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.

This user has repeatedly uploaded copyrighted images of Sri Lankan politicians - see their talk page. They have ignored warnings not to upload copyrighted images. Request admins take action. Obi2canibe (talk) 11:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Repeated copyright violations and uploading files without sources despite repeated notifications and requests on talk page with no engagement from the user. Most of their content looks like it may need to be deleted as well. Takerlamar (talk) 21:09, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

This user has contributed nothing but copyright violations since May 2023. After I nominated File:KSerna.png for deletion as a blatant copyright violation, the user uploaded the same image as File:Serna.png, just with a slightly different crop. That is beyond cheeky. Nothing good can come from a user who has had 18 months of warnings not to upload other people's photographs of footballers and pass them off as "own work".
