User:I have "cousins"

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)[reply]

 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)[reply]

User:Firnanda.Reena

Already blocked three times for uploading copyrighted images. User had an unblock declined in 2019 in which they explained that the copyvios they'd uploaded were "free pictures" from a website, and they still seem to take that view of internet content, yesterday they uploaded File:Dr. Lisa Damour.png with a source of I found this on Lisa Damour's Facebook Page. (it's a screengrab of https://www.facebook.com/lisadamourphd/videos/495034203226507 and is in no way freely licenced). Belbury (talk) 16:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Indef. this time, and Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Firnanda.Reena‎. Yann (talk) 16:30, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protect two files

Please semi-protect these two filenames because of persistant sockpuppetry/recreation. Jonteemil (talk) 09:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Semi-protected. Yann (talk) 09:36, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:SubGeniusViciousBruckmanAshleyKankerThirtyacreEvieFerrisChelseaAlisonCandyVeronica

Vandalism-only account. (Goodness, what a mouthful.) Omphalographer (talk) 01:12, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The last time I had filed a CU case, it was because I knew that there was a sock from the original user. - THV | ♂ | U | T - 01:15, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done. Indefinitely blocked as sockpuppet. Edits are reverted. Taivo (talk) 08:32, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Omphalographer: Also locked.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:56, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Phngnh

Had been blocked last month, the user continued to upload unfree files. 0x0a (talk) 18:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Blocked for a month. -- CptViraj (talk) 19:41, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Flag_of_Brazil.svg

Please add Upload protection. There seems to be an endless revert war going on. Enhancing999 (talk) 02:50, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done indefinite autopatroller protection to prevent reverts —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 08:33, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is this sufficient for the file versions? Enhancing999 (talk) 10:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well I trust autopatrollers not to revert war, since they also can overwrite files. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 15:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Matrix: Please re-protect. When you deleted some file revisions, the protection didn’t survive through the operation. --Geohakkeri (talk) 10:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting, seems that's what happened in 2019 with the indefinite protection added in 2015.[1] Enhancing999 (talk) 10:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done again should be good now —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 15:00, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
