A slew of editors vandalizing this BLP of a Star Wars actor (possible spoiler alert). I had originally listed a couple other accounts which I later realized are probably not connected, as their edits were either not vandalism, or different vandalism that doesn't match this pattern. I expect that at least some of these accounts are not related, as the IP vandalism covers a broad range, and supposedly this was an internet meme. However, the fact that several confirmed accounts jumped into it (marced AC) in rapid succession is of concern, as they may be sleepers controlled by a sockfarmer, so I'm requesting the CU check in case there are others that haven't popped up yet.

Diffs of edits by various listed accounts:
 * Master:
 * Besottedchimp:
 * Stormtrooper:
 * Toejamb:
 * Confused ninja turtle: (AC)
 * Kevin:
 * Tarvantius:
 * Simonrubins:
 * Timefortriforce: (AC)
 * Jeffkemp: (AC) (I had a boss named Jeff Kemp once)
 * Retroorbit: (AC)
 * Darknail: (AC)

Also: is actually the oldest account, but I had already picked as master the one which first vandalized the article. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 21:41, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
