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.

This section is for pages that are the targets of persistent vandalism by multiple users (anonymous and/or logged in).

CBC

Falsely accused of vandalism of CBC Radio 1 and CBC Radio 2 schedules. I am not sure if the CBC (no relation to CBS) is a true article? Unknown Person 17 Aug 2005, 11:46 (UTC)

Xavier School

This has been heavily vandalised over the last few days (and weeks) by anonymous IP addresses, and some is continuing at this moment. I shall revert it to the last good version I can find once they get bored for now but it needs keeping an eye on. Don't these people have anything better to do? Ben W Bell 10:49, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Two people are continuing to vandalise this page, can we get an admin in here to revert it to mine or Func's version and then lock it? Ben W Bell 10:56, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wiki cheese-ology

Some anon or group of anons have created this category and added many pages to it. Most of the pages contain nothing but the categorisation, but some genuine articles have been added to. I've got to go, so can't cleanup myself.-gadfium 00:46, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Anus

This page has been repeatedly vandalized over the last few days by a number of link-spamming anonymous IPs. Needs keeping an eye on. --Kurt Shaped Box 21:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Counter-Strike

This page is being repeatedly vandalized by 82.153.109.156, 82.153.103.158, 207.5.192.239 et al. The first two appear to be the same person, since the last revision/blanking said something to the effect "since I was banned I changed my IP address" Kewp 09:22, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

An Introduction

This page, pretty much nonsense and other speediable junk has been created four times while I have been watching. Mostly by ips starting with 62.253.128, and two of them I know were .12 and .14, though I missed the others. -Goldom 23:22, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Since this page has been protected, the vandal is now working at "An Introduction". 62.252.96.12 has created the same page there now. -Goldom 23:37, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

FilePile

Various users, or sockpuppets, are removing information, adding nonsense, and making personal attacks in the article. Almost all of the vandals are recently created users who are also participating in the articles accompanying Vote for Deletion. One of the vandals has even attempted to obtain my password. Main culprits are User:Tranquileye, User:Flaunted, User:Aquafinal - Xed 22:10, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Christopher Walken

Anon IP deletions, apparently to hide claims that Walken's "2008 presidential campaign" is a fraud by "General Mayhem forums". (Interrupting reconstruction to leave this entry.)

DeviantART

I'm not sure if this is really vandalism, or if somebody just wants to engage me in a edit/revert war over the above article. Somebody (or some people; I'm assuming the former) in the IP address range 151.44.*.* keeps adding false accusations against Scott Jarkoff (founder of deviantART) and nonsense to the page; repeated requests on talk page, as well as reminder-comment on top of page and all affected sections have been completely ignored and even mocked at. Request for protection of the above article is already up, person(s) have been warned on the 151.44.123.254 talk page (his current IP address). I have already reverted the article three times in a space of 24 hours; three revert rule seems likely to be breached soon unless action is taken. A.K.R. 15:22, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

IP constantly removes external link. Father Howabout1 Talk to me! 00:58, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

That's a content dispute, not vandalism. Some might regard your links as "link spamming", given that they're to a site with commercial advertising, and you've been placing them on many different pages; it's generally discouraged to add links to your own sites. *Dan* 01:02, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

Polish Plumber

User:62.52.34.208 changing the word advertisement to propaganda. I have invited him/her to explain why it is propaganda within the article, but he she refuses to do so. --TimPope 21:26, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I have told you several times. 62.52.34.208 22:01, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article has now been heavily vandalised by the same user. --TimPope 22:09, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

He came back two to three hours ago and started vandalizing again. Suggest immediate action, as he shows no signs of confusion or remorse; he's clearly just being malicious. --Shackleton 17:31, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
