All three accounts (the first two of which are blocked already) only edit (usually disruptively) two articles: Vladimir Putin and Warren National University‎. In the first article, one text all three want to add is "The methods used to suppress the opposition would be illegal in Western countries." Marktwain403 often used a version a week old to edit (thus destroying the work of manu other people, not necessarily opponents). The IP copy pasted a 100 note number without link into an edit to Putin, and the Arkansaschemist account inserted text about Samara at the end of a sourced paragraph, trying to use that source as a source for Samara and "illegal in the West" - though the Independent article does not mention Samara or illegality. I haven't studied the Warren University article so closely, but I have noticed that both Marktwain and Arkansaschemist want to add the word "diploma mill" to the article.

I have added 204.62.68.23 to the list. This looks like the same editor using a library computer. The last bunch of edits from this IP are again to these two articles and are putting text which looks familiar. (changed by Paul Pieniezny 13:42, 6 November 2007 (UTC) )

And one more: 12.45.122.2. (changed by --Paul Pieniezny 17:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC))
