Set 1 (pure numeric vandalism): Set 2 (earlier, numeric and other vandalism): Recent creations, haven't edited yet &mdash; may need checkuser:
 * Suspected sockpuppets

More sockpuppets since original report:


 * Evidence submitted by Closeapple


 * Set 1 is vandal-only accounts that randomly change the statistics and city rankings; current behavior since at least 2009-04-11 (as Bobdud56). Especially likes to target population history tables, increases/descreases, and demographic percentages.  Seems to hail from around Peoria, Illinois: Comcast addresses are those used in Peoria and Tazewell County, Illinois, and the Mediacom address is for adjacent Woodford County, Illinois.  Often targets Peoria-area towns.
 * Seems to have developed from Set 2, who used to make numeric and other vandal-like edits about Washington, Illinois and nearby high schools. 216.124.227.67 (Washington Community High School) and 98.214.203.27 (Comcast Peoria, whose area extends to Washington) and who added fake business names with statistics to Washington, Illinois in July 2008, and possibly 76.29.71.181 and 98.214.110.218 (both Comcast Illinois), who was diddling with both Morton High School and Washington topics as early as March 2008.
 * Pair of names at the end are Yayme accounts that haven't edited yet &mdash; I listed them for completeness, in case they're sleepers. --Closeapple (talk) 10:16, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
