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 temp account}} 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; the guidelines above are in place to help administrators focus on the most urgent issues. Before notifying administrators at another forum about a backlog on this page, consider whether the remaining reports are actionable. 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. There have also been no edits from the IP in over an hour, and VOA doesn't apply to IPs. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 00:58, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

• TravisGTAGamer (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – Repeated copyright violations. Editor has been previously warned about copyright issues. Whpq (talk) 00:43, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 01:01, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

• Ivan.susac (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. EEng 00:59, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
  • @EEng: I'm loathe to decline a report from you, but this looks to me like a new user self-reverting in good faith – frequently people don't realize their edits will actually save. I know there are some LTAs with similar tenancies – is this one of them? Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 01:03, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

    Hmmm, well, the revert came after I made this report. If you look at the article history, the same edit was made first by an IP, and when that was reverted he/she registered an account, made the same edit, then as you say reverted himseflf/herself. I guess we can wait and see.

    I'm fascinated by your loathing for me, though no doubt you're not the only one around here who feels that way. But perhaps you're confusing loath (adjective, "unwilling, reluctant; averse, disinclined") with loathe (verb, "To hate, detest, revile"). EEng 01:12, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
