Needs protection for years of egregious BLP vandalism and probably revision deletion as well. Gnomingstuff (talk) 07:44, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Gnomingstuff Do you want to keep it? Not F10 it? Gbawden (talk) 08:30, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Ob9u

Clearly a sock of User:TCfanssos, see contribs and related files e.g. File:Hatay location Defne.png. I think it would also be beneficial if those files were given upload protection due to the excessive reverting. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - useless contributions} 17:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Multiple personal attacks against me, see their user page and talk page (in addition to attacks at en.wp). When I asked to remove the attack comment from their user page, the reply itself continued the personal attack. For this and their continued uploading of copyvios (and appears not to understand) this user needs to be blocked. As an involved admin, I can't do this myself. --P 1 9 9   14:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can an admin protect the files above? They have been the subject of sockpuppetry. Also please block 7p-9 as a sockpuppet. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - useless contributions} 18:12, 25 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
