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 at the top of the following section labeled for such reports at the 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

TheYoshiWorld (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log · WHOIS) Created a new account, very quickly made six new pages (including this). Put random tags on a bunch of those pages talk pages. Ryxis (talk) 05:03, 24 January 2014 (EST)

User page protection

Bowzerdude: User has only made 1 edit to the mainspace and stopped editing the mainspace after that.

YoshiEggs: Same reason as Bowzerdude.

Marioisawesome118 13:17, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

That's what I know. Marioisawesome118 14:06, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

protection and vandalism

If the IP can't stop vandalizing HolyNightmare, protected the page and block him. Dots The Hammer (bro) 16:28, 26 July 2012 (EDT)

Well protect the page temporarly if you need to. Dots The Hammer (bro) 16:34, 26 July 2012 (EDT)

Sockpuppetry

SmashPeter's back. His account is the last user account made. The username is very weird.--ShupaRoeh 13:52, 10 August 2012 (EDT)

I'm kinda new here, but I've been on Wikipedia, so I know wiki stuff-including sockpuppeting. The 2 accounts I suspect are Terrible is halloween and Terrible is thanksgiving. Reason: 1) the first 2 words of them are the same, 2) the last words of both are fall holidays, and 3) I noticed them both on a voting page; one was in the "support" section; the other was on the "comments" section but clearly showing support. What do you think about it? P.s. I don't have an account here. But ip address reporting is better than no reporting at all :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.81.63.168 (talk • contribs) 07:58, 17 December 2013 (EST)

You've been slightly confused. Both those comments were made by the user Terrible, who likes to change his signature to match the current time of year. They are not separate accounts. Toomai Glittershine The Irrepressible 09:53, 17 December 2013 (EST)

Deletion

Could an administrator please delete the two Mario pictures I just uploaded? I was attempting to update Mario's artwork. The picture looks fine on Mariowiki but for some reason the picture is all blurry here. I'm sorry if I'm being a bother. ChuckNorris 09:24, 1 September 2012 (EDT)

Instead of posting here, just add a deletion template to the images. In addition no deletion is necessary here, since any blurriness you were seeing was just a result of multiple things catching up to each other; uploading new versions of images can be slow to update correctly. Toomai Glittershine The Golden 09:34, 1 September 2012 (EDT)

Oh, sorry. I didn't know. ChuckNorris 10:09, 1 September 2012 (EDT)

User:BrawlerDude

This needs to be taken care of. Also, the pages need to be moved back to retain their edit history. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 03:11, 5 October 2012 (EDT)

User:16-get-fast-cash-loans-lenders

Just want to let you know there is another spam account. Brawls of fury (talk) 07:44, 3 December 2012 (EST)

This would have been okay in the vandals section instead of a new section; changed its title to reflect that. Toomai Glittershine The Riotous 12:33, 3 December 2012 (EST)

Problems

I have a problem with bullies on this wiki. The users that are bullys are, OmegaTyrant, Dots the StarCraft (his current name), Bandit, ToastUltramum, SuPaRoah, and Troomi Glittershine. They kept on yelling at me for “commenting on an old or resolved talk pages” or “forgetting to sign my comments”. Can you make them stop?Sandvich9 (talk) 10:31, 23 December 2012 (EST)

Congratulations for "reporting bullies" to the admin noticeboard. In case you haven't taken the time to read actual policy (which seems likely, considering that you seem to blatantly ignore SW:SIGN and SW:TALK), you'd know that you most people you reported are either rollbackers or admins, so you just complained about this to the exact same people you are reporting. And just so you know, enforcing policy is not in any way "bullying." In addition, your spelling and grammar is simply atrocious. Air Conditioner is on an insane rampage 10:41, 23 December 2012 (EST)

This UltraMum isn't a bully, we're simply enforcing policies so you can become a better user. If you can't take advice, and are offended this easily, you shouldn't be here. Toast ltimatum 10:43, 23 December 2012 (EST)

You seem to be confusing "bullies" with "the police". Toomai Glittershine The Incomprehensible 10:50, 23 December 2012 (EST)

I AM SORRY. WHY DO CARE IF I DONT HAVE PERFECT SPELLING OR GRAMMAR. SO WHAT IF I'M NOT AS SMART AS EVERYONE ELSE. I WANT YOU ALL TO STOP YELLING AT ME. I'VE HAD ENOUGH MISERY IN MY LIFE I DON'T WANT ANY MORE. YOU CAN HATE ANY USER YOU WANT BUT IT SEEMS YOU ARE ONLY TARGETING ME. SO LEAVE ME ALONE.Sandvich9 (talk) 11:05, 23 December 2012 (EST)

If you want to be left alone, then don't edit. Toomai Glittershine The Chronicler 11:09, 23 December 2012 (EST)

(edit conflict) We're not "only targeting you." We simply inform any users who have been violating policy. The people here are "targeting you" because of your repeated policy violations. It doesn't matter who it is that is violating policy. Even I've been blocked once, and do you see me acting like a big baby about it and calling Toomai a bully? No. Air Conditioner Who are you? 11:12, 23 December 2012 (EST)

I'd also like to know if this wiki has an age limit. I might leave this wiki if you tell me your age. If all of your ages are over 20 I will leave. I will tell my age first. I'm 11. Don't think I'm trying to hack anybody's system because if you remember my apology, I said I was forgetful.Sandvich9 (talk) 11:20, 23 December 2012 (EST)

Because even when you forget, you can't just look at this page again. But regardless, we trust you wouldn't hack us, you couldn't exactly do that with just an age. This wiki has no age limit, we've had people younger than you make accounts here before. Likewise, we judge everyone similarly no matter what their age is. I happen to be 16. The others can tell you their ages themselves. Toast ltimatum 11:24, 23 December 2012 (EST)

(edit conflict) This wiki has no age limit. For example, we have plenty of eleven-year-old users here. I myself happen to be fourteen. However, age is NOT in any way an excuse to violate policy, and if you think your age is going to give you an excuse to violate policy, you are completely incorrect. Air Conditioner Only a northern user. 11:26, 23 December 2012 (EST)

Well Sandvich9, maybe you can talk to users that are not bully about this, like me. The Awesome 11:38, 23 December 2012 (EST)

About this

The article needs to be moved to "Ledge-canceling" but I am not able to move it. Could an admin help? Thank you. F.T.B. (TALK) 17:51, 1 March 2013 (EST)

You don't have to be an admin to move pages, you just need to become autoconfirmed by having your account active for more than four days, and achieving 10 edits. You should be posting this on the article's talk page, by the way. Toast ltimatum 18:13, 1 March 2013 (EST)

Protection of future high-risk template

I made SSB4 (talk•edit•history), analogous to SSB (talk•edit•history), etc. If it's not too early to have it, it should be protected. - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 15:56, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Delete helplessness

To make way for moving helpless, per SW:MoS. - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 15:24, 16 June 2013 (EDT)

Move over redirect

Havok (company) should be moved to Havok, which is a redirect. - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 15:37, 23 June 2013 (EDT)

Could this also be done for moving On-Screen Appearance to On-screen appearance? DarkFox01goes on IRC. You should too. 17:34, 24 June 2013 (EDT)

Also, could this be done for QSM, which should be moved to Queensland Smash Mates?

In order to make this easier, could the ability to move pages over redirects be given to users of a certain status (e.g. rollback)? DarkFox01Emergency maneuvers! Get outta there! 19:52, 2 November 2013 (EDT)

Not possible, as the ability is not atomic; it's based on the page deletion ability. Toomai Glittershine The Chilled 22:27, 2 November 2013 (EDT)

Move pages with "(disambiguation)" to corresponding name without

Category talk:Disambiguation

There was a discussion on titling disambiguation pages, and it leaned towards the favourable convention being without the tag where not necessary. Would it be topical to move these pages back? - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 03:51, 16 July 2013 (EDT)

Move page.

Hammer Bro needs to be moved to over the redirect: Hammer Bro. because... well, because Mr Game & Watch and Super Smash Bros are redirects, right? So somebody should make the appropriate move for consistency. Green Mario 00:43, 17 February 2014 (EST)
