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.

Caxaya2376

User: Caxaya2376 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Spam only account, see filter log XReport --Seawolf35 (talk) 14:38, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done. User is warned, the only upload deleted. Currently that's enough. Taivo (talk) 08:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Fghi-blog

User: Fghi-blog (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Another spammer. XReport --Seawolf35 (talk) 16:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done. User is warned, all uploads deleted. Currently that's enough. Taivo (talk) 08:51, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Possible abuse by User:Elcobbola for blocking User:hetupeahelandia and claiming that it was a "sockpuppet" of User:Pricehissam

He blocked Hetupeahelandia (talk · contribs) for being "sockpuppet" of User:Pricehissam without proper evidence Melaza1978 (talk) 03:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done. This is checkuser block, so the evidence is not public. Also I blocked Melaza indefinitely as obvious sockpuppet as well. Taivo (talk) 08:56, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

@Taivo: Thanks!   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:22, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

For posterity, sockpuppetry by Hetupeahelandia is indeed Confirmed, and one does not even need CU tools to find evidence; for example:

• 03:25, 7 May 2024 - Princekingbest2011 uploads File:SuperCat Sprint 1.jpg;
• 03:26, 7 May 2024 - Hetupeahelandia adds it to w:Supercat Fast Ferry Corporation;
• 03:09, 7 May 2024 - Princekingbest2011 uploads File:St camael.jpg;
• 03:30, 7 May 2024 - Hetupeahelandia adds it to w:Supercat Fast Ferry Corporation. Эlcobbola _talk 14:20, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/CimiAnderson (possible block evasion of Special:Contributions/Masahiro007)

Dear admins, please have a look at their edits. They are related to Swift Xi/Engineering, as well as their previous accounts in Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Masahiro007 and Special:Contributions/MasaMukai3. I have checked the edits in other wikis, they are related to Swift Xi/Engineering and the Matsushita family (w:simple:The Matsushita Institute of Government and Management, w:Draft:The Matsushita Institute of Government and Management) as well as the previous accounts. Please also see w:simple:Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Archive21#Accounts_related_to_T-ICU and w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Masahiro007/Archive. Thank you for your attention. MathXplore (talk) 07:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done Obvious sock, one file deleted, and Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Masahiro007‎. Yann (talk) 14:10, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

!0youcaneasilyaccessmyusernameinthelist0!

User: !0youcaneasilyaccessmyusernameinthelist0! (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Repeated vandalism, [1], [2], [3]. User was already warned on his user discussion page. Zinnmann (talk) 09:06, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done as VOA. Also COM:IU. Yann (talk) 09:14, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Fenraan

User: Fenraan (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: All of his multiple contributions have been uploads of personal images used to vandalize enwiki, where he is now blocked as a VOA. Air on White (talk) 21:11, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

• Comment My previous post is not completely accurate: only his later uploaded images were used to vandalize enwiki, but he has still repeatedly reuploaded CSD'd images (or images similar to them) despite warnings. Air on White (talk) 21:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. User stopped after warnings. All contributions are deleted. Taivo (talk) 08:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Semmethbenjamin

• User: Semmethbenjamin (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
• Reasons for reporting: Only spam vandalism and a complaint about not being able to perpetrate it. Sock of Benjamin Sem (talk · contributions · Statistics).   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Both are globally locked. Taivo (talk) 08:22, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
