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: Weird rambling on multiple photos. NOTHERE. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contribs)} 21:57, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

 Done Previously blocked in January for the same behavior, so this is a stable IP. Blocked for a year this time. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:41, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

 Done. Although the user was not warned previously, I decided to block him/her for a month due to vandalistic uploads. Taivo (talk) 10:42, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Also this user seems to use Commons as personal webhost. All files should be checked. Yann (talk) 17:51, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Sock of User:Matlin, mass Flickr uploads using Flickr2Commons without placing any categories A1Cafel (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

I will add categories I checked the box to add them but it didnt thank you Domzalee (talk) 17:42, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Good evening, I am adding categories now. I did not know this was happening! Nobody telled me before. I am finding the tools very buggy and I am doing my best job on contributing. Domzalee (talk) 19:24, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Being responsive here is not a common thing that Matlin will do, so I think this user is not Matlin. --A1Cafel (talk) 02:33, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

 Not done @A1Cafel: I picked four at random to look at. They all appeared to be in scope and categories may not have been great, but were reasonable for a relatively inexperienced user. This is certainly not vandalism. If you think there is something in particular to be improved, you should probably discuss it with the user, a lot more specifically than saying it's bad. - Jmabel ! talk 19:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
