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.

 Comment doesn't seem to me like vandalism, just out-of-scope self-promotion and one piece of borderline vandalism (blanking the DR of his stuff). All uploads now deleted. As long as he doesn't resume that, I can't see a reason to block. - Jmabel ! talk 21:45, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

TemporaryAccount2027 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

The user is leaving repeated nonsensical messages in deletion requests, opening deletion requests with nonsensical rationales for files that already have an ongoing DR, leaving double messages to the uploaders already warned by other users and leaving nonsensical messages on the gadget's talk pages. I think that they are trolling and I suspect that they are a LTA. Friniate (talk) 20:14, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

 Done This is apparently a 11-year old testing. Several warnings sent. Blocked for 3 days, all edits reverted or deleted. Yann (talk) 11:34, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: User repeatedly reverting the "Somaliland (orthographic projection).svg" file (four times as of writing) without reason, also, looking at his post history this topic (denying the existence of the Somali North Eastern State) seems to be a personal obsession of his, including multiple edits removing image claims for no reason.

Reason for reporting: vandalism edits that need to be reverted Prototyperspective (talk) 23:30, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

@Prototyperspective: could you be more specific about what edits were bad? I looked at 5 edits, and saw 4 reasonable edits and a probably honest mistake of adding a nonexistent category. - Jmabel ! talk 01:28, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

I looked multiple uploads and all of them are decent, although categorizing could be improved, but descriptions and filenames are helpful. Taivo (talk) 11:12, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Sorry if I made a mistake but the edits that aren't uploads seem a lot like vandalism – check this diff which got me notice of the user's edits. This file of a river/stream has inappropriate categories as far as I can tell like "Terrorists in art". From the editor history it seemed like the user was adding the Akpanta, Benue cat indiscriminately to files. Anyway, sorry for reporting and this can probably be archived but closer inspection and fixing the cats of the linked file may still be good. Prototyperspective (talk) 12:05, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
