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.

User: PickUp-10026444-413 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log

Reason for reporting: Apparently a sockpuppet (Category:Sockpuppets of Saranphat chaiphet) created for block evasion, because (1) the user uploaded copyvio files related to Nan province, which are exactly the same files as those uploaded by the socks in the mentioned category, and (2) the username is similar to those in the mentioned category, such as PickUp1994 (talk · contribs), PickUp412 (talk · contribs), Pickup9386 (talk · contribs), PickUp-Max2024 (talk · contribs), etc, which indicates their relationship.

Dharshan Karthikeyan (talk · contribs) has been uploading images of Indian television show title screens which have all been deleted. I've left them warnings here and a message on their en wiki talk page as well. They've continued today, uploading the same title screen image that's been deleted three times already. See Special:Log/Dharshan_Karthikeyan. Ravensfire (talk) 12:34, 31 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

✓ Done Blocked for a week, last file deleted. Yann (talk) 12:41, 31 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Request autoconfirmed protection for File:Primäres System.png

[edit]

Although the volume isn't high, most of the edits on this image are either from vandalism or reverting vandalism. Likely a target due to its use in Category:Systems. Please let me know if this is below the threshold of protection so I can keep future requests in mind. Thanks, --Stux (talk) 22:35, 31 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

✓ Done. 3 years autopatroller-level protection. Semi-protection was not enough, because some vandals were old users with a lot of edits (now indefinitely blocked anyway). Taivo (talk) 09:18, 1 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

✓ Done. Full protection is not needed. Auropatroller-protection is enough. Taivo (talk) 09:23, 2 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
