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]).
