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 []

Mitte27

User: Mitte27 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: This user is trying to enforce his POV regarding the naming of sports club categories by force (see also: User talk:Mitte27#Category:FC Bayern Munich and its subcategories, Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/12/Category:FC Bayern Munich, Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 98#Category:FC Bayern München/Category:FC Bayern Munich and its subcategories). The specific occasion for this report is that he started a category-move war by moving the category Category:Polonia Warszawa to the English name. This category, like all of our categories for sports clubs, was originally created under the original (in this case Polish) name Polonia Warszawa, but was moved to the English name Polonia Warsaw in 2019 without any discussion ([1]). I recently reverted this because using the English name is against our commons practice and such controversial category renaming should not happen without a CfD, anyway. On December 15, Mitte27 then moved the category back to the undiscussed title, with the deliberately misleading comment "renamed without discussion". This is clearly vandalism. His solo efforts in the sports clubs categories case are no longer acceptable. By this he causes a lot of extra work for other users and causes a lot of damage. Please strictly warn the user and explain him that this behaviour is not welcome on Commons and will result in serious consequences.
Furthermore, I ask for this cfd to be closed now: Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/12/Category:FC Bayern Munich.

@Chaddy: Whatever is going on here is obviously not vandalism. You may have an appropriate complaint to bring to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Users, which requires that you notify the user in question. - Jmabel ! talk 00:33, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

On my home wiki, German wikipedia, an edit-war or a page-move war is seen as vandalism. Is that differently seen on Commons? -- Chaddy (talk) 00:36, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes. As used on Commons, vandalism is specifically conduct clearly intended to damage the project. That is why we have a separate board to report it: so it can be shut down fast, and because blatant vandalism does not require notifying the user that you've reported them, because there is no reasonable chance that they can explain their conduct as something acceptable. - Jmabel ! talk 01:04, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Interesting. But okay, then I will use the other page. -- Chaddy (talk) 01:10, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Apparently a sockpuppet (Category:Sockpuppets of Saranphat chaiphet) created for block evasion, because this user and all the users in the mentioned category have been trying to upload the exactly same copyright violation files which are related to Nan Province. --Miwako Sato (talk) 11:31, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

• Looks like Yann sent him a final warning (there were no earlier warnings, but this is blatant enough that one warning is plenty). If this continues, then a block is certainly in order, and maybe a long one. - Jmabel ! talk 00:11, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
