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.

User: HuynhThangTS (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: clearly not here to contribute. They even removed the speedy deletion tags of their personal selfie photo, which they inserted into their self-promo page that is repeatedly recreated on viwiki XReport --Nvdtn19 (talk) 18:43, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: His only contribution, File:Yuchengdong.jpg(Which has been deleted already), is being used to vandalise zh:余承东 by multiple TAs. I suspect this is the main account of those TAs. Ghostingb (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

 Comment It is an entirely different file, and one much more likely to be in scope, as a decent image of a tanpura. On the other hand, if this is someone evading a block, they probably should be blocked. - Jmabel ! talk 01:10, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Vandalism-only account XReport --NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 23:44, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

•  Done blocked 6 months for repeated unconstructive editing. I can't tell whether this is vandalism or incompetence, but the block is appropriate either way. If, on return, they make comparable edits, then an indef-block is certainly in order. - Jmabel ! talk 04:01, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
