Block request for Ghasabalada

Ghasabalada (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 

Sock of User:Achim55/Sockpuppet investigations/Laxmi. Bovlb (talk) 18:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Blocked. -- CptViraj (talk) 18:05, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Bambuser logo.png

OK this one is weird -- the logo is of a likely notable e-commerce platform with an enwiki article (albeit spammy, may or may not pass NCORP depending on how the winds shift that day, but it exists for now), but it seems to have been created to spam a vlogger's stuff, and continually is re-vandalized by multiple IPs/single purpose accounts with more spam. I removed the spam but it should probably be semi-protected so it doesn't keep coming back. Gnomingstuff (talk) 19:20, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Done Semi-protected for six months. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:16, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Download file names

File:Download (6).png not deleted is move file, this File:Download 3.jpg is deleted file. please protect this file name. メイド理世 (talk) 09:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Done I have protected both file names Gbawden (talk) 13:12, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sangjinhwa

I deleted the flag as a copyright violation of this. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Not done I'm not seeing a pattern of copyright violations here. Most of their deleted files are flags that were either zapped as duplicates or uploader request. When their uploads are deleted as copyright violations, it's almost always because someone else uploaded the flag, and then Sangjinhwa cleaned up the SVG code. There were also a few FoP uploads too, but again, not a pattern of them. I don't see how a block would be productive here. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Flag of India.svg unprotection

I would like an administrator to unprotect File:Flag of India.svg and let me overwrite the file to this one [1], then protect the page again after I overwrite it.

This was already disscussed in the file's talk page with Swapnil1101 stating that he got those colours by having a phone call with a government manufacturer. See File talk:Flag of India.svg for more information.

Best regards Undertiago (talk) 18:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Done @Undertiago: Tell me when you are done. Yann (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm trying to overwrite it but I have a message saying This filename is currently protected from (re)uploading and can be used solely by administrators. Do I have to make another request or you can unprotect it? Undertiago (talk) 20:18, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Undertiago: Ah yes, only antopatrolled users can overwrite this. So I ✓ did it. Please fix the description (colors). Yann (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Yann: Done, thanks. Undertiago (talk) 20:45, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Block request

14.0.128.0/17 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 

Very active with LTA, long time continue disruptive report and disruptive request delete, cross-wiki abuse and continued after last block.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 11:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Comment I blocked Special:Block/14.0.174.0/24 for 3 months. 14.0.128.0/17 is a huge range. What would be the collateral damage? Yann (talk) 11:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thus IP range is dynamic, here can use page ban?--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
