Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

Report active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers here.

Before reporting, read the spam and vandalism pages, as well as the AIV guide. To submit, edit this page and follow the instructions at the top of the "User-reported" section. For other issues, file a request for administrator attention.

Important!

1. The edits of the user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
2. Except for egregious cases, the user must have been given enough warning(s).
3. The warning(s) must have been given recently and there must be reasonable grounds to believe the user(s) will further disrupt the site in the immediate future.
4. If you decide that a report should be filed, place the following template at the bottom of the User-reported section:
   • * {{Vandal|Example user or IP}} Your concise reason (e.g. vandalised past 4th warning). ~~~~
5. Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should be made at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
6. Reports of sockpuppetry should be made at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations unless the connection between the accounts is obvious and disruption is recent and ongoing.

This noticeboard can grow and become backlogged. Stale reports are automatically cleared by MDanielsBot after 4–8 hours with no action.

Insufficient recent activity to warrant a block. Just one very ordinary run-of-the-mill vandalism edit. JBW (talk) 14:34, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

• Sittapiikki (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On George B. McClellan: Risto hot sir (talk · contribs), block evasion. -Lemonaka 14:35, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Also it isn't remotely obvious that this is block evasion, without giving any reason. JBW (talk) 14:43, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Per editing summary patterns. -Lemonaka 14:49, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

• Hippo43 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On Linda Rands (diff): Account has a history of blocks for disruptive behaviour / edit wars. Subject has been blanking the references and categories of a WP:BLP with no discussion. – Meena • 14:42, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

  Removing trivia is not vandalism. —Kusma (talk) 15:11, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
