[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)[reply]

Not done, it isn't a significant enough example to include. --Mvqr (talk) 11:35, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On Svante Pääbo's Article

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)[reply]

Add 2023 Titan Submarine Victim Vandalism.

Not done: Unless I'm missing something I don't believe that the vandalism there was particularly notable or attracted any significant media attention. Vandalism is an extremely common event on Wikipedia - this isn't supposed to be an exhaustive list. Tollens (talk) 17:57, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
