    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.

    Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:02, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Warned user. Left warning for failing to cite reliable sources with some of his edits. The edits, while disruptive, do not amount to blatant vandalism. This may be good faith, which we should assume and give benefit of the doubt to whenever doubt exists. In this case, doubt certainly exists. He may be a "fanboy" (as you describe), sure. But are these bad faith edits? They might not be. I'm not prepared to block yet; we should try to educate the user and warn them for the actual issue at-hand (no references). If disruption does continue, please let me know. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:07, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Warned user. Left warning for edit warring. This doesn't appear to be blatant vandalism, but a content-related dispute. However, the user has reverted the article three times today. Warning left for potential 3RR violation. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Insufficient recent activity to warrant a block. We do not block users or IP addresses in a punitive measure for disruption that is not currently in progress or that has occurred in the past but has since stopped. Please use AIV only for reporting disruption that is currently in progress and needs intervention or action in order for it to stop. Thank you :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:12, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
