Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Vandalism

Shortcuts: COM:ANV • COM:AVI • COM:AIV

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 ^{[new section]}	User problems ^{[new section]}	Blocks and protections ^{[new section]}	Other ^{[new section]}

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.

Reasons for reporting: Probable LTA hit private filter 263 trying to publish bio, allegedly as their second edit ever. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 08:45, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Jeff G.: Any particular reason to think LTA? That's not all that unusual a thing for a new user to think is OK. They didn't try again after you warned them. - Jmabel ! talk 21:05, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Jmabel, I left a note on the FILTERT report, they are probably not an LTA, just a case of accidental NOT violations. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 21:19, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Jmabel: Private filter for an LTA. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:02, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Jeff G.: yes, I get that, but like Alachuckthebuck I think this is a false positive. - Jmabel ! talk 02:32, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jeff G., I literally said in the FILTERT message this was a case of the filter blocking bad edits, just not the originally intended bad edits. This did not need to go to ANU, this should have been handled on FILTERT. 263 covers multiple LTAs, None of them have been active in over a year. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 03:32, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for reporting: Username implies that this is an unauthorized bot. XReport --All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 21:22, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Whereas activity suggests just a poorly chosen name, nothing botlike. And they probably didn't know this rule. Strong warning sent with instructions about changing account name. I'll check in on them in a day or two. - Jmabel ! talk 01:18, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done account name has been changed. - Jmabel ! talk 02:32, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for reporting: There's one case of blatant and likely vanton copyright infringement. File:Instalaciones de Zubieta (2025).webp was uploaded by the defendant with "own work" today. Note the file extension which is, across the board, a telltale sign for probable copyvios for experienced users here. But we also have File:Donostia-San Sebastián Zubieta Facilities 3.jpg already which is the same image. The defendant either grabbed the file directly from Commons, or from the net (https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-2023/team/1743/real-sociedad-b ) to upload it again as "own work". This is a behaviour clearly apt to harm Commons, that's why I went to the vandal report board and not to ANU. Grand-Duc (talk) 11:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I mass deleted all his uploads as copyvios. No activity after your warning and he was previously not warned, so currently no block. Taivo (talk) 09:25, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for reporting: single purpose censorship account Dronebogus (talk) 18:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done In response to a warning on their talk page they wrote, "I'm sorry if I was annoying, I just thought Nudity wasn't allowed on Commons; So and I tried to be helpful, by reporting them." Looks like their edits since then have been appropriate, so no need for admin action at this time. - Jmabel ! talk 03:10, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I closed speedily both his/her DR-s as kept. Taivo (talk) 09:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for reporting: Has uploaded copyvios after a final warning. Belbury (talk) 20:48, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Due to big number of copyvios I blocked Fiio Wiki for a month and mass deleted all his/her uploads as copyvios. Taivo (talk) 09:44, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
