Notes: All of these pages appear to be created by either one author using several usernames, or by a group of users.

In general, this appears to have been some kind of class project to create wikipedia pages regarding misconceptions to be addressed in science education. Specifically, each page was created by a unique user name who appeared to sign on specifically to create a "misconception" page, then edited that page, plus possibly one or more of the other misconception pages.
Alternately, f there's only one author editing from multiple IPs, it appears to be Gary DeSimone. (See [1]).
