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.

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.

He keeps uploading copyrighted screenshots of musical videos inappropriately, even after I told him not to do so on his talk on it.wiki. Every file he uploaded should be deleted for copyright reasons, and I think he should be blocked too because he's doing too much damage. RanaPirata (talk) 17:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done mass-deleted, final warning sent. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 09:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Protection request for some of my images

Someone, supposedly the owner of the car I photographed is determining to keep changing the description on the photos. He wants to remove the "TRS" in the description because it an limited edition car. I disagree because it clearly states on the back of the car that its a CX 22 TRS. Since late August I reverted the edits a total of 8 times and I feel like it won't be the last.

Please semi-protect this page indefinitely, as it is used in the code for the COM:POTY scripts and any changes will be widely visible. Thanks, Ingenuity (talk) 19:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Ingenuity,  Done. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 19:36, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
