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.

User: Abiadee.seleste (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: vandalism (randomly deleting text from valid DRs of their files), likely self-promotion (uploading large amounts of redundant pornography of the same person, probably themself) Dronebogus (talk) 04:39, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done Indef., as NOT HERE. I guess most files could be deleted. Yann (talk) 13:17, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

General199999

User: General199999 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

 Done. I blocked the General indefinitely and mass deleted all his uploads and categories. Taivo (talk) 12:56, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: spam Dronebogus (talk) 16:55, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

fyi they're already blocked on Wikidata for spam Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 00:19, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 03:27, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Spam. Alexis Jazz: I have seen better work from you.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 06:39, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Not spam and next time I'm too tired to come up with words I'll just not file a report for an obvious LTA and spare myself the criticism. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 13:25, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: Would you please name the LTA or MO? Obviously, people are not seeing the connection.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:24, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Jeff G., no idea, but the particular kind of nonsense they were writing is something you'd only see from an LTA. And as Jmabel said, very obviously NOT HERE. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:35, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done Blocked. --Yann (talk) 14:31, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, even if not an obvious LTA, it was an obvious NOT HERE. - Jmabel ! talk 14:34, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. This vandal claimed to be Alessandro Borghese and was insulting Blackcat in Italian like ~2026-29587-11 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RBL • • guc • stalktoy • block user • block log • Abuse filter log) did on 17 May.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:39, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Can the underlying IPs in the same region of Italy with the same ASIN and Organization be addressed? Thank you all for the cooperation.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:18, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

• The LTA that comes on my Commons talk page has already had an IP range block on it.wiki. -- Blackcat ^{[write me]} 18:44, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

  @Blackcat: Sadly, the last two IPs were in different /16 netblocks, with the potential for much collateral damage.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 18:56, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

  Yes @Jeff G.: I am aware of that, on the other hand this LTA is more annoying than harmful. -- Blackcat ^{[write me]} 20:35, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

• User: ~2026-31703-71 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RBL • • guc • stalktoy • block user • block log • Abuse filter log)
• Reasons for reporting: Hitting multiple filters. Using a callback proxy named "LUMINATI_PROXY".   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:00, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I don't see what is the issue here. Using a proxy is not in itself a reason for a block. Yann (talk) 14:37, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

@Yann: Kindly review m:NOP and the filter hits, including 257.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:42, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: A vandalism-only account that keeps adding his own name to pages. --Flamevine (talk) 03:26, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Seems to have stopped shortly after I dropped a {{Test}} notice. Or maybe just paused …—Odysseus1479 (talk) 03:48, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: A vandalism-only account that keeps adding nonsensical text to pages. --Flamevine (talk) 03:28, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

seems to me link his edit at File:Paetongtarn Shinawatra June 2025.jpg was quite an improvement on what was there before. I don't read Thai, and I'm leaving this to someone else to sort out. - Jmabel ! talk 06:57, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: {{{2}}} — Preceding unsigned comment added by NDG (talk • contribs)

 Done Blocked. Clearly a vandal, probably the return of some blocked LTA.

@NDG: that was kind of an anemic report. Please do try to give us some clue what is the problem when reporting someone. - Jmabel ! talk 14:18, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Pinging @TenWhile6 as maintainer of XReport.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:31, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel: the reported account vandalised your reply to say "probably not the return of some blocked LTA" (boldface is mine) Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 11:23, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

@Whyiseverythingalreadyused: That edit was by a different account reported below and indeffed, but probably the same LTA.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:11, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

User: ~2026-32270-80 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Improper vandalism, long-term abuse. Usually he added File:Ejaculation_utilizing_TENS_device.gif to several user accounts and articles both on Commons (for instance User_talk:Eduard47) and de.Wikivoyage. The user came from Vienna, State of Vienna, Austria via Telekom Austria and used several proxies. RolandUnger (talk) 12:50, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Is it possible to protect User:Eduard47 and his talk page? --RolandUnger (talk) 12:57, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

@RolandUnger: Probably. I would recommend semi-protection so he can still edit those pages.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:13, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Of course, semi-protection is sufficient. --RolandUnger (talk) 14:16, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done. I blocked the user, but currently I see no need to protect Eduard's talkpage, because it is vandalized only once. Taivo (talk) 16:35, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done indef-blocked for uploading what appear to me to be nothing but fake flags. Nominated them all for deletion rather than speedy-ing, because I am not 100% confident that they are all fake. If someone else is more confident than I am, feel free to speedy-delete (do close the DR if you do). - Jmabel ! talk 02:48, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
