    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.

    (Non-administrator comment) - The use of an immediate Level 4 Warning seems to have been overly harsh in this instance, at least in my opinion. Arfæst Ealdwrítere talk! 23:26, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
    @Arfæst Ealdwrítere: This took into account (1) the gravity of adding incorrect information to a highly viewed article (which is linked from the WP Main Page), and (2) the fact of this being a vandalism-only account. Agreed that for a "normal" user, the 4-level warning procedure would be more appropriate. But here we had a WP:SPA doing serious damage. Regards, kashmiri 23:44, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
    Declined. There's only three edits, and they stopped five hours ago. Please re-report if activity resumes. Diannaa (talk) 00:37, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
    User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. No warnings, never blocked Ronhjones  21:48, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
    User has been inappropriately warned. 4im warnings are appropriate for severe vandalism and defamation only. Ronhjones  02:04, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
