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.

• User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:44, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. (Non-admin) Ipatrol (talk) 23:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll have a talk with this user about article ownership. Icestorm815 • Talk 02:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• 67.35.76.40 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) - vandalism after final warning. all edits required reversion; including a WP:BLP violation on Foxy Brown (rapper) article. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 02:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. Someguy1221 (talk) 02:47, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• Wetman88 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - On Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Wetman88;. I've never seen this before. User nominated himself for adminship and then blatantly forged several support votes? Is this a blockable offense?. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 02:57, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

• – Please block this highly disruptive user permanently, for e.g. forging votes on RfA. This user has had his/her chance. Antique Rose (talk) 03:02, 3 April 2009 (UTC) ^{(Moved by bot)}

Note: I don't believe it's an automatically blockable offense. It's more of an irresponsible thing that just instantly fails your RFA. The user has been warned about the situation. [5] Also, this request might have been more suited for WP:AN/I. I'll keep an eye out to see if this escalates any further. Cheers, Icestorm815 • Talk 03:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
