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.

Aryan Gadil

User: Aryan Gadil (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: All changes are complete nonsense and have nothing to do with the respective image content. Is there a way to reset all changes at once, e.g. via script? Stepro (talk) 03:44, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Undoing such edits can't not easily be done at once, but quite fast by relying on COM:Rollback. I've done that and also warned the user. Well, I'm not an admin, so a second (A) pair of eyes should also check. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 04:03, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

@Stepro Yes, there's a script. See m: User:Dragoniez/Selective Rollback. Nvdtn19 (talk) 03:25, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, that sounds very useful. Stepro (talk) 03:59, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

IsraelHikingMap

User: IsraelHikingMap (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Uploaded a trolling image

File in question: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IHM_Ashurian_fortress.jpeg

Note the title and the description are clear vandalism and unrelated to the content of the image.

Context: This was uploaded via Israel Hiking Map. Israel Hiking Map is an interface which, among other things, allows users to upload photos to Wikimedia Commons and link them to OpenStreetMap objects. This user used that interface to upload vandalism to both IHM and wikimedia Commons. The affected OSM node is https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/824101267 . The problematic upstream user is https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Joast ~2025-35763-08 (talk) 08:00, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Partially  Done: File:IHM Ashurian fortress.jpeg deleted, no action against User:IsraelHikingMap as it seems to be some kind of role account. --Achim55 (talk) 10:29, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you @Achim55 for removing the image. The offending OSM edit has been reverted and a note was sent to the problematic upstream user. IsraelHikingMap (talk) 12:17, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

@IsraelHikingMap: So, if you don't vet these before upload to Commons, how is this not effectively an open proxy? - Jmabel ! talk 18:33, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

The images are uploaded to Wikimedia after being associated with an OSM element and its other properties, including classification and geographical information. In this case, an Assyrian Fortress --IsraelHikingMap (talk) 21:02, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

I understand that, but if anyone can add images there and perform that classification, etc., how does this not become an open proxy for people to make uploads to Commons (as obviously someone did here)? - Jmabel ! talk 22:38, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

Presumably related to Special:Diff/1120920686. In short, this appears to have been a response to me threatening them with a block. I suppose that given that they have now embroiled me in this, I should not block them myself. Jmabel ! talk 01:44, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done I have no such qualms. Blocked until 2026. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:50, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

And also blocked indefinitely per COM:NPLT, concurrent with the block until 1/1/26 for vandalism. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:52, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

I would hope Special:Diff/1121169240 is sufficient to take away talk page access (personal attack on The Squirrel Conspiracy). I suppose this should be done by someone other than TSC or me. - Jmabel ! talk 19:03, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

If they are not registered here, we can't block them here. However, you can go to meta:M:SRG and request a global lock. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 19:42, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

They are registered. Three deleted uploads (though just for lack of permission, no indication of vandalistic intent). - Jmabel ! talk 20:45, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Spam is also vandalistic intent. There is no need for this kind of images Special:ListFiles/Negerboi. The user is obviously a fan boy of this porn star and just spreads this meaningless images here for his personal fun. Alabasterstein (talk) 21:08, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

You are free to nominate them for regular deletion then. However File:Agatha Vega 1.png is in use, and therefore is automatically in scope. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 19:41, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, but this images here Special:ListFiles/Negerboi are totally out of scope. Alabasterstein (talk) 21:06, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Well,  Info. I'm personally totally not amused by that kind of nick and just contacted the oversighters, as I feel like the reported user logged something as username that is perhaps liable for suppression under point 4 of m:Oversight_policy#Policy. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 20:28, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

@Alabasterstein: if and when the oversighters do something, it'll make easier for them if others avoid repeating the offending nickname over and over. (That's why I'll remove the automatic summary too, as it contains the nick too). Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 21:16, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Okay. I didn't intend to repeat the name and I won't do it again. However, some participants in this discussion apparently don't understand what kind of image spam the user mentioned here has committed. And spam is, by definition, vandalism. Alabasterstein (talk) 21:19, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
