This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. 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.
Vandalism []	User problems []	Blocks and protections []	Other []
Report users for clear cases of vandalism. Block requests for any other reason should be reported to the blocks and protections noticeboard.	Report disputes with users that require administrator assistance. Further steps are listed at resolve disputes.	Reports that do not suit the vandalism noticeboard may be reported here. Requests for page protection/unprotection could also be requested here.	Other reports that require administrator assistance which do not fit in any of the previous three noticeboards may be reported here. Requests for history merging or splitting should be filed at COM:HMS.

Unlock images

Hello, please unlock this image to download the new Talysh Wikipedia logo because... Unfortunately, there are errors in the spelling of words and the display of the alphabet used in the Talysh Wikipedia. It should be written: VikipedijA, Sərbəstə Ensiklopedijə. A corresponding discussion took place at the local level - here. Best regards, Гусейнага (talk) 11:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Please upload the file under another name and I will merge them @Гусейнага Bedivere (talk) 15:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Bedivere I uploaded a new logo - here. Гусейнага (talk) 22:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

@Гусейнага Is there consensus to make the change to that version? I don't think it conforms to the actual typography of the logo. See wmf:Legal:Wikimedia trademarks/Word mark creation. Once you confirm, I will perform the change. Bedivere (talk) 23:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

I have updated the logo using the actual typography. Please let me know if anything is wrong. Bedivere (talk) 00:25, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your work. Best regards, Гусейнага (talk) 08:00, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
