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.

Speedy close on a DR?

Would anyone object to a speedy close on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Donald Trump (40238321295).jpg? Image appears to me to be useful only for vandalism; I personally have removed it from 3 articles in 2 different wikis, and I gather others have been having to do the same. I already voted, so I'm probably not the one to make the close. - Jmabel ! talk 16:56, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel: I'm neutral if it is in scope or not however I wonder why it should be speedy closed, there are number of other digital caricatures in Category:Caricatures of Donald Trump e.g. File:Donald Trump - Caricature (23414300891).jpg already here since 2018 and never nominated for deletion. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:21, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, it can float, but it remains the case that it is has been used literally dozens of times for vandalistic purposes. - Jmabel ! talk 00:51, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  I would propose to rename the file, to enable vandalism checks more easily when the photo is used. For instance into "retouched photo of Trump as clown". Ellywa (talk) 16:19, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Ellywa: your suggested renaming, should one do it while the DR is open or only when it gets closed? I'd suggest the following filename: "Donald Trump - retouched with digitally applied clown make-up.jpg". Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  @Grand-Duc - you can do the renaming any time I think, please make a note on the DR that the image is renamed, although they will find the redirect of course, which should be kept imho. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 21:48, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The request got votes pro and contra. Speedy close is not needed, problem is not critical. Taivo (talk) 17:19, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recent users causing file issues related to football

These users have similar names and are causing file issues related to football (w:simple:Special:Diff/10083274). Should we request CU? MathXplore (talk) 12:43, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MathXplore: Yes, please. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:51, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, the users are confirmed at simplewiki CU (w:simple:Special:Diff/10084629). MathXplore (talk) 05:42, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Behavioral evidence was more than enough here. All three accounts and their master are now blocked and the uploads are nuked as copyvios. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:26, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Although the user was not warned previously, I decided to block him/her for a month due to vandalistic uploads. Taivo (talk) 10:42, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also this user seems to use Commons as personal webhost. All files should be checked. Yann (talk) 17:51, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for reporting: Sock of User:Matlin, mass Flickr uploads using Flickr2Commons without placing any categories A1Cafel (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will add categories I checked the box to add them but it didnt thank you Domzalee (talk) 17:42, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening, I am adding categories now. I did not know this was happening! Nobody telled me before. I am finding the tools very buggy and I am doing my best job on contributing. Domzalee (talk) 19:24, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Being responsive here is not a common thing that Matlin will do, so I think this user is not Matlin. --A1Cafel (talk) 02:33, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done @A1Cafel: I picked four at random to look at. They all appeared to be in scope and categories may not have been great, but were reasonable for a relatively inexperienced user. This is certainly not vandalism. If you think there is something in particular to be improved, you should probably discuss it with the user, a lot more specifically than saying it's bad. - Jmabel ! talk 19:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
