    Report active, obvious, and persistent vandals and spammers here. Shortcut

    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 Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
    6. Reports of sockpuppetry should be made at Misplaced Pages: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.

    This noticeboard is for obvious vandals and spammers only. Consider taking this report to Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. If AN/I decided it was a content dispute, then we really can't do anything here because they have higher standards than we do. Someone mentioned taking it to ANEW, and that might be better, although it is increasingly looking like forum shopping. Daniel Case (talk) 14:16, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
    @Daniel Case: I've had no previous involvement or knowledge of the case, so it really can't be forum shopping. One of the affected templates was on my watchlist, so I became interested. Regardless of a content dispute, the IP user's edits fail on policy grounds (no cites for controversial edits) and they refuse to communicate. Is it really better to just let them burn other users' time having to clean up after them and then request protection on individual articles (which has been granted) instead of just stopping the problem at the source? —— 17:03, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
    User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently.  Ronhjones  21:17, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
    Edits are not vandalism. Please ensure recent edits constitute vandalism before re-reporting. Deville (Talk) 02:03, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
