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.

Blakezz

User: Blakezz (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Uploading personal manifesto images like File:Avant Garde 2025 Is Not Dead! Inspired by the GLOBUS HYSTERICUS AGENDA 21 AI TECHNOCRATIC MILLENNIAL SUCKERS!.jpg after a warning for out of scope content. User:Blakkez appears to be an alt account created a day later and uploading the same kind of content in parallel. No constructive contributions from either account. Belbury (talk) 10:20, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done Both accounts indeffed. User:Marbletan seems to know more about this person - they tagged the second account as a sock of an LTA I don't recognize - but that wasn't a factor in these blocks. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 10:29, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

In case this info is needed in the future: Blakkez and Blakezz are obvious socks of Bien Bones Banez, Jr. (talk · contribs) who has been involved in aggressive inappropriate cross-wiki self-promotion for many years using multiple accounts. At this point any account promoting someone named Bienvenido Bones Banez (or variations thereof) should probably be blocked on sight. Marbletan (talk) 15:46, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Advisor Tech Partners

User: Advisor Tech Partners (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Spam only. Repeated uploads of same logo at various resolutions. Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 00:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done Blocked by The Squirrel Conspiracy. Yann (talk) 19:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

User: 103.129.191.39 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: It looks like this individual is making test edits, but these disrupt pages. Grand-Duc (talk) 04:23, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done Blocked for 3 days. Yann (talk) 19:12, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Grateful1995

User: Grateful1995 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Keep removing DR on file page without valid reason A1Cafel (talk) 03:44, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Warned by Jmabel below. Files are deleted and user warned with {{Nopenis}}. I suspect that in the very near future, they'll either get an indef for ignoring that warning or stop using Commons altogether, as that's usually how exhibitionism-only accounts go, but at this time no further admin action is needed. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 04:59, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done blocked by Yann All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 03:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

A1Cafel

User: A1Cafel (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Keeps reporting Wiki Media pages with unsatisfactory reasons. Grateful1995 (talk) 04:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Grateful1995: While I don't always agree with A1Cafel they are certainly not a vandal.

If you really believe that several DRs filed against your uploads are wrong, argue the case on the DRs. If, indeed, there are several that are egregiously wrong you might have a case for COM:AN/U (but not COM:AN/V). About the wrong-est thing you can do is simply revert the DRs. If you continue doing that, you (not A1Cafel) will be blocked. - Jmabel ! talk 04:24, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank You for the quick response. I am new to the platform and I certainly don't know many things. I'll be sure to learn more about them. But A1Cafel's behaviour discourage new and inexperienced users. Grateful1995 (talk) 04:37, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done No admin action needed. I've wiped Grateful1995's uploads under COM:CSD F10. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 04:54, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

I am tired of frivolous reports here for a quite while. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 06:24, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Asad1786

User: Asad1786 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Repeatedly uploading the same copyrighted YouTube still of Yousuf Mahbubul Islam, with increasing levels of visual edits and false claims about its provenance (that it's the uploader's own work, or was generated by ChatGPT). Past a final warning. Belbury (talk) 15:51, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done, @Belbury: I have deleted their last-remaining upload and blocked them for two weeks. Let's see what comes then. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 16:10, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Freebashar

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

Reason for reporting: Promotional uploads despite warnings (NSFW UPLOADS) XReport --All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 05:15, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Jan 1 uploads were deleted as copyvios. This batch was deleted for scope. No uploads since you sent them the {{Nopenis}} warning. Any future similar uploads will result in a block though. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
