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.

 Done: I left a warning on their tp. Should be blocked if that behavior continues. Might be a school IP (no proof). --Achim55 (talk) 16:26, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

This is a sock of GMatteotti. Geoffroi 20:07, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Really? @Geoffroi: does GMatteotti do outright vandalism like Special:Diff/1124781169?

Anyway, blocking as vandal.

 Done - Jmabel ! talk 20:43, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Hitting a file like File:Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodgers, 1954.jpg, a featured image that's widely used, is something I've seen with just about every GMatteotti sock. I've seen some pure vandalism edits like the above when someone's reverting him or when he wants attention faster and easier. I would expect him to have at least 20+ sleepers on Telecom Italia and likely more via vpn or scraped proxies, so he's got plenty of accounts to burn. I can't say for sure it's him without checkuser help, but a single account vandal doesn't start off editing an abuse filter as this account did. Geoffroi 22:26, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

GMatteotti may also be sophisticated enough to game vandalism methods or imitate other LTAs to confuse sock identification. Geoffroi 22:35, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

@CFA: Is it known whether or not Yummie1207 is a sock of Wikinger? Geoffroi 20:15, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

No, I don't think they are. Yummie1207 is (presumably) Vietnamese, while Wikinger is Polish. They do, however, like to impersonate each other. I have heard someone claim that Yummie1207 and ChanComThemPho (who is likewise Vietnamese) are the same person, but I don't believe that to be true either. C F A 20:27, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

He's a Polish LTA with a German name who I've seen taunt people in German and Polish, who speaks English #2 at least, and who does pretty well on the Asian wikis. This, socks like CHInese TAInted and ZhongguoZhizao, and pages like ja:Wikipedia:進行中の荒らし行為/長期/ヨット suggest to me that Wikinger works with other LTAs sharing sleepers and methods and/or runs multiple LTA accounts himself.

Reason for reporting: That account looks like the LTA naming pattern of Wikimedian vs. LTA, LTA wins that was active the last weeks. Furthermore, they posted in Special:Diff/1124163354/1124163425 an edit truly in bad taste. User:Infrogmation told me to bring it to an admin board - I'm asking for a REVDEL of the summary. The abuser quoted the caption of a WW1 postcard and added something own. HEIL UND SIEG und GUTE BEUTE! [this is the actual card caption] - NUR KAISERREICH 1914-1918, KEIN WEIMAR 1919-1945 [the LTA addition] translates as: Hail and victory and good catch! Only Empire 1914-1918, no Weimar 1919-1945 [meaning: Weimar Republic, GD]. It's an evident allusion to some historical revisionism, I think. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 23:51, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

@IronGargoyle: I saw you in the recent changes (and you've got DE-1 according to Babel). The reported user is rampaging around on my and Infrogmation's talk page. Could you please stop them? Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 00:31, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Looks like someone already globally locked the accounts. I REVDELed the summaries. IronGargoyle (talk) 00:41, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

@IronGargoyle: there's another sock, Special:Contributions/MinhVN123_s*cks,_Vermont_rocks, with the same summary. Can you delete them too, please? Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 00:59, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
