    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.

    • 60.231.54.217 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) keeps adding content without a source. Many of the additions aren't even that controversial, some of them are even true but obvious - for example adding a note to "visa is required" that says "visa must be obtained" which is unnecessary. However many additions don't have a source and are not necessarily true, for example that visas must be obtained at this or that location, or that a letter of invitation is required, or that a maximum validity of a visa is this or that many days etc. I've tried warning the user and undoing the edits but it doesn't work. What made it particularly hard to follow this is the fact that he goes around many articles and the additions aren't repetitive, so it was hard to catch the pattern immediately especially since I follow all the visa requirements and visa policy articles which attract a lot of disruptive edits.Twofortnights (talk) 22:01, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
