Anon editor 101.100.11.125 has made identical edits over the past three days to YG Entertainment, , , , , and to MX. Also twice attempted on 26 may to add fake credits to MX (Michael Angelo Oentardi), pasted verbatim from Kang Min-ah,. Attempted to contest speedy deletion of same article at its talk page, a few hours before Kpop05 added a similar objection. Uncle Roy (talk) 10:18, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Hang on. Sorry, but I've only just this second noticed that Fragmaroom created MX (rapper) about a British artist, not Korean. That, plus the time gap involved, almost certainly means that MX (Rapper) et al. are separate articles, and the correct puppeteer is Kpop05. Uncle Roy (talk) 13:34, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Recreation of MXE Entertainment (one of many versions) along with some meat puppetry by YGfamily who blanked/messed with the AfD and contested the deletion on the talk. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  12:08, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I do see events that appear suspicious. After 's last edit to MXE Entertainment (deleted) on 8 June 2017 at 05:17, the account is created on 8 June 2017 at 05:44 (just under a half an hour later). Comparing the creation revisions by  and  (see here and here) (both deleted revisions) show a significant amount of content is nearly identical and between four days. Other than this, I don't have enough evidence to assert that  are directly connected to  or  and operated by the same person. I definitely believe that meat puppetry is probable, but I don't have enough direct evidence to say that it's sock puppetry.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   21:17, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I've indefinitely blocked and tagged the account for sock puppetry based on my findings above.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   21:19, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
