Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections

Shortcuts: COM:AN/B • COM:AN/P • COM:RFPP

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 ^{[new section]}	User problems ^{[new section]}	Blocks and protections ^{[new section]}	Other ^{[new section]}
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.

AetherisGov

AetherisGov (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user re-uploaded images that were out of scope and possible COM:NETCOPYVIOs. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 01:44, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The images are created by me. The don't have copyrights! AetherisGov (talk) 01:49, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the suspicion of copyright violations do not come true, the fact remains that this stuff is out of scope. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 02:18, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is not out of scope.

These isn't from the Aetheris Game, but the flag and the Coat of Arms of the micronation "Republic of Aetheris" AetherisGov (talk) 02:21, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That sure sounds out of scope to me. - Jmabel ! talk 03:48, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Already done We don't need to block them on Commons if they are already globally locked. For searching sockpuppets, please fill a request for checkuser with evidence. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:32, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protection request for File:Coat of arms of Syria (2024–present) variation goldenrod.svg and File:Coat of arms of Syria (2024–present) variation golden.svg

Remove protection request for File:Jose B. Lingad.jpg

Hello everyone may I request to remove the protection from editing for the photo of Jose B. Lingad on Wikimedia Commons. Thank you!!! Toniker0501 (talk) 14:44, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Toniker0501: It depends. Does this mean you will refrain from trying to get the file deleted? - Jmabel ! talk 15:53, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Toniker0501: You don't have to use it. File:Jose Bulaon Lingad.jpg is clear, and used on a bunch of wikis. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:12, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
