Basic information
This editor is known for numerical changes and vandalism (ex. adding made up days of the week, replacing words with other words) to various articles. They use open proxies and various IPs in Florida, and are also known to use accounts.

They are aware of how to game autoconfirmed; when a target article of theirs is semi-protected, they will often game autoconfirmed on a new account using their user sandbox in an effort to vandalize it. This has resulted in some target articles being extended-confirmed protected, such as Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, Random.org, Taipei 101, and Pokémon Go.

Per SPI instructions, it is recommended that this user's socks not be tagged.

Targeted pages, areas, themes
It is somewhat hard to find out which articles that they might target until they target it with an obvious sock because of the wide range of topics that they target. However, common themes of targets include video games, puzzles (and puzzle video games), Bollywood films, science, medicine, transportation, the Barenaked Ladies, and Wikipedia humor and project pages. Pages that use numbers or days of the week are more likely to be targets.
