Reason for reporting: On page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Picadilly_Circus_London_by_night_2006.jpg, right above the Summary section, there are a few lines in Arabic, part gibberish and part some kind of a lover's lament... Anyhow not anything related to Picadilly Circus. And I can't figure how to delete those lines myself. Have a good day! Aluminium (talk) 10:14, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@Aluminium, problem solved. However, next time just report such (small) vandalism at COM:VP or COM:AN, or — better — edit it away by yourself. This board here is meant to report vandals, i.e. users who have committed vandalism. --Túrelio (talk) 10:30, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Long-term abuse. Reuploading multiple files from globally locked VictorSousaFentes, who also operated as Nicolas Baldin. See COM:ANB § Nicolas Baldin. XReport --Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 14:55, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

I am unaware of any connection with this user VictorSousaFentes, I am available for any questions regarding this, but accusing me in this way is a very malicious act, as I have already mentioned. I don't know this individual.— UserLeonardo (talk) 18:50, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@Whyiseverythingalreadyused, I challenge and contest any claim to the contrary, emphasizing that there is no evidence or legitimate record to prove any interaction between the parties, since such events never occurred.— UserLeonardo (talk) 19:10, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@UserLeonardo: Why did you upload File:2018 - Nocivo Shomon (cropped).png in Special:Permalink/1206160258, duplicating {{YouTubeReview}} without authorization? What gave you the impetus to upload all these files?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:40, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: duplicating {{YouTubeReview}} without authorization I'm not sure I understand what you are going at. CropTool routinely copies things like that, it doesn't remove them. Yes, ideally, the person who uses CropTool should edit downstream, but most don't. there may well be a problem here, but that is not it. - Jmabel ! talk 01:11, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

@UserLeonardo: no policy on sockpuppetry requires one presumed sockpuppet to have posted on another sockpuppet's user talk page

 Comment @Sun8908: Not at all obvious to me what would be vandalistic here, can you expand on that? I see you've nominated a bunch of things for deletion, but on such general rationales I can't work out the supposed issue. - Jmabel ! talk 07:21, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done. I deleted all contributions as copyvios and empty categories, but this is not vandalism and block is not needed. Taivo (talk) 09:10, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel: The user falsified a license review on File:Ragul Reddy Union Territory Leader visit Pondicherry.jpg. Other uploads were tagged G3, but were deleted as copyvios.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:05, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: so are you asking for a block for the false license review? Or just remarking? - Jmabel ! talk 20:10, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel: I do not have enough information to ask, but Taivo had enough information when deleting that file and chose not to block, while Sun8908 evidently reached a different conclusion.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:18, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

This was the file, where Arumugam inserted license review by Jkadavoor. Actually the file had no source link at all and Jkadavoor never edited the file. This was his/her only upload, where false license review was added. Taivo (talk) 20:27, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Taivo: I sent their first vandalism warning. Whitewashing of copyvios via falsified license review should be considered to be more serious than license laundering due to mens rea.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:11, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

It was evidently vandalistic xwiki. The user (and their sock) created a lot of pages of the same (fake) topic across different Wikipedias and Wikidata. Sun8908 (talk) 07:51, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Copyvios after a warning, discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Zaya Wade.jpg shows an ongoing lack of understanding of basic principles: claiming own work with no source and later saying I don't think I ever claimed it was my own work.

[Tried and failed] Will nuke, since it's a bunch of useless redirects, but offhand I don't see this as a vandalism issue. - Jmabel ! talk 18:32, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel, their most recent edits made the pages become redirects, and that might break parsing? I don't have a tool that can easily fix this yet, but this is a edge case I can quickly update chuckbot for. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 22:38, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Alachuckthebuck: that would be great.

It's weird if AWB would find it any different to delete a redirect than to delete any other page. - Jmabel ! talk 22:49, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel as I'm not an admin, All chuckbot can do is set the page revisions to their inital creation, and hope that works when someone tries to delete it. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 22:51, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Maybe it tries to follow the redirect and gets confused.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:52, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
