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.

High level of sockpuppetry, accounts only made for vandalism on files related to Category:Maloosak (actress). Hanooz 07:00, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

 Done as a precaution. Have you opened a SPI request? Gbawden (talk) 07:44, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Done. Could you please undelete Category:Maloosak (actress)? Hanooz 17:22, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Done. It had been vandalized; I can see how someone would have looked at it and not guessed there had once been something valid there. I wonder if these vandal/sockpuppets were all the same person as User:Arken-B (see Category talk:Maloosak (actress)). - Jmabel ! talk 19:16, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

@Hanooz: Thank you for reporting here and starting Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Arken-B.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 05:34, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Protection Request

I would like to request indefinite Semi-protection for File:NID (Back).png, it seems to be a regular target of vandalism over the past year. --Stux (talk) 20:44, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

I'd like to add a similar request to: File:ChatGPT-Logo.svg. Thanks. --Stux (talk) 21:21, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

@Stux:

File:NID (Back).png -->  Done

File:ChatGPT-Logo.svg. -->  Not done Kadı Message 23:56, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks @Kadı! I was about to ask why the ChatGPT logo wasn't protected and then I realized there was less vandalism than I initially thought. Is it that semi-protection would prevent all the users with "red" usernames (typically newer) from making legitimate edits like the caption changes? --Stux (talk) 15:28, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

@Stux, yes. Kadı Message 18:55, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

User:JestCam

JestCam (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user Uploads are copyvio, vandalism (...AI alterations of images women in their underwear to make them older), or both. Or duplicates. Wracking (talk) 03:47, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done Indef-blocked. AI-altered pictures and a bunch of copyvios. Obviously not here to make positive contributions to the project. - Jmabel ! talk 04:46, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

User:レナセールセレナーデ

• レナセールセレナーデ (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

The another sock of already indef blocked user; Ikeya hikaru (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user and 사랑이란 무엇인가 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user. This user uploaded mass copyvio Korean girls idol portraits and Japanese idol animations (en:Aikatsu) as well as the master account did so. And in jawiki, Ikeya uses this account's media in ja:Special:Diff/108553642 and both users edited same article ja:静岡県立静岡商業高等学校. Obviously this account was made for invading indef blocking. Netora (talk) 04:41, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

• Partly done: Indef-blocked, but someone else can deal with the copyvios. - Jmabel ! talk 04:50, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

User:Warin-100264-412

User: Warin-100264-412 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

Reason for reporting: Apparently a sockpuppet (Category:Sockpuppets of Saranphat chaiphet) created for block evasion, because (1) the user uploaded copyvio files related to Nan province, which are exactly the same files as those uploaded by the socks in the mentioned category, and (2) the username is similar to those in the mentioned category, such as Warinphut.cha (talk · contribs), Warinthon.cha412 (talk · contribs), Warinthon.cha9386 (talk · contribs), etc, which indicates their relationship. Miwako Sato (talk) 13:07, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done. I blocked the user indefinitely and mass deleted all his/her uploads. Taivo (talk) 13:55, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

User:WikiOriginal-888

WikiOriginal-888 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user is uploading obvious copyvio (laundered through Flickr) after multiple requests to stop, obvious sockpuppet of AmazingSunset381 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user Adeletron 3030 (talk) 02:22, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Inappropriate username. Leonidlednev (talk) 23:55, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I'm missing the inappropriateness, would someone spell it out? - Jmabel ! talk 03:09, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

en:Fourteen Words 1488 in a username is a red flag, even if accidental. Acroterion (talk) 03:25, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
