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 []	User problems []	Blocks and protections []	Other []
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.

Telepaws

User: Telepaws (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Reuploading File:Mohammad amin bazzaz sole feet.jpg, a file previously uploaded by Milfbar (talk · contributions · Statistics) and Indiaawik (talk · contributions · Statistics), both blocked for long-term abuse with no original username specified.

Account Saberamir (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user has also added Telepaws and Indiaawik's upload of this image to enwiki, and is registered at Commons, so may also be worth a block. Belbury (talk) 10:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Already done, an admin has since blocked these and deleted the file. Belbury (talk) 11:36, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
