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-reports@wikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergency@wikimedia.org.

Jekarran[edit]

User: Jekarran (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log
Reason for reporting: Posted a long-winded diatribe attacking Jess Wade immediately after registering. An obvious behavior match for AttackTheMoonNow. Will be requesting a lock on SRG shortly. SamX [talk · contribs] 04:42, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Done. User is globally locked and I closed the DR as kept. Taivo (talk) 09:36, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have now identified the master (as AttackTheMoonNow is not registered here) and created a sockpuppet category. Taivo (talk) 17:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

125.230.86.130[edit]

User: 125.230.86.130 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log
Reason for reporting: changing categories to wrong categories Wouter (talk) 16:35, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The user is high speed changing categories. Wouter (talk) 18:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The user created for example Category:People with metal objects and changed Category:People with objects to Category:People with metal objects in 7 categories.
I checked some other changes. On reflection, it is not vandalism, just that sometimes I have a different opinion. I was alarmed by a change I disagreed with and the fact that the (new) user made 234 changes in 3.5 hours. Wouter (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Wouterhagens: so no admin action needed? - Jmabel ! talk 02:21, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Indeed no action needed. Thanks Wouter (talk) 10:13, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
