Targeted areas, pages, themes

• Talk:Yahweh
• Talk:God
• As above, so below
• Tower of Babel
• Classical planets
• Sacred geometry
• Seven seals
• Chaos theory
• Cosmology and quantum gravity topics
• Pages related to Ancient Egypt

Habitual behavior

User spams talk pages, and sometimes articles, with pseudoscience and links to his forum. Signs using the names of random famous people who he claims he is the reincarnation of. Pages related to the Bible are a perennial target. Once known for vandalizing pages related to Ancient Egypt, adding content about gematria to Sacred geometry, and turning As above, so below from a redirect to a spam page (before it was turned into a legitimate article in 2018), more recent vandalism instead tends to focus on physics articles.
