Basic information[edit]

Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]

Articles related to the television show Friends, especially character articles, such as Rachel Green.

Habitual behavior[edit]

The vandal tends to change the relationship status of the characters as of the end of the series. In particular, the vandal pairs Rachel Green and Chandler Bing, removing any mention of Chandler's marriage to Monica Geller. As well, Ross Geller and Emily Waltham are paired. This is reflected in oddly-worded edit summaries referring to "Rachel Bing" or "Emily Geller". The specific wording of the edit summaries is a major tell.

In November of 2021, the exact same vandalism shifted to an IP that geolocates to Fort Worth, Texas.
