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 IP}} 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. Stale reports are automatically cleared by MDanielsBot after 4–8 hours with no action.

  Insufficient recent activity to warrant a block. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:08, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

• Infolearner23 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) User has been warned several times in commons (here and here). Continues to insert images with clear copyrtight violations into en.WP.. --Chtrede (talk) 12:56, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

  @Chtrede this is better dealt with on Commons. I'd suggest c:COM:ANUP is the best venue. Feel free to point to this comment. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:07, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

  That is were it was reported (see my links), however, they are slow and as the user is imserting the copyrighted images in en.WP, I thought it is the alternative route to go. --Chtrede (talk) 13:15, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

  @Chtrede yeah, Commons doesn't move as quickly as enwiki but it's still better dealt with there. If the images are deleted on Commons and the user stops uploading them (or is blocked) there, the problem here goes away. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:04, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

• Tykusmart (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. Unconstructive editing at School bullying and twice at Sylvester Graham. Gommeh (talk/contribs) 14:21, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
• Nawal Iftikhar Rajput (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – account is being used only for promotional purposes. Frost 14:28, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
