Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

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

WP:AIV

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!

The edits of the user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
Except for egregious cases, the user must have been given enough warning(s).
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.
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). ~~~~
Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should be made at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Reports of sockpuppetry should be made at Wikipedia: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.

27.55.93.62 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) – On LMS Stanier Class 8F (diff): Wondering if a range block is possible - user is hopping across IPs in the 27.55.xxx.xxx range, repeatedly adding invalid and unsourced parameters to steam locomotive articles (UK steam locomotives did not have a maximum speed per se).

Looking at a rather large block that hits some good faith users. Special:Contributions/27.55.64.0/19. Even a set of smaller ranges still hit good faith users. Izno (talk) 10:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, to avoid cluttering up AIV I'll move this to ANI to get a discussion going. Many thanks! Danners430 (talk) 10:23, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
