Oftentimes, it isn't a trivial task to distinguish good faith from vandalism edits.
Based on content of the edit alone, it might be frankly impossible.
+This is also signaled for example on the STiki page ("Uncertainty over malice: It can be tricky to differentiate between vandalism and good-faith edits that are nonetheless unconstructive.")~\cite{Wikipedia:STiki}
Following the guideline, a patrolling editor (or whoever reads) should asume good faith first and seek a converstation with the disrupting editor. (TODO: where is this suggested?)
Only if the disrupting editor proves to be uncooperating, ignores warnings and continues disruptive behaviour, their edits are to be labelled "vandalism".
