The Administrators' noticeboard is intended to be a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention.

To make a request or statement, create a new section and provide a neutral, precise summary of events with thought-out reasoning, and, if possible, links to any pages with relevant discussions. It is also a good idea to notify any users involved with the request with a link to the section on this page. Make sure to add new sections to the bottom.

Report vandals and sockpuppets at the top of the appropriate section labeled for such reports using {{IP|Username}}, where Username is the name of the user or the IP vandal's IP address.

For reporting similar and unacceptable usernames, report them here instead of on this page. This is done to keep the reports in one place, and because unacceptable usernames can be more subjective (unlike vandal/spam accounts), which may necessitate discussion (which the linked page will be more suited to handle).

Vandal/spam account reports

51.75.147.44 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Vandalizing For Glory. Page has been a hot spot for vandalism recently. --CanvasK (talk) 22:55, March 25, 2021 (EDT)

The page has had 7 unique IPs vandalizing it over the past 3 days. May be good to protect it. --CanvasK (talk) 23:25, March 25, 2021 (EDT)

Seems more like a confused newcomer/kid than a bad-faith editor. I'd suggest a talk page heads-up to them rather than any kind of block. Miles (talk) 23:21, March 23, 2021 (EDT)

Ajs1989 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Ignoring repeated warnings about not adding strategy guide style text to articles.

Recommend this page is protected for a while, given that this is a recent controversy and a lot of IPs are making counter-productive (albeit good faith) edits. Black Vulpine of the 🦊Furry Nation🐺. Furries make the internets go! :3 16:34, March 3, 2021 (EST)

I think the issue is now resolved, if one more IP comes on and adds on with the nonconstructive edits, I'll the protect the page then. Omega Tyrant 17:10, March 3, 2021 (EST)

So far, the following have made the same bad faith edit adding the Sonic punch meme to his article: 68.116.118.90 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), 76.108.130.251 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), 107.77.237.83 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), Minepunch (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), 147.226.239.39 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS), 173.79.208.93 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) and 104.243.212.253 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS). Clearly, these people don't plan on stopping, so I think we need to make examples of them by giving them some kind of block. Alex the Weeb 11:30, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

At this point, I think it's a good idea to block IP editing on Sonic's general and SSBU pages until this whole thing dies down. SuperSmashTurtles of the Turtle Tribe 13:36, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

I second this. EDIT: Looking at it, it seems the general Sonic page is protected but his Ultimate page isn't. Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Gamer (talk) 19:11, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

173.79.208.93 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) just did the same thing again... S3AHAWK The Spooky One 16:24, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

To reiterate: these people are very clearly trolling and disrupting the Wiki. Some of them go as far as to brag about doing so on Twitter [1][2][3]. Trolling and disruption has been a blockable offense since before I even joined the Wiki, and it baffles me that we're not blocking any of these users or IPs... Alex the Weeb 19:28, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

68.116.118.90 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Vandalism, as evidenced by this (you'll have to click on the tweet to see the full thread, because Twitter links are weird). He probably wouldn't hesitate to do something like this again, which at a time like this really isn't what we need. Alex the Weeb 17:45, October 1, 2020 (EDT)

80.195.88.144 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) So this guy's back again...for the 4th time. As usual making nonsense edits and removing content. Alex the Weeb 10:26, September 28, 2020 (EDT)

Sockpuppet reports

109.149.59.206 (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Memoryman3 is actually editing clone pages (and Mythra's page, since she's kind of a clone of Pyra unlike Sheik/Zelda) once again after they were unprotected by the admins. Unprotecting all clone pages was a massive mistake, since Memoryman3 is surprisingly not completely gone despite seemingly being less active than he was in the past (and he is actually using sockpuppet accounts and anonymous IP addresses to edit pages). -Zakawer2 (talk) 10:04, March 24, 2021 (EDT)

BoltStrike (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) and IceBurn (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS). Both made roughly the bare minimum edits required to make a user page, both made their accounts within a day of each other, made their user pages within an hour of each other, user pages have similar styles, and they both made edits to Snake, ZSS, Olimar, and Jigglypuff pages. --CanvasK (talk) 22:42, March 15, 2021 (EDT)

Nice catch, ended up involving a user who didn't appear to be causing any trouble yet, and there was another sock found that hasn't gotten around to creating their userpage yet. Omega Tyrant 06:22, March 16, 2021 (EDT)

While we're at it, I highly suggest protecting the pages that were targeted by them, because honestly, having to constantly revert unnecessary bloat that keeps getting added back is getting ridiculous. SuperSmashTurtles of the Turtle Tribe 03:41, December 30, 2020 (EST)

I'd say it's high time for a range block. Omegα Toαd 20:39, September 12, 2020 (EDT)

Agree, what I'm meaning by circumventing a block, was the same guy got blocked for 3 months using a different IP in the same range. S3AHAWK (talk) 20:43, September 12, 2020 (EDT)

Same guy was range blocked 6 times on MarioWiki for the same bloat edits they keep doing here. I would suggest range blocking but allow account creation because it appears to only be IPs doing this. Omegα Toαd 21:31, September 12, 2020 (EDT)

We've done exactly that before here as well. It looks like we might have to do it again. Black Vulpine of the 🦊Furry Nation🐺. Furries make the internets go! :3 21:33, September 12, 2020 (EDT)
