Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism: Difference between revisions

Report active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers here.

Shortcut WP:AIV 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.

User-reported

• Ravishyam Bangalore (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On Aadhar:. This user has clear biased view towards Aadhar and looks liks an SPA. There are several warnings and their edits have been reverted by several users. ANI may be appropriate for this user, but I see no outcome from ANI from their recent behaviour. Please see [1], [2], [3], [4]. — LeoFrank  ^Talk 15:54, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. — Kralizec! (talk) 16:10, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  [5] is persistent vandalism from a previously indeff blocked user for the same topic and making legal threats. This is not simply edit-warring or a content dispute, such editors are a threat to the integrity of Wikipedia. Lindashiers (talk) 18:08, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  That user has been here since May, are you suggesting they are the same person as a blocked vandal? Which one? What legal threats? Chillum 18:11, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  "19:03, 20 November 2013 Toddst1 (talk | contribs) blocked Ravishyam Bangalore (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite (Making legal threats)".

  I have just given this user a final warning regarding links. This warning mentions the blacklist which scares the willies out of spammers. Chillum 18:18, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  Editor keeps removing references and making other random edits to articles primarily about Buffalo Metro Rail, but seems to be branching out to other Buffalo articles (but also three TV shows). Useddenim (talk) 00:35, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. And, in fact, some of his edits are sourced and useful (while some of them, I grant, aren't). Perhaps you could help them sort this out instead of just bulk-reverting them?

Editor has made ~50 edits (including repeating the same previously-multiply-reverted edit to Template:Buffalo Metro Rail) since receiving a level 4 warning (which he most-certainly knows—but doesn’t care—about, as he removed it from his talk page).
