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

In particular, the UPN Vandal targets articles about kids' shows and networks, as well as some movies, production companies, and actors:

Habitual behavior

  • 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.

Cases
