    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.

    Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. Cirt (talk) 21:44, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I investigated this report concomittantly with Cirt and agree that this is not overt vandalism. Please consider dispute resolution. Lazulilasher (talk) 21:45, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Sockpuppet investigations. If only to clean out the sock drawer. TNXMan 20:43, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I believe a person who has now been blocked for vandalism is using a login with my name and first initial, pretending to be me. She has been blocked, but can she post on other pages under that name or is that account permanently deleted? Thank you! Nadine Weissmann (talk) 21:03, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    No, once the account is blocked, it is unable to post anywhere on the site (except the account's talk page) until it is unblocked. TNXMan 22:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I am not so sure about this one. The page history has a lot of vandalism and reverts. CDrive655 may be removing vandalism, which may make up most of the article prior to his edits. Martin451 (talk) 22:07, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Look at the content removal of his edits.....if this isn't a vandal, it's snowing in Honolulu! WuhWuzDat 22:12, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, CDrive is removing most of the content. But look at the page history, it is jumping from 5k edits by autoconfirmed users, to 20k edits by ips, which get reverted. Also look at what is acutally in the 20k version. Martin451 (talk) 22:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
