 Administrator intervention against vandalism
This page is intended for reports about obvious and persistent vandals and spammers only. Before posting here, please read the spam and vandalism pages, as well as the AIV guide. To submit a report, edit this page and follow the instructions at the top of the "User-reported" section. For other issues that require administrators, file an external request for administrator attention.

Important! Please remember the following:
  1. The edits of the reported user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.
  2. The user must have been given enough warnings to stop their disruptive behavior.
  3. The warnings must have been given recently and the users must be active now, especially for unregistered users.
  4. The appropriate vandal template should be used if you decide that a report should be filed.
    • For logged-in users only: It should look like: *{{vandal|Example user}} concise reason e.g. vandalised past 4th warning. ~~~~
    • For IP users only: it should look like: *{{IPvandal|127.0.0.1}} 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 go to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, as a bot automatically removes accounts here that are blocked.
  6. Reports of sockpuppetry should be made at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations unless the connection between the accounts is obvious and disruption is recent and ongoing.

Pictogram voting oppose.svg Declined. No warnings, no edits within the last few days, and the only recent edit is not vandalism. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:04, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Pictogram voting oppose.svg User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being warned sufficiently. Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:31, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Pictogram voting wait red.svg No edits since being warned. Re-report if this user continues vandalising or spamming after sufficient warnings. That first edit could have been an editing test, rather than vandalism. They've been warned for now, and there's not enough evidence for me at this time to block the account as a vandalism-only account. I would keep an eye on them instead.

Pictogram voting wait red.svg No vandalism since final warning. Re-report if this user resumes vandalising. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Note: I found his YT Gaming channel (same nick), and the user looks like an 7/8 y.o. kid. I could watch further contribus but, just to talk... My 2 cents: A so young person, that is IMHO using WP as a sort of extension of his childish fantasies (because he's a child) about wrestling, is in the right place? Due to age and to the kind of contribs, I don't think he has (now) the maturity to understand what is Wikipedia... But (IMHO), he seems to know how to (try to) mask a vandalism using the edit summary. Regards and sorry for the length of my note. --Dэя-Бøяg 00:06, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
