Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

Report active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers here.

WP:AIV

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!

The edits of the user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
Except for egregious cases, the user must have been given enough warning(s).
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.
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). ~~~~
Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should be made at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
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.

Warned user. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 12:25, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Warned user. Now at level 3. Will leave CTOPS notice on article talk per ARBHORN Daniel Case (talk) 18:59, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, it already has one. Daniel Case (talk) 19:00, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I gave the user a CTOPS alert instead (Interestingly this account was created back in December but didn't edit until yesterday. Hmmm ...) Daniel Case (talk) 19:03, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just reverted, this is the sock but the address is probably stale at this point. Izno (talk) 16:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This has sock vibes. Izno (talk) 15:58, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Sockpuppet investigations. Once we figure out who the master might be. Without that, they're not doing anything wrong. Daniel Case (talk) 19:15, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

51.7.130.75 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Vandalism after final warning - I mis-warned but they were given a final warning before doing things such as changing birth year in a BLP [1] and other fictional edits.

R33R23R3 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – Between the pointless drafts (which have zero chance of ever graduating) and the few mainspace edits, I feel like WP:CIR may apply here. GSK (talk • edits) 20:46, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
