Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

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

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.

User-reported

65.27.224.11 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – Two seperate IP addresses - this one being one of them - have been adding unnecessary info into articles of sports seasons - particularly Major League Baseball seasons - for months now. They have been warned about not doing so before a few times, were also blocked once for doing this but have persisted, and I suspect are a blocked user as well. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:06, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the second IP address 23.154.56.98. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. No warnings on either user's talk page and neither has been previously blocked. Ad Orientem (talk) 21:02, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ad Orientem, here is the talk page of the second IP. The relevant section: User_talk:24.101.112.71#April_2024. I'm presuming its the same user because the edits then and now are very similar. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:19, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now that I check, there are more than two IP addresses doing the same thing. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:23, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Omnis Scientia You need to take this report to WP:ANI. This isn't naked vandalism, which is what we deal with here and there is a possibility of multiple IPs being connected to the same user. That said, I do agree that there are similarities in the editing patterns. But it needs to be looked at in more detail. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:31, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
87.115.29.93 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Thatcherism (diff): WP:NOTHERE. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 21:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. A single NPOV violation isn't sufficient grounds to block, and some of the IP's edits seem misguided rather than unambiguous vandalism. Please make sure to also warn the IP if it makes subsequent disruptive edits. Fathoms Below (talk) 21:25, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This edit in particular is vandalism. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 21:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the first several bullets of the instructions on this page. A warning is the first step here. If they continue, WP:ANI is the better place to report it. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 23:19, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
