- Reasons for reporting: For years, I have been railing against incomplete deletion requests, which are caused by malformed use of {{Delete}} templates and lack of follow-through, and which are populating subcats of Category:Incomplete deletion requests. This problem spurred the creation of that category 17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC), over 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over three years ago. As a precedent, ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page" pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 34#Alex Neman. As The Vital Exchange, DarkWorld305 made this edit 09:56, 30 May 2023 (UTC), omitting transclusion, the subpage, and notice to the page creator, and in violation of COM:CATRED. I warned them in this edit 10:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC), surviving as User talk:DarkWorld305#Warning. After changing username, they did it again in this edit 01:19, 24 August 2023 (UTC). They then: continued past Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 107#DarkWorld305, making this edit; and plowed on through Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 110#DarkWorld305, making this other edit 18:56, 27 July 2024 (UTC).

Please semi-protect this filename (and delete it if it's not already deleted) because of persistant uploading/sockpuppetry. Same as #File:REAL MALABAR FC.png. Jonteemil (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done I've deleted File:Usman Ashik.jpg and indef-protected it to autopatroller lever. If someone feels that is too severe, feel free to choose a lower level of protection. - Jmabel ! talk 01:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
User:Hyper1701
The user is a confirmed sockpuppet of Imxxd17 and had uploaded copyvio material. Please block. MiasmaEternal (talk) 23:13, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:19, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- On a related note, the sockpuppeteer is uploading suspected copyvio material (refer to the latest topic on their talk page). Please take appropriate action. MiasmaEternal (talk) 05:26, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- MiasmaEternal Done. Ping me if they return under another account. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Please semi-protect this file. It's used in wiki articles for "Wikipedia" across numerous wikis and has attracted a lot of low-quality metadata edits. Omphalographer (talk) 04:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think there are so many instances of bad-edits for this year at the least. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Seems to get hit more or less monthly, and I certainly don't see any legitimate edits from IPs. I think it's a reasonable request, but I'd like to see more of a consensus than just Aafi & me disagreeing. Jmabel ! talk 04:47, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support I also think it's a reasonable request, but I also think that Wikimedia shouldn't allow edits from IPs period, so I probably shouldn't be counted here. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:31, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done Auto confirmed only for 6 months. We can re-look at it after that Gbawden (talk) 06:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Please consider blocking Yodchaibn (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) for being a sockpuppet of Yothaland (talk · contribs) & Aommyabrina (talk · contribs). Thank you so much. -- Librovore (talk) 08:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done. Master and both sockpuppets are indefinitely blocked. I mass deleted all uploads of sockpuppets. Taivo (talk) 10:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Three images of Buenos Aires
- File:AR Buenos Aires (La Boca) 0702 006 (17214753011).jpg
- File:AR Buenos Aires (La Boca) 0702 007 (17215313465).jpg
- File:Caminito - Entrada.jpg
These three images have been the subject of repeated nonsense deletion requests by single-purpose accounts; the most recent attempts have just been readding deletion templates referring to already closed requests. Can these file description pages be semiprotected to prevent further spurious requests? Omphalographer (talk) 01:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. This is ridiculous. Will do. - Jmabel ! talk 05:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- All set to "autoconfirmed" for 3 months. Clearly not the CSAM that was being alleged for the first two, and clearly displaying exactly what it says it displays for the third (the name-migrating vandal claimed it does not display the place it says, but it's easily confirmed, it's a much-photographed building). - Jmabel ! talk 05:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Please block the user I have "cousins" for being a vandalism-only account, having been blocked on both the English and French Wikipedia for persistent vandalism of articles. Wheatley2 (talk) 07:35, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not done @Wheatley2, no local block is warranted. If they are doing cross-wiki spam and vandalism, it should be reported on Meta-Wiki. Nothing to do here. They haven't done anything here. Regards, Aafi (talk) 07:51, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
