The pattern of disruptive edits for indef blocked user and  is nearly identical. The users began with similar edits (diff for 68.3.164.37 & diff for Lantern40) to articles for high schools in the Phoenix, Arizona, followed by blanking of random pages {diff for 68.3.164.37 & diff for Lantern40). When warned on their talk pages, the users would blank the warnings using nearly identical misleading edit summaries (diff for 68.3.164.37 & diff for Lantern40) and personal attacks (diff for 68.3.164.37 & diff for Lantern40). Lantern40 also reverted several warnings on 68.3.164.37's talk page.
 * Evidence

It would appear that after the Lantern40 account was blocked, the user resumed editing using the IP connection, possibly from another computer. Caknuck 05:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Update: A new puppet account was registered today and was used to remove the suspected sockpuppet template and vandalism warnings from 68.3.164.37's talk page (diff1 & diff2). Caknuck 18:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
