-Both [[user:Singopo|Singopo]] and [[user:Purple Watermelon|Purple Watermelon]] both edit and comment on matters of Debating (Purple Watermelon almost the only thing he or she edits on) during a heated discussion on the the content and layout of [[European Universities Debating Championship]] both users took up positions contra to mine.
-During the discussion on [[Talk:European Universities Debating Championship]] this morning [[user:Singopo|Singopo]] commenting (with [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AEuropean_Universities_Debating_Championship&action=historysubmit&diff=343996174&oldid=343989880 this] edit] about a clarification placed on the article by [[user:Purple Watermelon|Purple Watermelon]] (with [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=European_Universities_Debating_Championship&action=historysubmit&diff=343952138&oldid=343948246 this] edit) said "The clarification that Singopo put in the text is useful" - why would you claim you made a comment using your user name when it was in fact another user - unless you and that other user were one in the same.

-I also belive s/he has been using [[User talk:116.88.12.108|116.88.12.108]] judging by this [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring&diff=prev&oldid=213430047 diff] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/116.88.12.108 Contributions] not necessarily deliberate - most likely of a 'forgot to log in' but thought I would add it to the mix.

-This accusation seems to be based on the fact that I made one typo while typing up something quickly earlier today. [[User:Singopo|Singopo]] ([[User talk:Singopo|talk]]) 13:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
-: I am not sure it is possible to mean to type "Purple Watermelon" and end up typing <b>your own username</b> "Singopo" - may be if you had been cutting and pasting and did not check what you had pasted, but since you say you were typing that can't be the case.[[User:Codf1977|Codf1977]] ([[User talk:Codf1977|talk]]) 13:19, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
-:: I honestly don't remember if I was typing or cutting and pasting. I definately typed at least most of the message. I may have cut and pasted bits of it and then failed to amend it properly. [[User:Singopo|Singopo]] ([[User talk:Singopo|talk]]) 13:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
-::: That does not explain why "Singopo" was in your cut & paste buffer. [[User:Codf1977|Codf1977]] ([[User talk:Codf1977|talk]]) 17:26, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
-'''I see no reason to continue any pretence. I admit to sockpuppetry. I apologise for abusing Wikipedia's procedures. I got carried away in defending my views on debate-related pages about which I had some strong opinions. It was a stupid thing to do and I was wrong to do it. I regeret my actions.''' [[User:Singopo|Singopo]] ([[User talk:Singopo|talk]]) 14:52, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
-I will come clean. I have used the following accounts to vote multiple times in debate-related AfDs: [[User:Singopo]], [[User:Purple Watermelon]], [[User:Dorange]], [[User:Hammersville]] and [[User:Boboba]]. I am very sorry for abusing Wikipedia process in the way. I have a couple of other accounts too, but have used them only for editing different areas and have not used those accounts abusively. I got carried away with debate-related articles, and it was wrong of me to do so. I apologise sincerely. [[User:Singopo|Singopo]] ([[User talk:Singopo|talk]]) 15:23, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
-:One of the accunts has never voted on an Afd which is odd.[[User:Slatersteven|Slatersteven]] ([[User talk:Slatersteven|talk]]) 15:42, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
-:: Which one ? [[User:Codf1977|Codf1977]] ([[User talk:Codf1977|talk]]) 15:50, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
-:: I must admit to being totality shocked by this revelation - If what [[User:Singopo|Singopo]] has said is ture - it seems like a well thought out and executed plan going back over many years to influence WP and to distort the importance of university debating - only being found out by a single slip up.[[User:Codf1977|Codf1977]] ([[User talk:Codf1977|talk]]) 15:50, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
-:::[[User:Boboba]] appears to have never "vote multiple times in debate-related AfDs" (to quote the accused), or even once [[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Boboba]] the user has voted in one Afd in 2007 [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Andr%C3%A9_Walker]]. As did [[User:Dorange]], so it would appear that this is not restricted to just debating. Assuming that this admision is true, I think that the IP needs checking. If this is true thyen all the Afd's have been riged (that passed) what is the procedure there?[[User:Slatersteven|Slatersteven]] ([[User talk:Slatersteven|talk]]) 15:59, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
-:::: I also think that [[User:Singopo|Singopo]] needs to come clean about all his accounts as I suspect an editing ban is all but inevitable. [[User:Codf1977|Codf1977]] ([[User talk:Codf1977|talk]]) 16:18, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
