Although it's not vandalism, something else that permeated Wikipedia is the use of the Cyrillic ya (Я) in places of R, where the stylized artwork for the article subject reverses the R (and varies it in many other ways, for sure).
The difference between the two is that this phenomenon is not wholly in the past.
One of the biggest thorns of the situation is when editors bring up an official or semi-offical website related to the subject and using Я, pointing to its existence as "proof". No, that isn't proof; whoever is managing that area of the web properties is just a jackass.

And hey! It looks like discussion that I wasn't even aware of spawned on the Toys R Us talk page about it.
