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.

  Note: I have asked this user if they are they are also Benjamin David Barnes, and advised them about our sockpuppetry policy. They may just be a confused new user. Daniel Case (talk) 03:24, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

• 67.42.80.29 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On Tow Mater (diff): vandalism after final warning. repeated UCR. Anerdw (talk) 04:15, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

  To add on: the bigger reason is that the IP is continuously breaking sortkeys (diff, diff, diff) and external link templates (diff, diff, diff) on film pages despite multiple warnings. There's no indication the IP is willing to communicate, and mass editing to many pages makes it hard to keep up. Iiii I I I (talk) 04:37, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

  Evidently 2409:4000::/24 is used for vandalism, since it is partially blocked. Maybe the range must be fully blocked to prevent further vandalism. Sjö (talk) 08:27, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Also seems to possibly be block evasion of 151.213.225.225 as well. Magitroopa (talk) 08:51, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
