Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

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

WP:AIV

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!

The edits of the user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
Except for egregious cases, the user must have been given enough warning(s).
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.
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). ~~~~
Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should be made at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
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.

@Soetermans User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. I don't see a final warning, just a single month-old level-3 warning. --Ahecht (TALK

209.249.71.55 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) I reverted an unconstructive but fairly benign edit from this school IP. Turns out almost all contribs have been reverted, and the two recent ones that weren't are also questionable. This probably needs a short block, hopefully they'll create an account so we can actually talk to them. Toadspike [Talk] 19:04, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Insufficient recent activity to warrant a block. Two edits in the last month doesn't rise to the level of disruption that warrants a block, and they appear to have stopped editing after a second warning. Feel free to re-report if this IP continues to be a problem. --Ahecht (TALK

Insufficient recent activity to warrant a block. Please sufficiently warn the user if they continue disruption and re-report to AIV if they continue past the warnings. Fathoms Below (talk) 20:30, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there's a difference between adding unsourced content to a BLP and an actual BLP violation.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:21, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

80.79.145.36 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Cell-mediated immunity: vandalism after final warning. Repeated vandalism after warnings and blocks; WP:NOTHERE. Zefr (talk) 19:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No edits since being warned. Re-report if this user continues vandalising or spamming after sufficient warnings. @Zefr: Do not warn a user and then immediately report them. You warned them 4 and a half hours after their only vandalism edit, then immediately came here after warning. It seems fairly clear this doesn't need immediate attention.

@Mvcg66b3r User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. Their edits don't appear to be obvious vandalism either, so it probably warrants more than just a generic "vandalism" template. --Ahecht (TALK
