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:Flag_of_Brazil.svg

Please add Upload protection. There seems to be an endless revert war going on. Enhancing999 (talk) 02:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done indefinite autopatroller protection to prevent reverts —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 08:33, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is this sufficient for the file versions? Enhancing999 (talk) 10:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well I trust autopatrollers not to revert war, since they also can overwrite files. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 15:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Matrix: Please re-protect. When you deleted some file revisions, the protection didn’t survive through the operation. --Geohakkeri (talk) 10:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, seems that's what happened in 2019 with the indefinite protection added in 2015.[1] Enhancing999 (talk) 10:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done again should be good now —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 15:00, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to semi-protect File:Mining Yellow.svg

Used on 2,002 pages on the Latin Wikipedia, any vandalism to this file would ruin practically all of Latin Wikipedia, so that's why I'm requesting to semi-protect this file. Wheatley2 (talk) 23:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done The file does not seem to have been vandalised, but protecting it won't harm it I guess. Bedivere (talk) 02:01, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AnVuong1222004 (N)

All obvious sockpuppets, uploading similar non-free content and occasionally nominating each other's files for deletion. Accounts (2) through (5) are all already blocked; the five listed above aren't yet. Omphalographer (talk) 01:39, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done All blocked and tagged. Bedivere (talk) 02:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dmitrii Andreev

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)[reply]

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

File:Capcut-logo.svg

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

✓ Semi-protected for a year. -- CptViraj (talk) 06:12, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MaretaBG-a_su_tukli_u_policiji (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

Seems like an attack account -- DaxServer (talk) 08:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done --A.Savin 09:18, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Main Page/motd

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

✓ Done Yann (talk) 16:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

Al Ameen Quyum

Repeatedly re-uploading the deleted files of globally locked Ademolabright (talk · contribs). Marbletan (talk) 15:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked, file deleted. Yann (talk) 16:32, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Asouum

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)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked, file deleted. Yann (talk) 16:35, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Anoglak0612

Please consider blocking Anoglak0612 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) 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)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked, files deleted. Yann (talk) 17:40, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Librovore: What do you think about JordanGlass37 - Alyssa May (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) who requested deletion of files uploaded by Aommyabrina with nonsense rationale? Yann (talk) 17:48, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@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) and Oh Nattapon NakhonNayok (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) were found to be sockpuppets of Levi Kambai (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information). 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)[reply]
OK thanks. ✓ Done Since Levi Kambai was already blocked here, I blocked the socks as well. Yann (talk) 18:25, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
