There have also been suggestions of communicating with the vandal's ISP. Should that just take place, instead of us trying to figure out how to preempt the vandal?
If it's one single consistent vandal, by all means call the ISP.
Someone associated with OFFICE should do so, so that it's taken seriously, and not blown off as a random WP person making the call...
Given that that particular vandal was originating from a totalitarian police state[1], I'd say that reporting them to their ISP would be a Really Good Disincentive against future vandalism.
