Category:Andrey Lipov

A massive amount of non-constructive edits, not sure what's going on here, but this category needs protection.. - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 20:29, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done by user:Achim55. That said, it's a category with only 1 file, so it should probably be deleted. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:29, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like annoyed people protesting against switching off of Discord. I understand that, but Commons is not the right stage for such actions. --Achim55 (talk) 07:41, 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]

@Tavantius: Admins will update it periodically. See Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Hurricane Milton. - Jmabel ! talk 12:42, 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.
