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.

Reason for reporting: Spammer / self-promotion per edit Special:Diff/1140307372/1140320643 on Help desk. Grand-Duc (talk) 02:43, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Warned. Thy have made exactly one edit. If they continue along these lines, it will be a reason to block.

FWIW, you don't have to be an admin to warn a user that self-promotional edits will get them blocked. - Jmabel ! talk 06:21, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

I'd have done that, warning, for a registered account. But I deemed that an individual spamming as temp account wouldn't be worth that, the chances at recruiting that person as a new useful contributor are likely zero.

@Alexkom000: Are you forgetting something?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:53, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

@Jeff G.

I tried to report vandalism, but it seems that something went wrong.

The user I wanted to report is Lup.pul. There were number of edits containing drug advertisements.

I reverted those edits, but I believe this user should be blocked. Alexkom000 (talk) 22:57, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

@Alexkom000: Hopefully, I fixed it above.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:00, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Self promo spam. XReport --45dogs (talk) 01:41, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

I've served a warning to the user for time being. If they continue to advertise, indef. That doesn't mean I oppose it now. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 05:05, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

I just blocked them on en WP for determined self-promotion. Acroterion (talk) 05:12, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

I just blanked their userpage and reverted other promotional edit to warning template. Doing the same thing, even after warning, in multiple projects warrants global lock. I am filing a request. Someone may indef and if possible retract revisions. (EDIT: Global block request) Shaan Sengupta^Talk 06:40, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
