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

• Ratherous (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) This user has repeatedly engaged in edits that align with Russian disinformation narratives by including occupied territories as part of Russia, despite these areas being internationally recognized as part of Ukraine. When challenged on this, they dismissed concerns and refused to acknowledge established facts under international law. It violates WP:NPOV (Neutral Point of View), WP:V (Verifiability), WP:DISRUPT (Disruptive Editing). I have engaged in discussions with this user, attempting to clarify why Wikipedia should not reflect the territorial claims of an occupying force. However, they continue to insist that the issue is “not about sovereignty” and refuse to acknowledge the broader implications of their edits. They have also responded dismissively to multiple editors raising similar concerns. (talk) 15:20, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

  This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 15:41, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

• Despechi.ro (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – vandalism after final warning; actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. User is not here to edit constructively; continued addition of unsourced materials, dating back to January 2023. livelikemusic (TALK!) 16:26, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

  User has been inappropriately warned. 4im warnings are appropriate for severe vandalism and defamation only. --Ahecht (TALK

  Users are allowed to delete warnings, in that it is an acknowledgement they have read them. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 17:15, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

  Sorry, I should've made it more clear what they were doing. They were deleting their warnings, saying sorry, and then going back to what they were doing. See their previous contributions. / RemoveRedSky ^[talk] 17:17, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

• 2601:285:4000:8B80:623C:40B6:EFC5:6FAC (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Angels Landing (Los Angeles): vandalism after final warning. This user was using an large language model (LLM) to vandalize this article and also vandalized the article about Brooklyn Village in Charlotte, NC. They sent me a message on my talk page that eventually got taken down, but I didn't realize that after getting help from another Wikipedia user on their talk page.

  • Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. Checking the user's contributions shows that the edits may need secondary sources and aren't obvious vandalism. Fathoms Below (talk) 19:25, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
