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-reports@wikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergency@wikimedia.org.

File:Constitution of the United States, page 1.jpg

[edit]

The file Constitution of the United States, page 1.jpg is often the target of nonsense edits and vandalism by IPs (see the history of the page). I have reverted the last damages.

Block request for User:游學寶寶台中南屯館

游學寶寶台中南屯館 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log Username for spam or containing advertising purposes S8321414 (talk) 01:46, 13 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Using a business name as your account name on Commons is not necessarily a violation of our account naming policy, though it would be on some sister projects. It's not obvious to me that there's anything wrong here. Their uploads appear to be exterior shots of their business, which are not obviously out of scope. I don't offhand see any particularly promotional content. - Jmabel ! talk 04:58, 13 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
No idea…But they uploaded File:Official logo of 游學寶寶台中南屯館.png and deleted.--S8321414 (talk) 05:13, 13 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Deleted as a logo above TOO, lacking VRT. Again, I think not a reason for any administrative sanction. - Jmabel ! talk 18:03, 13 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

We don't usually take administrative action against a user over FoP issues, especially if no one has explained the issues to the user on their talk page. I'm probably not familiar enough with the details of FoP in Japan to be the one to explain to them; probably best if someone who knows Japanese would reach out. - Jmabel ! talk 04:32, 14 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

User: Max-Up2568 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log

Reason for reporting: This user is a sockpuppet (Category:Sockpuppets of Saranphat chaiphet) created for block evasion, according to a sock investigation at the Thai Wikipedia. And the user has uploaded here a number of copyvio files related to Nan province, which are exactly the same files as those uploaded by the socks in the mentioned category. See also his global account information.
