Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism
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.
- 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 temp account}} 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.

User-reported
[edit]- SBC79 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – On General Conference (LDS Church): actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. Latest sock of LTA troll - recommend following the existing SPI case guidance. FyzixFighter (talk) 00:51, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
- The contribution on this account does not strike me as GeraldFord. Izno (talk) 01:11, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
- I could take it to SPI. I base this on the pattern of adding odd, weird trivia while trying to add a veneer of legitimacy by copying citations from elsewhere in the article. FyzixFighter (talk) 02:26, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

- DHVlogger36 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) – actions evidently indicate a vandalism-only account. Creating a draft which is 100% a hoax, they did this before last December, which were their only ever edits on here. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 03:10, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
No vandalism since final warning. Re-report if this user resumes vandalising. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 03:49, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. @MakaylaHippo1998: Long-term abuse from which other accounts? Why is this vandalism or spam? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 08:32, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
- @Daniel Quinlan their very first edit was "Wikipedia is very bad and misleading site", a very strange thing to post on a userpage for actually legitimately good contributors. Have seen countless sock accounts (not specifically identifiable) post similar messages in their userspace. MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 08:38, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
- @MakaylaHippo1998: It's strange, but it's a sandbox edit and they haven't vandalized anything. Please don't report accounts here speculatively. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 09:00, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
