JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat (also known as Ilikechristians and Danny) is a kid (and his friends) who has been vandalizing astronomy-related articles on TOW for more than a year, resulting in numerous sock-puppet investigations. He has gotten his Long-term abuse page deleted three times. He claims to be a smart teenager from Russia, which is likely because he has utilized public WiFi networks with his friends across southern Russia to aid him in his goal of "making Wikipedia verifiable again". It is suspected that he originally edited through the Simulation12 account. However, they were really two different people who both just so happened to love a certain educational cartoon, Martha Speaks. Simulation12 never edited an astronomy article though, especially Antares, VV Cephei or VY Canis Majoris.
Star Sizes: The Beginning
JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat started editing English Wikipedia in June 2017. He was editing pages about stars, from the Sun to VY Canis Majoris and making the articles verifiable again. His "corrections" soon caught the attention of several Wikipedos who immediately began whining about them on the sysops' noticeboars. In response, he would try to make Antares be more than 1 billion km in diameter. He would also preform page move vandalism. He claimed that what he was doing was really verifiable and that he was alive then, so he knew how big the stars were at the time. He started a war with another editor who just couldn't chill about the size of, well... ANTARES.
That all added up to his indefinite block in October 2017.
Sock Puppets
After getting blocked, Joey resorted to having two of his friends create accounts for him. He asked his friend, a devout Christian girl named "Ilikechristians", to create an account. She started editing guess what? STAR SIZES. on the English Wikipedia before getting banned in January 2018. Joey's friend, however, knew that one sock puppet wasn't enough. She needed someone else. That's when Danny Boy from another continent came in. He started creating dozens of socks on the Italian Wikipedia, doing that same old edits about star sizes.
Range Blocks
After only seven months of attempting to turn him around, Wikipedia realized that he did not plan on stopping his conquest of TOW. This resulted in Wikipedia admin contacting his ISP. Six range blocks were put in place to prevent him from editing from home and all other places he had access to the interwebs. This still proved to be useless, as Ilikechristians and Danny still had access to unblocked IP ranges.
The return of JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat: Martha Speaks
In September 2018, JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat returned as Joey717. Joey717 didn't persuade others to do his own dirty work - he did it as well. But he didn't just edit star sizes. He also started editing pages relating to a TV show for kids - Martha Speaks. He reverted all the other edits of other users and recreated the pages originally made by Simulation12 (Some people now think JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat is Simulation12, but they are actually two different people). The pages originally made by Simulation12 were recreated by Joey717: Helen Lorraine, Mariella Lorraine, Alice Boxwood, and Daniel Lorraine. Unfortunately, just after four days, Joey717 was blocked.
Simulation12
Simulation12 is a claimed girl in kindergarten who already knows how to end up in the Long-term abuse hall of fame. She is a fan of almost every PBS Kids show, especially Arthur and Martha Speaks, which JoeyPknowsalotabouthat also loves. However, she has never edited an astronomy article. She has created thousands of sock puppets in the English Wikipedia.
