AlkyzawyHsyen edit

User: AlkyzawyHsyen (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log
Reason for reporting: I noticed that this user had vandalized a large number of files related to Syria, adding references to terrorism to their captions and structured data. Please block him and undo all his edits. 95.55.219.29 22:53, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

It would be really useful to have some diffs here. I didn't quickly spot anything problematic, but the user makes a lot of edits. - Jmabel ! talk 00:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, here's an example of a user adding a reference to terrorism to a file's structured data: [1]. And here is an example of how a user adds a mention of terrorism to a file caption, and in different languages ​​(you can see in user's previous and subsequent edits of this file): [2]. I looked at the user's edits more carefully and made sure that not all of them are vandal, but the proportion of such edits is extremely high. 95.55.219.29 09:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

User: Yusaya 94038917 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log
Reason for reporting: Repeatedly blanking content at Commons:Village pump after a warning. Closest thing to a constructive contribution is a few out of scope personal photos, otherwise they're mostly just posting incremented numbers to their own talk page, their comment at [3] (This limited to 512 edits on users to expiry 1 year) making it sound like they're trying to hit some target to bypass autoconfirmed protection, possibly erroneously on another wiki. Belbury (talk) 10:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

300 edits later they reached their mysterious 512 target and may have stopped editing, but 2400:2412:2820:3F00:98C9:C7C6:438:4912 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log is restoring Yusaya's blanking of the Village Pump.

Cleaning up this looks like a sock of Yusaya 4531 (talk · contribs) who was blocked almost a year ago and has socked in the past on enwiki, which may explain the "512 edits on users to expiry 1 year" superstition. --Belbury (talk) 12:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
