Wow, that is a lot of errors. Best thing is to wait and either improve on his edits or delete it. The mods will come down shortly.

I did take a look at his history and it seems he has been in the site for at least 1 year. Yet all his edits have the same issues of capitalization and formatting. He should have been suspended already but somehow he isn't.

Contributors who make these mistakes frequently and haven't been notified or suspended for that is usually because they flew under the radar with nobody reporting them for these infractions yet.

To be clear though, notifiers have to be sent out before the mods will be willing to act.

Bean 720 didn't get any notifiers outside of a "not a trope" notifier prior to this query. I sent them formatting and grammar notifiers for two of the edits listed in the OP.

Bumping this query to add that they made a page for Pbs Great Museums, which is very barebones, contains a lot of grammar errors, and has a Synopsis page, which is a namespace that was deprecated years ago.

And also Fridge.The Kids Of Degrassi Street and NightmareFuel.The Kids Of Degrassi Street

Are they even salvageable? And is the NF sub-page even valid?

didn’t seem like anyone else did, so i cutlisted the museums page.

^^ Those two pages do not look salvageable at all; I would cut them and send grammar notifiers.

bumping this again, they've continued to make more wikiside edits with poor capitalization as recently as this month:

it may not be my place to say this as a regular troper but. This aint a good look

ETA: fwiw Bean also sent me a rambly PM about being suspended, but i just redirected them to the EB thread.

Weirdly, Bean 780 sent me an odd, rambly PM asking me to make a page for them, despite not posting at all in the EB or GHWE threads, and their PM contains the same level of poor grammar that got them suspended in the first place. What to do?

A suspended user asking you to make a page for them?

That's meatpuppetry, right?

I would suggest telling them to go to the EB thread and appealing.
