===Vandal and username thief "Linuxbeak"===
There is a widespread vandal at work on wikipedia, who has been reported before and needs to be dealt with promptly, using the name "Linuxbeak". He is not [[:en:User:Linuxbeak]], but has been reported there several times (see [[:en:User_talk:Linuxbeak/Archive2#Vandal_at_Memory_Alpha|this]] for example)
He is active on English wp (see [[:en:Special:Listusers]]), Abkhaz wp ([[:ab:User:Linuxbeak]]), Afrikaans wp ([[:af:Gebruikerbespreking:Linuxbeak]]), and has been reported at sr: and cs: ([[:en:User:Linuxbeak#Someone took your username on sr:]]). I'm sure he's reared his ugly beak on other wikis. I mentioned the vandalism on ab: to the administrator there when he first appeared, but nothing has been done there. This guy seems to be really persistent, and if possible needs to be permanently blocked from every wiki project. --[[User:Chamdarae|Chamdarae]] 18:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Revision as of 18:21, 18 September 2005

If you spot vandalism on a Wikimedia wiki that has no administrators and you think action needs to be taken against the vandal, please report it here so that a steward can do something about it. If you can fix the problem by editing the page, please do that instead. Only serious cases of prolonged vandalism, or vandalism across multiple wikis, needs to be reported. One-off cases usually do not.

For pages that need to be deleted, see multilingual speedy deletions.

ExampleUser

ExampleUser is blanking pages on aa, bo, ee, and possibly other Wiktionaries. See wikt:aa:Special:Contributions/ExampleUser. GoodUser 03:10, 3 Aug 2006 (UTC)

I have blocked this user for 24 hours on those wikis. Please let me know if you see ExampleUser vandalizing anywhere else. StewardPerson 03:25, 3 Aug 2006 (UTC)


Add new vandal here

{{{SITENAME}}} is Communism

{{{SITENAME}}} is Communism is a cross-project slogan vandal who vandalizes articles and user pages, typically inserting an inlined Hammer-and-Sickle image captioned with a slogan like "{{{SITENAME}}} is Communism!"

Willy on Wheels

Willy on Wheels is a high-speed page move vandal whose modus operandi consists of creating an account (often containing the words "Willy on Wheels" or some permutation thereof) and moving a series of random pages to different titles, often appending some nonsensical phrase to the real title (e.g. Mr. Anstruther to Mr. Anstruther on Wheels!).

The Pelican Shit/Ass Pus/Bugger/Bluxo vandal is (are) supposed to be identical with WoW, although the PS/AP vandal denies it. [1]

Insulting Username

Hi, there is a very insulting username on ku: [2] It means "The Guerilla that is f**king Erdal Ronahi". Erdal Ronahi is me. The accond has been created with the only purpose to insult me. No edits have been made ever. Some other users asked me to get the account deleted. Would be nice if someone could do something about it.

I had requested this a few months ago, then you said, if it is not vital, let's leave it. Well, it is very insulting and should be removed. --Erdal Ronahi 11:49, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm in favour of this. It is both "potentially confusing", and has a swear word. -- user:zanimum

Vandal and username thief "Linuxbeak"

There is a widespread vandal at work on wikipedia, who has been reported before and needs to be dealt with promptly, using the name "Linuxbeak". He is not en:User:Linuxbeak, but has been reported there several times (see this for example) He is active on English wp (see en:Special:Listusers), Abkhaz wp (ab:User:Linuxbeak), Afrikaans wp (af:Gebruikerbespreking:Linuxbeak), and has been reported at sr: and cs: (en:User:Linuxbeak#Someone took your username on sr:). I'm sure he's reared his ugly beak on other wikis. I mentioned the vandalism on ab: to the administrator there when he first appeared, but nothing has been done there. This guy seems to be really persistent, and if possible needs to be permanently blocked from every wiki project. --Chamdarae 18:21, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Editing other users home pages.

This user User:Zanimum has taken to editing my talk page, to reflect his rather biggoted point of view. I think they should be banned from editing for several months.--JIrate 14:13, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can you present an existing rule on any of the Wikimedia projects prohibiting the editing of other's talk pages? Jirate (who is a banned user on Wikipedia English) has been deleting his comments from an archived VfD vote, on his talk page, I've merely been reverting it to its actual historic format. -- user:zanimum

Stalin quotes removed or vandalized?

Someone from the IP address 68.121.32.170 has edited the Joseph Stalin quotes, removing every attributed one on the page. An investigation of the history of the page indicates that they were deleted and replaced with "123". See page.

You needn't to report vandalism on a particular wiki; ask a help or notice on q:WQ:VIP. Thank you. Aphaia++ 20:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
