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 []

195.89.26.154

• User: 195.89.26.154 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RBL • abusefilter • tools • guc • stalktoy • block user • block log)
• Reasons for reporting: Vandalism only.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 09:00, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done. I blocked the IP for 3 days. Vandalism is reverted. Taivo (talk) 09:30, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Имя участника1487

User:Имя участника1487 Vandalism only. Bestalex (talk) 12:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done Warned. No edit for the last 3 days, so that should be sufficient for now. Yann (talk) 12:41, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Yuvizkvaf

User: Yuvizkvaf (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Uploading redundant, duplicate images after being asked to stop. Descriptions also fail to attribute the source. Only other edit has been to issue a speedy deletion warning against a user whose file was not being deleted. Belbury (talk) 13:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done Blocked for a week, all files already deleted. Yann (talk) 15:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Might perhaps be a sock of Hwsertgw (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user. Pinging User:Elcobbola who blocked them. --Achim55 (talk) 15:53, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

 It looks like a duck to me. These are Salebot1, FWIW. Эlcobbola _talk 17:47, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Employeesalarysoftware

User: Employeesalarysoftware (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: LTA spam yet again, I repeat my request for a filter Gnomingstuff (talk) 15:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I blocked the user indefinitely and mass deleted all uploads. Taivo (talk) 09:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Can the subject of their spam be blacklisted or filtered out?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:24, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism XReport --Leonidlednev (talk) 18:10, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done Globally locked by stewards. --Ruthven (msg) 07:06, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I closed his DR's and deleted something. Taivo (talk) 08:59, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

User:Orijentolog

User: Orijentolog (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Abuse of the revert tool and mass edit waring. I reported them for it on Administrators' noticeboard/User problems but they are still doing it and refuse to stop. So I think it needs to be dealt with as the disruptive vandalism that it clearly is at this point. Adamant1 (talk) 04:37, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

User:Adamant1 devastated most of Iran-related categories, hundreds of them, which I was making over several years. Now he's very surprised his edits are reverted, amazing. --Orijentolog (talk) 05:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

The categories you created and that I nominated for deletion were for non-exiting WikiProjects and/or didn't make sense otherwise. That's on you for creating nonsenical categories for subjects that don't exist. In no way am I supprised you had an issue with me nominating them for deletion though. This 100% purely about the way you went about it. I don't really care if you disagree with my edits. What you shouldn't do is revert someone over 300 times in 10 minutes and then continue doing it more then 100 times after they report you. That's not an appropriate way to resolve a dispute. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:50, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

User Adamant1 is a known problem-maker and has been blocked in the past for problematic deletion requests. Kruusamägi (talk) 11:49, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

And Orijentolog is still committing vandalism. They aren't mutually exclusive. Thanks for the axe grinding comment though. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:38, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Habibullah Samani

User: Habibullah Samani (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Uploading selfies with long, promotional descriptions (Habibullah Samani is also known as Samani is a young and talented Social Activist from Birgunj District Parsa Nepal. [...] The most popular and rising star in Birgunj [...]) after being warned to stop with both the personal photos and the promotional content. Belbury (talk) 11:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done Warned before, no useful, blocked indef. as NOTHERE. Yann (talk) 17:24, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

38.109.5.24

User: 38.109.5.24 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Vandalism XReport --Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 16:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done Blocked for 3 years. Already blocked twice. Yann (talk) 17:25, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

0A0mAn

User: 0A0mAn (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: CIR. Mostly pointless depicts. Special:Contributions/0A0mAn Glrx (talk) 19:19, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Indefinitely blocked, all reverted. Taivo (talk) 06:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Urgent: stop User:Adygrafix250 now

See Special:Contributions/Adygrafix250. This user is deleting valuable content and replaces it with something else. JopkeB (talk) 13:17, 6 September 2024 (UTC) At least: Commons:Galleries + Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 in Rwanda/Menu . --JopkeB (talk) 13:20, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Couldn't the bulk deletion in Commons:Galleries have been in misclick? --Túrelio (talk) 13:29, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

@Túrelio: I don't know. A misclick and at the same time the same addition as in another page? Two misclicks right after each other? JopkeB (talk) 13:33, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Their profile doesn't really fit for intended vandalism. Anyway, I've notified them. --Túrelio (talk) 14:20, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

45.234.116.122

User: 45.234.116.122 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
