Basic information

edit

This person puts false material into music articles, targeting mostly artists who were first active in the 1960s through the 1970s. Using an IP from Buena Park, California, most of the first year's worth of contributions about the Beatles and the Bee Gees appeared to be made in good faith, but in mid-March 2014 blatant falsehoods began showing up.[1][2] A long-running theme and the most recent spate of vandalism involved hoaxes about Kenny Loggins; hence the name of this case page. Once the original IP was blocked for a year, the person started using public IPs from nearby Garden Grove, Cerritos, etc.
