This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. You can report vandalism, problematic users, or anything else that needs an administrator's intervention. Do not report child pornography or other potentially illegal content here; e-mail legal-reportswikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergencywikimedia.org.
Vandalism []	User problems []	Blocks and protections []	Other []
Report users for clear cases of vandalism. Block requests for any other reason should be reported to the blocks and protections noticeboard.	Report disputes with users that require administrator assistance. Further steps are listed at resolve disputes.	Reports that do not suit the vandalism noticeboard may be reported here. Requests for page protection/unprotection could also be requested here.	Other reports that require administrator assistance which do not fit in any of the previous three noticeboards may be reported here. Requests for history merging or splitting should be filed at COM:HMS.

Kreditdana

User: Kreditdana (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Spam XReport --MathXplore (talk) 12:32, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Account is globally locked, spam is deleted. Taivo (talk) 08:47, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Judokos

User: Judokos (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: uploading multiple times and repeated obvious copy violation material, see notes on user discussion page Alabasterstein (talk) 07:39, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done. I blocked Judokos for a year. Taivo (talk) 08:51, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Quick1984

Quick1984 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user Speedy deletion nominations of obviously PD files (1900-1914 Russia photos) 95.70.100.173 12:35, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

This probably is a retaliation request from a blocked user. Three files, uploaded by user:TolyastarRUSSIAz as 'own works', unsourced and licensed under cc-by-sa-4.0, were tagged by me among many others to clarify their real copyright status. Quick1984 (talk) 13:33, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I warned TolyastarRUSSIAz, and blocked the IP. TolyastarRUSSIAz should be blocked if this reoccurs. Yann (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry, at that time I had just joined the Wikipedia community and did not know how to properly issue licenses. I'll fix everything within a week. TolyastarRUSSIAz (talk) 19:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism  Mohammed Qays  🗣 18:52, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Deadball1

User: Deadball1 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Puppet account of SelfStarter2, pushing biased narratives. Shamrockwikiedit (talk) 06:43, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done. I blocked Deadball indefinitely and will revert something. Taivo (talk) 09:52, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Fipofi

User: Fipofi (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Uploads files intended for personal attack.
Nemoralis (talk) 11:37, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Solomonlhu

User: Solomonlhu (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: See [1]. This user was blocked for vandalism, and it continues to vandalise the same page after the period has expired. A permanent or longer block is needed. 源義信 (talk) 13:51, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Nam Việt Pro

User: Nam Việt Pro (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Pure vandalism account, randomly adding the template "No permission since" to files ([2], [3], [4]). Most likely the same person as 14.236.170.225, 14.254.242.137. I suggest that the user be permanently blocked. 源義信 (talk) 15:58, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

From the editing history of the vandalised pages, this user seems to be a sockpuppet of Lucyspears.

This paragraph has been deleted by user Nam Việt Pro once: [5] 源義信 (talk) 16:04, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

This paragraph was deleted by IP user 14.254.247.219, this IP user should also be blocked. 源義信 (talk) 16:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

 Blocked by @Elcobbola All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 23:41, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

علم قبيلة

User: علم قبيلة (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

Dima2511000

User: Dima2511000 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: uploading multiple times and repeated obvious copy violation material, see notes on user discussion page Alabasterstein (talk) 09:35, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Already globally locked. Multiple uploads are nominated for deletion. I deleted speedily 2 empty categories and 1 orphaned talkpage. Taivo (talk) 17:49, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

200.39.139.14

User: 200.39.139.14 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: [6] Personal attacks, since months, because we didn't agree about a DR. They asked for a longer time on a DR, I did. Than they nominated that file again and again (I said: this looks like vandalism, since then he/she attacks me), and later an administrator kept the file. Still angry. Can this person be blocked for a long time? I can't please everybody, and I'm getting tired of this. Thanks! - Inertia6084 (talk) (talk) 20:05, 27 September 2024 (UTC) Inertia6084 (talk) (talk) 20:05, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
