Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Report active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers here.
    Shortcut

    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.

    Declined. This is a bizarre one, I checked out their edits and the book and author does exist on Amazon and on Google books, so there are good faith explanations for the edits. I can't quite bring myself to block per WP:COMPETENCE / WP:NOTHERE either. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:25, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @User:Ritchie333 With all due respect, since when did hijacking a completely different page [1] and incoherent and loaded ramblings [2] [3] become good faith editing? Borgenland (talk) 14:49, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
