Added User:JohnDorianyeah, created 15 Jun 2009. Similar naming convention to PeterGriffin11298, edits to minor actors (especially Disney shows), reverts to include uncited BLP information or using questionable sources (1 2 3 4), creation of minor Disney actors (1 2 3 4 5). tedder (talk) 14:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you don't mind that I added User:RIPMichaelJackson -- account was created recently (obvious from the name) immediately after User:PeterGriffin11298 was informed of this sockpuppet investigation and stopped editing. RIPMichaelJackson has been active doing the same edits PG did before, including fighting quite strenuously for Mark Hapka AFD (and spin off article The Danny McKay Project) with the same kind of highly aggressive tone and claims PG had been using.
