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.

Reasons for reporting: Vandalism again, see unactioned report in archives.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:11, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G., I just indeffed 8 TAs. I thought of blocking IP ranges but there are just too many. Then I thought to block the most used, but it is probably shared by another person. Since you are tracking them, I believe it will now be easy to get rid of them by just reporting them as block evasion/abusing multiple accounts. Please let me know if there is a need to protect some files. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 13:29, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Pewaris 99

Pewaris 99 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user is indiscriminately nominating files related to Israel for deletion with no reason other than the word "deleted". This along with some edits replacing templates with a link to the Wikidata entry for Palestine (diff) makes me think this is intentional vandalism. Streetr4 (talk) 14:47, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

They also appear to be a sock of User:Alifsamad30, since they reuploaded File:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad.jpg. Streetr4 (talk) 15:02, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism. See Special:Diff/1281516244 (this is a permalink). XReport --Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 07:41, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Doesn't immediately strike me as a vandal, just someone who doesn't quite get Commons' scope and (per the example above) isn't very competent with our processes. In the edit linked above, they were presumably trying to ask for undeletion of File:A screen shot.png, an innocuous but out-of-scope piece of abstract art they uploaded and presumably created. - Jmabel ! talk 08:40, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

They probably ignored a warning when uploading File:A screen shot.png.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:11, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

No, as far as I can tell they did not. Nor do they appear to me to have attempted to re-upload it (as you say on their user talk page): they asked for undeletion.

I think this account was wrongly blocked. No one attempted to explain to them why their artworks (which were not bad, for what they were) were out of scope, and I see no reason to think their intent was vandalism. If I'm missing something, I'd like to know what it is. This feels to me like a real case of biting a newbie, and in this case more than biting. Not saying I know they would have turned into a good user, but from their account name they are probably in their teens and deserved an explanation and guidance, not a block. - Jmabel ! talk 18:38, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalising another user's talk page [1] and creating nonsense DR (see their contrib history, e.g. this DR). I suspect this is a sockpuppet of a LTA, based on their username. Possibly part of, or is imitating Category:Sockpuppets of ChanComThemPho, as it follows its naming convention of "X vs Y, X wins!", but in Chinese. Tvpuppy (talk) 16:08, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
