I'm trying to see if I can find the person who did the edits, just out of curiosity. A DU reader, apparently. Like you, I find it interesting to see who's maliciously vandalizing wikipedia articles. The site has a very good bot that detects obvious vandalism, and it apparently caught this vandal and reverted the page several times.

It also notifies a senior editor when someone does that. The vandal has been blocked at this point, and probably won't return to that page, at least not with the same name.
