User:AA2019AA (2 week block for disruptive edits, then went silent...new account?)

Characterized by edits that introduce misinformation and/or remove correct information, sneakily interspersed with helpful or at least seemingly helpful edits. This is a typical case: the text description seems to be a correct addition, but the numerical edits are nonsense, and the mean temperature data has been removed completely without explanation. Another example: adds a climate info box, but it contains info for an entirely different location (Alma, Colorado).

My theory is that this misinformation campaign is the user's idea of revenge for their first account being blocked. You can see from their response under that they almost instantly started this vandalism campaign after being blocked.

Most of these edits have been reverted, but it would be impossible for me to check them all. Is there some tool out there to check if a user's changes are still live? - Running On Brains (talk) 23:27, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
