This is not a Wikipedia article : It is an individual user's rough notes page, and may be incomplete and/or unreliable.
Very little vandalism around 0800 EST (1200 UTC), mainly increases around 0830-ish EST (1230 UTC). Likely indicates that the majority of vandals are students in school Most vandalism originates from IP accounts, equally distributed between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Vandals generally ignore warnings to stop, making the warn process a formality
Vandals rarely make personal attacks.
Rarely, vandals will claim to be trying to "show that WP is unreliable". Vandal Edit Summaries [ edit ] Most vandalism have edit summaries along the lines of "Added content" or "fixed it", emoji generally a good indicator of vandalism. Similarly, a gibberish edit summary usually indicates that the edit consists of keyboard-mashing, and not a constructive addition. Most vandal usernames will include current memes.
Common threads are the number "69", or, more rarely, "420".
Otherwise, no commonalities between vandal usernames.
Usernames that are extremely similar might be a sign of a sockpuppet Notes on Promotional content [ edit ] Most promotion occurs in sandbox pages
Common words indicating promotional material include: "providing...", "For over...", "Award-winning...", "leading...", and more. Accounts that engage in promotion generally are named for the thing they promote. Generally create a promotional article by copying it into their sandbox
When their page is nominated for CSD, will generally not appeal.
When appealing a CSD, generally try to justify the article as being "factual".
