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.

Full Protection: Commons:Deletion_requests/nl

Requesting full protection for Commons:Deletion_requests/nl - this translation is fully completed at 100%, but the page is indicating it's not currently protected - it says to either request protection (which I assume will be full protection, so only admins can edit it), or to remove the protection template. DaneGeld (talk) 12:28, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: when I try to protect this, it says I cannot edit that, is that because I'd need to add the translation administrator right for myself temporarily? Abzeronow (talk) 16:34, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I got the same message, although I am already translation administrator. So no idea. Sorry. Yann (talk) 17:16, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Frankincense Diala Uploading copyvios after formal warning

Frankincense Diala (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

This editor has uploaded many files, and many copyvios. They have recreated File:Dr. Adedoyin Adeleke.png almost immediately after deletion as a copyvio. They have {{Endofcopyvios}} on their talk page. A short acting, educational, preventative block ought to cause them to examine their actions 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 10:40, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done Blocked for a week. I deleted some copyvios, but I think some of the files are OK. Yann (talk) 12:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
