Basic information
The Pinkalicious vandal is a vandal from
Clifton Park, New York that also uses various IPs located in New York and Massachusetts. Their main modus operandi is adding false and unsubstantiated information to Pinkalicious & Peterrific, and occasionally also Donkey Hodie (TV series). Most of their edits that are not on Pinkalicious & Peterrific relate to it in some way or another, such as connecting an unrelated show to Pinkalicious (like the edits they make to the Donkey Hodie page). They also tend to
change around dates. "Pinkalicious vandal" is a descriptive name, as this vandal prefers IP editing over using accounts. They have been vandalizing since at least 2017, starting with unsourced date changes.
Moves the positionsof actress Raleigh Shuck and the character she plays in this show, Lila, in the cast and characters part of the article. Characters in this article are sorted by their importance to the story, and the cast is sorted in a similar way. Shuck and her character should normally be classified as a side character, however, this editor moves them to "main characters".
This user is also connected to both this article and the one for Donkey Hodie, because the main vandalism that this user adds is the claim that Donkey Hodie is based on the Pinkalicious book series, when it is actually based on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Changed the airdates to false airdates; moved the season 5 start date from February 13, 2023 to April 17, 2023, and moved episode 304's airdate from October 11 to April 8 when it didn't air at the time.
Removes the theme song, language, and, sometimes, the "based on" section in the article's infobox. (They are more likely to
replace "Based on the characters of the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe by
Fred Rogers" with "Based on [the] Pinkalicious book series by Victoria and Elizabeth Kann", instead of removing the section.)
Replaces
9 Story Media Group with 2 companies who were not involved in creating the TV show; particularly the studios
Sixteen South (studio that works on Pinkalicious & Peterrific) and
Curious Pictures (a defunct studio).
Replaces cast member Haley Jenkins (the actress who plays the character Donkey Hodie in the show) with Raleigh Shuck (an actress who plays a minor character, Lila, in Pinkalicious & Peterrific).
Replaces a producer and developer named Ellen Doherty with Victoria Kann (one of the authors of the original Pinkalicious book series).
Replaces Pinkalicious & Peterrific in the "Adaptations" section with Donkey Hodie. They also
replace mentions of the Pinkalicious show in the article with Donkey Hodie.
The vandal ignores all talk page requests, does not communicate, and continues until they are blocked. Once unblocked, they tend to vandalize again on the same IP range, or on another IP range once blocked.
It is possible that their main range, 2603:7080:8c06:4e6c::/64 (block range · block log (
global) ·
WHOIS (partial)), along with some of their other IPs, may be a shared IP range used by multiple users due to the variety of different subjects edited on the range besides the vandalizing edits, such as high school pages and other TV, movie, and music-related pages.
