Here's another diff that I spotted (fortunately this one got bot.ed pretty
quick) - I'm glad that the vandalism I reported earlier only stood for a
couple of hours in total (and only seconds after I reported it here - it was
a bit weird to be unsure of what I should do for the couple of hours I was
aware of it, and it was publicly visible.)

With almost 3 million Wikipedia articles, I suspect thousands are
vandalized each day. Many vandals are reverted by bots, many others by
editors. One banned editor is not going to make a significant impact
on this, and the fact that some vandalism is not immediately reverted
is not a good reason for letting banned editors edit.
