British Wikipedia vandal who constantly vandalizes articles relying on Now! That's What I Call Music, a large number of different musical artists, and some video game articles.
User tends to "identify" the edits they reverse as "good faith edits" despite often being constructive contributions to the article (examples: [1] [2]). The user occasionally pleads with other editors who repeatedly revert their nonconstructive edits, via edit summaries (examples: [3] [4]). The user often removes single covers from infoboxes and claims that the images are "up for deletion" (examples: [5] [6]). Almost all of the vandal's contributions are unsourced, and additionally run contrary to existing sources. The most common scenario is that the vandal will alter a song or album's genre to a different genre that is unsupported by provided sources, claiming them to be "unsourced" (example: [7]).
