Suspected sockpuppets

All accounts were created within one minute of one another, and all have been adding similar vandalism and disruption to White hat (computer security), two of which are the exact same vandalism (diff 1, diff 2). Given the vandalism, I suspect that these users are all created from the same IP and school. Requesting CU to confirm that these are from the same IP, check if there are other accounts that were made, check as to whether or not the underlying IP address is a school, and if an IP school block is necessary.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:09, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I've indef'd all of the accounts listed, as the behavioral evidence is obvious. However, I think that a CU check is necessary in order to investigate (and possibly apply a school block to) the underlying IP address, and see if any more accounts like this are active.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   05:11, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * They're likely all editing from a shared location where there are public computers. There are minor variations between the accounts, but they're all on the same IP, along with several more WP:NOTHERE accounts, including:
 * I think it's OK to just block these accounts and leave it at that unless a clerk feels it necessary to move the case or tag these other accounts. I personally wouldn't bother, but that's just me. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:38, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
 * NinjaRobotPirate - For accurate record-keeping and in order to be consistent, I'll go ahead and locate the oldest account between these users and move this case accordingly. I agree that it's probably not necessary to tag each account, and I'm not going to bother with doing so. Like you said, these users are from a shared location, and (based off the evidence I found) I think that the shared location is a school. These accounts are most likely not controlled by a single person, but by multiple people that were coordinating with one another to cause disruption here.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   07:42, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
