Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism: Difference between revisions

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; the guidelines above are in place to help administrators focus on the most urgent issues. Before notifying administrators at another forum about a backlog on this page, consider whether the remaining reports are actionable. Stale reports are automatically cleared by MDanielsBot after 4–8 hours with no action.

Reports

User-reported

• BittersweetFools (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. This is a WP:TENDENTIOUS hoaxer and vandal only. Almost all edits have been reverted because they are garbage, and three times self-reverted because they are jokes and hoaxes. All of his edits are dreck,[1] hoaxes,[2] nonsense,[3] or WP:SOAPBOX or other vandalism.[4][5][6] All his articles he created have been or will be deleted as garbage, some of which are simply hate speech or attacks as you can see at a glance on his Talk page. Supremely WP:NOTHERE. Thank you. — Smuckola(talk) 14:29, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
• 123.195.96.79 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Han Taiwanese: vandalism after recent release of block. Continuation of disruptive editing that led to their previous blocks. Examples of edits before their last 6 Sep block: 1 2

  Given this, anything not vastly exceeding the length of their first, month-long block from 30 Apr would be a travesty. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 15:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

• THESUQ39012 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Obvious sock puppetry/block evasion by DJSUQ9301, which account was blocked for self-promotion. If you look at the sock's edit, they are trying (ineptly) to link to a website the older account was linked to. ETA - also see their edits at Yass.

• 2601:243:1980:BD00:9D58:AD45:B38D:8AE6 (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) This user was automatically reported by Huggle due to reverted vandalism after a final warning. Please verify their contributions carefully, it may be a false positive Serols (talk) 16:17, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
• 74.96.158.204 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – vandalism after final warning. Presumably User:Abramsartistsnyc editing logged out; repeatedly removing AfC comments and templates from a rejected draft, and both this IP and the registered user have had final warnings for doing that. Absolutely not here to build an encyclopedia. bonadea contributions talk 16:52, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
• 2405:204:2007:E42D:7F26:EACB:9AF7:58FA (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Xinjiang (diff): vandalism after final warning. Blatant POV-pushing that need not ever require any warning against. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 17:09, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
