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; 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.

This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators.
This notice will be automatically removed by HBC AIV helperbot14 (talk) when the backlog is cleared.

32.220.199.19 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – Has persisted on changing information without any sourcing within articles (see Seekonk Speedway, Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, and Waterford Speedbowl for examples) on race track-related articles despite multiple temporary blocks. Was previously given two level four warnings and separate 72-hour, 2-week, and 3-month bans. I feel a permanent IP ban is necessary at this point as they won't stop doing it after three separate bans. Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 00:14, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Permanent IP bans are generally not granted. However, one-year blocks can be given. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 00:29, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gotcha, did not know that. That's fine by me. Thanks for letting me know! Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 01:04, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gringo Lopuik (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. Appears to be block evading, possibly some form of LTA. Also has started making the same disruptive edits with 194.87.107.141. ProClasher97 ~ Have A Question? 05:33, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
190.143.252.246 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. Block evasion, appears to be involved with Gringo Lopuik in repeatedly disrupting redirects. ProClasher97 ~ Have A Question? 05:40, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Shawn Mendoza Mendez (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. Participating in redirect disruption on List of programs broadcast by Adult Swim (Latin America), possibly related to Gringo Lopuik and the IP above.

OmahaEditor402 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – vandalism after final warning; account is being used only for promotional purposes.

Number1rose (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Clearly not here to build an encyclopedia.
