Starlight2012 was blocked following concerns about strange edits/edit warring related to conspiracy theories, most notably about Angelina Jolie For background see Administrators' noticeboard/Archive237.

The IPs (all of which resolve to Siena or nearby Florence) and Parker2012 (created after Starofnight2012 was blocked) have also been posting conspiracy type theories about Jolie as well as Scarlett Johansson, and a song by Pixie Lott,. In various combinations, they edit war to restore the removal of each other's edits. Examples:
 * Talk:Angelina Jolie: Starofnight2012 adds bizarre conspiracy theory about her and her relatives being members of the Illuminati. re-added by 95.224.3.57, re-added by 2.35.184.80
 * Astronaut: 93.65.157.219 begins bizarre list of people s/he thinks have travelled in outer space, re-added and expanded by 2.35.184.80 to include (among others) Jolie's ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton, re-added again (twice) by Parker2012
 * The first "outerspace traveller" in the list is Anthony James Rooney (??). Note Starlight2012's attempts to create Anthony James Rumour and Anthony James R

WP:DUCK - only three edits so far but they all involve adding the same nonsense to Astronaut that previous socks added. bonadea contributions talk 11:28, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 * The IP is an obvious sock, so I have blocked for a fortnight. AGK  [•] 23:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

WP:DUCK - four edits, all of which are identical to Starofnight2012's nonsense (restoring vandalism to Talk:Scarlett Johansson, and then posting personal attacks to User talk:Bonadea) bonadea contributions talk 22:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
