 * Suspected sockpuppets

All three users are SPAs who only edit Maryland Terrapins, or the closely related University of Maryland, College Park. All three insist on inserting content relating to traditions on Maryland Terrapins. TestudoTT-, SportsNut2k, Umdgrad88
 * Evidence submitted by Omarcheeseboro (talk)

Umdgrad88's very first edit was digging in history over a year old on Maryland Terrapins and restoring content that was deleted.

All three of these editors are very aggressive with reverting, and leave comments such as " Please initiate a new talk discussion for further edits" (umd), "If you want to make such drastic changes they will need to be approved in discussion or I will keep reverting. Thanks." (sportsnut).

The funny thing is that there has been clear consensus on the talk page, but it is ignored. Though I'm not here for a content dispute. The fact of the matter is that there are very clear signs that these are possible sockpuppets, and they are aggressively reverting the same exact content on a page Omarcheeseboro (talk) 03:11, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I am not taking any action on either this or Sockpuppet investigations/Omarcheeseboro; I don't see enough convincing evidence of sock puppetry in any case on either. Rest assured, if I see anymore edit-warring there without any discussion on Talk:Maryland Terrapins, I will protect the page, and nobody will be allowed to edit it (and if I protected The Wrong Version, then too bad).
