This sequence by itself is merely suspicious, but the following pages have also been edited by two or more of the listed editors, all of whom have edited few other articles:
 * Integrity: edited by Danbur, Preston Wescott Sr., Doug McCain,
 * Dwell: Danbur, Preston Wescott Sr., Doug McCain, BurnOMG
 * Grok: Danbur, Preston Wescott Sr., BurnOMG
 * Terrorism: Danbur, Preston Wescott Sr.

In addition, although this is perhaps a separate issue, BurnOMG placed a phony block notice on the talk page of JHunterJ (diff).

 * Conclusions
 * Based on editing patterns, these accounts do appear to all be related, and the IPs are probably related as well. I'm going to block all accounts for long-term sockpuppetry, although the IPs will have no action taken because they haven't edited anything since the edits listed above.
