Sam Blacketer
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
David Boothroyd, known on Wikipedia as "Sam Blacketer" and "Essjay II", is Wikipedia's second Essjay. Not content as a Labour Party councilor for London's City of Westminster's Westbourne ward, he used multiple sock puppets to get himself elected to the Wikipedia Supreme Court. It is widely suspected that he did it for the lulz because now eighteen months worth of Wiki Supreme Court cases have to be reviewed for fraud.
Good ol' Sammy's favorite article was that of Conservative Party leader David Cameron, which he tried to make more neutral to reflect the fact that conservatives are evil.
David Boothroyd also had his own article recently purged from Wikipedia for some lame-ass "BLP" reason, even though it was there for over four years.
In addition to being a Wikipedo and Labour Party councilor, Boothroyd is the head of research at Indigo Public Affairs, "a company specializing in urban regeneration schemes and lobbying for planning consent." He's also the author of the book Politico's Guide to the History of British Political Parties, published in 2001.

The Wikipedia Whitewash
Despite having an article on David Boothroyd since 2005, Wikipedia suddenly saw fit to nuke the article within 24 hours of Sam Blacketer's duplicity coming to light, and salted the article to prevent recreation:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&page=David_Boothroyd
- wikipedia:Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/David_Boothroyd_(2nd_nomination)
- wikipedia:Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/David_Boothroyd_(3rd_nomination)
- wikipedia:Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sam_Blacketer_controversy
- wikipedia:Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive545#Jehochman_and_David_Boothroyd_censorship
- wikipedia:Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:ChildofMidnight/David_Boothroyd
Why? Because not only is the cabal embarrassed, they ACTUALLY PLAN TO REINSTATE HIM AS AN ADMIN. For your viewing pleasure, here is the "final" version of the Wikipedia article.
