Basic information[edit]

This person puts false biographical data into biographies, such as adding cause of death information to infoboxes without regard to whether the cause of death was a defining characteristic. Editing primarily from Keighley or Leeds but occasionally elsewhere in the UK, they make many other false changes to biographical data such as birth date, birth name, place of residence, as well as adding pre- and post-nominals such as Jr/Sr, OBE/CBE, etc. They are especially attracted to the biographies of super-centenarians and people who have recently died. The Leonard Nimoy biography is a particular target. Their first known edit was changing the year of death to be wrong.

On 30 June 2015, this person began using IP addresses in Greece. A discussion was raised at ANI. They returned to the UK after two weeks.
