 * Suspected sockpuppets

Almost all of the edits by the three users are to the article When in Rome (band), and since early February 2009 the edits for all three have been identical. The changes were viewed as vandalism and reverted, and I was asked to monitor, probably because I edit a lot of music articles, and I did a cleanup on that one in November. Because the edits persist, and are always the same, it was recommended to me to open a sock case. I also think the user might have something to do with the group, due to the nature and style of their various edits. Any help is welcome. Thanks!

 * editing whilst logged out is not, of itself, a breach of policy. Please provide timelines (with diffs) that show deliberate logging out in order to sidestep policy (for example WP:3RR) Mayalld (talk) 16:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * There doesn't appear to be any of that. I'm sorry, I didn't even know what a sockpuppet was until this morning when it was suggested to me when i asked for help over the repeated unsourced edits. What's the policy on that? Salamurai (talk) 21:18, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If a user adds unsource material, revert the edit, and warn them. If they continue in spite of warnings, take it to WP:AIV Mayalld (talk) 14:14, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
