In this edit, blocked user Madagascar Esape 2 Africa identifies himself as the Disney Vandal. removed the   tag from User:Madagascar Esape 2 Africa's talk page. I found it hard to imagine why anyone besides the blocked user himself would remove the tag.

No blocking action required: both users have already been indefinitely block for abusing multiple accounts. I posted here anyway because Black Kite already blocked the four main Bambifan101 IP ranges earlier today (prior to Ofetenview's edit) and I wanted to confirm whether Ofetenview was in fact a Bambifan101 sock.

This is getting really, really tedious having to deal with this individual. I suspect this is a "sleeper" account and an old one at that; he's using it to try and circumvent the blocks I placed against new users on his frequently targeted articles. I have further reason to believe he may be on the go and editing from various IPs in the southern US, possibly during a vacation. The use of CAPITAL LETTERS to emphasize a point on the talk page is suspect as well. Deleted contributions almost all revolve around similarities between Disney movies, another well-known MO.

I believe this is a sock of User:Bambifan101 based on the Duck test. In the past, socks of the Disney Vandal have come to my talk page and asked for help with a Disney film article, such as this user. I looked at his contribs and all the edit summaries seem like their written in the same style as DV. His usual targets have all been locked and coincidentally he happened to pick an article that I just started working on and put at the top of my "To Do" list on my user page (since been erased).

Then when asked why he's contributing to an article on a film he's never seen, he brings up Bambifan. Cactusjump (talk) 21:32, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I was alerted to this and I've blocked the "Cheetah Dash" account and protected the latest round of target articles. I've protected his "pets" for at least three months; other admins have slapped indef protection on other targets.

 * The user mentioned a rangeblock, so I presume he wanted to know how much collateral damage there was. In addition, a little digging into the Bambifan101 SPI archive would have shown that CU'ing his IPs have always been helpful in uncovering sleepers. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 02:19, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Close is only a suggestion, its not absolute as with the archive feature. I would have tagged this the same way based solely on PMDrives comments. However, is possible he has sleepers so while you're here, can you check it for us? :) I've removed the close tag and will add in the RFCU tag soonish.

 * Added 63.3.5.2 which is what he used earlier today. Both hit The Fox and the Hound whose protection had apparently expired. Additional evidence would be his various edit summaries, particularly and, as noted, his various talk page edits. My guess would be that he is traveling again. He's done that before, hitting with a new IP range while purportedly visiting relatives. (per himself, he's at his grandparents) Would also recommend some aggressive page locking for 1-2 weeks to cover the likely time as the IP range is too heavily used to be range blocked like his home range. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 02:05, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Most recent rash of suspected Bambifan101 socks from the edits and reaction to discovery. Self-identified other socks with the Mamasasa socks. Need to confirm these are him and find the underlying IP range as he is again getting around range blocks, as well as find and block any remaining sleepers. Suspect he is now using multiple accounts to appear to be supporting himself and to have some act "good" by stopping his "bad", so then the good is AGFed and allowed more leeway. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 00:36, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions

All of these accounts, and the IP, are already blocked, and all of the obvious socks that I could see on these ranges are also blocked. I set a rather broad hard range-block to attempt to slow him down a bit, but I don't know how effective it will be. In any case, most of the other ranges either are too large with too little activity to justify rangeblocking at this point, or are just too busy to know whether a rangeblock would even be feasible.

 * Suspected sockpuppets

Per user creation log, I have reason to believe that banned user Bambifan101 may have obtained another account (this time, User:Grouch'sfunland). As indicated by that log, this account was created by User:Jihiuyigygyuhuhuuhuhu. That user had created several other accounts, all of which have been indefinitely blocked as sockpuppets; most of those sockpuppets were identified as belonging to Bambifan101. I'm now certain that User:Jihiuyigygyuhuhuuhuhu is itself a sockpuppet of Bambifan101, as I have noticed that User:Jihiuyigygyuhuhuuhuhu and User:Lighteningluster (an identified sockpuppet of Bambifan101) have both edited the Nose-picking article; in addition, I have noticed that this edit by User:Jihiuyigygyuhuhuuhuhu at that particular article explicitly made references to multiple Disney animated films. According to the block log, User:Jihiuyigygyuhuhuuhuhu still has account creation privileges even though that account has already been indefinitely blocked for a username policy violation.

 * Suspected sockpuppets

New editor focusing almost exclusively on Disney articles. Among is first edits was to "helpfully" point out suspected Bambifan101 socks, and to revert supposed edits by the vandal. This is classic Bambifan101 behavior, to try to avoid detection by making multiple socks, one of which "outs" the others to make it seem like he is a "good" editor. Many of hits edits have been to revert/restore his preferred versions of articles, yet again, and he has already made efforts to approach most of the editors known for identifying Bambifan101 to show he is being helpful. Is also stating a preference for known Bambifan101 versions, while also "talking" to him or referencing him in edit summaries. Check user needed to confirm both this sock and the ones he outed, and find the new batch of sleepers as he makes a lot at once. The accounts on two other wiki's that he has interwikied on his page are also knew, doing no actual edits there beyond making the user pages for wikilinking. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk • contribs) 18:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

This account was just brought to my attention; it appears to be an old sleeper account given the earliest editing dates. I have reason to believe that Bambifan's IP has shut him down, but there still may be some sleepers lurking about given his tendency toward creating sockpuppet farms.

A legit user who works on film-related articles alerted me to this AT&T IP out of Key West, Florida. Bambifan edits via AT&T out of Mobile, Alabama, but he's either on vacation or has figured out a way to use proxy servers. I'm reluctant to block the range since again, he may simply be visiting the area, got hold of a computer and started back in. The usual subjects, the usual style, the usual edit summaries.

Evidence submitted by PMDrive1061
It's painfully obvious that this is the same person, but I have a feeling that this is not Bambifan101. The alternate characters in the usernames tell me it's the drooling mutations from ED who have been doing a bit of research on pesky vandals and are copycatting and using the LTA page as a reference. Wouldn't take a genius to fake a Bambifan account. Bambifan's four BellSouth IPs and his Mobile County School District IP have been blocked for a year. However, if these have originated from BellSouth accounts in Mobile, Alabama - or any IP from the southeastern US - it likely is Bambifan and a rangeblock should be imposed. I should point out that I have one other reason to believe that this is not Bambifan, but I don't want to tip my hand. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:17, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

See also IP 63.3.5.2 who is editing the same article about a book which barely registers as noteable. The IPs are both listed as "shared" and of course it is the same person. 63.3.5.3 became aggressive and rude when I questioned their "plot summaries." I would not have made the connection with Bambifan101, however, without noticing the "next door" 63.3.5.2 had undone my edits reverting 63.3.5.3 and the sockpuppetry case was mentioned on the talk page of 63.3.5.2  While the IPs could be used by another user why would they use two IPs linked to a sockpuppeteer? Why not get an account or have one created? Based on the arrogant behaviour and that IP 63.3.5.2 has been used by Bambifan101, I think it is Bambifan101. ALMOST a case of WP:DUCK.

Editor created account early on 8 October 2011 and first edits were to common BF101 targets The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under. Edits at the latter were primarily to revert the changes of an anon IP, listed above, which matches Bambifan's most recent M.O. of using unblocked IPs to create work for the new sock to revert, thus building up edit count to reach autoconfirmed status and the ability to bypass semi-protection at target articles. --  McDoob AU  93  04:57, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Update. The 68 IP is from California and is unlikely to be Bambifan but the 12 IP that I have just added is from Alabama and has edited in concert with Victorious and this is a hallmark of BF's disruptive editing. MarnetteD | Talk 15:00, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

This new user has only made one edit, however the one edit although not to the same articles is along the same lines as the sockpuppeteer, ie making unreferenced changes.

 * - as checkusers will not relate accounts to IPs. Also, by "targeting" could you explain what is wrong with their editing and why it resembles the master.
 * As a banned editor, Bambifan101 is not permitted to edit any article, even if said edits are considered by some to be constructive. Per Bambifan's M.O., he often goes after Disney movie articles, and The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under are two of his favorite targets. Whenever he finds a way into Wikipedia, he almost always goes after those articles first. While I agree there is no 100% guarantee that an anon IP working out of Mobile, Alabama whose first edits happen to be in articles on Disney movies is Bambifan, the community of editors who have fought Bambifan for years tend to err on the side of caution when edits appear that match that pattern. FWIW, the IP has made no further edits since the report, so hopefully he'll believe that portal into the project is now closed; unfortunately, Bambifan is simply too persistent and too determined to cause a hassle, so I'm sure we'll see him again soon. Also, this could be the first component of his most recent M.O., which is editing from an unblocked IP, then creating a new account through that IP and undoing the edits made by the IP, thus raising the new account to auto-confirmed status quickly and allowing him to circumvent the indefinite semi-protection applied to most (but not all) Disney film articles because of his antics.

I believe Redcoyote18 is a sock of Bambifan101, who was banned for using tons of socks almost a year ago.

Redcoyote18 has been inserting false information on film articles for months. He has been changing films' runtime. From the real, sourced runtime, he will reduce that length down for about 5-10 mins to exclude the time credit rolls. Most of edits are small, no change in character count, but the numbers are changed and has been passing unnoticed. The diffs can be found here:     He has been shortening the length of songs as well. In fact, anything on this contribution pages are pretty much the same thing, although I have only enough knowledge and time to confirm that the edits above are false.

The behavior is consistent with Bambifan101 as reported here. Other similar behavior can be found here especially as reported by Betty Logan, which are similar to the user reported above.

However, I have no knowledge to confirm the accuracy of some edits such as   or, so I do not know whether the user made good faith but misinformed edits and is a different person, or the same banned user. Kindly consider CheckUser as appropriate. Anthonydraco (talk) 17:31, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Additional information: I'm told to include this report of Bambifan101 long term abuse:

More info: IP 98.196.49.127 blanked the same article Redcoyote18 visited. The blanking were done in four edits; the total result is here. From previous sockpuppet investigations like and a few investigations onward, 98.196.49.127 falls into the similar range of IP used by Bambifan101. I think it's safe to assume that 98.196.49.127 is another IP used by Bambifan101, but whether this IP is the same is Redcoyote18 might require some looking into.

More info since last entry: Redcoyote18 has replied to the message I left on his talk page. I don't know if anyone here is familiar with his vandalism or talking style, but I'm adding this for consideration. I will ask around for more information.

Update: Since I heard that Redcoyote18 is editing from geographically different location, I've done some homework about the talking style of Bambifan101, and asked whether Redcoyote18's matches. The opinions of users familiar with Bambifan101 can be found here and. I'm adding this for your consideration. Anthonydraco (talk) 04:45, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' A CU would be useful here; A) because if it's BF we need to IP block, and B) the behavior is subtly different here (other article classes than the "classic" Bambifan101 Disney targets, adding music articles and a new behavior pattern with the running time modifications). Either this is newly linked behavior of BF or it's someone else with another less catastrophically bad problem, in which case an indef block is not the right first response... Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 04:36, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I saw this pop up not too long ago, and then decided it was time to register an opinion when Anthonydraco sought out assistance from a fellow "Bambi-hunter", Sjones23. In my opinion, this doesn't strike me as Bambifan101's normal behavior. It's not his normal targets, nor is it the changes he normally makes. Does this editor need some guidance in how things operate? Based on the response Anthonydraco got, I'd definitely say yes. The biggest thing that suggests this isn't BF101 is the geolocation of the IP - it doesn't match with either of Bambifan's last known physical locations (the Mobile, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia areas). Bambi's folks could certainly have moved again, however. -- McDoob AU  93  16:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

The user's clearly focused on Disney topics. Deleted references, talk page comments,, but also is too-aware of policy for a new account with edits and summaries such as these. An odd one to alter talk page archiving. Repeatedly makes claim of newness. Yet also claims to have been an IP for some time.
 * Editor has an overwhelming desire to reassess and assess Disney articles.
 * The editor possesses an unusual combative disposition and a battleground mentality. They also seem to be tracking my edits to some degree to provoke more issues, and specifically reverting my edits and claiming a host of policies. Then showing up with the edit summary "WP:CENTed lol". On pages they never were involved with and in a manner irrespective of the past. Mostly just to continue disrupting from the WP:Archive.is RFC 3 matter.
 * The Archive.is matter they've expressed extremely hostile and unusual familiarity with the project from the beginning, this makes me certain this user is not new and may be evading sanctions or blocks, they are so dogged and insist upon replying to everything and everyone that disagrees with them and will respond to themselves if it the conversation goes silent. Not sure if this is Bambifan's MO, but the disruption and repeatedly calling an editor a criminal and to "prepare for jail" is unacceptable. I would have taken this to ANI instead, if not for this.


 * Though I still think this users "reader instructions for verifying source" and reverting the removal of those instructions is just bizarre.

I think the SPI is necessary to figure out if our "Forbidden User" is actually "Forbidden", because their familiarity with all things Wikipedia and constant contradictions, poor prose and combative mentality seem to be hallmarks of many LTA. They seem quite aware of the policies and procedures and take part in Administrator's noticeboard requests for closure, comment on user name and banning policy questions and behave very unusually for someone claiming to be new and goes to point out that they are "in school" and how long they have been on Wikipedia on their userpage. And also make this aware within a week of joining. Anyways. Wonder what turns up. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 21:29, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Totally unrelated but this is Bambifan's typical Rescuer III addition - right? Not sure where this came out of the blue from with this editor, but that addition is highly suspect in a bunch of otherwise good edits. Data is stale, but I've removed the offending item and couldn't find anything other than a tumblr blog and a wikia mirroring it. More general stuff exists, like this changing "Wikia" BS outside of our realm. 2015! No wait, new name and style and 2017! But it was first released in 2012, or was it!? Anyways enough from me.

DonkeyKongLover101 has created the article GoAnimate: The Movie, which was previously created at Go!Animate The Movie and GoAnimate The Movie. The original article was deleted as a hoax and had contributions from a confirmed sock of Bambifan101, User:SouthParkIsCool2014. I'm including LucaElliot2 on this since this was the account that created the Go!Animate version, but was never blocked. Their edit history looks to be similar to Bambifan101's MO in that they liked to edit animation themed articles. I figure that if it's enough of a WP:DUCK scenario it might be worthwhile to block this account even though it's obviously stale, if only to deter attempts to return and use the account. Now the main link with DonkeyKongLover101 is that they recreated this article at GoAnimate: The Movie, which kind of comes across as an attempt to avoid detection- and this would have succeeded if I hadn't stumbled across the AfD and remembered the prior attempts to add this film to the mainspace.

Now when it comes to Anthonyg328 I'm really not entirely sure. Their only link to this is that they created the first version of the article at GoAnimate The Movie, which was an extremely blatant hoax. I wasn't going to name them but I also saw where they liked to edit animation articles similar to Bambifan101's editing style. At the very least I want to hear an explanation as to why they decided to create the article.

This isn't the strongest-strongest evidence to tie these people to Bambifan101, but it's enough to where I think that it'd be better to open up an SPI and doublecheck things in case this is another attempt to evade a block. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:17, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

 * I knew that I'd seen this at SPI before and it looks like I'd previously opened an SPI last year for User:StevenBInc. They'd created this page under the names Go!Animate: The Movie, GoAnimate: The Movie (2006 film), GoAnimate: The Real Movie, and Go!Animate: The Movie (2006 film). What concerns me is that although it isn't as strong as I'd like it to be, there is a link to Bambifan101 and they do seem to share some similarities. There is an obvious preference for editing books about children's animation, TV shows, and books- and like Bambifan101, StevenBInc openly stated that he would create new sockpuppets. I know that this isn't the strongest evidence and if someone familiar with Bambifan101's sockpatterns says that this isn't them, I'd like this moved to Sockpuppet investigations/StevenBInc. It does look like someone's evading a block here and the question is whether it's a Bambifan101 account or a separate person entirely. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:36, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks like there is some similarity with usernames since Bambifan101 did use some game-themed usernames like DrRobotnik046. There is an IP that edited the most recent article (GoAnimate: The Movie), so if someone thinks that this is a Bambifan101 deal then this will need to be investigated as well. It tracks back to Sacramento, but I know that some of the past IPs brought up at SPI have come from other states. Mostly just mentioning this so that if this is linked to Bambifan then I'll know to add the IPs from this latest article and maybe the past articles. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  07:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

I came across this via the article Go!animate the movie, which was one of the movies that Bambifan01 liked to create. They also tried to create it at the salted entry and ended up just making it at Talk:Go!Animate: The Movie. A look at their now deleted article history shows a pattern of creating hoax articles, which is in keeping with this editor. For those who can see deleted article history, you can check this out at The dog tale fan-film, Geo's 1st Movie, and The Dog Tale Story.

This is a pretty obvious sock so I'm more listing this for the record and so there can be a sweep for other accounts, as this guy usually opens multiple accounts at a time. Something to take into consideration is that the user is probably related to Bambifan01, as they share some similarities in editing, namely the focus on the fake Go!Animate movie.

 * Based on the information in the CU wiki, which is admittedly pretty stale, Blakeharris02 is ❌ to Bambifan. I don't have enough experience yet to determine if this another LTA case but I think it's definitely possible, so I'll leave it open for others to look at. Katietalk 18:54, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Technically, I think it's unlikely this is Bambifan based on the archives and very old CU log data. The CU wiki data is in some ways more chaotic when it comes to location, so in terms of determining only whether this account is editing from the same location as Bambifan and socks, which is all we can do as everything is stale, it's not very helpful. As for whether this account belongs to another master, that's always possible, but I don't see any I'm familiar with. The account is blocked and probably correctly so based on behavior, so I think we should move on. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Jkjk is already globally locked for long-term abuse, should also pass the duck test. This one is mainly about establishing a connection between Kkjj and the master. Kkjj is blocked in two projects but I don't think a CU has ever been run on this account - if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

Kkjj and Jkjk have some strange overlapping in multiple projects. I raised my suspicion when looking at tlwiki's vandalism and found that almost all pages Jkjk vandalized were previously edited by Kkjj. see Jkjk's contribs there. I know Bambifan101 has some weird stalking behavior, but there's something else I found didn't completely make sense to me.

For example in zhwiki, these edits are made 30 minutes apart and both are Disney movies. Note that edits by Jkjk are clearly vandalism.
 * 101忠狗續集：倫敦大冒險
 * zh:Special:Diff/47584093
 * zh:Special:Diff/47584505


 * 小姐与流浪汉2：狗儿逃家记
 * zh:Special:Diff/47584146
 * zh:Special:Diff/47584499

Kkjj has been editing Disney related articles in multiple wikis, but the additions were not always in compliant to the local wikis' formatting standards - e.g. this edit in zhwiki adds a lot of interwiki links (discouraged by zhwiki) and untranslated English names, changing the  parameter from "USA" (should transclude to something like  美国) to "United States" - this is not helping the project. Why change the name of the country in the infobox from Chinese to English in a Chinese project? The interwiki links were somehow fixed in later revisions, but still not the country name - 1, 2.

Back in enwiki, the overlap between Jkjk and Kkjj is just unbelievable. They are literally editing together.


 * Frozen (2013 film): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
 * We can see the edit summaries as well - "temporary undo, for pending changes" - this is most likely Kkjj trying to revert Jkjk's edit and then do another self unto to get the edit accepted automatically.

Also take a quick look at Kkjj's edits in enwiki, a majority are related to Disney movies (just as other projects); Bambifan101's vandalism targes are also Disney movies cross-wiki, many of which are what Kkjj have just edited.

The LTA page states, "Bambifan101 is the Wikipedia alias of a teenager from Mobile, Alabama who is a fan of juvenile-themed movies, books, and TV shows". There is a SPI case regarding Kkjj and the suspected sock is using an Alabama IP address. Also in zhwiki page history of 101忠狗續集：倫敦大冒險, an Alabama user edited the page first, three days later Kkjj edited, and then Jkjk. This kind of doesn't make sense to me, did Kkjj stalk someone in Alabama or what?

I would like a CU to look into this case to see if Kkjj is technically related to Jkjk and/or the master, since I am not entirely confident with my conclusion because Kkjj has been editing for quite a while and never suspected as Bambifan101 sock, especially given the strong overlap at Frozen (2013 film) in enwiki. Also, it is good to check if any of the accounts are using any proxies or VPN. -★- PlyrStar93. → Message me. ← 07:58, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Whenmoney's behavior looks very similar to Bambifan101, as both had edited the pages on family-friendly movies. On the Portuguese Wikipedia, they replaced information on The Fox and the Hound's article with the CGI film Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale. Bambifan had obsessed over Spider's Web in the past, calling it "the most stupid movie on the face of the Earth". This edit essentially confirms that Whenmoney is Bambifan.

Large number of edits on frequent Bambifan targets. Per consensus when dealing with LTA cases, the user has NOT been notified of this. -- McDoob AU93  13:14, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

This username was flagged by a bot as suspicious, for obvious reasons. It may well be innocuous, and I do not know whether the obvious username similarity by itself is enough to run a check in this case. Normally, I would AGF and not think twice about it, but given the severity of this case, I think I should leave the decision to an SPI clerk either way. Sw arm  23:10, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

This user shares nothing in common with the master other than the username, which is insufficient to take any action. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:20, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Edits are related to Disney and Bambifans' edits. User is aware of several Wikimedia editings, including Wikidata and previous edits reverted under suspected sockpuppetry. The edit summaries remind me to that of Frienshipfan User will not be notified per the long-term abuse listed at Long-term abuse/Bambifan101. © Tb hotch <big style="color: #555555;">™ (en-3). 02:51, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Requesting CU as TCS created the account a few days ago and has edited a semi-protected page, so there might be sleepers. Added 104.58.147.208, an IP from Mobile, AL that was blocked for sockpuppetry a few years ago. © Tb hotch <big style="color: #555555;">™ (en-3). 05:38, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

 * - Normally I would just outright close as the account is locked, but a check for sleepers would be beneficial if the stews haven't already done so. As such, endorsing this request. The SandDoctor  Talk 03:55, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * was already blocked and globally locked, but that's all that I see. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:35, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Edits to Liv and Maddie were exactly the same as the ones Bambifan was trying to do a few years ago under different accounts. And this isn't the first time socks have popped up since. Amaury • 19:20, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Yep, see . It looks like the same person has been using this IP for almost 5 years and it's been subject to lengthy blocks in the past, so - please block the IP (anon only, account creation blocked) for another year. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 02:09, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like Materialscientist just blocked it for 2 years, so closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 02:27, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

 * - The CheckUser tool cannot be used to publicly connect IP addresses and accounts. As only an IP address is listed in this report, CheckUser cannot be used and as such is declined. Dreamy <i style="color:#d00">Jazz</i> talk to me &#124; my contributions 11:27, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * This may well be someone evading a block, but I'm not convinced the behavior matches what's described at Long-term abuse/Bambifan101 and in the archives. At any rate, the IP hasn't edited since the 19th, so this is now stale. Closing. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:21, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
