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 []

@Lymantria: It appears someone came to vandalize this section in Special:Diff/1228736544.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:32, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

LongNguyen1325

Just for the record: I have blocked LongNguyen1325 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions) for 1 week for uploading copyvios (images of criminals claimed to be own work) even after a lot of warnings. After manually indentifying and tagging 17 of their uploads as copyvios, I've nuked the remaining 59 ones summarily. --Túrelio (talk) 09:08, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Please block myself

Hello, I am running a wrong command right now, and don't know how to stop. Please block me momentarily immediately, thank you. --Tototobot (talk) 09:36, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank god the command came to a halt at the 50th file, and I reverted all the edits manually. Therefore I withdraw this request. --トトト (talk) 10:09, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

 Not done, obviously. - Jmabel ! talk 00:45, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

Mzaki (talk) 11:23, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

 Comment no activity since 7 May 2026, which appears to be before any warnings were given. I don't object to a block, but I'm not sure one is needed. - Jmabel ! talk 00:51, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done. I closed a DR as deleted, but block is currently not needed. Taivo (talk) 10:53, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

COM:NOTHERE. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 12:17, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done, @Alexis Jazz: I received roughly the same thing via email, which is why I replied to the user's talk page. I deleted the reupload and now blocked the user. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 12:52, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

FWIW, I'm pretty sure those responses are organically grown word salad, not AI-generated. Not that it makes any difference in the end, of course. Omphalographer (talk) 22:22, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done. Here block is needed. All contributions are already deleted. Taivo (talk) 10:46, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Semi-protect Category:CommonsRoot

Can an admin please semi-protect Category:CommonsRoot? Since November last year, the page has been unintentionally edited by newcomers at least once per month. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 00:49, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

"Unintentional" is a bit too nice (Special:History/Category:CommonsRoot) Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 03:25, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Already limited to autoconfirmed. Should this be raised to something higher? - Jmabel ! talk 04:58, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Apologies, didn't realise it is semi-protected already. I agree it should then raised to autropatrol-protected. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 09:12, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
