Thank you!
Pinball cleanup thread
Back in 2021, a troper named donmcdonough was reported on ATT for editing Match Sequence to add examples from non-existent pinball machines, which ended with him being banned. Their edit history also shows that many of their edits were on Tear Jerker subpages for cartoons. Among others, they made several edits to TearJerker.Sanjay And Craig and also adjusted the wording on one particular entry on TearJerker.Hey Arnold The Jungle Movie (going from "they all start crying" to "they all bitch-cry because of death").
Just today, I noticed that theamazingdonovan207 not only has a similar username and started editing following donmcdonough's ban, but also frequents many of the same pages. Checking their edit history, they tend to focus on Tear Jerker pages for cartoons (including editing TearJerker.Sanjay And Craig three times last December) and adjusted the same example on TearJerker.Hey Arnold The Jungle Movie as before (this time altering "they all start crying" to "they all start crying horribly and realistically"). Most recently, they've edited Match Sequence several times, including adding examples from pinball games that don't exist. (While some of their previous edits adding legitimate examples from real pinball tables, I can safely say that the Recess & Eddsworld entries are completely made up.)
