The en: Wikipedia is currently being pestered by a persistent page-move vandal that has used many names, including (today) [[User:Socksucker]], [[User:Wikipedia is Fun]], and [[User:A freaking sick vandal!]]. Judging by the user's MO, they are likely the same person as Willy on Wheels and the "penguin shit" vandal.
They are persistent and devious, and clearly very familiar with the Wikipedia software. They perform their vandalism in rapid bursts by using a tabbed browser, so that they can quickly dumped a batch of fresh vandalism before they can be blocked and their "work" unpicked; and they are working hard at making that as difficult as possible for admins to do. Once they are blocked, they simply create a new account, and repeat the process, which implies some level of IP agility.
Their goal appears to be to cause as much inconvenience as possible, and consume as much admin time as possible.
I think it might be time for some bureaucrats/developers to use their privileged access try to identify the origin of these attacks, to see if this problem can be resolved by technical or other means.
What does the community think?
