Evidence submitted by User:Mateinsixtynine
In the article American Basketball Association (2000–present), user BasketballHistorian created a new account very recently and has only been editing the article to remove most of the history section. Starting today, a new ip address has been doing the same edits with the same comments. And just as I was writing this, a brand new account SportsPHD made the exact same edit as the others.

I have a feeling this might be related to another SPI case, Sockpuppet investigations/Basketnews, based on this threat made by one of the susspected socks. Yworo (talk) 12:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * They don't seem related to me. Just to name a few, a big difference between this case and the other socks of this case is that the primary articles, Craig McKenzie and Marcus Brown were not edited. Furthermore, there isn't a constant use of edits marked as minor used by the accounts in this case.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 12:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
