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.

Ruiqiang (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

Ruiqiang appears to be here solely to upload copyright-violating images of the Shenyang J-35; they have done this multiple times and (appear to, as I cannot see deleted contributions) have no other edits except to this subject. - The Bushranger (talk) 21:59, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done. All uploads are deleted, user is blocked (copyvio after warning). Taivo (talk) 15:30, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

A new sock of Luca.ramos1 is trying to recreate copyvio files. Original block: User:Luca.ramos1. 0x0a (talk) 03:32, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

A new sock of Worvandae, Musée Annam, who like Category:Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam than Category:Tết Trung Thu as [1], [2] and tried to maintain both. --Henrydat (talk) 11:44, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Partly done. Indef-blocked. I don't have the combination of time & knowledge to do the cleanup here, though, so someone else will need to take that on. - Jmabel ! talk`

I deleted speedily multiple photos due to lack of freedom of panorama in source country Vietnam. Taivo (talk) 08:46, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

• User continued to upload low quality nude photo despite warnings.

A1Cafel (talk) 02:41, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done indef-blocked. I presume the existing DR will result in deleting the photos. - Jmabel ! talk 07:34, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Block evasion sock of Yahachy (talk · contribs), confirmed at en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Yahachy. 0x0a (talk) 06:05, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done indef-blocked sock. Lengthened Yahachy's block for sockpuppeting. - Jmabel ! talk 07:38, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

File:Standing sexual intercourse.webm

Needs indefinite protection against IP/new account editing due to constant addition of needlessly pornographic text in the description Dronebogus (talk) 08:53, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done --Yann (talk) 08:58, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Isn't the timed text equally a problem? That also reads as rather pornographic to me. - Jmabel ! talk 18:28, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Sockpuppets of Jagdeep singh bittu, as per investigation at en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Deepcruze. 0x0a (talk) 07:30, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Accounts blocked. Not saying "done" because further action may be needed, I'm not familiar enough with what the issues are likely to be on this particular user. - Jmabel ! talk 19:10, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Often the issues here are they upload images from Youtube videos that are not tagged with a compatible license, or images that they find online about celebrities that they claim are their own work and pretty obviously are not. They do upload images that appear to be valid (meta data from a mobile device). The unabashed nature of the bad faith uploads tends to make me suspicious of almost everything they upload though.
