As far as I can tell Harry Potter is using Wikipedia to engage in some form of absurdist conceptualist art by adding subtle inaccuracies in articles, turning then into nonsense, but doing it in such a way that it is hard to pick out the absurdist nonsense from what may be a genuine contribution. Whether this equates to pataphysics or not I have no idea. But it is essentially corrupting Wikipedia. In my opinion he is every bit as much of a vandal as Michael and should be treated similarly with blanket reversions.
I agree. It sows an atmosphere of distrust, which, going by the pataphysics manifesto, is the goal. It's a waste of my time to research things and add them to an article if the rest of the article is fiction masquerading as fact; no reader is going to believe any of it. [[Templars in England]] looks plausible for instance, but given Harry Potter's other activities, how am I supposed to know if any of it is true? Better to vaporize it and start over.
