Basic information[edit]

This guy has been going around since at least Feb 2014, targeting primarily Holocene-aged extinct species.

Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]

All pages are about extinct species – some favorite targets include...

Habitual behaviour[edit]

Preferred edits involve making unsourced changes to the taxobox, i.e., modifying the fossil range, or giving (IUCN) conservation status when not appropriate. As soon as they are reverted, they make the same edit again and again with new IPs. Sometimes makes constructive edits, but, more often either adds unsourced or original research changes, or outright vandalisms (usually about nonsense concerning "sabertooths slapping dire wolves")

Cases[edit]

Other notes[edit]

Pending Changes does not deter them, they will still edit lots of pages in the hope that one will get approved.
