Basic information[edit]

Two major themes associated with this LTA:

Hanja: Deletes hanjas from Infobox Korean name templates across countless South Korean actor articles. Edit summaries sometimes include "Deleted hanja. Only the Korean names" or "Delete hanja that never understood", indicating a mere WP:IDONTLIKEIT justification. Despite being warned to first seek consensus on Template talk:Infobox Korean name or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Korea, they ignores the warnings and persist in continuing their disruptive behavior on different IPs.

"Sexdoll": Possibly connected to the hanja LTA, given that some of their IPs have been found within the same range. User is known to persistently vandalize random pages including deleting large chunks of content and adding phrases such as "sex", "sexdoll" or random nonsense such as "jhfdfhj" and "tyrijhhffr" in the article and edit summaries.

Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]

Hanja: South Korean actors and actresses, around 30 years old and older

"Sexdoll": Random articles

Habitual behavior[edit]

  • They usually make two edits when they're trying to delete the hanjas, first deleting most of the infobox then copying and pasting it back, leaving out the hanjas.
  • The person also likes to persistently add the Lunar calendar birthday to Lee Byung-hun, even when told multiple times that Wikipedia only uses the Gregorian calendar for modern figures.
  • For "Sexdoll" LTA, that person likes to insert random messages as well as deleting huge amounts of content.
