The Admin noticeboard is one way through which users can notify administrators of issues needing administrative attention. While users are welcome to directly contact specific administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one admin will notice an issue and respond to it promptly. Remember to sign when posting an issue.

Before posting an issue here, consider the following:

  • As this is a noticeboard and not a talk page, please refrain from discussing.
  • Post only issues that require administrative action, i.e. blocking vandals, protecting pages, restoring deleted pages etc.
  • Do not post deletion requests here. Deletion requests should be made by adding {{delete}} to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
  • Do not post issues regarding content disputes. Try making a request for comments instead.
  • Mediation requests between users should only be made if a resolution could not be reached between users.
  • For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority. Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion. Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason. Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning. Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.

Creating a new request — vandals
  1. Edit the Vandal issues section
  2. At the top of the list, use the {{vandal|IP address or username here}} template. Provide a short and neutral summary of the issue
Creating a new request — non-vandal cases (e.g. user issues, page protection/undeletion, etc.)
  1. Add a new section (+) to the page and enter an appropriate title (without using templates or links) in the subject field.
  2. In the edit field, enter a short and neutral summary of the issue. Use the {{user|ip address or username here}} template to refer to users involved with the case and provide links to important pages or edits.

As a sign of courtesy, also leave a message on the talk page of any involved user.

(EDIT) Oops, different IP address for previous vandalism I'd seen. So just one (recently) for this IP. I guess that's not going to result in a block based on the above. Sorry, still new at this wiki business. --[-Kyoshi-]::[-Talk-] 19:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I see no attempt made to contact the user regarding their edits; as they aren't blatantly offensive, could we try the polite method first please? Thanks. :) Go to Aiiane's Talk page (Aiiane - talk - contribs) 07:06, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Help:Ask an account question#Cant log in Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png Drogo Boffin 16:00, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Done. -- pling 16:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Exact user page copy

User:Anti Ajacied has copied my entire user page, without editing it. That includes leaving my name on it... He was recently blocked but that must be expired by now. I asked him to remove but he's not doing it..sooooo im posting it here. First time I do something with admind noticeboard so I hope im doing it right lol :) -- Magamdy 16:19, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

This was posted on the talk page I moved it here to make sure it gets the proper attention. Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png Drogo Boffin 16:28, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
Resolved itself. poke | talk 17:25, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page vandalism and harassment

User:98.150.161.251, User:72.148.31.114 and User:Ariyen keep vandalising my talk page. When I remove it they put it back and Ariyen has continued to harass me after being asked to stop. She has also vandalised my archive. Image:User DrogoBoffin sig icon.png Drogo Boffin 00:57, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Ariyen has been asked by Aiiane to stop. --Dominator Matrix 00:59, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
As per talk. And definition of Vandalism, it is not vandalism and should be archived, not removed. Just saying. -- File:User Ariyen sig icon.gifriyen ♥ 01:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] In relation to talkpage harassment by User:Ariyen

Harassment and drama on User:42's talkpage. Some excerpts include this. Pika Fan 03:03, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Blocked by Wyn. (By the way, can we start using the user template again?) -- pling 20:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] NPA

Cursed Angel (talk • contribs • logs • block log)

Violation of NPA here. Karate File:User Karate Jesus KJ for sig.png Jesus 19:57, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Can't see any overt NPA. Not the nicest response to a user ever, but still not NPA and we don't enforce a "lets all be nice to one another" policy. -- Salome 00:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
← moved to Guild Wars Wiki talk: Admin noticeboard

[edit] NPA

Karate Jesus (talk • contribs • logs • block log) against Regina here. It's almost to the point of reaching harassment, too (not that his contributions outside Regina's talk page have been that constructive. He has already been talked to about this behavior and soon after banned for it, but it persists. Erasculio 21:10, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Email

Gogogo! - J.P.Talk 04:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Seriously, posting email addresses as contact information is not something to be so concerned about. There are many, many guild pages that contain email addresses for contact. -- Wyn talk 04:16, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Oh, ok then. - J.P.Talk 04:20, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
