Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentsHeader

Welcome to the incident noticeboard. This page is for reporting and discussing incidents on the English Wikipedia that require the intervention of administrators. Any user of Wikipedia may post here.

Please keep your comments civil and please include diffs to help us find the problem you are reporting. As a courtesy, you should inform other users if they are mentioned in a posting (you may use the {{ANI-notice}} template to do so). Please make your comments concise. Administrators are less likely to pay attention to long diatribes. Please use neutral section titles that identify the user(s) or article(s) involved, as appropriate.

Before posting a grievance about a user here, it is advised that you take it up with them on their user talk page.

• To report persistent vandalism or spamming, see administrator intervention against vandalism.
• To report impolite, uncivil, or difficult communications with other editors, see wikiquette alerts.
• To report improper deletion or request undeletion, see deletion review.
• To report improper usernames, see usernames for administrator attention.
• To report edit warring, see the administrators' 3RR noticeboard.
• To report long time edit warring/abuse, see Long term abuse
• To report suspected sockpuppetry, see suspected sock puppets.
• To request permanent deletion of dangerous personal information, see requests for oversight. DO NOT make such requests here; reports on this page are visible to everyone.

• Please add new incident reports to the bottom of this page.
• Sign your post with "~~~~", which translates into a signature and a time stamp automatically.
• When moving long threads to a subpage, add a link to the subpage and sign without a timestamp: "~~~"; this prevents premature archiving. Move to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/{{Name of ANI Topic}}. Also consider adding/updating a status tag (e.g. {{unresolved}}).
• Lengthy posts may be placed within a toggling collapse box. Use {{subst:Collapse top}} at the top and {{subst:Collapse bottom}} at the bottom.
• Threads will be archived automatically after a period of inactivity. If you see a thread that should not be archived yet, please add a comment requesting more discussion.

This page is not part of our dispute resolution process. If you want to discuss the possible misuse of administrative powers, you can do so here. However this is not the Wikipedia complaints department. If your problem concerns a content issue and does not need the attention of administrators, please follow the steps in dispute resolution.
