Basic information
Comprehensive edits analysis Otto4711 started out as a normal editor in April 2006, editing mostly in the topic area of American television. However, he faced multiple blocks and ANI threads for personal attacks and edit warring, and after the sixth block in September 2009, he started evading the block using an alt account, and later.
