Bambifan101

You just know he owns one of these.

Bambifan101 is a kid who has been vandalizing Disney related articles on TOW for years, resulting in numerous sock puppet investigations and him earning his own spot in the coveted halls of long term abuse. He claims to be a wealthy teenager from Alabama, which is likely because he has utilized public wifi networks across the southern United States to aid him in his goal of "correcting" Wikipedia. It is suspected that he originally edited through the User:Okapi7 account.

The Begging

Typical edits from Bambifan101.

Bambifan101 began editing Wikipedia in late 2008, blanking sections while adding useless information without sources (and several grammar and spelling errors) at the same time. His "corrections" soon caught the attention of several wikipedos who immediately began whining about them on the talk pages. In response, he would remove the comments of anyone who dared try to correct him. He would also preform page move vandalism by unnecessarily lengthening the titles.

	“	You had plenty of chances to learn to be helpful, but you continued ignoring all of the warnings you were given and continued vandalizing the articles you claim to love, article talk pages, and the talk pages of other IPs. Why did you do those things if you wish to be helpful and bring the articles up to a higher standard?	„
	—Collectonian

All of this added up to one short term ban in August of 2008, and eventually the indefinite block of his account a few months later[1]. To this day, it is debated if he was trolling the entire time, or was attempting to make legitimate contributions.

Sock Puppets and Action Taken by Wikipedia

Him having a conversation with himself.

Blocking him did little for Jimbo's army, as he was on a dynamic IP. He also began creating socks at his school, local library, and all other networks he could use. Wikipedia first dealt with these by attempting to mentor him. Needless to say, this only lead him to further pissing off the admins and all other users who attempted to turn him into a regular wikipedo. Every time this happened, he would continue to make more sockpuppets to disrupt the process.

Range Blocks

After a year of attempting to turn him around, Wikipedia realized that he did not plan on stopping his conquest of TOW. This resulted in Wikipedia admin PMDrive1061 contacting his ISP. Six range blocks were put in place to prevent him from editing from home, school, and all other places he had access to the interwebs. This still proved to be useless, as he began creating accounts through open proxies and the computers of his relatives/friends.

Taking Advantage of Foreigners and Dumbasses

After Wikipedia began semi-protecting the pages he frequented, he choose to recruit other users to carry out his dirty work and change the articles as he pleased. Because most English speaking Wikipedians knew better than to cooperate with him, he began contacting administrators of non-English wikis, who usually complied with him. Bambifan101 would also agree with editors whose contributions were in question in an attempt to get them to make edits for him as well.

Currently

Bambifan101 is still very active on TOW, creating sockpuppets and getting involved in Disney-related article disputes. Most admins shit bricks at his name being mentioned, and will immediately take action to prevent further abuse of their precious articles. He also has female persona which he uses to express his views on the importance of sexuality.
