Vandals, on Wikipedia, are people who ruin pages on purpose. If you see a vandal, list them here!

People who vandalise a lot can be stopped from editing. In the case of large levels of vandalism (like a vandal bot), please tell a developer.

You can remove vandalism by reverting a page. A lot of vandals will stop by simply putting a message warning them on their talk page. If it is just a user test, just putting {{test}} or {{subst:test}} on their talk page will do. You can also use {{stopvandal}} if they are vandalising and haven't stopped after using {{test}}.

To better assist administators, please use the {{vandal}} template on this page:

Example:

New vandals are at the top

For administrators and users who are interested

There are two Wikipedias in English: Simple English (Here) and English (here). Sometimes, vandals from the English Wikipedia will come to the Simple English Wikipedia to vandalise.

Thank you for you action. May I suggest to be little bit more drastic with "vandal-only" account, specially if they seem to be sharing a plot? BTW a Checkuser request on meta and a class temporary protection could be quite discouraging. --M7 23:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Increased block time to infinite; look at their edits, and see personal attacks. We cannot tolerate that. -- Eptalon 23:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Blocked by Archer7 -- Eptalon 13:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
This guy's edits are a mix of good-faith and bad-faith. I'll leave him alone for now, but I'll keep a very sharp eye on him. PullToOpen Talk 00:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
No block for block evasion? J Di 00:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
He's on the way to a block anyways. PullToOpen Talk 00:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

A school class? --M7 16:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Blocked for one day, at the moment; given that this seems to be a repeat offender, the length of the block needs to be reviewed. -- Eptalon 10:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Block time updated to two weeks (previous was a week, repeat offender) -- Eptalon 11:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

October 2006

  • Keep an eye on volcano and various articles mentioned on this 4chan thread since that site is a regular source of wiki vandals.
  • ForestH2's sockpuppet, 66.233.247.12, creates blogs like User:ForestH2/blog. Watch out for IPs from the same network.
    • I don't think it is ForestH2. Looking at the deleted edits it looks like a vandal impersonator. Archer7 - talk 12:04, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
