    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.

    User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. These edits look more like test edits than they do blatant attempts at vandalism. Let's cut the guy some slack and maybe offer to educate the user and show them there the new user tutorial is. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:29, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Warned user. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:30, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    These look like good faith attempts to edit the article than they do blatant vandalism... have we tried offering help to the user and educating them on making impactful edits to the project? :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:33, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure how the cropping of photos constitutes vandalism? What instances of blatant vandalism is this user engaging in that you can provide diffs to? I've seen these edits since yesterday by this user... While they definitely had me raising a brow and taking a look at what was going on, I ultimately found no issue, violation, or fault with what was going on. All the user was doing was cropping photos... Unless I'm missing something? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:23, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The cropping wasn't the vandalism. I just mentioned it to show it was the same person, and they'd already got their warnings. Here's some of their vandalism under the current IP: [3], [4], [5], [6] Egsan Bacon (talk) 04:32, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Egsan Bacon - It's possible that these might be good faith mistakes and accidental deletions rather than vandalism. Hell, I've made stupid edits and idiot mistakes like this more than I can possibly count... have we tried simply talking to the user with a custom message and pointing these issues out to them politely and with the assumption of good faith? :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:35, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
