Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/HENRY APPLEGATE

Basic information
Comprehensive edits analysis Henry Applegate, stylized as HENRY APPLEGATE, is a cross-wiki vandal known for spawning various sockpuppet accounts, and writing nonsensical, inexplicable or patently false and/or esoteric userspace pages, alluding to notable Filipino figures such as Chavit Singson and local terrorist or insurgent groups.

Habitual behavior
Applegate typically writes attack or nonsense userspace pages in all caps. Usernames for his sockpuppets follow a recurring naming pattern that allude to either organized crime groups or insurgent factions, usually juxtaposing a known Filipino celebrity, e.g. CHAVIT SINGSON TRIAD, WARAY WARAY TRIAD or SINGSON ISLAMIC JIHAD GROUP. The usernames also occasionally feature "Aquino" or "Rebadula". Many (but not all) of the usernames are in all caps.

The general idea in each page is that he is involved in some sort of anti-terrorist operation that is, for some reason, run by NASA (often referencing specific notable astronauts); somehow, this intersects with a desire to marry Taylor Swift and become king and queen of the United States. As might be expected by the general incoherence of his writings, he never communicates with fellow editors. So far, all of his pages have been completely unrelated to Wikimedia, but are easily detected by their themes, as well as their liberal use of caps and boldface. He's very easy to recognize; the important thing is a speedy response, being sure to check for cross-wiki issues.
