Comprehensive edits analysis of Caidin-Johnson
In the mid-2010s, a young man by the name of Caidin-Johnson created the first of many accounts on Wikipedia. He has been known to use the site as a vehicle for vandalizing articles, mainly those of programs aimed at small children, by inserting into them various bits of nonsensical commentary. He has been said by one user to have been responsible for editing in Nickelodeon and Disney theme songs in Happy Tree Friends, an animated web series that is not intended for children. He has also taken egotistical routes, such as self-insertion into articles that do not concern him. The most extreme cases of this are his many edits to the List of Crayola crayon colors article, where he invents such colors as "Caidin Red", "Mrs. Fields Yellow", "Grammy Green", "Mommy Blue", "Bungyung Purple", "Clee Brown", "Scooby Black", and so on and so forth. He also has an obsession with inflatable, bursting, popping and bouncing objects.

Habitual behavior
He will create many new accounts in order to repeatedly restore the same edits, and has been known to make vague requests for page unprotection on pages that are either semi-protected, or fully-protected.
He rarely makes edit summaries, but when he does, they are typically nonsensical. For example: "I hope I don't get blocked!" is sometimes encountered.
He often ceases activity for months at a time, leading to hope that he has moved on from this childish behaviour, only to return.
