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: Editwarring. XReport --All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 15:11, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

@Alachuckthebuck your report came eight after the last revert and is misplaced at a noticeboard dedicated to vandalism. That aside, the edits being reverted were clearly abusive and the culprit has been blocked and locked. Perhaps you might reconsider the wisdom of your report? HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:18, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

So sorry, I misinterpreted the diffs I looked at. Consider the complaint withdrawn. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 20:33, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Repeated spamming, has already been warned Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:20, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

 Done. I warned the user. All contributions are deleted. Taivo (talk) 09:42, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Is there a reason this user has not been banned? They are not here to do anything but spam nor is this their first warning. Gnomingstuff (talk) 14:16, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

The user was not warned before. I do not consider file deletion notice a warning. Taivo (talk) 12:12, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: The next Samirdu75 sockpuppet: see Commons:Deletion requests/Samirdu75 sockpuppet files. One of the files listed there, has been re-uploaded yesterday. The other files are hoaxes too: most of them have been uploaded earlier with a different name. After the user has been blocked, could you please delete all of this user's uploads? Wikiwerner (talk) 16:53, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

 Done Blocked, all files deleted. This is a massive farm, a request for checkuser would be useful. Yann (talk) 17:13, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Now and then new members of this farm appear. We may block all accounts at the IPs used and the underlying IPs or ranges, but again and again new members appear, so a checkuser request appears useless to me. Wikiwerner (talk) 18:57, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Can these two files (1, 2) also be deleted as explained in the nomination? Regards Riad Salih (talk) 19:01, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

 Done Yann (talk) 19:05, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

If dormant accounts are blocked before they are active, it becomes difficult for the sockmaster. The objective is to render editing so cumbersome that they stop creating new accounts. Sometimes it works. Yann (talk) 19:03, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
