Current cross-wiki vandalism [edit]

Please place new reports at the top of this section. Thank you.

182.219.42.72 [edit]

cross-wiki linkspam: [1] --Se4598 (talk) 07:38, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Lezgistxa [edit]

User:Lezgistxa is a vandal banned from the Lezgi Wikipedia. He vandalized the article on Lezgi Language on various projects, replacing the alphabet written in Cyrillic by the alphabet he made up in Latin. (Lezgi is written in Cyrillic alphabet). On top of this, he often logs out and edits from IP, accusing other in vandalism or issuing threats.

Examples:

  • Lak Wikipedia: [2]; then vandalized my talk page (removed by a steward), today from IP: [3]
  • Chechen Wikipedia: [4] and further edit warring in this article;
  • Russian Wikipedia [5]; false accusations: [6]--Ymblanter (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

The best from my perspective would be a global lock; however, I do not know whether the activity of the user in the last half a year (only vandalism and threats) qualifies; if not, please make sure that his vandalism in Lak Wikipedia would be stopped (a block and/or a page protection); there are no administrators there, and I am the only regular user. Thank you in advance.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Katy Perry vandal [edit]

I am very new to this.

The user QuoteTheRavenHair [SULinfo] – [cross-wiki-contribs] has been cross vandalizing almost all of the Katy Perry articles, especially the Italian one. The user in question has been engaging in non-stop edit wars and even making sockpuppet accounts, (on the Italian wiki) to avoid a block and even using racial slurs. What can be done about this whole thing?


VelvetViolet4444 (talk) 12:08, 22 March 2013 (UTC)VelvetViolet4444

I can see that the user edits the Katy Perry and other female singer articles on multiple wikis. What I can't see is any that look like vandalism on the random sample of projects I looked at. If there is a problem on itwiki, that's for the local community to deal with. If the problem is wider we will need links / diffs to the problematic edits please QuiteUnusual TalkQu 14:23, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


Oh yes, of course. Here they are.

Italian wiki: [8]

Turkish wiki: [9]

Spanish wiki: [10]



VelvetViolet4444 (talk) 22:49, 29 March 2013 (UTC)VelvetViolet4444

Quotetheravenhair is an uncivil "professional editwarrior" with a childish attitude for compulsive revert and insults. I set an abusefilter on it.wiki which works quite fine, feel free to email me (if you are a sysop) to ask me to implement it on other wikis. --Vituzzu (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Amanbir Singh, 117.224.33.105 [edit]

[11][12][13][14][15] --Petrov Victor (talk) 13:27, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. He should probably be locked. I just reverted another. πr2 (t • c) 13:31, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Locked / IP gblocked for 3 days. --MF-W 14:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikquote [edit]

  • 74.131.177.233 [cross-wiki-contribs] — IP info — robtex — [gblock] is vandalizing the English Wikiquote. Could someone please block this ip-adress. -- Mdd (talk) 23:35, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
    • A global block might be useful, because this IP address has recently also been abused at the Simple English Wikipedia (see luxo:74.131.177.233). Anyway, I've requested a local block at the English Wikiquote. Thanks for your report, Mdd! Mathonius (talk) 23:39, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
      • The reason I have made this request here is, that there is no admin around right now. Yesterday User Mukburger 3 had a similar edit pattern, and I would like to prevent a similar escalation. Is it possible to block that ip address right now? -- Mdd (talk) 23:55, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

klmzmi.sbcglobal.net IP's [edit]

Makes lots of small edits over lots of wikis. Often removes internal linking (red links) (like this and this). Sometimes adds links to other wikipedias (en, simple, sv) like this, this, this and this). Is using the edit summary. Edits inline referneces by adding internal linking to them, or linking to some other wikipedia. Seems to have started on en.wikipedia, there is probably more IP's to be found by looking through the edit history of articles like en:Effect of climate change on plant biodiversity. --89.8.156.69 09:10, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

he-wp-user and IPs [edit]

I am Japanese-WP User. I want to report problem users. They(He) are Hebrew-wp User and Israel-IP Users. They are acting in many langueges Wiki-projects (include Ja-WP). They will continue to post articles of poor quality and in violation of the licensein with Machine translation!
I warned and protested to him in talk-page in He-wp, more than once[16]. But he did not listen. A another Ja-wp user submitted a request user-block[17], then he was blocked infinity in Ja-wp[18]. After that he was blocked in No- and Ru-Wp with same reason (In En-wp he was blocked other reason.).
But he is posting articles hidden with IP. Yesterday a article was posted[19], but it will be deleted soon[20].
I can not judge that is their act vandalism or not. But I want to stop the damage for wiki-project more. --Ashtray (talk) 13:53, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

User:213.122.172.214 [edit]

Has made many subtle vandalism edits over a period of months. Every single edit from this IP has been vandalism.http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/Special:Contributions/213.122.172.214 Lithopsian (talk) 19:27, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

I can't see any edits outside the English Wikipedia, so it's not considered as cross-wiki wandalism. And English Wikipedia has local administrators to deal with local issues. Report the issue on w:Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. -- Tegel (Talk) 19:37, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Stop vandalism Lezgi Wiki [edit]

Lock Lezghin Wikipedia administrator User:Migraghvi since it removes the page for no reason!!! FsF (talk) 12:38, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

FsF is additional account of user Lezgistxa who permanently blocked for vandalism in Lezgi Wikipedia.--Soul Train (talk) 14:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

User:Soument [edit]

This account has threatened to attack several wikis (in French here) since he's been blocked on fr.wikt:

  1. He began to place the French insult "con" on fr.wikt main page.
  2. Then he apologized and organized a false vote for him, and put this masquerade link on the main page.
  3. Then he blanked the fr.b main page.
  4. The fr.s one.
  5. The bat-smg.w one.

Thanks for your attention. JackPotte (talk) 21:03, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Today the account seems to have stopped. That's maybe due to his four blockings. JackPotte (talk) 09:01, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Leaving a note here that the account was globally locked. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 17:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
