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: [1], [2], [3], [4] All activities are vandalism. A sockpuppet of the globally banned troll Musée Annam 源義信 (talk) 03:59, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

 Done Of the four edits by this user, 3 are actually pretty harmless but https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NorthTension&diff=prev&oldid=955263663 merited a one-month block. - Jmabel ! talk 19:49, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, please have a look at the histories of those pages, this IP user was reverting the vandalised pages to the version by blocked sockpuppet accounts, and such cases have happened many times. 源義信 (talk) 15:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

@源義信: 2401:d800:9ea1:d579::/64 is now locally and globally locked.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

(no evidence was presented for the sockpuppet accusation, so I didn't follow that up.) - Jmabel ! talk 19:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Block evasion of User:Baginda 480, request User:Koavf to upload images on behalf of the users, see also related IP range 2402:1980:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 A1Cafel (talk) 10:23, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Huh. I'm not familiar with this guy, but to be clear, there's no problem with the uploads themselves, correct? I think they are all legit media uploads (minus the personality dimension of being a blocked user who is just evading a block). —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:25, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Enwiki has a policy about editing on behalf of the blocked users. IMO it shouldn't be done otherwise it gives a wrong message that their behaviour can achieve what they want. --A1Cafel (talk) 10:30, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, of course. I would never work to help someone ban evade. My question is just: "these media are themselves acceptable, correct?", not withstanding how it is inappropriate to edit by proxy for a blocked user. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Those files should be alright under {{PD-USGov}}--A1Cafel (talk) 10:38, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Continued block evasion (quite a long list after reviewing the IP range 2402:1980:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 and 218.208.0.0/16). @Taivo: you may consider extend the block to a longer period A1Cafel (talk) 10:33, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
