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.

File:Satoshi Nakamoto.jpg

Can someone semi-protect File:Satoshi Nakamoto.jpg? It tends to attract unwanted anonymous edits (probably due to the visibility related to cryptocurrencies) and little to no constructive anonymous edits as far as I can see in the history. whym (talk) 01:07, 1 September 2024 (UTC) EDIT: Sorry, I thought the previous revert(s) were done this year, but there was a one-year gap. Maybe not frequent enough for semi-protection. whym (talk) 23:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just a note that the statue is a complete fabrication, with no basis in fact. The photo, on the other hand, is of a real statue.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:34, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, it might be better to describe it as something like "statue dedicated to SN" than "bust of SN" in the file description and at Category:Bust of Satoshi Nakamoto (Budapest). whym (talk) 01:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
  Done Semi-protected. Yann (talk) 05:12, 2 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sock/impersonation

Blocked as a sock on enwiki earlier this year, but not here. (Their oldest sock account here is User:Houston,illinois.) The username here is inspired by mine, as someone who's raised several SPIs against them in the past. Belbury (talk) 08:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
