User:Constrayevan
[edit]- Constrayevan (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
User was given a final warning regarding copyright violations in May. Their uploads since include screenshots of YouTube videos, TikTok videos, album covers from Soundcloud, and likely autobiographical spam. These are all claimed as CC 1.0 but none of them have any release as such on their sources. CountryANDWestern (talk) 18:17, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
- Done Blocked for a week, all copyvios deleted. Yann (talk) 17:13, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
Capanibrahim block evasion
[edit]- Capanibrahim (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
- Nokturnvr (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
Capanibrahim was uploading AI-generated images of Turkish musicians a few days ago, and defending their deletion as fictional digital/virtual music artists (personae) created, produced, and managed by me
while creating wikidata entries for them filed as an instance of "human". They were blocked for spamming.
Nokturnvr has uploaded an AI-generated image of a Turkish musician today, and has created a wikidata entry for it filed as "human". Belbury (talk) 15:47, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
- Done Sock blocked indef., file deleted. Yann (talk) 17:09, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
Zul Alfarisi
[edit]Zul Alfarisi (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information). Continued uploading of copyright violations after warnings. --HyperGaruda (talk) 07:36, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
- Done That's an awful lot of copyright violations. Blocking for 2 weeks so they can see we mean it. - Jmabel ! talk 17:09, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
Request for semi-protection
[edit]Can an admin please add semi-protection to the following pages?
These 3 pages have been vandalized many times by LTA socks since yesterday, and it seems the LTA will continue doing so. Therefore, I think these pages should be protected. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 00:57, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
- Done All now set to require "auto-confirmed". No expiration: I cannot really imagine someone not auto-confirmed would ever have a valid reason to edit any of those. - Jmabel ! talk 03:56, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
Request by Asrohimat
[edit]- I would like to request temporary semi-protection for this page because it has been repeatedly targeted by spam/vandalism. The repeated disruptive edits are making it difficult to maintain the page. Thank you.

Not done There is no vandalism on your talk page. Yann (talk) 15:15, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
Request for semi-protection of User talk:JBW
[edit]There has recently been persistent vandalism on my talk page by a troll, using multiple accounts. The present outbreak of vandalism has been going on since 10 days ago, but there was similar trolling in the past, including in September and June 2025, which may or may not have been the same person. Apart from one trivial update by me, all editing of the page since July 2023 has been unconstructive editing such as vandalism and then edits to revert that unconstructive editing, so even a long-term protection would be unlikely to cause any collateral damage. I suggest semi-protection for at least a month, and personally I would go for more than that, perhaps 3 months. JBW (talk) 16:17, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
