 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Shiroikaze created MingBridges here, which was nominated for speedy. Shiroikaze then created a different spelling of the article as Ming Bridges here, by copying over the current from the original article before blanking it (removing the speedy) here and then redirecting it to the new spelling here. Immediately after the creation of the new spelling of the article, user Mingbridgesxx removed the speedy on the new copied content here. This appears to be a sock with the intent of promoting artists from Funkie Monkie, as all edits revolve around promotion of such artists, and as part of the sock editing has attempted to avoid the speedy deletion process both by blanking a page and recreating it with a new spelling and then removing the speedy that was copied over in the recreation.

Follow-up: Mingbridgesxx has admitted a WP:COI here, saying, "I am Ming Bridges' manager Xiaohan from Funkie Monkies Productions Pte Ltd", which also suggests a COI with this other article Xiaohan_(lyricist) created by user Shiroikaze here. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:44, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I am Nicole (User name: ShiroiKaze). I created the article [Xiaohan_(lyricist)] back in 2006 or 2007 together with another user to recognize the contributions that Xiaohan had done for the Singapore Chinese Pop Music Industry.

Recently, I created another article for Ming Bridges (an up and coming Singaporean artiste with mixed parentage) using MingBridges as the title. Xiaohan, who is also Ming's manager, contacted me and requested me to shift the page to Ming_Bridges to reflect her actual name, which I promptly did (thus the creation of the new spelling of the article and moving the article to the new page). I did not notice the nomination for speedy in MingBridges and blanked that page (attempting to delete it but I couldn't find any way to) as I have already shifted the article to Ming_Bridges.

Xiaohan wrote the passage under the Talk section in response to the Speedy notice. The speedy nomination tag could have been deleted unintentionally during the editing process of the article as we are not highly proficient in wikipedia's coding terms.

I did not create the articles attempting to promote artistes from Funkie Monkies nor to use Wikipedia in any non-intended manner. I apologize for any misunderstanding that I might have caused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shiroikaze (talk • contribs) 15:25, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
