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.

• Dan Palraz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - Edits pages without clear sourcing. BalloonMario (talk) 16:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

  Declined. No warnings, no evidence of attemtping to discuss concerns with the editor and frankly I'm not seeing anything that looks even remotely like naked WP:VANDALISM. Ad Orientem (talk) 16:46, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

  @Ad Orientem this looks like block evasion by 216.164.254.3 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) . Pinging @Drmies: EvergreenFir (talk) 16:51, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

• 49.237.9.89 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) This user has been using different IP to vandal hundred of pages and has not stopped for a year (?), I don't know if the warning system on their talk page is useful here or not because they moved on to different IP fast to continue their vandalism. Could we do something about it. Their MO is adding unsourced and incorrect info into (usually) publisher field of the page infobox. Theodorethebear (talk) 17:00, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
