 * Evidence
 * The three accounts were created within the last two days and have only contributed to one article: DeLaSalle High School (Minneapolis). Specifically, they have attempted to remove or neutralize the controversy created when the school (the subject of the article) built a stadium over the objection of community groups. This is a low-traffic article, and therefore especially vulnerable to abuse. Here are diffs by these editors:diff1, diff2, diff3. Similar edits were made by three IP editors on the same day.
 * Comments
 * This link shows the notability of the issue.--Appraiser (talk) 16:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Please remember to notify all accounts listed as possibly linked to the sock puppetry in question (instructions).


 * Although this case is of little importance and has low visibility, the evidence suggests to me that a single entity, perhaps connected to the school itself, would like the facts to be obscured. Little time has transpired, but I think it is important that the perpetrator learn that Wikipedia articles cannot be shaped by any individual with a goal by using false accounts. --Appraiser (talk) 15:29, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Note that one of the IPs involved is registered to DeLaSalle. Eóin (talk) 01:59, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Conclusion
 * Quite obvious. I have blocked all three indef as they're all clearly socks or meats and are just SPAs made to influence the flow of the article to suit their own POV. Scarian  Call me Pat!  16:31, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
