IP addresses

Do not report obvious vandalism here; see Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Only report IP addresses that are engaged in complicated, deceptive vandalism that will require more than a few moments for an administrator to analyse. Please read the policies, guidelines, and procedures before reporting.

* {{vandal|User_name}} -- Brief Description // ~~~~

Usernames are case sensitive and please note that spaces in usernames need to be replaced by underscores (as shown in the example above).

• Template:Vandal -- User is blocked for advertising. Using multiple sock puppets to get around the block as well as to violate the 3RR. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 19:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Vandal -- I suspect this user is part of the multiple IP vandalism efforts from IP space 80.47.*.* that is vandalizing the Scientology related articles. The two images uploaded by this user are both recently used by the persistent vandals from 80.47.*.* to vandalize the Scientology and David Miscavige articles among many others. Please check out the edit histories of those two articles. Note this user has only made one other edit, which was also vandalism to a Scientology-related article // Vivaldi (talk) 18:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Vandal -- as reported below, Mines45 has frequently made controversial edits without using discussions pages or even edit summaries. Despite warnings, one from an administrator, Mines45 has continued to act in this fashion. Mines45 has also removed all warnings from his or her talk page. This has gone on for months now; will an administrator please take some action beyond handing out warnings that are clearly ignored? McPhail 18:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Vandal -- suspected to be using sockpuppets Template:Vandal and Template:Vandal for POV-pushing on article UCR. See Evidence and basic info, since this description here is supposed to be brief. // –Tifego^(t) _{04:48, 19 April 2006 (UTC)}
  • Great case against 909er that I support, but HisBundleAblation has only made two talk edits in this entire history as a registered user. --Zsinj^Talk 02:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
    • I updated the evidence page. Note that I'm not asking anything be done about HisBundleAblation as things currently stand, simply making it clear that he is probably a sockpuppet in case he goes any further. –Tifego^(t) _{22:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)}

• Template:Vandal. He's made slews of vandalous redirects to Augusta, Georgia (under other usernames, too, but I can't see them). Could someone block him (maybe), or at least speedy all the harmful redirects? Thanks. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 22:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
  • All vandalous redirects to the article have been deleted or tagged for speedy deletion. --Zsinj^Talk 01:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Vandal. OutRider2003 has on four occasions removed a free image from the Dalip Singh page and replaced it with a copyrighted image that claims fair use "in the absence of a free alternative". My arguments against this course of action have been somewhat flippantly rebuffed, with OutRider2003 erasing my comments from his talk page. I have warned him that his actions verge on vandalism but this does not appear to have deterred him. McPhail 21:12, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Filed 3RR report on the Administrator's Noticeboard here. --Zsinj^Talk 18:02, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
    • This person seems to be blanking everything someone says on their talk page immediately after they put it there. Chuck 16:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Vandal Has not stoped with the sneaky vandalism and contiunes to do it. It can be seen here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Winter_War&diff=48249693&oldid=48249392 and here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Berlin&diff=48270580&oldid=48226180. He contiunes with his sneaky vandalism. He alters numbers without stateing any sources and removes key paragraphs. He has done so far all his time in wiki and it does not look like he will stop any time soon. If there is any doubt about him beeing a sneaky vandal then I can post all the times he has done it. He also often ignores the talk pages and almost never responds to them. (Deng 15:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC))

• Template:Vandal. Mines45 has targeted several professional wrestling articles, most frequently Amy Dumas. Despite opposition, Mines45 has continually reverted to a version that contains misspellings and other errors. Mines45 has yet to provide a single edit summary in over four months of editing, and has not responded to several messages left on his or her talk page. Mines45 is dogmatically restoring his or her own edits despite opposition and refuses to justify these edits. McPhail 14:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Followed up with a message on the user's talk page. --Zsinj^Talk 15:48, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Mines45 has resumed editing the pages in question, again without edit summaries or use of the talk page. McPhail 15:25, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Vandal --Continual removal of information on Bernie Sanders article, claiming "it makes Sanders look bad" or "Its POV", despite that fact that verified sources are used to confirm accuracy of information. I have asked him to stop removing information or to add his own if he feels its' appropriate, but he insists, and has threatened my restoration of this information will result in my banning. He further claims that these edits are a "personal attack". This user has a history of similar incidents with other users. User:71.161.193.55 1:46 PM, April 11, 2006 (EST)

Under investigation

• Template:Vandal -- UK MP removing lots of data on other MPs. This sort of behaviour was reported in the press a few weeks ago and should probably be stopped? // User:Firien § 09:45, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

• Template:Vandal -- User has vandalised {{Totally disputed}} tag of the Jehovah in the New Testament article several times this past week. Despite all efforts to start a civil dialogue (including a warning and several pleas) with the user he continues to remove the dispute tag. I have comprehensively outlined the situation and nature of the dispute in this edit on that articles talk page. If this is not the appropriate venue for this particular dispute, please review the above linked to summary and point me to where I can take this. Duffer 06:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
  • See dispute resolution. The disputed tag is currently in place on the article. Petros471 14:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
