User: ~2026-28853-51 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: Recreated Category:PICTURE with nonsense content. Most likely sockpuppet of User:CHRISSHELTO. See this previous AN/V report. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 01:15, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

Can an administrator also indefinitely protect Category:PICTURE from recreation? Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 06:02, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

User: Anubiswolflofi (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: spam Dronebogus (talk) 14:37, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

 Not done Exactly one uploaded file, for a probably non-notable musician, which will most likely be deleted on a scope basis. Certainly not vandalism. I don't see any need for admin action here. You are, of course, more than welcome to drop him a note on his talk page explaining why this is not an appropriate upload to Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 18:44, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Sakura Lens

User: Sakura Lens (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: Sock of User:漣 樋井 for evasion block. This user uploaded an imaginary AI-generated collage and use in ja:愛来 as the master did. See ja:Special:History/愛来. Netora (talk) 15:23, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Sauggh

User: Sauggh (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: Has vandalism warnings on their talk page from one month ago, and has now started to spam across different project pages. Nakonana (talk) 19:07, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

And they are also socking as TA ~2026-79893-3 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) , compare this TA edit with this Sauggh edit. Nakonana (talk) 19:21, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
~2026-79893-3 is a temporary account that has not edited in 6 weeks. - Jmabel ! talk 19:43, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Fair enough. Some user script of mine was showing them as being blocked but I don't see any entry in their block log. Nakonana (talk) 19:48, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
Also note that they are spamming a link to an AN report, namely this one: Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Abuse Filter blocking legitimate author name correction, which was started by a user who is globally locked. Nakonana (talk) 19:29, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
✓ Done indef-blocked User:Sauggh. Didn't bother to do anything with the unused TA. - Jmabel ! talk 19:50, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
