User:Lothar von Richthofen/Notes/Old

Behaviour

 * Primarily uses unnecessary capitalisations in the middle of sentences (e.g. "the history of sport" ––> "the history of Sport") in mass quantities.
 * Changes number names to numerals (e.g. "two times" ––> "2 times").
 * Will also abbreviate ordinal numbers (e.g. "second time" ––> "2nd time") unnecessarily.
 * Less frequently, this user is also known to remove cleanup tags and legitimate references.
 * Primarily engaged in the editing of articles relating to national sports and culture (often of third world countries), where few page-watchers mean that disruptions go unnoticed.
 * Ignores repeated warnings and requests to change behaviour.
 * Not responsive to blocks; continues disruption once block expires.
 * Uses IP addresses traceable to Calgary, Alberta.

Behaviour

 * Generally harmless tinkering, but some exceptions:
 * Repeated removal of maintenance tags without addressing problem
 * Misleading edit summaries
 * Primarily edits articles related to Communist leaders
 * Uses numerous Florida-based IPs; warnings and blocks may be ineffective in curbing any abuse
