This set of new users appear to be heavily focused on Seton o'connor and getting his name into the I Hate You, Dad article. There are a series of edits that appear to be vandalism edits, and then the final, by what appears to be the puppeteer reverses the vandalism, in what appears to be an attempt to make it look like a positive edit, instead of just slipping in the change as evidenced by this diff:. It appears that by the number of anon IP edits in the very quick editing history over the last day or two that there may be multiple IPs being used. This primary account being reported also created a new article for the same actor. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:15, 4 August 2011 (UTC) The user in question also tried to place a protection onto the Seton o'connor article here. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:17, 4 August 2011 (UTC) The user in question also offered this gem, which suggests a vandalism orientation. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC) Additional data that this is some sort of concerted prank/effort is here  in the postings from 8/3 around 6-7pm west coast time.

Patrick O'Connor, along with Paul Pabst, Todd Frittz, and Andrew Perloff all appear in this movie in a scene with Dan Patrick where they are playing the roles of a tv crew. Outside of the movie they all work on the radio/television show The Dan Patrick show, and were given roles in the movie as a favor from friend of the show/long time listener Adam Sandler. This is not a sockpuppetry situation, this is just people editing the page for accuracy.
