Seeing as the user comes from AOL, I can't help
but agree.

understand it, it was originally a problem on the English Wikipedia,
complete with abusive sockpuppets and mass disruption; the problem has
apparently been snuffed out there.
A few days ago, a checkuser was done on the vandals on the wiktionaries; I'd
suggest a checkuser on the corresponding user on the English Wikipedia, and
if the results match up, a Jimbo-level ban. This is becoming a serious,
serious problem.

What, may I ask, did he claim was the meaning of

read your e-mail, I just couldn't stop laughing.
I've seen all sorts of weird vandals, as well as people trying to
plant false information, but the idea that somebody would invent a
word and claim it was real, especially something as ludicrous sounding
as "exicornt" (I don't believe any real English words end in -ornt,
and not many end in -rnt).

Hoi,
On the en:Wiktionary there is a bozo who thinks it funny to create
articles with titles like "exicornt switch". This is a non existing
word. The guy insists to create this article and uses any means to get
his way. I have been told that this guy is a user on the en.wikipedia as
well. As the frustration of this guy is getting to a level where AOL is
being blocked, I would like to know if we can cooperate and do something
about this vandal.
It is a daily annoyance. :(
Thanks,
GerardM
