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: HuynhThangTS (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: clearly not here to contribute. They even removed the speedy deletion tags of their personal selfie photo, which they inserted into their self-promo page that is repeatedly recreated on viwiki XReport --Nvdtn19 (talk) 18:43, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

 Done Warned, file deleted. Let's see if they get the message. Yann (talk) 18:51, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

@Yann: I noticed they've moved to another account (HuynhThang97) and still uploading personal photos. Nvdtn19 (talk) 10:43, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

 Done Sock blocked, main account warned again. Yann (talk) 10:59, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism-only account XReport --NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 23:44, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

•  Done blocked 6 months for repeated unconstructive editing. I can't tell whether this is vandalism or incompetence, but the block is appropriate either way. If, on return, they make comparable edits, then an indef-block is certainly in order. - Jmabel ! talk 04:01, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

• User is now globally locked, I deleted most useless pages. Yann (talk) 10:51, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

User: Aradicus77 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Uploading low res musician photos from the web as own work after many past deletions and a 2023 final warning for this. Belbury (talk) 10:26, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

 Done Blocked for a week, some files deleted. Yann (talk) 10:47, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

 Done. I declined unblock request. Taivo (talk) 11:35, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism XReport --XenonX3 (talk) 13:28, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

User: ROGÉRIO DA SILVA SILVANA (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Long-term abuse. New User:Lampada centenaria ban evasion. Already reported to stewards, adding local report as he edited here. XReport --Little Sunshine (talk) 20:34, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

 Done: Indef as usual. Thanks for notifying! --Achim55 (talk) 20:40, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Blocked on enwiki as a sock in a chain that ends in Nv7401. They are already locked, so don't actually need to be blocked. Is this the right way to ask for files to be deleted or should I file requests like this somewhere else? Emk9 (talk) 20:53, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

Emk9, should all of their uploads be deleted? I cannot evaluate. --Achim55 (talk) 20:59, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

@Achim55: Based on the other recent socks (example, Flagvisioner2026) having all files deleted I assume so. I'm not super familiar with these socks but recently came across them looking for a different sock that edits similar pages. Emk9 (talk) 21:03, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

 Done: All 11 uploads deleted. --Achim55 (talk) 21:09, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

@Achim55: IMO, we should wipe all uploads by all Nv7401 socks, even if they're in use, as CSD G3. Based on previous behavior, there is a significant risk that they're hoaxes. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:38, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
