In parallel with COIN report, the articles Zhang Xin (businesswoman), Pan Shiyi, SOHO China and projects of SOHO such as Commune by the Great Wall were flooded with COI SPA for ages. Those users had access to PR photo of SOHO China and probably operated by the same sockmaster, or otherwise a team of PR. More stale account are listed in Talk:Zhang Xin (businesswoman), Talk:SOHO China and Talk:Pan Shiyi as they were obvious to spot in the past (username SOHO + some meaning suffix)

List of edits that adding obvious PR photos:
 * Special:Diff/837843937 (Panpan1103)
 * Special:Diff/838002906 (Januine)
 * Special:Diff/837987628 (Januine)

Restoring content that cleaned up from COI. See Special:Diff/838480607. May need sleeper check as another SPA account remove the prod tag on the same article (Commune by the Great Wall), and yet another SPA account add back the level 2 title of the content, matching the pattern of creating multiple account to split up the edits.

Also. A new SPA yet focused in the same interest (SOHO China projects and leaders), that edited on SOHO 3Q. Matthew_hk  t  c  12:22, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Not sure a sockpuppet or a meatpuppet, but the username was almost the same as now stale obvious COI/paid account. Yet again Ouyilian made extensive edit on Zhang Xin (businesswoman) as paid promotional edit, including upload yet another PR photo File:Zhang Xin, SOHO China CEO.jpg, which matching the socks of Panpan1103.

Yet again the articles SOHO China, the founders /couple Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin (businesswoman) got a shit load of 7 new users to edit from 14 May, on top of a sudden reactive that declared paid editing (proved Unrelated in previous investigation), which hardly make me to believe that it is not a case of meat puppetry / sock puppetry, based on past page history record of the articles. Despite some new accounts did edited unrelated topic (unrelated to SOHO China) e.g. Wang Sicong and Dong Mingzhu (case of, ) as well as one account correct another edit in SOHO China, some account such as  did had exact comparable edit to the confirmed sock of Panpan1103, so filed it in a lump sum.

 * 8. add the latest "new" user. Matthew_hk   t  c  12:54, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * The yelling in User talk:Yuese123 either refer to the revert in Zhang Xin (businesswoman), or he think my action to fix his reply that intersect with the templated message, was a revert. Matthew_hk   t  c  13:56, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Well, 9th new user after the check user was checking. Matthew_hk   t  c  13:41, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * , the 9th one is . I stopped to add the name as it seem it keep coming and more and more likely a mobilization of employee of whole department or even multiple departments or even external agency than a single sockmaster, despite some individual account did had strong connection in edit pattern including exact wording.
