This appears to be some middle schooler on their mobile phone who has been vandalizing Wikipedia for over a year whenever they get bored. In checking the edit histories of the pages they like to hit, I have not found any associated accounts; they come from one IP4 IP, 104.51.25.107, and one IP6 subnet, 2602:306:8331:96B0:/64. In IP6, all LANs are assigned a /64 (Ref); this vandal typically use a single IP6 address for only a few edits, and blocking only one or two addresses out of their /64 doesn't do any good.

I tried reporting them at WP:AIV and was told it was not an obvious enough case and needed to be taken to WP:SPI.

Most of their edit history consists of vandalism. Patterns: Mostly tagged with "Mobile edit, Mobile web edit". Add misinformation hoping it will be subtle enough to stick. 1 2 Keep coming back to re-add it when reverted. 3 4 5 6 7 8 Change the country a software studio is located in 9 10 11 12 or a game was developed and/or released in. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23  Sometimes add unencyclopedic formatting. 24 25 Add references to fictitious movies based on their favorite video games 26 27 28 29, with Bill Hader 30 31, Liam Neeson 32 33 or others as voice actor. (The diffs included are examples, not an exhaustive list.) Some recurring targets: The Buzz! Junior video game franchise, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures, The Angry Birds movie (Bill Hader was actually in this), Lego Star Wars & Lego Batman, Pikmin, Mappy. Pretending that North Aurora, Illinois is a city, not a village.

Kept on vandalizing from IP6 when blocked for a week on their IP4 address. Never responded to multiple warnings on their IP4 talk page. I suggest that you block 104.51.25.107 and 2602:306:8331:96B0:/64 all together for a good long time.
