 * Suspected sockpuppets

 * Editor interaction utility

2 accounts were created April 30, and the third was created today; those are the only 2 days editing. Their sandboxes seem to be formatted like newspapers, [] [] [] and that's all they work on. I call WP:DUCK. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 16:34, 8 May 2014 (UTC) Actually, can we get checkuser? I didn't think it was needed, but User:Hammersoft thought that it may be a class and that there may be more. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 16:41, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I think these people are students rather than sockpuppets. The students are probably doing what an instructor tells them to do. Our first priority should be to find this instructor and tell them that: bobrayner (talk) 21:42, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) The work, so far, obviously violates important wikipedia principles;
 * 2) Getting other people repeatedly criticised by multiple wikipedia editors is unlikely to make them happy & productive wikipedia editors in future;
 * 3) If the instructor actually wants to do something that builds wikipedia, they'll need to take a very different approach in future.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * An investigation to find and admonish the instructor is beyond the scope of SPI, so I'm marking this case for closure. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 14:16, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
