Evidence

• All are SPA or near-SPA accounts for Jordin Sparks (and associated albums, singles, etc.).

• All have changed various sales figures contrary to the cited sources for those figures, despite repeated warnings. The following diffs show the same source used to indicate a long string of increasing sales figures. All three accounts were repeatedly warned for unsourced contribs along the way.

Trialing:[1][2]

121.1.53.56:[3][4][5][6]

Moneyman202:[7][8]

(After Jordin Sparks (album) was semi-protected on 4/10/2008, Moneyman202 briefly picked up 121.1.53.56's edits. Trialing was registered 4/13/2008 and took over the edits on that article on 4/17/2008. On 4/22/2008, I notified Trialing that I had taken their edits to AIV. Moneyman202 then picked up the edits, continuing after Trialing was blocked.)

• No edit summary use bany any of them.
• No responses to TALK requests.
• All frequently use and/or add "+" to sales figures.

Conclusions

Pretty confident to conclude that those 3 are sockpuppeting. Trialing and the IP are blocked for 6 months while Moneyman202 is blocked indef. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 05:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
