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-reports@wikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergency@wikimedia.org.

User:Yodchaibn

Please consider blocking Yodchaibn (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) for being a sockpuppet of Yothaland (talk · contribs) & Aommyabrina (talk · contribs). Thank you so much. -- Librovore (talk) 08:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. Master and both sockpuppets are indefinitely blocked. I mass deleted all uploads of sockpuppets. Taivo (talk) 10:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Three images of Buenos Aires

These three images have been the subject of repeated nonsense deletion requests by single-purpose accounts; the most recent attempts have just been readding deletion templates referring to already closed requests. Can these file description pages be semiprotected to prevent further spurious requests? Omphalographer (talk) 01:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. This is ridiculous. Will do. - Jmabel ! talk 05:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All set to "autoconfirmed" for 3 months. Clearly not the CSAM that was being alleged for the first two, and clearly displaying exactly what it says it displays for the third (the name-migrating vandal claimed it does not display the place it says, but it's easily confirmed, it's a much-photographed building). - Jmabel ! talk 05:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:I have "cousins"

Please block the user I have "cousins" for being a vandalism-only account, having been blocked on both the English and French Wikipedia for persistent vandalism of articles. Wheatley2 (talk) 07:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done @Wheatley2, no local block is warranted. If they are doing cross-wiki spam and vandalism, it should be reported on Meta-Wiki. Nothing to do here. They haven't done anything here. Regards, Aafi (talk) 07:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Firnanda.Reena

Already blocked three times for uploading copyrighted images. User had an unblock declined in 2019 in which they explained that the copyvios they'd uploaded were "free pictures" from a website, and they still seem to take that view of internet content, yesterday they uploaded File:Dr. Lisa Damour.png with a source of I found this on Lisa Damour's Facebook Page. (it's a screengrab of https://www.facebook.com/lisadamourphd/videos/495034203226507 and is in no way freely licenced). Belbury (talk) 16:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Indef. this time, and Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Firnanda.Reena‎. Yann (talk) 16:30, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protect two files

Please semi-protect these two filenames because of persistant sockpuppetry/recreation. Jonteemil (talk) 09:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Semi-protected. Yann (talk) 09:36, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:SubGeniusViciousBruckmanAshleyKankerThirtyacreEvieFerrisChelseaAlisonCandyVeronica

Vandalism-only account. (Goodness, what a mouthful.) Omphalographer (talk) 01:12, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The last time I had filed a CU case, it was because I knew that there was a sock from the original user. - THV | ♂ | U | T - 01:15, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done. Indefinitely blocked as sockpuppet. Edits are reverted. Taivo (talk) 08:32, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Omphalographer: Also locked.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:56, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Phngnh

Had been blocked last month, the user continued to upload unfree files. 0x0a (talk) 18:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Blocked for a month. -- CptViraj (talk) 19:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Flag_of_Brazil.svg

Please add Upload protection. There seems to be an endless revert war going on. Enhancing999 (talk) 02:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
