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.

• Reasons for reporting: Abuse filter hits.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:41, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

 Done indef-blocked.

I take it this was the "Jermboy" thing, which I honestly an not up on in detail, but I see that it has usually meant indef-block. If some other admin thinks I got this wrong, no need to check in with me in handling it differently. - Jmabel ! talk 05:27, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Thanks. See en:WP:LTA/Jermboy27.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 05:31, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Thanks. I was wondering, in particular, why there had never been a user called "Jermboy" but that is what everyone calls this. Now I see it was "Jermboy27". - Jmabel ! talk 17:12, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Spamming the Category:Lake Como It's already two or three years, if not more, than some IPa, many of them, are adding the Category:Lake Como everywhere, in last week there were two at least Special:Contributions/~2026-21656-63 and Special:Contributions/~2026-21266-61, now there's a new user doing the same.

 Done indef-blocked. I rolled back a fair number of their edits, someone else is welcome to continue the process. A handful of these edits were probably "good", so you might want to use some care in doing this. - Jmabel ! talk 18:09, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Nuke them

User: Nuke them (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Locked as sock of Flagvisioner, and has recreated a lot of files that have been previously deleted. Emk9 (talk) 21:54, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

 Done All files deleted, and I blocked Flagvisioner as well. Yann (talk) 22:34, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I said this on Flagvisioner's userpage but I'll also put it here. I forgot that there's various socks such as Flagvisioner2026 and Flagvisioner2025 (which are presumably impersonation attempts) and that the lock message on Nuke them likely was referring to those socks instead of Flagvisioner. My apologies for the confusion. Emk9 (talk) 23:41, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I believe that by Flagvisioner's userpage, Emk9 means User talk:Flagvisioner (their user talk page, not their "userpage".

@Yann, assuming what Emk9 now says is correct, you should not have blocked Flagvisioner. They do not appear to be the sockmaster. Also, this would make your edits to User:Flagvisioner and User:Nuke them wrong (the latter in terms of who is sockmaster). Could you unblock them and revert those edits? Or do you think I'm wrong? If I don't hear from you on this here within a few hours, I'll review this more closely and consider unblocking Flagvisioner myself. - Jmabel ! talk 00:56, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I have unblocked Flagvisioner. Yann unless you think I have this wrong, you probably owe them an apology. - Jmabel ! talk 06:41, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

OOPS. Sorry, I got confused by the similar usernames. Yann (talk) 08:16, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
