Administrator intervention against vandalism

This noticeboard is intended for reports about active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers. For further help, see the AIV guide. Reporting instructions The following are examples of how to report a vandal on this page. Please copy and paste an appropriate example to the very bottom of the page. For reporting logged-in users: * {{Vandal|username}} optional brief reason for listing (keep it short) ~~~~ For reporting IP (unregistered) users: * {{IPvandal|IP address}} brief reason for listing (keep it short) ~~~~ Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should go to WP:ANI, as a bot automatically removes accounts here that are blocked. Administrators typically action clear vandalism and disruption quickly. Before notifying administrators of a backlog here on another forum, consider if the remaining reports are actionable. Important! Your report may be declined if: The vandalism or spam is not obvious. Vandalism a deliberate attempt to obstruct or defeat the purpose of Wikipedia. For examples, see Wikipedia:Vandalism. If there is any doubt, use a different noticeboard, such as WP:ANI. The user has been given insufficient warnings to stop their disruptive behavior. A set of standardized template warnings are available to use. The warning(s) should have been given recently, and the user should have continued to vandalize despite the warnings. There is no reason to suspect that the user will further disrupt the site in the immediate future. Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, not to punish users. Stale reports are automatically cleared by MDanielsBot after 4–8 hours with no action. Alternative noticeboards (for when the edits are not vandalism) To request page protection, visit WP:RFPP. To report problematic usernames, visit WP:UAA. To report edit warring, visit WP:ANEW. To report suspected sockpuppetry, visit WP:SPI. Sockpuppetry may also be reported here at AIV if the connection between the accounts is obvious and disruption is recent and ongoing. To report other incidents and behavioral problems, visit WP:ANI.
