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.

@Jeff G. What exactly is the abuse? Special:Diff/867920106 doesn't seem abusive to me, unless I'm missing something... —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:56, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mdaniels5757: It's a blocked user making an edit that is not an unblock request, and in this case still trying to get the file deleted.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 18:59, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the edit they've made as abusive at all; I don't think TPA should be revoked at this time. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:03, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Blocked users can make other kind of edits on their talkpage as well, as long as they are not vandalistic/disruptive. Taivo (talk) 09:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mdaniels5757, Taivo, and Yann: This is part of a pattern of continued sockpuppetry by TUTRA PAHARI TEMPLE (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  to try to get File:Tutra Pahari Temple,Goremara.jpg deleted without a valid reason, nearly two years after upload.

 Not done for now. I don't see the username as implying intent to spam. You tagged the files {{Npd}}. If the user grants permission, the account can be verified, and then the username is OK (see COM:UPOL#Organizations). If they don't grant permission, but don't edit further, a block is unnecessary. But if the account is not verified and they continue editing, feel free to come back. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:25, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with ransom-ware pop-up

When I was last working within a wikimedia-project (Tuesday, April 16) a ransomware page popped up and closed my computer down. Perhaps something to check on. I have been informing the police and let computer specialists check through my computer. As they told me, they found a so-called mole and removed it. - Just wanted to let you know.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 12:52, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt this is related to Commons (it could just be that you had a virus, and it chose to initiate an attack right as Commons was open by coincidence). If you 100% think this is Wikimedia's fault somehow you can contact the system administrators, though I doubt the Wikimedia servers are infected and the virus can bypass your browser's protections. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 17:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello colleagues. I am writing to you with a translation program. I don't know other wikipedia users who uploaded Emil Musayev's photo. It is true that I also uploaded a file years ago. But I don't remember what were the shortcomings. Araz Yaquboglu (talk) 07:54, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Quayshires

Quayshires (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 

In Jan/Feb 2024, uploader was given "final" warning, subject to AN/B discussion and was blocked for a week for repeated uploading of copyright/non-free materials. In Mar/Apr 2024, uploader was again given a related warning and yet has continued to upload clearly non-free materials. After that (renewed) warning. Longer (or perhaps permanent) block may be required. Guliolopez (talk) 20:25, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked for a month, all copyvios deleted. Other files are probably too simple to get a copyright. Yann (talk) 20:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lower protection of File:Flag of Virginia.svg and File:Seal of Virginia.svg

These two SVGs have been protected to admin only since last December, due to issues with back and forth reversions. I've been working on an update that I hope (fingers crossed) will address most of the complaints. I posted the link to it on the discussion page at File talk:Flag of Virginia.svg two weeks ago, looking for comments, and directly pinged participants last week when I didn't get any feedback. Per the advice of admin Mdaniels5757, who protected the files, I've waited another week, but would like to be able to update these two files now. Can an admin reduce the level of protection on these two SVGs? Perhaps to either extended or autoconfirmed users? Thanks all -- Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk 23:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
