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 []

Reason for reporting: Uploading copyrighted publicity photos and magazine covers and selfies of Stephanie Cam as "own work" after a final warning, and reuploading some when they are deleted. No other contributions. Belbury (talk) 17:52, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

 Done blocked for a month, because this is so clear-cut, but @Belbury, this really should have come to COM:AN/U, with a notification on their talk page. There is no indication that this was vandalism (intentional harm to the project), just someone focused on getting particular material out there and not caring about anything else. - Jmabel ! talk 18:03, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

@Jmabel: I figured that clear-cut copyvios after being asked to stop was harming the project, but noted, I'll use ANU for future cases like this.

Do you intend to delete the own-work selfies and I-found-this-online Vogue covers and so on, or shall I open a DR? Belbury (talk) 18:12, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

@Belbury: Please open a DR, or if something is blatant enough (you mention Vogue covers) nominate as a speedy deletion. I looked at a couple of uploads, didn't see anything that reached the level of "OMG, must be deleted ASAP", and considered my job of responding to the request done. In particular, there was certainly nothing about the images that constitutes vandalism, just the usual sort of out-of-scope uploads we get all day. The exact reason I gave this report immediate attention at all (in the midst of doing other stuff) is that AN/V is often where we get reports of someone doing massive, ongoing damage that needs to be dealt with immediately. - Jmabel ! talk 18:42, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism from a Brazilian LTA, see abuse filter log. XReport --Codename Noreste (talk) 03:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

 Done I know we don't normally indef-block an IP address, but I did. If anyone wants to shorten it, feel free. - Jmabel ! talk 05:38, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

In this case, it is quite justified. This IP was already blocked for a year, and that wasn't sufficient. Yann (talk) 16:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Disruption only FMSky (talk) 01:01, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

They might actually have thought what they were doing was correct. No one (including you) gave a warning. I have now given one. - Jmabel ! talk

Spam! JayCubby (talk) 02:45, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

•  Done user warned, everything nominated for deletion.
• Reminder: there is nothing unique to admins in the ability to nominate files for deletion and/or to warn people that their uploads constitute unacceptable self-promotion. - Jmabel ! talk 05:02, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

  Fair enough. I don't trust myself with VFC enough to mass-tag a set of uploads, though there's only one way to tell if I'll actually botch it. Cheers! JayCubby (talk) 05:06, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: promotional edits, see contribs and userpage. XReport --All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 05:07, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

 Done. I deleted speedily some obvious copyvios, but in my opinion the rest does not qualify for speedy deletion. User is warned, userpage deleted, that's currently enough. You can nominate the rest for regular deletion not as copyvios, but due to some kind of out of scope. Taivo (talk) 11:41, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
