Extensively vandalised by an account and an IP (presumably the same person). Neither has any other edits.--Abramsky (talk) 12:49, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- I reverted subsequent vandalism and sent user warnings. If this continues there will be blocks. ~ Ningauble (talk) 14:21, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
- The IP is still at it! [1]--Abramsky (talk) 13:14, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Nonsense articles
[edit]Several nonsense articles have been created by IPs 46.60.252.65 and 46.183.196.122. I have flagged them.--Abramsky (talk) 12:44, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- Done - I've deleted said articles. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:09, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
Vandal Mukburger 3
[edit]Mukburger 3 (talk • contribs • global edits • page moves • block user • block log) really needs to be banned. ~ Daniel Tomé (talk) 00:03, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Globally locked by the steward User:Tegel. Sock locked, IP globally blocked (also by Tegel). PiRSquared17 (talk) 00:35, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
IP 74.131.177.233
[edit]74.131.177.233 keeps creating nonsense pages and stated that he just wants to "vandalize wiki quote". His IP needs to be blocked. ~ Daniel Tomé (talk) 23:02, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
- Globally locked by the steward PeterSymonds, see also here. -- Mdd (talk) 00:03, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- FYI, there are significant technical and practical differences between a "global lock" on an named account and a "global block" on an IP address. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:10, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks my mistake, there is a global block on the ip-adress (for 31 hours, see also here). -- Mdd (talk) 15:23, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

IP 98.113.238.84
[edit]Repeatedly replaces pages with nonsense.--Abramsky (talk) 20:47, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

- Thanks, I gave a last warning -- Mdd (talk) 20:50, 8 April 2013 (UTC) PS On 5 April 2013 I already blocked this anonymous users for 3 days.
- This is a recuring pattern of vandalism that has been going on for a couple years. I generally block the IP for a month, on sight and without warning. This "Broadway vandal" seldom uses the same IP address for very long, but blocks do seem to give temporary relief. ~ Ningauble (talk) 23:05, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
- Done Ok thanks. after new vandalism I have blocked this ip adress for a month. -- Mdd (talk) 10:39, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

IP 207.181.250.210
[edit]- altered a quote critical of the Templeton Foundation and Martin Rees. Any future edits they make should be scrutinized. ~ Robin Lionheart (talk) 10:39, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
- The activity appears to have abated for now. -- Mdd (talk) 10:56, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
- When I first attempted to clean this up I failed to notice that the IP not only elided half of a sentence, but subsequently changed some of the words. I apologize for creating unnecessary confusion. ~ Ningauble (talk) 13:41, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
IP 166.147.123.17
[edit]- Goldenburg111 20:37, 21 January 2014 (UTC This IP is out of control. He called me a white trash American and a Fucker, and after a last warning. He has been reverting my edits. Please block quickly. --~~
- Done - sorry I had stepped away for a bit for work. ~ UDScott (talk) 20:48, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- please disable talk page access. --~~Goldenburg111 21:18, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back page. AdamDeanHall (talk) 15:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
This user keeps removing the lines I added on the- I could be mistaken, but this appears to be no ordinary vandalism, but a difference of opinion. In this case you should first try to discuss these things. -- Mdd (talk) 16:49, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I believe that AdamDeanHall is correct - the changing (or sometimes removal) of lines of dialogue from the film appear to be incorrect. I believe that the version of the lines that AdamDeanHall is trying to preserve are the right ones. ~ UDScott (talk) 16:59, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- I've undone the changes and semi-protected the page. ~ UDScott (talk) 17:01, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks UDScott, could you check the other contributions as well, which might be just as doubtful. -- Mdd (talk) 19:11, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace page and replaced them with new unapproved quotes. AdamDeanHall (talk) 21:23, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Repeated vandalism to Chinese proverbs. --Ixfd64 (talk) 17:26, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- Done. It appears to have been a one-day spree, so I just placed a short term block on the IP. ~ Ningauble (talk) 16:43, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- 46.118.157.17 (talk • contribs • global edits • page moves • block user • block log) - appears to be a spambot. --Ixfd64 (talk) 19:11, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
- Blocked. ~ Ningauble (talk) 12:50, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
This appears to be a persistent and recurring vandal, who has used various names and IPs and should be blocked rapidly. ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡
