Basic information[edit]
The UPN Vandal (talk · contribs · block log · arb · ssp · SPI confirmed suspected)
UPN Vandal Comprehensive edits analysis
The name "The UPN Vandal" is a descriptive nickname, as this vandal has used more IPs than he has used accounts.
Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]
In particular, the UPN Vandal targets articles about kids' shows and networks, as well as some movies, production companies, and actors:
- 2007 in television
- 2016 in film
- Ben 10
- B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations
- Boomerang (TV channel)
- Casper the Friendly Ghost
- Dark Castle Entertainment
- Disney's Animal Kingdom
- Disney Princess
- Drake & Josh
- DreamWorks Animation
- Enchanted (film)
- Godzilla
- Hasbro Studios
- Heyday Films
- Illumination Entertainment
- Jerry Trainor
- Kevin Lima
- The Lion King (2019 film)
- List of The Lion King characters
- List of programs broadcast by Boomerang
- List of programs broadcast by Discovery Family
- Man of Action Studios
- Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation
- Percy Jackson (film series)
- Popeye
- Puss in Boots (2011 film)
- Red Alert (Transformers)
- Regency Enterprises
- Shrek (franchise)
- Snorks
- Steve Carell
- Super Mario Bros. (film)
- The Titan's Curse
- Tonka
- UPN
- Walden Media
Habitual behavior[edit]
- Talk page edits often start with "Joshua Raymond Hahn", and often contain "YOU UNDERSTAND?" and/or "IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?"
- Article edits always contain unsourced (and highly unlikely) changes, often involving the return of cancelled shows for new seasons or reunion movies; other edits involve remakes of movies, film adaptations, and production staff announcements.
- Often targets articles involving the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, including false nominations, host predictions months before anyone has been offered the job to host the ceremony and new categories; often this vandal and Gabucho181 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) tread the same articles and patterns, so care should be taken to determine which vandal is actually doing so.

Basic information[edit]
Supreme Genghis Khan (talk · contribs · block log · arb · SPI suspected)
Comprehensive edits analysis
Supreme Genghis Khan is a vandal and troll who has abused a large number of sockpuppet accounts since 2016. By the time their userpage and those of his sockpuppets, tagged with sockpuppet templates, were deleted as a result of consensus at an MfD discussion in July 2016, he was confirmed to have abused over 190 sockpuppets. Supreme Genghis Khan's account was globally locked in April 2016 following cross-wiki abuse, and following consensus reached in a discussion at the administrators' noticeboard, Supreme Genghis Khan was banned indefinitely from English Wikipedia in May 2016.
Habitual behavior[edit]
Supreme Genghis Khan's disruptive behavior takes many forms, the most common of which include the addition of duplicated images to articles (example) and other users' userpages (example), and other image vandalism such as the replacement of images in BLPs with an image of Genghis Khan, Osama bin Laden, or North Korean leadership (Kim Jong-un and Kim Jong-il; example). Edit summaries can be obscene or defamatory (e.g. "F*** you, [user]!" and "[User] has AIDS!"; example) and may have to be hidden by administrators. This image vandalism can cause browsers to crash; some instances have added nearly 2,000,000 bytes to a page (example).
Other disruption patterns include replacing article content with giant text (e.g. "GENGHIS KHAN FAVOURITE...!"; example), full unwikifying of articles by adding <nowiki> tags (example), personal attacks (often gross; e.g. "[User] is a rapist/pedophile/sex offender") and harassment, abuse of warning templates (example), vandalistic and malicious page moves (example, example), impersonation of other users through usernames and signature forgery (example), creation of hoaxes and attack pages, blanking of AIV reports and obscene unblock requests.
Supreme Genghis Khan has a history of adopting usernames which impersonate or attack users who have blocked or reported him, making close typos, adding e.g. "Genghis Khan", direct attacks, or in some cases variations of the Khan moniker using accented characters to evade detection. Several editors (such as JamesBWatson) have been targeted in this way. Some of his usernames use French language words (example), as evidenced by a recent sockpuppet investigation.
Starting in 2023, this user has also engaged in racist vandalism, typically involving racial stereotypes related to fried chicken and watermelons. Also, there seems to be an ongoing pattern of Genghis Khan related vandalism to MongoDB.
Cases[edit]
Other notes[edit]
Tikeem cumberbatch uttp tcgp own (talk · contribs · block log · arb · SPI suspected), another long-term abuser active during the same time period as Supreme Genghis Khan, is suspected of being a meatpuppet of them. For example, while their contributions are quite different, some sockpuppets have claimed they are "friends", such as Supreme Genghis Khan and Tikeem cumberbatch uttp tcgp own and Supreme Genghis Khan is Tikeem cumberbatch uttp tcgp own's best friend. Note that according to Urban Dictionary, UTTP (also known as YouTube Troll Police) is a known Internet trolling organization.

- User:MehranRazi Mehrān/Mihran guy. Blocked after ANI [[2]] but presumably back as another IP. Will probably need an SPI
- User:Meters/Scarborough school cluster create SPI/ANI on Scarborough schools case since it is not going away. The current stable IP was last blocked on Feb 20 for one week, so keep an eye on this on Feb 27. Yup, immediate return and resumption. Undone but not reblocked this time. SPI this if (i.e., when) he shows up again. Yup, back on March 10. Blocked 3 months this time, so watch for a change in IP. Apr 27 Seem to have died. Probably because it looks like the school will be closed. Spoke too soon. Reappeared in June and July as the static IP. Blocked 6 months. Back again October 2016 as 2607:FEA8:A7A0:57C:ADBB:4C6A:B611:6E81
- User:Meters/Ananny_socks still active Oct 2016.

Cartoon categories vandal - Hendron, VA[edit]
Location: Hendron, Virginia.
Connection to previous: Compared New York IP edits to 2604:2000:A005:1F00:A436:4913:F485:8B73 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). User adds unrelated cartoon categories to pages and targets past favorites of the New York IPs (Jacob Two-Two, Will and Dewitt).
History: I recently found an IP address spamming Category:Cartoon Network original programs and other cartoon TV channel related categories. The currently active IPs are in the 2604:2000:A005:1F00* range ([5]) which geolocates to the Hendron, VA area. Originally posted over at EFN, but figured ANI might be the better venue.
- Range: 2604:2000:a005:1f00::/64
- Block history: 45 days by KrakatoaKatie; 3 months by Malcolmxl5; 6 months by NeDg
- Previous ANI threads: Archive 917 and Archive 925.

Lolijij and Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada IPs[edit]
Perseverates on things related to Ed the Sock, like creating the articles Ed's Big Wham Bam and Fromage 2004. Known to branch out into other cartoons (e.g., Plot (narrative), Ruby Gloom, Zoboomafoo, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Timon & Pumbaa (TV series), Tinga Tinga Tales, and Ripe Digital Entertainment). Likes to remove maintenance templates. The user doesn't typically employ edit summaries, but when he does, they're often incoherent. "10 girls for the letter B's complains 6 letters", "Fromage specials never get cut down by the Toronto Ice Storm it's premiere on PBS Kids.", "OK, let the old Fromage specials on PBS Kids". When adding prose, often the result is nonsensical, like here:
- "On the DVD Release: Barney & Friends DVD is MuchMusic Fromage 2004 With Bonus Features With Shows Is Barney & Friends. Beetlejuice (TV series) (Remastered). Sarah & Duck (Recreated). SpongeBob SquarePants (season 1). Other Fromage Specials Is Fromage 1988. Fromage 1989. Fromage 1990. Fromage 1991. Fromage 1992. Fromage 1993. Fromage 1994. Fromage 1995. Fromage 1996. Fromage 1997. Fromage 1998. Fromage 1999. Frpmage 2000. Fromage 2001. Fromage 2002. Fromage 2003. Fromage 2005 (Bleep on Coarse Language). Ultra Fromage 2006. Fromage 2013 (Bleep on Coarse Language) & Fromage 2014 (Bleep on Coarse Language), Zoboomafoo, Ni Hao, Kai-Lan (Recreated), Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Big & Small (Canadian Version), Rugrats, Ed's Nite In & The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Is Coming at December 10 2015 on DVD."

Instructions | Admins: Revert the edits and block the IP addresses or named accounts without waiting for any user warnings. Do not decline AIV report because it looks "stale". Non-admins: Revert the edits, no need to warn the vandal. Suspected named socks may be reported to sockpuppet investigations for confirmation. Ongoing disruptions should be reported to AIV with a link to this long-term abuse report to allow more efficient AIV processing by admins. All: When an IP address or named account has been blocked and confirmed, consider reporting them to meta at m:SRG for global blocks or locks, as this vandal abuses multiple projects. |
Status | Active |
Please report all ongoing incidents of abuse to AIV or ANI, and SRG. |
Basic information[edit]

Comprehensive edits analysis
Cross-wiki vandal that adds incorrect flags to articles of places (city/county/district/etc.), primarily editing with IP addresses from China Telecom Fujian. Also known as image flag vandal, or simply the flag vandal. An edit filter is also set up for this vandal.
Their IP addresses, if reported to AIV, should never be considered as stale, as they may resume editing with same or different IP's after stopping for a while. Admins should try to find appropriate rangeblocks as needed.
When reporting disruptions to AIV, please link this LTA page so admins will be able to process the reports more efficiently. Since this involves cross-wiki abuse, consider checking their edits in other projects and reporting disrupting IP's and accounts to meta at Steward requests/Global, so stewards can place global blocks for IP addresses/ranges and global locks for named accounts.
Targeted areas, pages, themes[edit]
Any article of a place, which may be a city, county, district or else. Primarily targets Chinese places, but also vandalizes non-Chinese places. Example pages:
- Xuanwu District, Beijing (diff)
- Chongwen District (diff)
- Kecheng District (diff)
- Lushi County (diff)
- Zhangye (diff)
- Xingyang (diff)
- Guangxi (diff)
- Baga, Borno (diff)
- Omaruru, Namibia (diff)
Habitual behavior[edit]
Inserts hoax flags into targeted pages, misleading readers to think a certain flag is used by the targeted city/county/district/etc. This can be the addition of a flag image completely irrelevant to the page -
- with text below stating "flag of <page name>" in an image box (e.g. [21], [22], usually when the page didn't have an infobox),
- or to the flag field of an infobox (e.g. [23], [24], [25], [26], [27]).
Since January 2018, the vandal has begun to upload fake flag images named after the targeted places to Commons, before adding those images to the articles, making it less obvious that vandalism is occurring.
An edit session may target multiple pages at a time, and may last for several hours even though there may be relatively long pauses between edits. For example, this IP's first edit and last edit were 12 hours apart ([28], [29]), and they had been active during this time frame, albeit with a 4-hour break ([30], [31]) as well as another 2-hour break ([32], [33]). As a result, AIV reports may look stale but in fact they are not.
Edits in English Wikipedia are mostly by IP's, although there are registered accounts too ([34]). Most frequently hoax additions are made to pages of Chinese places, although other places get vandalized as well – African places are another common target.
This vandal abuses with the same behavior on multiple Wikimedia projects, including but not limited to English, Japanese ([35]), Spanish ([36]), Russian Wikipedia ([37]) and many more, as well as Wikimedia Commons ([38]).
