that he's edited on several userpages with COI usernames. As I went through these userpages I quickly noticed that there seemed to be a theme: one account would edit on one COI userpage and then that other user would edit on another one and so on. For example, K Aquinz edited on Export world's page, then Export world edited on Billboard Brasil Charts's page, who then edited on Awards Teen's page, and so on. I've deleted the pages in question and some have edited on more than one user page, but the basic modus operandi seems to be the same: to use the userpages as a webhost for various content and to have a name that gives off the impression they're editing on behalf of an award or organization. I've blocked the various accounts and I think I've got them all, but there might be more so I'd recommend a check for sleepers.

Here's a rundown of who has edited on whose page: (I am not including the editors' own userpages in this rundown, just other pages)


 * 1) K Aquinz: Export world, Billboard Brasil Charts, Awards Teen
 * 2) Export world: Billboard Brasil Charts
 * 3) Billboard Brasil Charts: K Aquinz, Awards Teen
 * 4) Awards Teen: Export world, MTV Latin Music Awards, K Aquinz
 * 5) MTV Latin Music Awards: K Aquinz

 * I've tagged each of the pages accordingly as a sockpuppet suspect. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:34, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
