I fully agree with that. Xxzme is not the first wiki user who has tried to push through unpopular edits or who has engaged in edit wars, but they are doing so at an unprecedented scale. For a long time, I have tried to encourage them to improve their behaviour, to give reasons for their changes, to respond to criticism, to take care not to break links and to seek feedback before engaging in huge edits across the wiki, but it simply doesn't work. Following their own vision of "cleaning up" the wiki seems to trump everything else. Considering the countless hours spent on dealing with them, and the loss of valuable wiki contributors, their presence on the wiki is a net negative. Unfortunately, the warning shot (i.e. the 1 month ban) didn't really improve the situation, except giving everyone else a much-needed breather.
