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! 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.

• 184.76.188.24 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) IP continues to take articles such as List of The Local AccuWeather Channel affiliates and Owned-and-operated television stations in the United States back in time, along with other incorrect information on articles. A longtime problem with a plug-unplug IP, and I implore you that 72h isn't enough, they're just going to come right back. Nate • (chatter) 01:32, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
• 108.185.34.157 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Vandalism of Power Rangers SPD after final warning. Keeps adding unsourced info, mainly in supposed real names for the characters. User has been blocked twice for vandalism. Crboyer (talk) 04:32, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
• TheSickBehemoth (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On Impending Doom: vandalism after final warning. Editor continues to make genre changes without discussion and against supported references after being warned not to. The warnings were from May but are still valid. The editor also refuses to explain or discuss changes. A long (several days rather than 30 hours) first block might help the editor to become cooperative..

• 88.104.25.210 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Clare Devine (diff): vandalism after final warning. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:02, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

This is beyond out-of-hand. I am walking away now. The anon has been reverted by two three registered users and a bot. The anon refuses to discuss on the article's talk page and has started stalking me and editing other articles, some in a constructive way, others in an unconstructive way. The anon has argued that this article about a fictional character should be treated as a BLP. I have tried to explain the difference. No help. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:15, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

FWIW, this 'anon' is quite happy to discuss, and believes in core policies of WP:V, which WG does not seem to accept. This is a content dispute. The history clearly shows that WG has also breached the 'bright line', just as much as this anon has. 88.104.25.210 (talk) 07:19, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Reverting obvious vandalism is an exception therefore no 3RR violation on my part. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:23, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Except, it is far from 'obvious vandalism' - this is not some idiot pasting "LOL" in an article; it's someone quite open to discussion. Calling me a 'vandal' is really rather offensive. 88.104.25.210 (talk) 07:40, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Blanking an article so other editors cannot provide references is very obvious vandalism. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:52, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey, feel free to provide references - either by editing it with refs, or on the talk page. I guess you don't quite understand. "Obvious vandalism" is saying "POO POO I'M MISTER PLOPPY" 500 times. Trying to improve an article is not - and accusing someone of 'vandalism' when they're insisting on verifiable reliable sources is... well, it's poo poo. 88.104.25.210 (talk) 08:05, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
