Current cross-wiki vandalism

Anti-Chinese vandal

My guess is that s/he became unhappy with some Chinese consumer electronics and started to attack the country, in the last two instances using w:Joe job. Topics: China (中文), flag of the United States. If warranted, I can submit more evidence that all four accounts represent the same person. Do not know his/her IP range because never saw this person editing as an IP; but if the range is narrow enough then it possibly should be globally soft-blocked. --Incnis Mrsi (talk) 07:36, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on Estonian Wikipedia [1] --Esteban16 (talk) 00:59, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If it is local, can this be handled locally? ET Wiki has a healthy amount of active Ops? --Jyothis (talk) 01:02, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea how to report it locally, that's why I'm here. The user is still vandalizing. Esteban16 (talk) 01:10, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Already blocked. Esteban16 (talk) 02:47, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bell Canada toroon4664w vandal

This cross-wiki vandal, who geolocates to Toronto, has a host name beginning toroon4664w and hops IPs in the ranges 70.31.124.0/22, 74.12.120.0/22, 184.146.204.0/22 and 184.147.28.0/22, was range blocked on en.wiki for one month from 13 February and also later globally range blocked until 00:00 14 March due to cross-wiki vandalism. Five minutes after the global blocks expired at 00.00, the vandal ran amok on en.wiki and I have reinstated range blocks on en.wiki, increasing these to two months. The vandal has taken their activities cross-wiki to 12 16 wikis. I recommend global blocks of at least one month for ranges 70.31.124.0/22, 74.12.120.0/22, 184.146.204.0/22 and 184.147.28.0/22 to protect all wikis. Pinging @NicoScribe, MarcoAurelio, and RadiX: who have previously had dealings with this vandal. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Malcolmxl5: thanks. At the moment, the 339 edits (in 16 projects) of 184.147.30.217 have been canceled (except in talk pages). --NicoScribe (talk) 12:05, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've blocked the ranges given by Malcolmxl5 for three months. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:30, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like our good friend Decker again. Currently only at astwiki (still posting there as I type this), but given past behavior may be at other wikis soon. - dcljr (talk) 23:28, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
