Some of these are hilarious. Favourite so far is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Chip... > The Chipmunks vandal, also known as the Alvin vandal, adds trivial detail about the Chipmunks fictional musical group's cover versions to song articles, for instance adding a Chipmunks cover version to the Rolling Stones' song "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".

My favourite is the name: "Hong Kong Geography Warrior" ... that should be an album name :)

> Prolific sockpuppeter with over 500 socks which inserts hoaxes about lions existing in Montana. I am in awe. Edit: it seems there actually are lions in Montana: https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/mountain-lions-montana So why the hoaxes?

Not sure if English is your native language, but in the US at least, a mountain lion (a.k.a puma and cougar) is never referred to as just a “lion”. A “lion” is the thing in the zoo with a big mane that sprays pee on people and appears in broadway plays and documentaries narrated by David Attenborough

And now I want to see a broadway play narrated by David Attenborough.

The "ceiling fan vandal" has always been one of my favourites, although it seems he has stopped now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse/Davi...

  Habitual behavior
    - He inserts random images of ceiling fans into any articles.
    - He links to YouTube videos of ceiling fans.
    - He engages in random thanking to certain users.

  Other notes
    Based on his edits, he seems to have an interest in ceiling fans.
