All are editing either Ekaterina Sedia, her book The House of Discarded Dreams or both. They all do upwards of 20 edits in their sandbox over a period of a couple of days.

 * The technical and behavioral data is consistent with this being a school project. Might want to notify the users at issue and see if we can get to the teacher of the class. T. Canens (talk) 07:08, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Left a note at one of the pages. I don't anticipate taking action here, but leaving this open so that this doesn't slip away. Rschen7754 07:58, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Closing this case - I see no reason to keep it around. The users are clearly not socks, and there is no abuse of multiple accounts going on (per WP:SOCK). There's no engagement of meatpuppetry either. If it becomes abusive, then we handle it at that time. Sh i r ik  ( Questions or Comments? ) 23:53, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
