✓ Done. I blocked the user indefinitely due to inappropriate username. Also I will delete the only upload speedily as copyvio (watermark in bottom right corner does not correspond to username, so not own work). Taivo (talk) 09:17, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Coopclarence123

Coopclarence123 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log Persistent copyright violations. I have now blocked them at enwiki for persistently adding these images to articles there. Kinu (talk) 05:41, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have given them a final warning per our blocking policy. If they persist they will be blocked Gbawden (talk) 06:07, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment Being discussed on my talk page. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:37, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done. I warned the user and deleted the only upload as spam. The logo was not used, I did not find the company from en.wiki and en:Stalwart did not mention it as well. As user rename process is arguably ongoing, I do not block the user currently. Taivo (talk) 11:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please reduce it to semi-protection so I can update it. Tavantius (talk) 07:49, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deprotection of pages

I make some categorization works on Wikimedia logos (see Category:Commons protected edit requests). It would be easier for me and for administrors if you can deprotect for a while the pages of types File:Wikipedia-logo..., File:Wikimedia-logo..., File:Wikiquote-logo..., File:Wiktionary-logo..., etc.

Nedaaymo (talk · contribs) is a sockpuppet of Seyed haji (talk · contribs), created on 15 April 2024 when the latter was blocked for abusing multiple accounts and for uploading unfree files after warnings. Same pattern of activity and file naming continues. HeminKurdistan (talk) 15:37, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
