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.

Alouette99I

User: Alouette99I (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: New sockpuppet of User:Đăng Đàn Cung, created after previous set was blocked two days ago. -- Jakubhal 05:24, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

• BTW, he has requested many file renames (as he always does), and nobody is verifying them. Files are usually moved, and he later returns with another account to request further renames of the same files or categories to "better" names. -- Jakubhal 05:30, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Confirmed Sestgarish55, HaCong4439u and Alouette99I. Blocked and tagged. --Lymantria (talk) 06:21, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

    @Jakubhal:  locked thanks to @Lymantria and @Count Count.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 06:47, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Sibidas

User: Sibidas (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Userpage issues, removed CSD tag, [1], [2]. XReport --MathXplore (talk) 13:15, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

I've deleted the userpage twice and now left an additional explaination on his talkpage. --Túrelio (talk) 13:24, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

@Túrelio The userpage was recreated again. HurricaneZeta^C 17:22, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

 Blocked for 1 week, as they recreated their self-promotional userpage 3 times despited be warned on their talkpage. --Túrelio (talk) 17:26, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

VIP XM Partner Code CTG8M

User: VIP XM Partner Code CTG8M (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Spamming and promotional username. XReport --HurricaneZeta^C 17:21, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done The name is enough for an indef-block. The specific partner code clearly puts it over the line. - Jmabel ! talk 21:09, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

User: ErnestOppong513 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Userpage issues, removed CSD tag, [3], [4]. XReport --MathXplore (talk) 12:22, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Deleted user page (definitely out of scope) and cleared the bio. Personally I would only look at a block on the next event but views may differ - thanks Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:34, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done. All contributions are now deleted. In my opinion block is currently not needed. I will warn the user about scope. Taivo (talk) 11:53, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

~2026-13569-24

User: ~2026-13569-24 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Vandalism; same edit pattern as blocked user Special:Contributions/~2025-33639-32 IagoQnsi (talk) 02:44, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done indef-blocked, and I guess I'll revert most of their edits. - Jmabel ! talk 06:12, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Lleuman6652

User: Lleuman6652 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: This is almost certainly another sockpuppet of User:Đăng Đàn Cung. He has not yet started his usual activity in the Hanoi categories and is currently only uploading photos of the city, but the images clearly show the same phone model as in his previous sockpuppet accounts. -- Jakubhal 15:03, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Confirmed with two other accounts, blocked, tagged and global lock requested. I prefer if Đăng Đàn Cung sock suspects are brought up at Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Worvandae. --Lymantria (talk) 21:19, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, and sure - next ones (if I notice any) I will report through this CheckUser request. -- Jakubhal 04:27, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

DimiDimi

User: DimiDimi (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user Reason for reporting: Renames categories with incorrect names (see Category:Fritz! (company), Category:Vaio, and others). Paranoid25 (talk) 10:03, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Just to weigh in: The names he lists are proprietary spellings (FRITZ!, VAIO, HP OMEN etc.). As far as I know, these are not permitted. Furthermore, in the case of VAIO, only the brand name itself was capitalized as VAIO, while subcategories like Category:Vaio advertisements remained unchanged. He has already made several vehement attempts in August to rename my file File:Fritz! Logo 2025.svg. He is also aggressively enforcing the proprietary spellings on Wikidata and the English Wikipedia, even though, according to the English ‘'MOS:TMCAMPS’', this is not permitted or only allowed to a limited extent. DimiDimi (talk) 15:11, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

@DimiDimi: You mean en:MOS:TMCAPS?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:16, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. DimiDimi (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

 Not done Whatever is going on here, it is clearly not vandalism; in fact, it doesn't look to me like an admin issue at all. If you can't get consensus between yourselves about the category naming issue, maybe take it to COM:VP. - Jmabel ! talk 22:31, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

User: AdityaJogi08 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: vandalism/spam edits Prototyperspective (talk) 12:02, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

@Prototyperspective,  Done: spam-only account. Kadı Message 15:09, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Jsvegeus

User: Jsvegeus (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Replacing file description with profanity. There also is S8pdkochdh who uploaded a meme which Jsvegeus used for vandalising ruwiki (which, alas, can be seen only by admins in ruwiki). Тай Лунг (talk) 12:39, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Здравствуйте. Произошло недоразумение. Я не добавлял ненормативную лексику, а написал фразу «Тун Тун сахур». Я не знал, что это считается нарушением правил. Приношу извинения за бессмысленную правку, впредь буду внимательнее к правилам описания файлов. Пожалуйста, не блокируйте мой аккаунт. S8pdkochdh (talk) 12:59, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done. I blocked both indefinitely as vandalism-only accounts. Taivo (talk) 18:08, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Vinodgenesismasih

Vinodgenesismasih (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

OOS post at the help desk and creating a clearly OOS user page just to nominate it for deletion immediately. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 00:40, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

I deleted the accidental DR, and I don't think there's any blockable offense. Posted them a talk notification about our scope. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 01:09, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

蔣萬安市長

User: 蔣萬安市長 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: LTA, abuse of multiple accounts to evade blocks:Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Blocks_and_protections/Archive_40#zh:LTA:SYA. Just uploaded a fake Taipei city emblem based on Tainan City emblem. XReport --Sakurase (talk) 08:27, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: lots of vandalism edits Prototyperspective (talk) 23:53, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

•  Done indef-blocked link spammer. - Jmabel ! talk 00:49, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
• I vaguely remember there is some tool to do a mass rollback, but I can't find it. All of their edits should be rolled back. - Jmabel ! talk 01:00, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  I reverted all the then-current revisions using Twinkle Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 01:26, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  @Jmabel: I have the following in my global.js to use en:User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/massRollback:

  mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Writ_Keeper/Scripts/massRollback.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

  I have not used it on this user's 61 contributions to give you the option.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:49, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  • Well, it looks like Whyiseverythingalreadyused beat me to it, but it is good to know a couple of tools for this purpose. - Jmabel ! talk 01:59, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Mugiwara no rūfī 2026

Mugiwara no rūfī 2026 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user Reason for reporting: Long-term abuse: Zjholder/Reversi vandal. Needs a global lock. NX3710 (talk) 01:57, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

•  Done Clearly a vandalism-only account, indef-blocked. (I know nothing about Zjholder/Reversi, but on their own conduct this is an indef.) - Jmabel ! talk 02:08, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  Thanks for blocking that troll. Looks like talk page needs to be revoked too. NX3710 (talk) 02:10, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  •  Done Blocked email as well, while I'm at it. - Jmabel ! talk 02:17, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
