Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against 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!

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-reported

• 1.46.12.85 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Repeated abuse at Sam Mangel by a competitor repeatedly using different IP addresses based in the Philippines/Thailand. Fourth or fifth time this person has tried to deploy a weakened article with no references.

  Didn't block, but did protect the article for three months. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:24, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

• Mustanlahdenkatu (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Obvious sockpuppet account of Supporter33 [1] has returned to Post-postmodernism and started vandalizing headers [2] [3] [4] [5]. Warnings have now been issued but considering the socking I'm expecting a continuation of disruption. [6] Simonm223 (talk) 13:12, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

  And now making threats at my user talk page. [7] Simonm223 (talk) 13:25, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting.. I'm investigating the contributions to see whether it's POV pushing, WP:COMPETENCE or something else, and am mulling over blocking, but in any case, it's not a clear and obvious vandalism block.

I saw the header deletions without deleting content, replacing them with statement like "no wrong" as being vandalism. Simonm223 (talk) 13:41, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

But another editor clearly marked them as good-faith, which makes this not cut and dried. I think a warning for now followed by an article block is the best option. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:42, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
