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.

Wynn.Studio

User: Wynn.Studio (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: promotional username Implying shared use and for advertising purposes (promotional uploads) XReport --All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 04:35, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Alachuckthebuck: There may be something problematic here, but there certainly isn't any vandalism. The normal way to raise any issue other than vandalism would be COM:AN/U, not here, and would involve leaving a notification on the talk page of the user in question. - Jmabel ! talk 06:38, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Looking to understand why this media was removed. Im sure I could have spent more time titling and providing insightful information about the upload but this is a clear exploration into type design and movement. Can we elaborate on why this might be something like vandalism? Wynn.Studio (talk) 13:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jmabel, Sorry about that, xreport sent it to ANV by accident, not ANU. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 16:30, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

 Not done wrong venue, let's not keep discussing here, since it looks like there will be a discussion. - Jmabel ! talk 20:00, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Pickup9386

User: Pickup9386 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Apparently a sockpuppet (Category:Sockpuppets of Saranphat chaiphet) created for block evasion, because this user and all the users in the mentioned category have been trying to upload the same copyright violation files which are related to Nan Province, not to mention that this user has "pick" in his username in the same manner as the sockpoppets in that category, such as Pick412 (talk · contribs), PickOil (talk · contribs), Pickoil412 (talk · contribs), PickOil9386 (talk · contribs), PickUp1994 (talk · contribs), etc, which indicates their relationships. Miwako Sato (talk) 22:50, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

User: MossiMousso (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Started uploading copyvios again after multiple warnings, including a stop copyvio message in August and a message on French Wikipedia. Blocking this person is the only solution I see now. Thanks -- Titlutin (talk) 23:57, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

@Achim55: Thanks, but the extension to one month did not deter her last time.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:52, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

She didn't use only one IP but at least three. So what... --Achim55 (talk) 16:55, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
