And they sent me a reply I thought was kind of interesting.


 * For now, I have blocked the IP address from which these sockpuppet accounts have been editing. This user appears to always use the same IP, so hopefully this will stop them for a while.


 * Just some food for thought: This user's edits seem unhelpful, but they also don't look like regular vandalism. The edits are too random and similar to real edits. There is a possibility that this user isn't really a vandal, but someone with a cognitive disorder (such as autism), who thinks they're making earnest edits, but just isn't able to tell good from bad edits and who is having trouble communicating.


 * This doesn't mean you shouldn't block them - bad edits are bad edits - but perhaps keeping that in mind will help you keep cool should they return and bother your wiki again.

I don't know how much I agree with that because despite what the community staff person said some of that stuff was clearly vandalism, but since she keeps saying she "wants to be a good editor" maybe next time (if) she shows up explain exactly what a good editor is and see if she can handle it.
