Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Steve carlson (talk | contribs) at 08:26, 18 July 2014 (Reporting Bobthebill. (TW)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

    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!
    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.

    • No vandalism since final warning. Re-report if this user resumes vandalising. My reading of the timestamps indicates there has been no vandalism since the final warning. Go Phightins! 22:47, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Please look again: their last 3 edits were at 1:09, 1:13, and 1:20. Their last warning was at 2:30. They have therefore not edited since their last warning the panda ₯’ 23:24, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) According to what I see, Aidan was final-warned at 02:30. Since then, s/he has made edits at 02:31, 05:09, 05:13, 05:20, 23:27, and 23:46 (times quoted by DP are bolded; all times in UTC; all were on July 17th). —LucasThoms 00:03, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    And the 23:27 edit is yet another attempt to insert the dubious unsourced release, with a third set of values. Meters (talk) 00:18, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Regardless of timestamps, I fail to see how it's vandalism - that word has a strict meaning. This appears to be a content dispute, follow WP:DR the panda ₯’ 00:26, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    no Declined Eric, you brought this up at ANI already the panda ₯’ 00:25, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, wasn't sure how/where was best to present the issue. Hoped to draw attention and get support with a minimal waste of time. Eric talk 00:55, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Anonymous edits to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_K._Benjamin by 66.57.175.51 and several others continue to try to remove sourced material about a politician. This article needs to be protected. JaneOlds (talk) 06:10, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
