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: Keeps requesting files for renaming, although they are declined. Uploads the same files in the title they want, removes redirects from moved files, and keeps doing that, after warnings and other thing, by multiple file movers. This person is a threat to Wikimedia Commons, and file movers have their hands full.. Maybe a short block will change their mind? Inertia6084 (talk) (talk) 14:36, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

@Inertia6084: I see that a fair number of the changes involve disagreement over the name of a person portrayed in an image, and it is very hard for me (or anyone not involved) from what you have written here to quickly determine if they are usually wrong. You don't provide any diffs at all, and this is about a pretty active editor. This does not seem to be simple vandalism, and I strongly suggest that instead of taking this up here at COM:AN/V you take it to COM:AN/U, and inform Pal-lon-cin that you are filing the complaint. - Jmabel ! talk 18:21, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jmabel: - It's about changing the language with file moving. That's declined multiple times, on multiple files. Then he uploads the same file(s) under his (their) wanted name. Also removes redirects from file moving, which have to be restored by filemovers or others. I'm not the only one who has these problems. I have more things to do, so if you don't see it, than I leave it to the others, although it's possible, my last warning helped. Also @Ysabella: reverted a lot of things! - Inertia6084 (talk) (talk) 18:31, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the mention. I'm not entirely sure what the user's intention is, but I don't think he actually wants to vandalize, because there are also some good and useful edits. However, the last ones around Category:Abraham Louis Breguet were extremely time-consuming and could have been used more sensibly. איז「Ysa」 • For love letters and other notes 23:49, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

They doesn't listen, renaming requests have to be rejected again. Got also has redirects deleted, even though I explained them that we don't do that if the file is used in other projects, possibly even outside of Wikipedia. Should at least be made aware of the rules by an administrator. איז「Ysa」 • For love letters and other notes 16:19, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: self-exposer (see [maybe deleted] uploads), copyright violator, no meaningful contributions could be reasonably expected. Grand-Duc (talk) 02:37, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

 Done Although I had deleted all of their uploads earlier in the morning. I was a little hesistant in issuing a block, but it does appear that they are not here to build. Gone now. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 06:56, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
