This appears to be a much clearer violation of Misplaced Pages vandalism policies than WP:SOCK. WP:SOCK states "A sock puppet is an alternative account used deceptively. In particular, using two usernames to vote more than once in a poll or to circumvent Misplaced Pages policies is forbidden." The evidence of sockpuppetry is merely circumstantial. The evidence of vandalism is clear and unmistakable.

Nationmaster and Invasivepants are the only users of the four listed who remain unblocked. All of their edits seem to be vandalism. It would be better evaluate their behavior on vandalism, which is clear cut, rather than try to deduct whether or not they are the same person. Due to the esoteric nature of the article vandalised, I suspect that the article was discussed in a school history class.
