[in miscellaneous]
In 2017, Buzzfeed Unsolved paranormal investigators visited Old Alton Bridge in Texas and claimed ownership of it over the mythical Goatman said to inhabit the bridge. This led to a number of fans attempting to change the Wikipedia article to reflect their self-purported ownership.[1]
Sorry if it is a bit trivial for the article, it just feels like quite a prominent example of vandalism that could be worth including. Mr Blumenthal (talk) 10:11, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
- Not done, it isn't a significant enough example to include. --Mvqr (talk) 11:35, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

On Svante Pääbo's Article edit
There was an incident not long after the announcement of the Nobel Prize winner where someone had edited a person's full personal info onto the beginning of his article. The edit has since been purged from the edit log. Perhaps this should be included in the "Miscellaneous" section. TheOneTEM (definitely a human) (talk) 23:08, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Add 2023 Titan Submarine Victim Vandalism.
Remove Willy from the examples edit
Their vandalism was 20 years ago, and they were just one vandal out of the hundreds of vandals listed on WP:LTA, they don't even have an LTA page anymore. For the sake of WP:DENY and avoiding trivializing the seriousness of vandalism the mention should be removed and the redirects to it deleted. In fact this whole page needs to be revised to stop giving WP:BEANS to vandals. 77.103.193.166 (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
