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.

• 128.197.28.149 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Political status of Western Sahara (diff): vandalism after final warning. removal of sourced content without a valid reason. M.Bitton (talk) 03:40, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  And again with this edit. When asked why the removed the content (again), they ignored the question, and when asked again, they left this personal attack (despite the fact that I already asked them to read WP:AGF after this this uncalled for comment). M.Bitton (talk) 05:19, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  Report was good at the time, but is now stale. (8 hours since last edit) Re-report if this user resumes vandalising. — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 13:44, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

• ModernDaySlavery (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On User:ModernDaySlavery (diff): Possible EC-gaming. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 03:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  Note: Issue now at AN/I — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 13:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

• 112.79.198.102 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Seems to be a single user using various IPs to remove multiple references from Bengal Army to push POV. Also making use of inaccurate edit summaries: [1] Ixudi (talk) 15:23, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  I've protected. Izno (talk) 16:32, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

• 43.247.122.64 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) same falsification of statistics as 43.247.122.4 - rangeblock requested -
  I added this request, including a link to the blocked IPs edits, at 13.44, but the bot removed it as done at 13.48 - please see talk page - Arjayay (talk) 15:29, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  They will already have rotated off the previous address and there appear to be recent positive edits on the range requested.  Not done Izno (talk) 16:28, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

• 128.197.28.142 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Political status of Western Sahara (diff): @TheresNoTime: the previously reported IP just did it again, using another IP from the same range (this time, they even changed quoted statements that are attributed to sources). If another admin is seeing this, please refer to TheresNoTime's comment in the previous report (I tried to add this to it, but it was reverted by a bot). M.Bitton (talk) 16:49, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  My name is in the history now because I protected the page because of this report. I've done this in lieu of blocking because it's not clear to me they deserve a block for the main page editing. I saw the previous report. I would normally have blocked even after the fact for the personal comments but TNT declined to do so. Izno (talk) 17:18, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 17:22, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks both for reporting/actioning this — I probably should have just blocked initially, but either way, problem solved for now it seems — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 17:25, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

• 12.248.253.66 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – vandalism after recent release of block. Back from block and right back to the same unsourced trivia and commentary. Meters (talk) 18:18, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
