All three users and the IP are very (almost exclusively) interested in Depeche Mode, all generally use four tildes in edit summaries, and their edits are very similar (in other ways). I strongly suspect that the latter three accounts were created to back up the former in edit-warring on their favourite article. A look at the page history should be persuasive.
 * Evidence

I am in agreement with John. All the evidence points to puppetry and I also suggest that User: 194.73.101.7 be given a look as well, since they are making the same counter-productive edits on the same Depeche Mode page. BGC 17:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments

Guitarlegs and IP blocked one week. Other 3 accounts blocked indef. Pretty convincing case. All users tagged.Rlevse 13:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
