JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat
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 VV Cephei or VY Canis Majoris.
Star Sizes: The Beginning
JoeyPknowsalotaboutthat started editing 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. 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.
