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 []

Ladhar tribe

User: Ladhar tribe (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: Please revoke TPA for spam (diff). The account was indeffed while under a 31-hour block for userpage abuse after I asked the two administrators at the block notice thread to indef it (it is a sock of an indeffed en.wp spammer; see Special:CentralAuth/Ladhar tribe).

Though the diff I supplied is nominally a beg for unblocking, I don't trust it given the user's continuous spam of their talk page (see its history). I am here to avoid the talk page, which they would otherwise see and perhaps overwhelm with more spam. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 08:51, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: filing purely vexatious rapid-fire deletion requests with the rationale “porn propaganda” Dronebogus (talk) 17:53, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Blocked for a month for inappropriate removals of DR page contents, speedy-deletion templates, etc. related to their own uploads. I didn't particularly look into what Dronebogus raises here, and a longer block might well be in order. I just figured I'd stop them doing damage for now on the basis of what I could quickly find. - Jmabel ! talk 20:01, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel: See also the personal attacks in Special:Diff/1179967175, Special:Diff/1179961808, and Special:Diff/1179967175.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:21, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

• Certainly uncivil, but when someone (Dronebogus) is already in a fight with a user (Lois976) over one issue and then opens up an unrelated deletion request for a bunch of that user's uploads and, it appears, gets it wrong, it is not surprising that the latter user gets angry. Nothing there there gets past the one-month block they already got form messing with the DR, in my opinion. - Jmabel ! talk 21:21, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

They nominated my userpage and talk page for deletion with similar nonsense rationales, made obviously false claims of copyright violation on other files I uploaded, and re-nominated the same files over and over when I reverted their nominations as trolling. I think an indef is in order here. Dronebogus (talk) 20:26, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

I agree that was egregious, and if some other admin thinks an indef-block is more appropriate than the 1 month I gave, then I will not object. I don't think there is any point to anything between the two. Either there is a chance that they will come back to the project and contribute appropriately, or there isn't. If there is, a month is enough to make the point. If not, then indef is in order. - Jmabel ! talk 21:28, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

• @Dronebogus, would you care to explain: Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Lois976

Either this took place before Lois976' (admittedly bad) behaviour, but does provide a certain explanation of it, although not a justification.

Or else it took place after the conflict had begun, in which case it's an obvious retaliation on your part. Yet you're not the one getting blocked here?

If you throw around complaints like made obviously false claims of copyright violation on other files I uploaded and yet you're doing bulk DRs across an editor's whole upload history, to DR files that have been here since 2012 as 'might be AI', then you might find some surprising support for your I think an indef is in order here. suggestion.

Reason for reporting: JeanFousrou52 shows the same behavior and editing interests as a series of previous sockpuppets of User:Đăng Đàn Cung.
