He keeps on doing rollbacks on edits and provide unproven incorrect information. The only thing he does aside from from ruining the already created pages, is spamming the wiki with new pages that have no info on them aside from a template.

Waiting a week will allow this guy to continue creating problems on the wiki.

It needs to be handled now.

Making an announcement is no good either as that will just have that guy also try and adopt the wiki. He is more active than me but his edits as I mentioned are bad. If I could become an admin and lock the pages to stop his constant rollbacks that would help a lot.

Where do I report him for vandalism by the way? It has gone so far now that he is rolling back my edits and calling them vandalism after I had pointed out that his continuous spamming of empty pages were vandalizing the wiki. The guy is known for edit wars on another wiki it seems. So how do I report him? I can't edit every week if this guy continues to vandalize the wiki like this. If you want to report a user, you should report to a VSTF right here: https://vstf.wikia.com/wiki/Report:Spam.

What did you mean by "Making an announcement is no good either as that will just have that guy also try and adopt the wiki."? This is like first come, first serve special offer. Whoever adopts a wiki first is lucky. Other users who try to do the same thing will not be accepted unless they've followed the guidelines that were shown in the Adoption Requests. Making an announcement is a "manner and fairness" to other people saying something that you are planning to do. So far, you adopted the wiki first.

As far as I know, what you are trying to do as being an admin on your desire is to prevent your editors editing your pages. If an admin caught a user vandalizing a page, that admin should be warning to the user, not locking pages. This may cause the decrease amount of editors in your wiki, and I already know that Deadtube wiki needs a lot of work and fixing. Funny since he plagiarised my blog post so I doubt anyone would want a plagiarist.
