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: Vandalism. Bullying / x-wiki-vandalism XReport --NDG (talk) 13:10, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

@NDG: I see one now-deleted image, which you marked as "out of project scope" and "vandalism" and which GPSLeo deleted, but I don't readily see how this is vandalism, and "out of scope" is not a reason for speedy deletion, let alone disciplinary action against a user. What am I missing? - Jmabel ! talk 18:14, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Please check the x-wiki edits. NDG (talk) 18:21, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

I don't read Dutch or Afrikaans. If you can't explain what is happening and how it is related to Commons, this will have to wait for someone with more context than I have.

If all this is is bad conduct on other wikis, then unless/until the user is globally locked, it is not Commons' affair. And I still don't see how that photo was vandalism. - Jmabel ! talk 19:04, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

The opload was made to bully a co-student, the new articles on barwiki and the other edits show that. But let's just wait for the global lock. NDG (talk) 19:14, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

@Jmabel and @NDG: Account has globally locked. Fyi. Kadı Message 23:15, 16 December 2025 (UTC)

Sorry @The Squirrel Conspiracy I just saw that you already blocked Koblenmr7. I would suggest to block User:Einfach machen Hamburg (paid edit account) and User:Atomiccocktail too. NDG (talk) 16:14, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Einfach machen Hamburg is stale.

I recommend you go to Meta:Steward requests/Global and try to get the accounts globally locked, as the problematic activity is happening on other projects.

The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 16:34, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll consider that after a ban on dewiki. NDG (talk) 16:35, 18 December 2025 (UTC)
