This page helps responsible users to prevent vandalism from taking place. List a contributor by IP or username, if they have vandalized the Wikipedia.

Note: Please add new alerts at the top of the "Current alerts" list.

Two levels of urgency

If you want to alert everyone, leave the "minor edit" option unchecked. Be careful: this is the default.

If the listing doesn't require a immediate response, please be sure to check the "minor edit" option.

Format

You can use the format under the Current Alerts heading: IP address, pages touched, damage done. For a more comprehensive guide for dealing with different types of vandalism, see Dealing with vandalism.


Blocks and other tools

Cautions and alternatives

However, please do not label isolated instances of text deletions, replacements or odd additions as VANDALISM unless they seem intentionally overly lewd or offensive. More often than not, this is just a visitor to the site experimenting with how to use it (also see newbie test) -- labeling them as a VANDAL is a sure way of ensuring they will not become contributors. Only add alerts to this page of true VANDALISM such as a systematic attack on several articles. If you suspect an edit may be vandalism but are unsure, don't hesitate to list the edit on Wikipedia:RC patrol where it can be scrutinised by other editors. Above all, please be polite at first and give the person the benefit of the doubt until they prove they deserve otherwise.

If you need help or think someone else does, please leave a note at Wikipedia:clueless newbies.

Please note that deliberate vandalism of this page is likely to lead to you being blocked from editing Wikipedia.

If you disagree with someone's edits, please see the following pages:

  • (User:194.200.187.130 contributions) - interesting. This is an IIS box attached to the Internet, showing just a default page. It might be an idea to contact the admins of this machine, and ask them if it should be posting messages here.

Since User:Raptor made the above edit I guess Bird is creating more puppets? - Texture 21:58, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)


Bird seems to be mostly or totally blanking articles, most of which the user has contributed to extensively, or even exclusively. The big exception to this is the brain article. That was almost completely blanked with allegation of a copvio. I checked and the standard procedure for copyvios had not been followed which lead me to follow this up. I'd say bird requires watching over the next few days. David Newton 17:22, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • To get some context here, you might want to review Talk:Brain and also, User talk:Bird, before it was blanked, when I and Bird were having a discussion see this edit: [1]. It appears that our peer review standards were not high enough for Bird or something. Anyway s/he seemed to get bent out of shape about image formatting and decided to just leave. --Lexor|Talk 17:38, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Bird now appears to be going by the name of Accuracy dispute. Washington irving 19:56, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It appears that User:bird has now recruited a sock puppet. User:Accuracy dispute has already undone some of the reversions that were made to articles earlier. We have to sort this out.
There are two separate problems I see. One is that we have to stop Bird and sock puppets blanking articles. The other is that we have to investigate whether the articles are indeed copyvios, and if they are, we need to delete them. I'm going to protect pages that Bird is messing with so that we can sort this out once and for all. David Newton 20:01, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Where can we continue discussion of these pages. I can help re images. and original content. Washington irving 20:04, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Sorry, but you are the vandals. User bird questioned the integrity of contributions under that byline, and several users decided they would rather have innaccurate articles that were not even recognized as valid by the author. User bird stubbed the articles so better informed writers can fill them in when they find time, between their important task of telling other writers what they should do.
A mob of vigilantees moved into the USER_talk:bird page to tell user bird what user birds problem was but of this cabal of very intelligent encyclopedia writers, not one has attempted to accurately articulate what were birds concerns, and in the rush to lynch a vandal, few cared that it was bird questioning the provinence of bird's contributions. This can go on forever or people can respect that others do thing they might not want them to do and accept the loss. That is the outcome of this: the user name bird is lost to this community and I will not repair it. If people want this to stop, they will start researching and contributing to articles and will not grab a rope and yell vandal when somebody else makes a severe edit on text they wrote but can't fully trust. Or, you can spread the false romour that bird created intentionally false articles meerly for the opportunity to the be victim of a lynch mob.

Adding material of dubious provenance surreptitiously, then announcing it to be a copyright violation without specifying enough to allow its clean removal and then creating confusion with sock puppet user-ids constitutes bannable behaviour in my opinion. Pretending to do so likewise. I suggest starting on the procedure for banning Bird in all its incarnations. -- The Anome 16:58, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I did a temp-ban, as there have been suggestions that (a) this is a previously banned user and/or (b) it's a case of "rampage". I invite the Arbitration Committee to review my action. --Uncle Ed 19:13, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

He vandalize Gdansk. He insist on using word kill in context of the defenders of the Polish Post office. However, the people were executed by Nazis.

In the article mental illness the first line reads "A big fat shit is a psychiatric disorder..." But in the edit history the last editor is user:Jwrosenzweig who reverted a similar vandalism by 65.0.168.180 . big fat shit is wikilinked, but the corresponding article exists, but contains no text and has no edit history. And when i try to edit mental illness the word reads not big fat shit but mental illness and is not wikilinked. This is scary. I just succeeded correcting the problem by replacing "mental illness² with "mental illness". And no, this is not a strange script on my own computer, the word mental illnesslooks perfectly normal wherever else in wikipedia it is. This is scary. Lady Tenar 00:41, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The James Horner article (about the film composer) seems to have been removed, history and all. Moreover, its talk page not only has an obscenity on it, but has been protected, though it is not on the list of protected pages.

I'm sure the article existed. I've read it before (which is why the change to the talk page was showing up in my Watchlist today), and there was even a debate on the talk page about including some content from an external Web site (possibly here, but I'm not certain), which the author of said site wanted to include.

Although they (131.247.156.94 [sar94.resnet.usf.edu]) made POV edits, they do not seem similar to JoeM to me. Maximus Rex 02:36, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)
You're right, we don't have enought evidence for a ban just yet, but we still need to keep an eye on him/her just in case. If this user's not JoeM, it's a big coincidence that you have another user writing about marijuana usage in the Jean Chretien article while adding emotive language in Communist-related articles. Leftwing dictators attract hard-core POV all the time (from both left and right); JoeM is not unique in that regard. But Chretien and marijuana! That's a far more obscure topic!. Don't ban, just keep watching. 172 04:04, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC)~

137.94.11.222 / 205.189.49.40

is consistently vandalising Indian independence movement and Subash Chandra Bose with his PoV. The user seems to be ignorant of the usage of his/the article's talk page, and never reads the edit summaries. He has not responded to any request to consider rephrasing or properly substantiating his claims.

He sometimes blanks the article page to post his comments and has consistently in the past used (and has been warned for using) copyrighted material for presenting his case. A case in point is his repeated insistence in adding Swami Vivekananda to the list of Indian freedom leaders, and his blanking the contents of Subash Chandra Bose in the past (Without any substantial evidence, that would at least make it a NPOV dispute and could be dealt with)

There seems to be no way we can communicate to this user and reach a compromise. The user has not made any other worthwhile contribution to wikipedia. I advocate banning this user's IP address. chance 09:15, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)

  • A consistent vandal, comes back almost everyday to make the same changes. Also has used the IP 205.189.49.40 . Has been vandalising regularly since 17 Nov, the latest being 5 Dec. Is exploring and moving on to newer pages. Jay 22:10, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • 205.189.49.40 has been vandalising Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in the pattern same as above. Requires immediate blocking. Jay 08:23, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • I see 4 acts of vandalism over 24 hours - how does this "require immediate blocking?" -- Pakaran 08:26, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • I don't know. But, 137. shows no signs of tiring. He may not be a vandal who believes in blitzkrieg attacks, but as can be seen from his yesterday's edit in the Indian independence movement page he is madly persistent - saying the same things all over again, and my, what a nauseating plagiarist he is! This fellow cannot even bring himself up to defend what he says, with a few words of his own. I am sick of this attitude. I bet he is waiting for us to tire of him, and let him do all he wants, however stupid that may sound. If this is not persistent vandalism, what is? Something has to be done about this. Maybe a protection request for the pages, and not allow others edit? To protect the articles from one single person? chance 08:44, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)
        • 137's contribution for 9th Dec was the vandalising of Mahatma Gandhi. Protection of pages won't help as there's no dearth of articles for him to play with. Maybe ban the two IPs and check if he comes up with new ones. Jay 09:12, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • The requests of non-anonymous users who have clearly been investing a lot of time undoing the damage of an anonymous user should be honored as soon as possible. Peak 08:48, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • 137's at it again (on Indian independence movement! Grrrr. The 137.* address is registered to Royal Military College, Ontario, so we'll have to keep an eye out for Good Guys who get banned too. The other address is an ISP. Could someone please block this guy? Gaurav 17:47, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • And.... (Is it me who is getting annoyingly repetitive :-) ? )... again on Dec 12 in the articles, Indian independence movement and Swami Vivekananda. Seriously, when does a user get banned? How more serious should it be than this? One user who has done nothing to wikipedia for the last one month, except defacing the same set of articles still lurks around, quite freely. I would appreciate if some sysop takes note of this and suggest what should be done. It has been nearly two weeks, and nobody seems willing to check this user :-( chance 05:22, Dec 15, 2003 (UTC)

137.94.11.222 has been blocked. --mav 05:36, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

No longer blocked and he is back with his antics again in Indian independence movement. Has he been removed from Blocked IPs? I dont see the IP there. chance 04:55, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)
137.94.11.222 is still at it. Hadal 20:22, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
137.94.11.222 still vandalizing Wikipedia as of 9 Feb 2004. Ban his IP, at least. Connelly 08:10, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Repeated Vandalism by 12.64.etc/12.65.etc

Over a long period of time several hoaxes have been added to Wikipedia from these IP ranges. Many of these hoax articles seem perfectly reasonable at first glance, often mixing facts in with the fiction. One of their favorite targets seems to be LeAnn Rimes. Some have been in concert with User:199.248.201.253. I am not sure if they are from the same user, but they appear to be. Examples (very incomplete):

I am posting it here so that hopefully more people will see this. --Maximus Rex 08:17, 20 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Someone needs to put this entire class C network on permanent ban. Repeated vandalism, all the same style, also many deleted pages that were hoaxes. First, the IPs that have histories (I checked every IP on the subnet). Daniel Quinlan 20:45, Dec 11, 2003 (UTC)

add to the mix these pages which are deleted (or not, someone is restoring them against policy to delete obvious vandalism)

User:210.68.149.241

Can someone sort out what he has put on, also how has an anonymous user slipped through the net on four occasions?

User:Anthony DiPierro

This user continue to try to vandalize the Al Gore page by removing pictures that have been uploaded by me. He did this about a month ago, and proved nothing. He does this for attention and to be a troll. User:ChrisDJackson

User:198.208.6.35

This user has repeatedly posted the same POV (and inflammatory) commentary on the James Randi article over the past several days; eight times in a row it has had to be reverted. Is this enough to authorize blocking that user? --Modemac 00:36, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)

This same IP address (198.208.6.35) is still re-inserting inappropriate text into the James Randi article, and has not responded to requests to reply on the talk pages for either the article or his own talk page. He is being blocked for vandalism. --Modemac 17:37, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

GameFAQs

Lots of vandalism from multiple IPs. Perhaps a message board all attacking the site.
