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.

    This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. @Chrisahn: Please read the banner at the top of this page. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 02:53, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think you looked at the user's edits. If you did, it would be obvious that this is a long-term vandal. I find your insinuation that I didn't read the banner silly and a bit insulting. I've reported lots of vandals at AIV and ANI. OK, I'll report this vandal at ANI, but I think you should be a bit more careful with how you deal with reports here. — Chrisahn (talk) 04:42, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chrisahn: You reported 49.3.209.138 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for BLP violations. And today's edit looks much more like a BLP violation than obvious vandalism. AIV is really intended for obvious vandalism and as mentioned on WP:GAIV: complex cases should usually be referred to other boards. Thanks for taking it to ANI. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 05:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    A BLP violation that is also obvious vandalism. The categories aren't mutually exclusive. In the latest edit, the vandal claimed the person disappeared on December 11, 2025 (note: in the future). In a very similar previous edit, the vandal claimed the person died on December 11, 2024. Maybe I should have pointed out these details in my original report, but I wanted to keep it short, and I thought a quick look at the edits of the IPs would make it obvious that this is vandalism and block evasion. But anyway, my report here can be deleted. See ANI. — Chrisahn (talk) 05:27, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
