Wikipedia LTA

On Wikipedia, please create a long-term abuse page for WhenDatHotlineBling. This is a long-term vandal and sockmaster obsessed with fast food and animation articles and still vandalizes Wikimedia projects to this day. An LTA page for this vandal would be identifiable and beneficial to the community. Betternowposty (talk) 03:12, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

@Betternowposty: Do you have any experience dealing with this person in the past? I'm not very familiar with them as I've only encountered them once. Aspening (talk) 03:18, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

@Aspening: It was a year or two ago where I was reverting vandalism under an anonymous IP address and I noticed this user persistently vandalizing the McGriddles page. It has now become their main target and they often like to refer to it as an explicit parody name. That aside, there has been ongoing cross-wiki abuse and overall trolling and vandalism to articles about fast food and animated series aired on "the big three" kids networks. This is an ongoing LTA case worthy of its own page. Betternowposty (talk) 03:24, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
