Multiple improper edits to Of Mice & Men (band), in particular adding the same improper band members to the infobox (e.g., , , ). Mostly limited to that article but Qtbands has started to branch out to other articles (e.g., ). No idea which account is the master, I just picked the oldest. This one's pretty obvious, guys, they're even tagging their edits like they're some kind of gang of badass Wikipedia thugs. Ivanvector (talk) 19:13, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

The "squidgy" vandals are back, vandalizing Of Mice & Men (band) which has just come off protection from their earlier appearance: Ivanvector (talk) 16:44, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Note: upon further investigating, there have been a large number of protected edit requests in the talk page archives to add "Squidgy" to the list of band members. From the internet, Squidgy is a small plush octopus that one of the band members won in a claw game and uses as a sort of mascot for the band. No reliable source has ever been provided for this bit of trivia, and an octopus toy is certainly not a band member. Therefore, it is possible that these are all legitimate newbie edits. However, if the users are not technically related, they do seem to be at least coordinated. Ivanvector (talk) 20:10, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Following users are WP:Ducks:,  ,  ,. All added "Squidgy" to Of Mice & Men (band). I'm not sure about, so I'm endorsing the CU to compare him with the others. I'm also not sure about, he made only one edit, and he removed part of the vandalism added by.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:46, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
