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.

Block Stalker0002

Any admin please block User:Stalker0002. He is continuously uploading copyvios. Earlier also he was blocked for 7 days.--Junior Jumper (talk) 17:20, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done. 3 months block (second block). I will delete all his/her uploads as copyvios. Taivo (talk) 11:19, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Robotinator1994 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user VOA account. Likely GMatteoti. Geoffroi 21:00, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

 note I've gone and massrollbacked the whole account, Will continue to monitor until blocked/locked. Have you reported to SRG? All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 21:11, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you and yes. Geoffroi 21:22, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the case and I can't work out the nature of the supposed vandalism here, so I'm not comfortable doing a long-term block myslf. I've put on a 3-day precautionary block so Alachuckthebuck can at least catch up with the rollbacks and presumably some admin who is familiar with the GMatteoti case can change this to a long-term block. - Jmabel ! talk 05:28, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

File rename requests like this on widely used files is something I've seen a lot from GMatteotti. A rename request to File:File is vandalism that he knows a filemover or admin will notice. He usually does the rename requests after he's gotten a decent number of edits out of his sock. Geoffroi 05:52, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Not sure this is GMatteotti, but this account is indef blocked at en.wiki as well. Geoffroi 06:03, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Oh, yeah, I've encountered that guy before, didn't recognize the name, and the few edits I checked looked innocent. I'll make this an indef block.

 Done - Jmabel ! talk 06:30, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

& rolled back anything that was a current version. I did not look to see if someone may have edited downstream of Grüünkohl and left the bad edit in place. - Jmabel ! talk 21:42, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
