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.

Account Saberamir (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user has also added Telepaws and Indiaawik's upload of this image to enwiki, and is registered at Commons, so may also be worth a block. Belbury (talk) 10:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Warning about possible attacks related to images of Vietnamese artists

It has been reported on my talk page (User_talk:MGA73#Vandalism-related_help) that there is an attack on images of Vietnamese artists. It seems that users mass tag files with no permission and then the files are deleted.

I have checked a few files reported by Special:DeletedContributions/Neko_hehe and they were from YouTube and looked okay to me. Example File:DoMixi1989.jpg and File:20181013 Nguyễn Phương Hằng at Talkshow.png.

So please be careful before you delete files tagged with no permission. And if someone have time to help check deleted files it would be great. --MGA73 (talk) 15:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

I also noticed that the person added a tag so it looked like the file was marked 8 days ago. --MGA73 (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

This user too: Special:DeletedContributions/Funny_Man_1999. Any help restoring files is welcome. --MGA73 (talk) 17:53, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Hope you and the others can restore my and other Vietnamese user uploaded photos. Great thanks. Mickey Đại Phát (talk) 17:56, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
