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.

Possible vandalism

I have almost no Japanese, but https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:%E7%81%B0%E8%89%B2%E3%81%AE%E6%B5%B7&diff=prev&oldid=1079992393 looks to me like vandalism. - Jmabel ! talk 00:23, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Not sure if it is vandalism, but the message is clearly meant for Japanese Wikipedia, and not related to Commons. Tvpuppy (talk) 01:23, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Looks like Yann gave them a pretty strong warning after this request here. For the moment, that is probably all that is needed. If they upload more comparable files, then they should be blocked. - Jmabel ! talk 19:48, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Every one of the user's edits seems to be random rambling, and insults, unrelated to the media which they are editing DemieK07 (talk) 20:51, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

•  Not done edited briefly, one day, over 3 months ago. Blocks are intended as preventative rather than punitive, so in cases like this we usually just let sleeping dogs lie. - Jmabel ! talk 23:36, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
