Block request for User:Mauricio Studios Let

Mauricio Studios Let (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  An account solely for advertising purposes Cyberwolf (talk) 15:13, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Singerallowsmusic and socks

Using multiple accounts to upload his personal portraits again and again. 0x0a (talk) 17:24, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked Imnareshnayak and Allowsmuzic. I warned the user on their talk page. If the issue continues, please feel free to ping me @0x0a. Kadı Message 19:38, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gulf of America

Could someone please change this to a subcategory of Category:Gulf of Mexico and not a redirect? We need a category for files that are directly related to the "renaming" Trade (talk) 15:38, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protection of File:Cube of Truth in Eindhoven (2025).jpg

This page is repeatedly vandalized by anonymous users. In the description, the word "Truth" is continuously changed into random words. S. Perquin (talk) 19:46, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I now see that many images under Category:Anonymous for the Voiceless have also been vandalized in the exact the same way. Perhaps all of these images can also be protected (and they should be fixed as well). Kind regards, S. Perquin (talk) 20:04, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I blocked Special:Contributions/2601:152:4F80:45D0:0:0:0:0/64 for 2 weeks. Yann (talk) 20:41, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Block of User:Nairobi kenyatta market

Seems promotional and a violation of COM:USERNAME, especially as their only upload was promotional. — Naomi Amethyst 06:47, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. I feel, that warning against advertising is enough. Taivo (talk) 10:48, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@NaomiAmethyst: Thanks for the report, but it was premature. Please report again if they spam again after warning.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:14, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. Thanks for the advice! I'm more familiar with enwiki's practice of reporting username policy violations on first use. Had it been just the advertising content itself, I'd have waited to report until repeated offense. In the future, I'll wait longer before reporting violations of the username policy here on Commons. — Naomi Amethyst 15:55, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@NaomiAmethyst: note that Commons:Username policy allows a lot of names that would not be allowed on en-wiki. - Jmabel ! talk 18:32, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional username. First upload linked to a website for Victory Homoeo at their username-dot-org. — Naomi Amethyst 07:05, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Block of User:Aroohatours

Promotional username. First upload links to a website at their username-dot-com. — Naomi Amethyst 08:33, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:Socjolog Tomasz

Legal threat in the Commons:Deletion requests/File:Michal nowicki.jpg thread. Do you block users who make legal threats? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:07, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: see my responses on the DR. I think there is nothing further to do until he either responds or ~48 hours goes by. - Jmabel ! talk 05:10, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
