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.

Reason for reporting: Still uploading found military photos without permission and/or credit, some of which have been overlooked and which have falsely leaked out onto the web as CC licenced. User has already been blocked twice. Belbury (talk) 06:51, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Seems resistant to the idea of copyright sadly. Blocked again with a final warning too. I'm guessing some of the untagged images are copright but out of time for now. Herby ^{talk thyme} 07:20, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: obsessively changing the dates on File:Bombardier KD in Dublin.jpg. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 07:19, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

I've semi-protected File:Bombardier KD in Dublin.jpg. @Murgatroyd49: do you have any idea whether their other edits look like problems (in which case a block would be in order)? I don't know the subject matter area well enough to have any idea. - Jmabel ! talk 22:07, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

I've checked some of his other edits and he does seem to have a penchant for randomly changing dates and other details without explanation. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 06:48, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

 Done blocked for 3 months. @Murgatroyd49: is there any other follow-up that you can't or won't do yourself? - Jmabel ! talk 22:22, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Looks like Yann gave them a strong warning after this report; I'd say that should do for now, and if they continue along these lines then a block would be in order. - Jmabel ! talk 22:11, 1 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Repeated uploads of nonmedia content. XReport --All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 00:26, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

I do apologize if I uploaded non-media content. I uploaded some pictures of numbers to use for certain pages and thought that was allowed. If it is not, I will make sure to delete the images specified. For which pages is this for? InitialsKS (talk) 00:30, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

@InitialsKS: as far as I can tell, all of your uploads are simply text, and I'm about to delete them as such. If you happen, for some reason, to need to create a number written at a particular size you can do things like <font style="font-size:20px">6,000</font> which produces 6,000. You can even go for things like <font style="font-size:20px;color:red;font-family:serif">6,000</font> which produces 6,000. No image files needed.

 Not done Other than the deletions, I don't see any need for admin action here, but InitialsKS, please familiarize yourself with COM:SCOPE before attempting any further uploads. - Jmabel ! talk 04:37, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Understood, and I will make sure to familarize myself with the parameters of uplaods. Just to clarify, not all of my pages will be deleted, just the ones that had the pictures of text I uploaded right? InitialsKS (talk) 04:55, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

@InitialsKS: Those were the only uploads you had. - Jmabel ! talk 22:24, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Global lock evasion by the LTA ROXELANA22. See the activity on en.wiki and es.wiki. Given their 20 years of cross-wiki vandalism, including extensive vandalism on Commons, this temp account should immediately be indeffed. (SRG is currently backlogged on Meta.) LightandDark2000 (talk) 23:04, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

 Done indef-blocked, even if they haven't edited on Commons, because once I took the time to look into their edits elsewhere they are obviously up to no good. But, User:LightandDark2000: I don't really understand the point of blocking here. Why aren't you pursuing a global lock instead? - Jmabel ! talk 23:55, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
