Basic information

This is a Japanese vandal who disrupts articles related to the bands New Order and 808 State. The vandal takes away references from the infobox genre parameter of 808 State and adds their own unsupported opinion that it's new wave.[1][2][3][4] The vandal adds unsupported genres to New Order such as "chill out", "ambient house" and "leftfield".[5][6] Smalljim blocked 61.24.10.19 twice in August, and he blocked 126.254.80.166 for one week at the same time. Diannaa blocked 153.143.255.67 for one week in November. Also in November more than a dozen talk page entries by this vandal were revdeled because of libel.

This vandal is also active on their native Japanese Wikipedia, also targeting New Order-related articles. [7] At least two IPs were blocked by MaximusM4 as a long-term vandal.[8][9]
