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.

Repeatedly uploading the same file that has been deleted as a copyright violation. Was given a final warning, but persists. Marbletan (talk) 13:57, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done. 3 months block. All contributions are deleted. Taivo (talk) 08:27, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Extensive IP vandalism in the past year. Gnomingstuff (talk) 05:42, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Main Page/motd

Please change edit protection to "admins and template editors" (currently admins only). Enhancing999 (talk) 11:47, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done Yann (talk) 16:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

When trying to edit it, I notice that it's also cascade protected by transclusion from Main Page. Not sure if this should be changed. Thanks anyways. Enhancing999 (talk) 12:06, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

We might as well change the protection on the Main Page, too.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:12, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

I understand, but, personally, I'd rather not. Because, it also protects files and I wouldn't really want to edit those while they are on the mainpage without being aware of that. Enhancing999 (talk) 13:15, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Account registered today to upload copyvio images of the Egyptian mongoose taken from Facebook, a thing User:Ilyes toon was blocked for yesterday. File:Egyptian Mongoose in Algeria.jpg is a repeat filename and may be exactly the same image again. Belbury (talk) 15:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

User:Anoglak0612

Please consider blocking Anoglak0612 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions) for being a sockpuppet of Aommyabrina (talk · contribs), whose other sockpuppets include Yodchaibn (talk · contribs) and Yothaland (talk · contribs). Thank you so much. 🙏‍ -- Librovore (talk) 17:25, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done Blocked, files deleted. Yann (talk) 17:40, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

@Librovore: What do you think about JordanGlass37 - Alyssa May (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions) who requested deletion of files uploaded by Aommyabrina with nonsense rationale? Yann (talk) 17:48, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: According to a sockpuppet investigation at the Thai Wikipedia, JordanGlass37 - Alyssa May (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions) and Oh Nattapon NakhonNayok (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions) were found to be sockpuppets of Levi Kambai (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions). These users have been blocked on some projects for vandalism and sockpuppetry. Although some edits here by JordanGlass37 are nonsensical, some appear to be reasonable. As regards how he should be treated, I think I should leave this question to administrators. --Librovore (talk) 18:08, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

OK thanks.  Done Since Levi Kambai was already blocked here, I blocked the socks as well. Yann (talk) 18:25, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
