 * Suspected sockpuppets

All three accounts have made similar edits that are borderline vandalism to Interstate 476 (hist), Pennsylvania Turnpike (hist) and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (hist). (I-476 is the Northeast Extension to the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and both highways are maintained by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.) I had given a notice on User talk:Penna Turnpike about the appearance of a COI because of the name and activity, so if the user moved on to Doggyroad107, that wouldn't be an issue, but the Interstate 80 editing concerns me as an abuse of multiple accounts.

Like the original account, this one has also made a questionable edit to the article to the article on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.  Imzadi 1979  →   04:34, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And now we have from another account sharing its name with the article it first edited. It may or may not be connected to the others, but it is strange.  Imzadi 1979   →   04:57, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And two more single-edit mobile editors hit the same article and make the same kinds of edits. One has been blocked based on the name of the account, but I've included it here in case a CU is run.  Imzadi 1979  →   05:41, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

 * - These socks are popping up pretty quickly, so I suspect there may be sleepers. Diffs are given for the first two and the last two only have one contribution each, should be easy enough to figure out. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 10:07, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Didn't find any sleepers at this time. However, in case you guys are wondering, rangeblocking right now does not look like a possibility. Elockid  ( Talk ) 16:28, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
