This user has a fixation with adding flag icons to military history article info boxes. See work by the following accounts for comparison: ProudIrishAspie and the same article edited by Darth Jadus. Here's another comparator: ProudIrishAspie and American Starkiller. A look throughout the history of these three accounts will show a fixation on flag-addition - ProudIrishAspie, American Starkiller, and Darth Jadus. Finally, their user pages are all familiar. Showing the relevant versions: ProudIrishAspie, American Starkiller, and Darth Jadus. Note: ProudIrishAspie was banned for violating a topic ban here, and American Starkiller was banned for socking (resulting in an extended ban of ProudIrishAspie) here. I think the guy is in need of a good discussion, but though we've tried, we can't manage to get him to talk. I'm not trying to trample anyone because of their disability, but this guy is continuing to be disruptive.  Cdtew  (talk) 17:13, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Continued fixation on adding flag icons to military and historical articles, especially related to the American Civil War and Irish nationalism. Account was created three days after confirmed sock Darth Jadus was blocked. Typical of ProudIrishAspie's editing history, there are too many flag edits to count, so here are just a handful:.

There's some overlap in articles edited by YahooWill and ProudIrishAspie or his socks, and they share a similar flavor: (military flags),  (taking offense to Irish slur),  (updating American flag year in military article),  (Fort Hood),  (adding same category).
