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: VOA. Re-uploaded File:King Lil G.jpg, twice deleted as a copyright violation. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 02:13, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

File deleted, user warned. If they return to it, I'll block. If someone else feels a block is needed now, I won't oppose. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 03:17, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

 Comment @Shaan Sengupta: File:The Essential Cypress Hill.jpg looks to me like the same general issue, although not a re-upload. - Jmabel ! talk 21:05, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel, yes this was not a re-upload but the same issue as previous ones. Still, I think we should give ROPE to the user after this. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 08:47, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

@Shaan Sengupta: I'm not sure about the rope. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 06:50, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel, what do you think should be done here. This is obviously long term abuse using multiple accounts. Enwiki investigation shows that. Can you please decide, I'm ok with whatever your decision is. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 11:23, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

 Done indef-blocked. As with Shaan Sengupta, I'm not wedded to this, and if someone else wants to change that, go ahead, but based on that checkuser result I will not be changing it myself. - Jmabel ! talk 18:21, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism User talk:MagicLantern19#Vandalism warning -- Ooligan (talk) 16:40, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

 Done blocked for one month, as a start. I have a feeling that this won't be enough, let's see. If some other admin wants to extend or even indef, I won't have any objection. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 16:56, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: keeps removing sd template and leaving personal attack message in edit summary. XReport --GY Fan★ 22:06, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

• Already done blocked for a week by DerHexer. - Jmabel ! talk 22:57, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

  @DerHexer: I see that you disabled autoblock for them. Was that intentional? Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 05:37, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

  Yes, because I doubt that they will ever come back (i.e., no abusive edits to expect nor new account creations). And an auto(hard)blocked IP address (that we don't even know) would only disturb others who will use it later. It would only add extra work for admins to lift the block when false positives show up. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 10:48, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

  I see that the comrades at nowiki left a permaban with talk page access but no autoblock circumventions

  Interesting
