    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.

    I have never vandalized any Wikipedia article during my years here. The above editor leaves repeated threatening messages at my talk page and tags articles without actually contributing to discussion explaining the reason for such tags (which is improper). Badagnani (talk) 19:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Badagnani repeatedly removed the speedy tag instead of adding a hangon tag, despite repeated warnings, and also erased those warnings from his talk page. That shows culpability. Attempting to evade proper WP procedure and policy. Should be blocked (again). - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:38, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Again, tagging the page without actually explaining the reason for the tag, when sources did show before the tagging that the individual met our notability requirements, was not proper, and thus the tags were removed pending such explanation at the discussion page. Wikipedia is a place for collaborative editing, not a battleground or place for undermining others' work. Badagnani (talk) 19:42, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Articles tagged for speedy deletion rarely, if ever, have reasons given on the article talk page. The speedy delete tag itself explains the reason. If Badagnani had followed proper procedure, then a discussion would have taken place. But he did not, and repeatedly violated Wikipedia policy that he had clear and prior knowledge about. He has repeated blocks for edit warring in the past, and shows a willingness to discuss matters only when his hand is forced. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 20:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
