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.

Reason for reporting: Inappropriate username XReport ----Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 14:43, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

@Hedwig in Washington: I warned this user for copyright violations, but what is inappropriate in their username? Yann (talk) 17:41, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Yann: it was found to be inappropriate on two Wikipedia sections, per block logs.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 18:53, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

But Commons, unlike (e.g.) en-wiki, does not have a blanket policy against organizational names as usernames. - Jmabel ! talk 19:16, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Which reason to report is a toss up. Spam, advertising only, inappropriate username? In the end it doesn't matter, the outcome is the same. In this case all three could have been used. If that is wanted, I'm happy to oblige the next time. Cheers, --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 01:57, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

 Done. User is now warned, all uploads deleted. Next time block. Taivo (talk) 12:15, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: This user uploaded many copyrighted files from Flickr and nominated them for deletion himself. Sysops need to take action, such as deleting these files, etc. XReport --Hehua (talk) 01:48, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: LTA, the Chilean IP address and similar snark on DRs makes this likely to be the same IP vandal I reported last month. applecuckoo (he/him) 01:56, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Copyvio after final warning. File:Simone Ehivet Gbagbo en 2025.jpg was deleted as a copyvio on the 17th and the user given a final copyvio warning; the next day they uploaded File:Simone Gbagbo en 2025.jpg, a crop of the same image. Belbury (talk) 15:08, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

 Done. Considering a lot of bad and no good uploads, I blocked Timeo for a month. Taivo (talk) 15:24, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism, for example Special:Diff/1076925600, Special:Diff/1076925749, Special:Diff/1076925933 (these were reverted by me). Alexey Vazhnov (talk) 18:17, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

 Done Blocked for a week. Yann (talk) 19:13, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Is it possible to revert all the changes automatically? Alexey Vazhnov (talk) 20:19, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Not all of their edits are wrong. E.g. [1]. So I'd hesitate to do a mass rollback. Someone needs to go through these and look. - Jmabel ! talk 21:02, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
