Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Vandalism

Shortcuts: COM:ANV • COM:AVI • COM:AIV

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.

Kematen

made minor corrections of file:Bezirke Österreich Kennzeichen nach Bundesländern.jpg and saved it as own work under a new name ignoring all the file users, making a simple description only, no categories at all; at last changed the file name on de:wp Kontrollstellekundl (talk) 13:19, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kontrollstellekundl: Kematen does not appear ever to have edited File:Bezirke Österreich Kennzeichen nach Bundesländern.jpg. I take it you are saying they derived some other file from that, but without any link to that file or the relevant change on de-wiki, you are asking someone to do a bunch of detective work to understand your complaint. Please be specific with links/diffs. - Jmabel ! talk 22:38, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Special:ListFiles/Kematen does not show any relevant files for the complaint, IMHO, and neither do the contribs on DE-WP, as far as I can see. I think that some confusion may lie at the root of this report. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 02:56, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

the file Kematen saved under a new name (Bezirke Österreich Kennzeichen nach Bundesländern 2025.jpg) has already been deleted! I saved his changes on the original file as you could see. Kontrollstellekundl (talk) 15:25, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: Thanks, and you're welcome. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:05, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G.: I noticed odd reupload by this user as well yesterday. While I acknowledge that their actions were at best suspicious, I also notice that you apparently do this again. You apparently made this report as well as lock request only because the user posted at Commons talk:Abuse filter, not because of what was actually problematic about their contributions. You apparently again jumped the gun only based on a filter hit while you don't see what this filter hit is actually about. It may have been the LTA user that given filter targets but more likely it wasn't. 2001:7D0:81C2:5980:105C:F52B:C04C:E9E3 08:36, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for reporting: Vandalized FIFA Nations/Canada-Mexico-United States 2026 thinking some countries are qualified despite the fact that thr qualification is not complete yet SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 16:03, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SpinnerLaserzthe2nd: this does not look like vandalism to me, and nothing so far looks like it calls for administrative action; most likely, it looks like a user being wrong about something, and no one having meaningfully engaged them. You've twice reverted them with no edit summary and without commenting either on the relevant discussion page or their user talk page. From their point of view, how are they supposed to know you aren't the one vandalizing? Address the user one way or another and let them know the issue with their edits. Then if they persist there might be an administrative issue. - Jmabel ! talk 20:21, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 22:25, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
