Traits

  • Main vandalism is to change the word "Christmas" to "Crime" on Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2, along with other vandalism on that page. Often done in two separate, consecutive edits. example 1 example 2
  • Changes "Christmas" to "Crime" on The Simpsons opening sequence‎, along with the band form Green Day to Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • Changes stats on ARIA Charts
  • Often changes words to 'banana' example 1 example 2 example 3 example 4 example 5
  • Some changes are obvious vandalism, others are more slick and may appear like corrections except they usually/always? aren't. example 1, example 2
  • Various other edits predominantly relating to Australia, the Simpsons, music or anime (too many possible candidates for semi-protection to be effective)
  • Usually warned, hasn't always been blocked but given that user keeps coming back with different IP every few days, blocking is not particularly effective anyway
  • All IPs appear to belong to Telstra Australia, specifically appear to be in their Perth/Western Australia ranges

Vandalism occurs between 0600 UTC - 1100 UTC

For clarification, a report was eventually filed by User:Ctjf83 back in February 2008. I apologise for not making sure this was updated. See User talk:Nil Einne/Archive 1#per your post on Talk:Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2 User talk:Ctjf83/Archive 1#per your post on Talk:Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2 for the discussion. I don't know what happened, but looking at one of the pages affected a low level of vandalism from the same ISP continued for several months so I'm guessing it didn't help Nil Einne (talk) 13:39, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
