For blatant vandalism within the last few hours, please see Administrator intervention against vandalism. This page is for reporting vandalism for which an ongoing response is required. This primarily includes multiple sockpuppets, pages currently being heavily vandalised, users that need to be monitored, open proxies, and vandalism which requires study on the part of an administrator before responding. Accounts that have only been used for vandalism (with no recent activity) should also be reported on this page, so that an administrator can look through their edits. Please make sure to read the first two sections before using this page.

Looks like a penis pic has been inserted into the Asian Currencies tag at the bottom... Not sure how to get to wherever this tag's content is to edit it. --Cheese Sandwich 03:56, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal calling himself 'Long John Silver', keeps reverting entire article to a highly POV version mostly consisting of conspiracy theories found on blogs. The vandal appears to come from behing a NAT box and so the IP address changes, often with each post. The vandal has also converted certain redirect articles into his own personal platform for a highly POV article. See [1]. The same poster has also repeatedly violated WP:NPA in the talk for Able Danger under the names 'Honest Abe' and 'Swamp Fox' calling those with contrary views 'liars' and 'National Socialists'.

   * 209.247.222.92/28

Oh more charming edits, 209.247.222.87 adding 'white power' to the MLK article. [2] And using the N. word on the Danny Glover article. [3]

Conestoga_wagon

I'm not entirely sure if I'm being had, or if others are having this problem, but everytime I click on a link going to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conestoga_wagon, I get redirected to the French wikipedia's article on Islam. The appropriate URL is retained in the address bar of my browser. There is nothing you can do with this page (edit, history, etc.) without typing the URL's into the address bar. However, the current real version shows up quite well if you click on its entry in the History page. This has to be vandalism--I could spend a half hour clicking on Random article without getting a topic I recognized, but this sucker redirects to a big fish of an article. Thanks for the help! --Adamrush 15:35, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Obesity

The article's main image of two fat mice has been replaced with an image of an obscene nature which looks questionable. --82.42.151.164 13:34, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keeps being vandalised by **ImSpartacus (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) on a semi-regular basis. Replaces text with Mandy Moore article. I dont have time to follow it through. Anyone seen any more vandalism by this user?? --82.42.151.164 12:45, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Highway 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Highway_1 some one put dongs on the bottom of the page.

It was a template that got defaced. It lasted only a minute, and if the vandalism is still visible for you, it's an old cache you're seing. Should be fine for everyone soon. Shanes 07:33, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A number of anon vandals.[4] Borisblue 04:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC) This one in particular: 192.133.129.161[reply]

Yep, you've got a persistent vandalism problem. But that's not the only problem with the article; it looks like it needs a lot of work. It's not even very clear just what it's about; apparently a movie, but IMDB has no entry for it. *Dan* 05:04, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

I don't really understand how to revet pages. Could someone fix it for me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.111.2 (talk • contribs) 03:44, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

IP Address continually vandalizing in the past few minutes: 24.33.151.62

Article is repeatedly vandalized with racist comments, slurs, and other nonsense. Other users and I have reverted vandalism several times today. Psy guy (talk) 22:37, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Many anonymous users post insults or nonsense. Article is reverted at least once a day. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 21:41, 2005 September 3 (UTC)

List of Nintendo Revolution games

Multiple anonymous users repeatedly add bogus entries like "Mario: Pimpin' Time". I'm guessing somebody linked here from GameFAQs. Nifboy 19:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC) Multiple users from the Gamefaqs message boards are constantly making vulgar posts.[reply]


IP addresses

Please report vandals who are operating under anonymous IP addresses under the appropriate severity level.

IP Severe


IP Moderate

I too will vouch that this user's only contributions are disruptive. He has also appeared from other IPs on the same range in order to avoid 3RR violation. Indef block recommended. Erwin
I'm sorry, as a relativly new user I had difficulty understanding that user:mongo wasn't violating any of those with this little comment "I CAN contact AOL and they CAN track your IP based on your posts and they CAN remove your memebership, and if you do something really stupid, an easy task for you I'm sure, maybe you can spend a few nights in a jail with the butt pirates..." I guess this is just user:mongo's way of making new people feel welcome, by threatening them with sodomy--172.156.178.23 05:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You also might want to check out Erwin_Walsh (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), but socks are neither here nor there, as they seem to have their own section--172.156.178.23 05:55, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
He'll probably get busted for violating 3RR himself. But please, stop the nonsense and stop the personal attacks. --Titoxd 06:04, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I doubt very much that anything would ever happen to mongo, either way, I don't much care.. good luck dealing with Walsh and the 8x.x.x.x anons--172.156.178.23 06:44, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You provided an unprovoked personal attack here right after vandalizing this touchy subject matter of all things and you expect civility from me. Sure, that's likely.--MONGO 08:05, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
Why would I expect civility from you? I would expect trolling and petty vandalism from you, and behold.. to be fair I would have expected it from one of your sockpuppets, not you, but it looks like you've been at it for a while --172.156.178.23 14:10, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I don't use sockpuppets, and the other comment isn't vandalism in any twisted vision you may have as a definition, nor is it a personal attack...is was in response to a real troll insulting the U.S. in the Hurricane Katrina articles talk page...bye.--MONGO 19:22, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • 210.11.188.30 (talk • contribs • block) Adds bizarre and offensive text to various articles, usually involving a friend's name and some obscene phrase; moderators keep having to revert. Has at least 40 edits to the address, and so far as I can tell all have been rubbish... a repeat vandal. I'm asking for at least a block here, maybe even a ban. -- Davis21Wylie 12:17, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • 4.152.165.245 (talk • contribs • block) keeps adding "She is also a former WWE Tag Team Champion along with Tina Fey." and "She is also a former WWE Heavyweight Champion and Tag Team Champion along with Amy Poehler." to their respective pages. Along with "*Chicken Fries RULE!", "*Matt thinks Tina Fey is the greatest WWE Champion ever, and laughs at all her jokes", and "*"You don't like Chicken Fries? Whazzup wit dat?"" Same user as the below.-- pmam21talkarticles 23:04, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • 221.134.224.183 (talk • contribs • block) yesterday; 221.134.225.188 (talk • contribs • block) today, has been reverting to a version of the Mumbai article [6] which has possible unfree images. I've warned him three times, told him that such an action is considered vandalism, and posted the relavent links to my talk. User refuses to respond. I've blocked his current IP address, but he may appear under another IP. User:Nichalp/sg 08:29, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

I would like any moderators to please ban this user as soon as possible with an expiry time of indefinite. -- Mike Garcia | talk 15:36, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like more of a content dispute than vandalism. *Dan* 04:13, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
This is one of Wikipedia's most persistent, long-term vandals. You can find his "contributions" going back to at least May under numerous aliases, including IP addresses in the 63.19.*.* range. More recently he's been registering throw-away user names. His MO is falsifying data in geographic articles in north central North Carolina, and occasionally vandalizing other things. Look at the history of Stokes County, North Carolina to see some of his typical edits. Blocking 63.19.0.0/16 usually shuts him down, though he has also used 65.54.*.*.

DoKuDan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) -- Faked his own request for adminship as his first contribution to Wikipedia, adding 29 comments in other people's names. This had me fooled, but when the RfA closed, it was rejected because he had faked it. — JIP | Talk 16:07, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Possible Sockpuppets

Via Egnatia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) resumed (see VIP archive) his ethnic cleansing campaign. MATIA 09:39, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
