'''MidAtlanticBaby''', or '''MAB''', is a user who repeatedly harasses editors and edits by posting disruptive, false questions for help on the [[Wikipedia:Teahouse|Teahouse]] and [[Wikipedia:Help desk|Help Desk]], as well as attacking pages related to Florida counties.
As of December 2024, MAB was blocked indefinitely from editing the English Wikipedia for death threats, and subsequently globally locked and banned by WMF Trust and Safety. Despite this, they continue to use multiple accounts and IP addresses to further disrupt Wikipedia.
