Shortcut: COM:AN

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.

Admin actions needed for Picture of the Year

Per the discussion at Commons_talk:Picture_of_the_Year, we're switching to new scripts for this year's contest. As a result, ~1000 pages created using the old scripts will need to be deleted; all of the pages at this link. (cc @AntiCompositeNumber: ) Thanks, Ingenuity (talk) 13:49, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AntiCompositeNumber: could you also take a look at my three interface-edit requests (here, here, and here)? Ingenuity (talk) 18:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the ping has not worked or been forgotten so pinging again : AntiCompositeNumber could you please implement the 3 edit requests linked by Ingenuity ? -- Giles Laurent (talk) 07:40, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal IDs

There were huge vandal IDs were blocked from ta.wiki and some there are blocked in Commons and you may find some CheckUsers at Meta. There are one and two. Same user's another ID which is blocked in ta.wiki continues here. Related IDs and all are blocked in ta.wiki some might missed: AntanO2, Chilli Soonyam, Dhairya Notosri, Naughty Nightingale, Neha Xorg, Neoshine, Neoshine K.Sreeram Official, Sanuthi Aahidya, Sanuthi Linux, Selvasivagurunathan m2, Shanvika Drake, Sridhar G1, Ubishini, Urmila Pardus, VAW 2404, Veraswini, Wikishini, க.சிறீராம், பவி தமிழ். Admin can take proper action including on uploads. Note: I do not notify the user since it is pure vandal with vulgar words. Antan O 14:03, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The latest ID is SreeramKalyan (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) --Antan O 14:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would help if you could make a list of accounts existing on Commons. Yann (talk) 18:26, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the full list of same user/s who engage in vandal and vulgar language use since February. So many IPs too that were blocked in ta.wiki. Some IDs are imitating as sysop user & bot IDs in ta.wiki.

None of the first four are registered on Commons. Are any of these registered on Commons? - Jmabel ! talk 17:24, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to Quarry, I narrowed them down to:

Deletion of self promoting user pages

There are currently many deletion requests for user pages where new users introduce themself is relatively long texts. The users made no other contributions to Commons. I would suggest that we wait one week before deleting the user page to give the user time to contribute to Commons in a way that justifies such a user page. GPSLeo (talk) 05:25, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, In many cases, it is quite obvious that the user only interest is self-promotion. Unfortunately, Commons and Wikipedia are victims of their success. Everybody now wants to have they name and their picture on our projects. Yann (talk) 06:49, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If they are active on another WMF wiki I'd cut them a lot of slack. If not, no. - Jmabel ! talk 17:24, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Identity confused

File:Hasan Sabry-pasha.jpg

This image has been confused with Hassan Sabry Pasha, it actually belongs to Hussein Sabri Pasha. I already changed the caption to "Hussein sabri" instead and edited its sources that clearly shows it's Hussein Sabri and not Hassan.

Alexandria Sporting club
Alexandria Governorate official Site
Al Musawr Magazine here where the original picture comes from, in the caption it says "His Sa'ada Hussein Sabri, governor of Alexandria"

Request for Massmessages | Questionnaire for photographers

Hello! I have a request from the Heritage Guard Network project team. We'd like to send an invitation to participants of WLE and WLM photocontests to fill out the form about the safety of the photographers.

Here's text of the message, and here's the list of receivers. Thanks a lot! OlesiaLukaniuk (WMUA) (talk) 15:51, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Working. @OlesiaLukaniuk (WMUA): Your signature should be used, meaning the message should be in your name, right? -- CptViraj (talk) 15:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do I understand correctly from the radio buttons at the bottom of the survey that this questionnaire is not open to people who routinely do this sort of photography but are not inclined to enter contests? There is no option to say that you have not participated in either WLE or WLM. - Jmabel ! talk 18:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The survey is mostly targeted for WLE\WLM participants. But your point is also make sense, so I added another option in the form. Thanks! OlesiaLukaniuk (WMUA) (talk) 12:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, my signature can be used. OlesiaLukaniuk (WMUA) (talk) 12:09, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sent. -- CptViraj (talk) 15:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
