All three are vandalism-only accounts (the IP is only recently vandalism-only, but has some prior history). They edit the same articles within minutes of each other, inserting the same kind of nonsense. Examples of 81.153.53.243 and Nationalpb editing the same article:
 * Evidence
 * Roxbury conglomerate
 * Jaime Moore
 * Marie Colinet
 * KXCI
 * Improvisations (Stéphane Grappelli album)

Examples of Ctx15 and Nationalpb editing the same article:
 * Shigeri Akabane
 * Ludlow, California
 * Sandip Verma, Baroness Verma
 * Billy Woods
 * Lost Property (book)

How dare you accuse me of sock puppetry, the ip address 81.153.53.243 and the username CTX15 aren't mine - i have no control over them as 'sock puppetry would imply, so i think you'd better come up with another daft idea like 'sock puppetry' which actually applies to me.

Ctx15 looks like an obvious sock puppet of Ctx1 (as are Ctx's 12,13,14). The IP address 81.153.53.243 appears to be connected with the Ctx's, and there appears to be a connection with the IP 81.76.76.248 who has edited many of the same pages, although that IP has no contributions listed since being blocked for 1 week on 19 January. The account Bnationalp appears to be connected to Nationalpb, and with the 81.153.53.243 IP. Another IP to look at: 84.67.16.178. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 01:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The IP 81.153.53.243 may have previously been 81.153.50.244, and before that 81.153.53.161, whose contributions still need to be checked. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 02:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I recently undid an edit by Ctx13 on ICM (polling), and the text I deleted has been put back in by 84.67.16.178, an IP I mentioned above. --Snigbrook ( talk ) 00:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Added several socks per Snigbrook. Although 84.67.16.178 resolves to a different ISP, the address has still edited several disconnected articles back-to-back with the other socks: diff, diff, diff. See also Suspected_sock_puppets/Ctx6  &mdash;To rc.  ( Ta lk. ) 02:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

137.159.11.132 looks to be another one, either sock or meatpuppet. It's a vandalism-only account, and made the same kind of subtle vandal edits back-to-back with 81.153.53.161 on unrelated topics: diff, diff. They also both used the phrase "bog standard" - 1, 2. (Ctx11 is already blocked as a sock of Ctx1.) --Snigbrook ( talk ) 03:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The phrase was also used by Ctx11 who awarded a "bog standard working mans barnstar" to 81.76.76.248, who was blocked at the time (and has not edited since). --Snigbrook ( talk ) 03:54, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: 81.153.53.243 - the IP was blocked at the same time I blocked Bnationalp a few days back, as IP and user demonstrated identical patterns. That block has since expired; should we extend it? --Ckatz chat spy  20:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Ctx16 doesn't seem to exist. Blocked all Ctx accounts, Nationalpb, and Bnationalp. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 16:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
