They actually made a deal with the Daily Dot
This had been mentioned before, but now it's appearing on the Dot's front page. And OF COURSE they used sock accounts on WP to take a few pokes at the subject. https://www.dailydot.com/irl/tenebrae-wikipedia-peppermint/ Yes, I will concur, Frank "Tenebrae" Lovece is a gigantic asshole.

I found the user accounts "Binksternet", "Mark in wiki", "Materialscientist", "Richard3120", ''Kellymoat", ''Jusdafax'', ''RoCo'' and ''Jim1138'' so far. Will continue to update once I find more.
