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.

Reason for reporting: Userpage issues, removed CSD tag, [1], [2]. XReport --MathXplore (talk) 12:22, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Deleted user page (definitely out of scope) and cleared the bio. Personally I would only look at a block on the next event but views may differ - thanks Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:34, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

 Done. All contributions are now deleted. In my opinion block is currently not needed. I will warn the user about scope. Taivo (talk) 11:53, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: This is almost certainly another sockpuppet of User:Đăng Đàn Cung. He has not yet started his usual activity in the Hanoi categories and is currently only uploading photos of the city, but the images clearly show the same phone model as in his previous sockpuppet accounts. -- Jakubhal 15:03, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Confirmed with two other accounts, blocked, tagged and global lock requested. I prefer if Đăng Đàn Cung sock suspects are brought up at Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Worvandae. --Lymantria (talk) 21:19, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, and sure - next ones (if I notice any) I will report through this CheckUser request. -- Jakubhal 04:27, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

DimiDimi

User: DimiDimi (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user Reason for reporting: Renames categories with incorrect names (see Category:Fritz! (company), Category:Vaio, and others). Paranoid25 (talk) 10:03, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Just to weigh in: The names he lists are proprietary spellings (FRITZ!, VAIO, HP OMEN etc.). As far as I know, these are not permitted. Furthermore, in the case of VAIO, only the brand name itself was capitalized as VAIO, while subcategories like Category:Vaio advertisements remained unchanged. He has already made several vehement attempts in August to rename my file File:Fritz! Logo 2025.svg. He is also aggressively enforcing the proprietary spellings on Wikidata and the English Wikipedia, even though, according to the English ‘'MOS:TMCAMPS’', this is not permitted or only allowed to a limited extent. DimiDimi (talk) 15:11, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

@DimiDimi: You mean en:MOS:TMCAPS?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:16, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. DimiDimi (talk) 15:18, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

 Not done Whatever is going on here, it is clearly not vandalism; in fact, it doesn't look to me like an admin issue at all. If you can't get consensus between yourselves about the category naming issue, maybe take it to COM:VP. - Jmabel ! talk 22:31, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Replacing file description with profanity. There also is S8pdkochdh who uploaded a meme which Jsvegeus used for vandalising ruwiki (which, alas, can be seen only by admins in ruwiki). Тай Лунг (talk) 12:39, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Здравствуйте. Произошло недоразумение. Я не добавлял ненормативную лексику, а написал фразу «Тун Тун сахур». Я не знал, что это считается нарушением правил. Приношу извинения за бессмысленную правку, впредь буду внимательнее к правилам описания файлов. Пожалуйста, не блокируйте мой аккаунт. S8pdkochdh (talk) 12:59, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

•  Done indef-blocked link spammer. - Jmabel ! talk 00:49, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
• I vaguely remember there is some tool to do a mass rollback, but I can't find it. All of their edits should be rolled back. - Jmabel ! talk 01:00, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  I reverted all the then-current revisions using Twinkle Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 01:26, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

  @Jmabel: I have the following in my global.js to use en:User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/massRollback:

  mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Writ_Keeper/Scripts/massRollback.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

  I have not used it on this user's 61 contributions to give you the option.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:49, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

"Taliban-related" vandal accounts

In the edit-history of File:Lorn Panh.jpg I stumbled over 4 obviously related and recently created accounts, that were used to add nonsense or even racist comments to files or user-talkpages. Their apparent connection to the Taliban might be an intentional false-flag operation.

• Taliban Mart (talk · contribs) example: [3]
• 331do Taliban (talk · contribs)
• JustRandomTaliban (talk · contribs) example: [4]

Reason for reporting: Indeffed on nowiki for harassment, one of the two images they uploaded here reads "wen you know his hell of a gay" [sic] with a photo of a teenage boy using a laptop. The description says "En sjiraff som har mutert til et menneske" which translates to "A giraffe that has mutated into a human". It was uploaded while editing w:no:Sjiraffer.

Reason for reporting: vandalism-type edits Prototyperspective (talk) 20:01, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

This has been resolved. My account was hijacked due to a Google Web Store App I had downloaded on my computer. I haven't had an issue since I've removed the app. I was able to report this to User:A09 via Wikimedia Discord and we've resolved the matter.

I also want to add that this is an oddly hasty request, and the user should've discussed these edits with me first rather than coming to the noticeboard. The edits in question were not alarming to the point that this request was warranted. Basic communication should've been the first resort and it's a disappointment that this wasn't exercised first. -Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 20:13, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

I cannot exactly confirm that a Google Web Store App was the cause of the problem; however I can say that a usual account compromisation is unlikely (though as far as I am aware local CUs have much better data to their disposal and they also confirmed my findings).

 Comment, this temporary account hasn't been active for more than a month already. Also, the IP info suggests there isn't any other temporary accounts associated with this IP. So, I don't think it will be of much use to block this account. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 22:10, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
