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.

• 68.192.223.254 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – repeated vandalism again and again, numerous varnings, and now user removes the varnings from his page Warrington (talk) 16:11, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
  • - repeat vandal at it again; latest incident was blanking User talk:68.192.223.254 in order to remove/hide multiple vandalism warnings. Also, you will likely find the talk page blank again since I've probably already violated the 3RR rule in restoring what was removed. :( -- Gmatsuda (talk) 15:42, 24 January 2009 (UTC) ^{(Moved by bot)}
    • As per WP:USER, editors are permitted to remove warnings at will from their own talk page. --Kralizec! (talk) 15:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
      • Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. --Kralizec! (talk) 15:52, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
        • Hmm...was that a recent change, or has it always been in place? I was involved in a similar case some time ago and the user in question ended up being blocked. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 15:54, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
          • That depends on your definition of "recent" as WP:VAN was explicitly updated to reflect this 1,114 days ago [1]. --Kralizec! (talk) 16:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
            • Interesting. The incident, if I recall correctly, happened well after that. Very odd. Thought I was doing the right thing. Sorry for causing problems. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 16:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
              • Looks like I'm not the only one who didn't know about the change... -- Gmatsuda (talk) 16:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
                • Thanks, I see that now too. I went ahead and left a message for Warrington as well. --Kralizec! (talk) 16:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
