The socks are interested in the BLP Harvey Whittemore. In his first edit to the BLP, Elmo2012 expresses "personal knowledge" of the man's birth year, though the source says otherwise. Following this, Elmo2012 removed 9k of cited controversy, white-washing the article. Reverted, he returned with 12k of removals white-washing the article even further. Reverted yet again he removed 13k of cited controversy. This is where Crazyheart43 jumps in, making the same change to birth year as Elmo2012. Frustrated with being reverted, Crazyheart43 greatly reduces the article three times, removing 24k of cited information. Now StageScript makes one edit, a 23k removal much like Crazyheart43. Following this it just gets nutty, with HelpYouToBe and GoodANDlarge adding nonsense text copied from Paris and Prague articles respectively two and four minutes after StageScript's removal. FYI, this article has also been under the attention of User:Quayhands, blocked for using multiple accounts, and User:Youtubek, an inveterate socker who also edited the BLP under User:Newyork1990 and User:Wwef2010. See Sockpuppet investigations/Youtubek/Archive. If any connection is observed between Elmo2012 and the Youtubek accounts then this SPI should be archived along with other Youtubek investigations.
