Block evasion by User:8diq

User:10aashishbhardwaj. See the main noticeboard. Northern Moonlight (talk) 03:07, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

@Northern Moonlight

I would like to clarify that I am not associated with User:8diq in any way. I created this account (User:10aashishbhardwaj) on my own, and this is my only account. I have never attempted to evade any block.
I joined Wikimedia Commons in good faith and have been contributing positively by adding file descriptions, categories, and informative captions. If any clarification is needed. I am fully willing to cooperate if there are any concerns or doubts. I kindly request that my account not be misunderstood or falsely associated with another user., I’m happy to cooperate fully.

Thank you. — User:10aashishbhardwaj

✓ Done. I blocked 10aashishbhardwaj indefinitely as sockpuppet of 8diq. Taivo (talk) 10:51, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

User:Kevinkohute39 and User:Kevinkohute2025

Clearly not here to contribute productively; filenames of some previously deleted uploads look like legal threats towards Wikimedia. (I don't recall them looking especially credible, but even so...) Omphalographer (talk) 02:58, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

@Omphalographer: Legal threats don't have to be credible to qualify for reporting. See COM:NLT.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:17, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
The idea that an user could get permabanned banned for simply stating that a file is potentially libelous or defamatory towards the subject seems a bit too extreme. Maybe it's time to relax it a bit? Trade (talk) 12:27, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
@Trade: COM:NLT AKA COM:NPLT is a part of policy Commons:Harassment; feel free to propose something better at Commons talk:Harassment or COM:VPP.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:01, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Request Indefinite full-protection for Special:MyGallery

Rationale: Kgarcia181 (talk) 03:12, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

 Oppose as incomplete.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:15, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
WTF? I think you're confused. Special:MyGallery does not exist, and has never existed; even if it did, Special pages cannot be protected. Omphalographer (talk) 07:31, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
 Not done Incomprehensible and nonsense request. Please be clear when making any request here. signed, Aafi (talk) 13:42, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
