Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

"WP:RVAN" redirects here. For information on how to respond to vandalism, see Wikipedia:Vandalism § How to respond to 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.

• 75.155.56.200 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – Repeated vandalisms from January: nonsenses, false/altered infos, disruptive editings. This pair od edits on 1930 FIFA World Cup (22 Jan) were false infos and reverted. On 26 January he did 4 edits on Rade, Steinburg, adding and removing twice "Rade Babic" in the name (on the infobox). Same thing in Berlin, whose name became "Rade Babic" and returns Berlin. Vandalism with repentance? On January 30 he modified a link with a broken one (rollbacked). Some minutes ago he modified a statistics without any explaination. Personally, I could assume good faith for some (1 or 2) singular edits, but summing all it seems a clear disruptive intent. The self-rollbacks of "Rade Babic" in Berlin and Rade make me suspect that the user would confuse the partrollers. Btw, seems to be static, also because all the edits have something related to Yugoslavia (Yugoslavia at the 1930 World Cup, the surname Babić, St. "Andrej", the Orthodox church). WP:NOTHERE says also A long-term history of disruptive behavior with little or no sign of other intentions. So, a stop could be IMHO useful. --Dэя-Бøяg 03:18, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Note: @DerBorg: I agree with what you say, but the IP address has received only one warning, and has not edited since reciving it. I am reluctant to block an editor who has not edited since being warned, except for really extreme cases. However, now that there has been a warning, I will be willing to block if there is any more of the same. Feel free to contact me if you see more from the same IP address, and remind me of this message. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:53, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• Joannejeff1789bob (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – vandal only account (see [1]). Quis separabit? 04:06, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Insufficient recent activity to warrant a block. Only one edit so far, and none since being warned. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:57, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• 172.56.8.170 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Nothing but trolling for censorship. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 16:04, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. It's not vandalism and admins have acted on his reports at ANI, not it's not pure trolling. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:17, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

• • Trolling and canvassing other users. Alrightythen, the admins at ANI will have to do the inevitable block of that IP. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 16:21, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
