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] Vandal issues

Starting with the most recent vandals.

Sparsebluper (talk • contribs • logs • block log)

Has vandalized the Warrior Elite Kurzick armor and Warrior Kurzick armor many times. -- riyen ♥ 01:43, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Blocked – Emmett 01:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

194.44.18.83 (talk • contribs • logs • block log)

[About Me] was changed without permission to false information. -- riyen ♥ 22:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

If it's a sole incident and the user shows no signs of repeating his actions, there's really no point in blocking. Chances are he's gone and forgotten about it- I see no reason to issue a block at this time. – Emmett 00:56, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Vandalizing User:Backsword... plus has problems reading the big floating red box of doom on this page.--Fighterdoken 21:04, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Blocked. --Rainith 22:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Ariyen (talk • contribs • logs • block log)

Nuicense reverts of my edits. Backsword 11:56, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

She's been blocked the past 2 days and her contribution log doesn't show her reverting your edits. - Reanimated X 18:47, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

81.243.107.24 (talk • contribs • logs • block log)

Vandalism on Codx Areana Page and Notice adminboard Elephant 21:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Blocked. – Emmett 21:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Storybook

Continuous vandalism here:[1] even though Ariyen's note clearly does not reflect what Joe has confirmed here:[2]

This is not the first time that Ariyen insisted on wikilawyering and nitpicking on something that is clearly fine as is. Pika Fan 06:04, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

This has been noted on Joe's page. The vandalism started with Silver Edge, posting invalid and false information of which Pika Fan continued. It shall and should be settled by Joe, in which an admin should correct once he's posted an answer. -- riyen ♥ 06:10, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Multiple violations of reverting on the Storybook article between several users. Users are reverting as IP, and others aren't reverting (using undo) but are merely changing the text to reflect their own opinions (which is still reverting). Discussion is happening at User talk:Silver Edge#Re: Wrong_again originally moved from User talk:Ariyen. ~Celestia 06:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

You are all acting like children, and it needs to stop. The note that is on the page now is fine, as I have noted HERE where discussion SHOULD have taken place to begin with. Now just stop. -- Wyn talk 06:32, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Everyone who has violated Guild Wars Wiki:One-revert rule has been warned, and I have added a {{disputed}} tag to the notes section. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 09:03, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Related update - blocked Pika Fan (talk • contribs • logs • block log) and Ariyen (talk • contribs • logs • block log). -- pling 16:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

72.148.31.114 (talk • contribs • logs • block log) aka Ariyen (talk • contribs • logs • block log) is circumventing block here. --158.121.88.54 19:45, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Blocked. -- pling 20:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Talo Highpriest

Continuous removal and editing of others' comments from Regina's page and his own talk page, despite being warned. --★KOKUOU★ 05:55, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Damnit, I tried helping him with a warning and a link to Wyn's template nav, so maybe he'd be less antsy in that regard. --RIDDLE 06:55, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

I've explained that if he or she keeps vandalizing other people's posts, a ban is likely. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 07:39, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Please just DELETE me from your user database Talo Highpriest 09:03, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

The wiki software doesn't support account deletion, enjoy your block. When it expires, feel free to ask for a longer one. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 10:14, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Erm

Hello. I am giving you all a heads up on a mistake I just made. You all may know me as Jason (jonnieboi05) and I went on my brother's PC to edit a page on wiki and it was logged in as "Lena". Apparently he sent an email to Ms. Gaile Gray with that account and never logged it off. I am sincerely sorry. I take responsibility for it and letting you know this so you do not assume Lena was trying to circumvent his ban. Thanks! Lena 23:37, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

OMG!!! I forgot to log out. Sorry! -Jason 24.98.6.70 23:40, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh! I'm glad you cleared this up, I'll get right on to that unblocking you guys part. -Auron 06:42, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

'Neither' of you should be editing at all. That's what a "block" means - you're blocked from editing. -- pling 13:54, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] NPA, drama, etc

Someone is being trolled hard and falling for it. Obviously those two won't be able to sort it by themselves. Erasculio 21:38, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Various other users have chipped in, including Emmett. Seems a conclusion has been reached. -- pling 22:40, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Signet of Spirits

Constantly vandalized by various IPs. Semi-protect it maybe? - Reanimated X 08:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

The user has been warned by User:Fighterdoken and it seems to have stopped. I see no reason to protect the page. -- Wyn talk 08:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
