Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

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! 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. You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

• 49.37.249.99 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) This person is repeatedly vandalizing articles without reading the cited source in the guise of legitimate edits. For example, he's messing up the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zydus_Lifesciences#Controversies section. I don't have the time to fix his malicious edits because they are interspersed between a bunch of edits. Requesting admin to undo his edits and block that IP range. Turk185 (talk) 08:41, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Note: Turk185 It is not at all obvious to someone unacquainted with this case why it's vandalism. Since this board is for dealing with obvious vandalism (as the notice at the top of the page says) a better venue for this report would be WP:ANI, where you should give enough explanation for someone without previous knowledge of the case to know what problems you are referring to.

  No vandalism since final warning. Re-report if this user resumes vandalising.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

• 89.210.210.193 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Block evasion and vandalism. In general, the common thing between the IPs in this complex is this: Removes links to other Greek airports even when referenced. Removes maintenance templates (source requests) from Thessaloniki Airport and from links to this airport. Also removes random links from other Greek airports. Has the opinion that suspended routes to Russian airports are cut. Recently the IPs went into removing suspended destinations from other airlines as if they were already cut. See also: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1110#46.17x airport article disruption. Block evasion of the blocked user "XB12345" (perm block) and the range 46.176.64.0/19 (blocked 21 September 2023 for 1 year). See an overview of the IP-complex at User_talk:The Banner#Vandal complex airport disruption. The Banner talk 15:02, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Sockpuppet investigations. @The Banner: I hate to kiCk this to another venue, but this is too complex for AIV, it really should be at WP:SPI.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

• 74.104.144.40 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) repeated disruptive editing of Canton, Massachusetts as well as other local pages due to a legal case Trickycrayon (talk) 15:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:15, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  not to mention the edits are from two days ago.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 17:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  there is an edit from sept 15 that is related - is this "the edits aren't recent enough" or "the edits aren't repeated over time"? sorry, i just want to be sure i understand when reporting is appropriate - i don't tend to report and only do small grammatical edits, but of the 5 times this IP has edited, 3 have been to vandalize related to the same case so i thought this was both recent and persistent. thank you! Trickycrayon (talk) 20:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

  sorry - I am usually a "minor edits" wikipedia editor, does this indicate that the user has now been warned? Trickycrayon (talk) 20:17, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Warned user. Further action may be necessary if the problematic editing continues, but for the present a warning should be enough. JBW (talk) 19:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

I cannot see this drive-by having any kind of positive influence on our content or community.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  18:50, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

• 50.200.216.42 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Persistent disruptive editing. Primarily either edits/creations of hoax drafts, or adding hoax/false information into already existing articles (such as on Nickelodeon Movies). IP also appears to be at 2601:80:4781:B740:0:0:0:0/64 as well. Magitroopa (talk) 19:33, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

• 88.24.94.30 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) New incarnation of a troll (or a troll farm) that has been responsible for disruptive editing and grave BLP violations for more than a year. You can see him popping up in this BLP again and again. Has been given ample warning. Has been previously trying to defame that living person in a most degrading way, repeatedly and always in the same vein. One other incarnation of that troll had already been blocked for vandalism for a month. Fisandelli (talk) 19:44, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
