This page is documentation on spotting non-obvious vandals. It is not glorification, but a subpage that maybe of use to you all.
Please use {{NOINDEX}} on any user pages to deny recognition of these users - if that works. NOINDEX is a great tool, so use it when you can.
These users however, are welcome to edit at one of the wikis where I am sysop, which re-uses content under the GFDL and takes WP:IAR literally (NOTE: This is not WP:CSD#G11)
User:Tile join[edit]
Uses multiple sockpuppets to edit Northwich Victoria F.C. Please refer to Tim Vickers (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) for more info on this user.
User:Grawp[edit]
Page-move vandal, using name of Hagrid from Harry Potter's brother. Uses obscene edit summaries that require Wikipedia:Oversight in some cases. Not much more to go on here, other than that user's IPs are globally blocked at Meta.
User:Beh-nam and User:NisarKand[edit]
Nationalist editors, who aggressively edit articles relating to Middle Eastern topics. They frequently file tit for tat checkuser cases against one another. Consult Alison (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) if you need fuller information.
Beh-nam frequently is known for meatpuppeting.
Note that Behnam (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is not the same user as the above Beh-nam.
User:Sunholm[edit]
This user is not a single user, but rather a user who has inspired copycats and meatpuppetry. Uses open proxies to edit where he can find them. Has caused autoblocks for some Virgin Media IPs. (Also used the attack account SunStar Net on some wikis, not affiliated with another individual who has the name Sunstar Net - with lower-case S on it.)
Modus operandi is to add hoax information to any articles, that looks seemingly valid, but is hoax. Makes some good edits, generally good hand-bad hand account (according to discussions on here).
He apparently has mental health issues, per diffs on here, and off-wiki knowledge that I was given. This user/users could be reformed if mentorship/probation/topic bans were given.
Note that he does not have same approach as MascotGuy. Assigning some vandals edits to him is unnecessary aggrandizement. Has also vandalised BJAODN wiki as Solumeiras, gained sysop access under false pretences, and recruited meatpuppets there.
Please be careful when using Sunholm/Solumeiras as an edit summary in blocking IPs (per WP:DENY, WP:RBI and WP:TROLL.)
