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.

• Leedonghyen (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Vandalism only account. Warned on talk page, ignored and continued same behavior. Multiple edits in a row with a mix of plausible sounding but unsourced stuff [1][2][3] and pure nonsense [4][5]. Notice that some of these edits contradict other edits (argues it's the tenth largest economy in one edit, and the 12th largest in others). Similar behavior on other pages; random additions and deletions [6]. seefooddiet (talk) 12:11, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
• Cinder painter (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On Nkiru Olumide-Ojo (diff): vandalism after final warning. This user, Cinder painter, totally destroyed the article in question by blanking a ton of sources and then nominating it for AfD. Many users noticed this. I reverted his blanking and gave him a level 3 warning. The following day, he proceeds to remove 2 more sources (http://advertisersnigeria.com/2nd-vice-president/) and (https://www.mipad.org/events/top40Program) which appear like valid sources. It appears this user has a grudge against the subject matter. I recommend blocking. m a MANÍ^{1990(talk | contribs)} 12:56, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

  Content dispute. Consider dispute resolution. Also has not received a final warning. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:10, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

• Gogshley26 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – Disrupts articles with unsourced additions after final warning and a prior block for this. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 13:23, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

  Declined. Not convinced that a block is appropriate here. I had a quick look at the last few edits and they appear to be good faith and accurate, and not necessarily needing additional sources. [7] [8]. Would suggest further engagement to guide user when additional sources are needed. TigerShark (talk) 15:13, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

• 68.71.12.47 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Alice Ball (diff): vandal only. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

  User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. IPs, by their nature, also can't be vandalism only. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:24, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
