Habitual behavior
- Talk page edits often start with "Joshua Raymond Hahn", and often contain "YOU UNDERSTAND?" and/or "IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?"
- Article edits always contain unsourced (and highly unlikely) changes, often involving the return of cancelled shows for new seasons or reunion movies; other edits involve remakes of movies, film adaptations, and production staff announcements.
- Often targets articles involving the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, including false nominations, host predictions months before anyone has been offered the job to host the ceremony and new categories; often this vandal and Gabucho181 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) tread the same articles and patterns, so care should be taken to determine which vandal is actually doing so.
