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.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Toddy1 (talk • contribs) 07:53, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Reason for reporting: This editor is making repeated bad edits to File:War1947-48.jpg and File:1971surrenderpic.jpg. In the case of File:War1947-48.jpg they claim that corrections to the description of the picture have no source, even though the source is on the page. See article history

In the case of File:1971surrenderpic.jpg they delete a useful description of the photograph (which is a signed copy of File:1971 Instrument of Surrender.jpg).

The reason for the bad edits is Pakistan nationalism. Toddy1 (talk) 07:51, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done Account blocked for a week, IP soft-blocked for 3 months. Yann (talk) 11:07, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
