See this article history; the IP and the three named accounts seem to be tagteaming to add and restore verbose and unencyclopedic material to the article in spite of having had them removed by multiple editors, including me. I strongly presume that they are either the same person or a small group of people affiliated with the school. This inference is based on my observation of their similar styles and the similarity of the material they add to the article, the similar arguments they make in talk, and they all seem to turn up together. As disclosure, I wrongly blocked Indextookviewsgoals when I was likely too WP:INVOLVED to do so; I unblocked immediately when they requested unblock. Sorry about that. Another note is that Encyclopedia Geek seems to have borrowed my design for their user page; nothing wrong with that of course but a little suggestive. Pragmatically speaking, if these users are affiliated with the school they should not really be editing the article at all. At best they should have one account, not several. It will be difficult to improve the article if editors are continually swamped with socks wishing to restore a version of the article which looks like a clone of the school website.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' This edit (IP 74.110.198.236 blanking the user page of User:Encyclopedia Geek), along with other edit history and behavioral evidence, suggests that IP 74.110.198.236 is a disruptive IPSock of User:Indextookviewsgoals (the latter is now indef'd).

 * User:Mountainous Terrain just created (just got home from school and finished dinner on the East Coast?). First edit two edits create fully designed user page, third edit reverts redirect of George H. Moody Middle School, fourth edit is to Talk:George H. Moody Middle School. Same hyper-focus on the same article, same editing style, even same style of talk comments as the flock of WP:SOCKs caught before. quack quack quack! JoeSperrazza (talk) 23:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * See his response on his talk page, where he uses another sock account, User:Space Shuttle Endeavour, to deny using multiple accounts: . Also note user page of latest sock User:Space_Shuttle_Endeavour which states "I am interested in ... Sock puppetry"
