Wikipedia talk:Long-term abuse/Bambifan101

IP Range
Just to let you guys know, as an admin of the site illogicopedia (and some of its cross-language projects) and user of the site uncyclopedia, this user is still very active across many wikis not limited to those two and it would be good to be wary of the return of this user. If it's any help at all, his IP range (most likely through proxies) appears to be between 68.*.*.* and 74.*.*.*, I have not seen any examples beyond this so far in hundreds of bans, reversions and deletions, in particular on Illogicopedia which has been heavily vandalised by him for the past week or so 195.195.156.44 (talk) 14:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)


 * It sucks that he is doing it, but neither of those are Wikipedia projects, so nothing anyone here can really do, except encourage filing reports with his ISP, same as we did. Enough complaints and they will do something. -- AnmaFinotera  (talk · contribs) 14:20, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, Uncyclopedia at least does have some overlap in terms of administrators with us, I believe ... it may help to co-ordinate information between the two wikis, if he becomes annoying enough to become permanently banned over there as well. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 14:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * AnmaFinotera, don't worry, I wasn't asking for help on the other wikis, we're doing just fine :) I just wanted to alert that this vandal is still active, meaning there's still the possibility of him returning to this or other wikipedia projects. Perma-bans are pretty regular for this guy, as our mediawikis don't allow for a rangeblock bigger than *.*.*.*/16. Anyway, yes, just wanted to give you guys the heads-up. 195.195.156.44 (talk) 14:45, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

That's what we did here with an 0.0/16 block range both here and at Simple English; he's pretty much gone from here as a result. Someone needs to plant a boot in his...well, you get the picture. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Came back
Hye, I thinks, Bambifan101 came back on the GD wikipedia under the account Engie : http://gd.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Engie --GdGourou - °o°  -  Talk to me  06:11, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Gender swaps
Listing to this article via a TTS program, it often mentions "herself" and then sometimes later switches back to "himself".

On another note, the user if often refered to as "user". I think it would make more sence to go "the user".

Ancient Bambifan
I found the following entries on a list of vandals from 10 years ago. They look a lot like early forms of Bambifan:

SpongeBob/The Shining vandal



 * All clearly the same person. This anon keeps adding nonsense "trivia" to articles and promoting false information, especially concerning a hoax SpongeBob SquarePants episode called "The Shining". All attempts to communicate, including many blocks, with this anon have failed, and the anon refuses to abide by wikipedia policy by removing AfD notices and refusal to cooperate with others in editing. This user lurks Disney, Pokémon, and SpongeBob articles, and is easily noticed by reversal to his own edits. --(redacted) 04:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe this vandal is far more prolific, ive seen similar IPs adding to various episode lists like the simpsons and the fairly odd parents usually adding fake episodes he wishes were real or screaming for the page to be unlocked to anon editing. (redacted) 18:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * He's moved on from his SpongeBob version of The Shining, but is still fixated on Brother Bear and SpongeBob; lately he's been hitting Bill Fagerbakke, Brother Bear, List of Disney animated features and List of notable Disney feature films (adding unreleased films), List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes, and Zathura (redacted) 04:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This vandal reminds me of, or as I like to call him/her/it 'The Cartoon Network Vandal'. They have the same style of attack, and are both persistent in their vandalism. Lately, has been hitting The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Zatch Bell!, Codename: Kids Next Door, Chibi-Robo!: Plug Into Adventure!, and Happy Tree Friends. I would also like to note that this user vandalizes the userpage(s) of anyone who posts on their talk page, my own userpage included. -- (redacted) 18:56, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Proof has arrived! Look at the contributions of . Now look at the contributions of . Finally, look at the contributions of . There isn't anything to guarantee that these are all the Shining Vandal, but according to what I have found, they all seem to go after the same articles and have the same method of attack. -- (redacted) 21:20, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The Cartoon Network vandal returned recently. Look at . The user has been blocked for six months because it is a sock puppet of . (redacted) 21:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like may also be one. Or an imitator. (redacted) 14:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * A user named made many vandal edits to the List of experiments from Lilo & Stitch on January 1st, claiming that the characters appeared in SpongeBob Squarepants episodes, and also as puppets in The Muppets and Sesame Street. I remember seeing this same vandalism on the page earlier in December with a different account (this account was only used on the 1st). Could it be the same person? (redacted) 09:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This one looks like the missing link between Bambifan and User:KuhnstylePro (he looks more like Bambi, but he used variations of "don't remove this" in edit summaries like Kuhnstyle). KATMAKROFAN (talk) 23:21, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Disney/Barney vandal
Since late May 2006, this user has vandalized several articles related to The Walt Disney Company, Barney & Friends and Public Broadcasting Service. Occasional targets include articles related to The Simpsons and The Land Before Time, along with miscellaneous television and media topics. His/her modus operandi is to introduce inaccuracies and bad formatting, much of it subtle to inexperienced users or those who know little about either subject. Edits from all IPs are identical, so it's virtually certain they are operated by the same user.

Articles frequented by this user include:

Disney articles:
 * : Fans of Disney animated films know there is an "official canon", and that not all Disney films are part of it, including live action films combined with animation, direct-to-video films and films distributed but not produced by Disney. This user continually adds two live-action films that include animation to the "official canon" list: The Reluctant Dragon and Pete's Dragon. She/he also removes explanatory notes from the list, removes verified future films and introduces a no-longer-accurate claim that Disney will never produce another traditionally animated feature film:, , . In the past, the vandal has removed information on feature film premieres:
 * : removes entries from the list of Touchstone films, removes a perfectly good image and changes good links to disambiguation links
 * : removes entries from the list of Touchstone films, removes a perfectly good image and changes good links to disambiguation links

Barney and PBS articles:
 * : Makes changes that compromise this page's accuracy; removes videos from the list: ,
 * Episodes of Barney & Friends
 * , adds Sesame Street information to Barney & Friends episodes. Make make some edits that look believable but then makes these edits

 * Another old vandal that quacks like Bambifan:

KATMAKROFAN (talk) 01:37, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Yet another Bambi-esque entry from the list of 10-year-old vandals:

Krabs502

 * seems to create multiple sockpuppets with usernames Krabs5**. Creates articles with dubious validity and inserts uncited (most likely hoax) information into articles. Attempts to contact the user have failed since whenever one username gets warned the user just creates another one to continue editing in the same manner. Most used account seems to be and the most recent is . Krabs520 removed an AFD tag from an article Krabs514 created. --(redacted) 13:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Krabs502 just tried to remove the AFD off of the same article (The Girl Who Turned to Stone (video game)) again. Has created yet another hoax article (The Smallest People in the World (video game)). --(redacted) 18:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I might as well note his IP address, which he also makes similar hoax edits under. --(redacted) 15:36, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Continued vandalism of this kind from Krabs and associated socks, most recently User:Krabs600. (redacted) 15:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * See, and (redacted) 15:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Why isn't this guy blocked at all? Any real edit he makes is drowned by the dozens of vandalistic ones he makes. - (redacted) 18:15, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Update, July 2007, the hoax edits have continued for the past year, particularly concerning WWE, Bratz, and EA Games, and an indefinite block has now been placed on the underlying IP 216.83.121.194. ANI report. -- (redacted) 19:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Following the above IP block, the vandal started using and continued with numerous more vandal sockpuppets. See  and Requests for checkuser/Case/216.83.121.194. -- (redacted) 00:57, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Mass deletion of redirects by this user
Recently, deleted numerous redirects by this user from non-notable game levels to Super Mario Galaxy. Should we mention this? LaundryPizza03 (talk) 19:33, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No. WP:RBI and all that. I’d rather not even have this section on the talk page. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:28, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

User:Tingtangtong
Hi all - since this was posted on ANI this morning, I have been doing some digging in relation to the physical location of this user, who was marked as a possible sock of Bambifan. The global logs are saying the home wiki was the jvwiki (Javanese), either they aren't a sock, or is using open proxies to edit from? Nightfury 09:44, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Please give WP:DENY a chance. Who cares about a throw-away account? Johnuniq (talk) 10:13, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
