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 []
Report users for clear cases of vandalism. Block requests for any other reason should be reported to the blocks and protections noticeboard.	Report disputes with users that require administrator assistance. Further steps are listed at resolve disputes.	Reports that do not suit the vandalism noticeboard may be reported here. Requests for page protection/unprotection could also be requested here.	Other reports that require administrator assistance which do not fit in any of the previous three noticeboards may be reported here. Requests for history merging or splitting should be filed at COM:HMS.

User: OwcaGierka (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: This user's entire account appears to be devoted to "improving" the logos/emblems/flags of communist organizations/movements/nations on Wikipedia Commons. By this they mean they replace the actual design with one that they have "improved" subject to their own aesthetic preferences. If other editors revert this vandalism, they respond with edit warring. They have a history of repeatedly engaging in such behavior despite at least one warning on their talk page. Brusquedandelion (talk) 00:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

@Brusquedandelion  Not done No recent edits from the account + due to recent changes, they can no longer overwrite files they didn't create. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
