Evidence

They are SPAs with a history of reverting and engaging in edit wars by calling other editors "Korean vandals" or accusing other users of censorship. миражinred (speak, my child...) 18:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

All of them have edited Japan or Korea-related articles. They have edited So Far from the Bamboo Grove with...

Same edit and very similar edit summary [1] [2]

The same edits by different IPs and accounts [3] [4] [5] [6]

Oy. Another monster RFCU: Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Amazonfire. Jehochman ^Talk 04:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Recommend waiting until RFCU clears this one up (wow). On a side note, reversion of a previous edit does not necessarily mean the edits are "similar", it means they are identical. Summaries are similar, but so are many other peoples. Noting a trend here, it is not wrong for people to edit from an IP address or even have multiple accounts, as long as they are not doing so for malicious purposes or to get around rules. — BQZip01 — ^talk 06:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Conclusions

RFCU results were inconclusive. I agree here. This is possible but not enough to block. Resubmit if more proof becomes available. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
