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.

• Tajik (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is very disruptive and a racist, has been blocked 17 times for edit-warring, sockpuppetry but still vandalizes pages by removing correct information with falsification, he's ethnic Tajik targetting Pashtun related articles, he's going around gathering other editors for edit-wars, and is putting racist type of edits in Pashtun articles to try to discredit, defame, and dishonor them. After he does all this he goes to this free online chat site where he's a regular and abuse Pashtuns. 119.73.6.24 (talk) 20:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

• Comment: I'm not an admin and can't speak for any of them, but generally, when an AIV report is as long as this, it might better be placed at WP:ANI or some other forum intended to deal with issues more complicated than blatant vandalism. Cosmic Latte (talk) 20:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

The vandal removes information from articles which he's not suppose to [1][2] and he's fully aware he's doing something wrong, and he leaves the page with falsified info, just study his edits carefully.--119.73.6.24 (talk) 21:12, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

• Comment: I don't know if that's vandalism, because I'm not familiar with the topic, but in either case it does not look like blatant vandalism. Again, my non-admin recommendation would be to take this issue to WP:ANI or, better yet, to the article's talk page, where you can seek consensus that this editor's actions are disruptive. P.S. Best of all, first try communicating with the editor on his own talk page, and see if you can find some common ground. Depending on the situation, WP:AN3 or WP:DR may also be relevant, but if one must "study...edits carefully" in order to induce vandalism, then AIV probably isn't the best place to report it.

• 75.151.43.138 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) - . Evidently a vandalism-only account that has missed attention. Suggest one day for starters. Don't think he has been severely warned before.. Student7 (talk) 20:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Removing sourced content from pages is vandalism. What's there to explain more in other place? If you look at this for example he removed place of death from correctly sourced Damiyak, India to Ghor, Afghanistan, which is non-sourced and false. --119.73.6.24 (talk) 21:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
