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.

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.

• User: Laterskaterx (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
• Reasons for reporting: All but 1 files of this user have been deleted under copyright violation, even after a warning by User:Adeletron 3030 (the 1 file that has not been deleted has been tagged no permission) -Contributers2020^{Talk to me here!} 15:40, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

   Not done User has two uploads in 2024 and I feel a normal warning should be enough, which has been given within the last 24 hours. Out of the deleted files, 7 are from 2021 and 2 from 2022, and the rest 2 are 2024 uploads. There is no huge repetition, and this left over file is a 2021 upload and I don't seem to find a copy elsewhere. Should they continue even after this warning, please report, however, try issuing a final warning prior to reporting. ─ Aafī (talk) 16:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
