Protection
Hi! Could you please protect following files: File:UCDM 2023 promo2.png File:UCDM 2023 promo.png File:UCDM 2023 poster.png? These files are used very widely and/or will be used for CentralNotice banner. ValentynNefedov (WMUA) (talk) 14:47, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Self-promotion using multiple accounts
- F._Tales_Massei (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)

- Editora_Império_Cristão (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
- Editora_(Eic) (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
All of these accounts are clearly the same individual. The only contributions involve promoting themself and books they have written. Marbletan (talk) 15:36, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Done. I blocked them all indefinitely, mass deleted their uploads and created a sockpuppet category. Taivo (talk) 18:04, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Serial copyright violator GWDRotimi13
I note that every image uploaded by GWDRotimi13 (talk · contribs) has been a copyright violation (or falsely claiming "own work" for images found online), and the warnings placed on the page over the past couple of weeks seem to have no effect. Three more copyvio images were uploaded today. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:58, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Done. I warned the user. Copyvios are deleted, one file is nominated for regular deletion. Taivo (talk) 17:36, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Protection
Please semi-protected my talk page for a long time: frequent vandalism from LTA's. Thanks in advance, --Mtarch11 (talk) 07:21, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Giorgio Pallavicini (talk · contribs) has been told multiple times not to overwrite files, but is still doing so, e.g. [1][2]. DrKay (talk) 17:22, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Done. I feel, that Giorgio can change and become a useful user. so I did not block him indefinitely, but for a year (fourth block). Taivo (talk) 17:33, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Saxena404 (talk · contribs) has been warned here and blocked on en.wikipedia for uploading promotional content. Despite that they uploaded Abhishek Saxena.jpg two days after a file of the same name (presumably the same file?) was speedied per COM:CSD#G10. TilmannR (talk) 12:01, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Another Jinnifer sock, per Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Socks_of_enwiki_user_Jinnifer. Reuploading the same Dracula still as an earlier sock (BerthredSpectra (talk · contribs)) and asking repeated, naive questions on user talk pages. The IP also seems to be a static one.

Continuing to upload copyvio images after a block for same last year. Belbury (talk) 16:28, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
Copyvio after warning Renvoy (talk) 00:24, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Done. One week block. All contributions are either deleted or nominated for speedy deletion. Taivo (talk) 07:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Pages with Craqdi
The files on above pages are still being requested for deletion, but they have been vandalised, including removal of the deletion tag by anonymous users and new users. --TKsdik8900 (talk) 01:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Hi! Please consider indefinite ban as nothing really helps to prevent upload of photos with copyvio Renvoy (talk) 08:16, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Done. I deleted his last remaining uploads as different kind of copyvios and blocked him indefinitely (4th block). Taivo (talk) 08:44, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Please protect it semi indef as IP vandals have spotted this high-vis file. Also, please check metadata as it may be corrupted. Thanks! A09 (talk) 10:39, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

These accounts are clearly all the same person. They are all promoting an individual named Viaan Kapoor cross-wiki. At least 3 of these accounts are blocked on another project for doing so. See w:en:Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Viaankapoor2012. Viaankapoor1995 is the most recent; in addition to blocking the accounts, and I suggest Viaankapoor1995's uploads be deleted.

Done and thanks for reporting Herby talk thyme 14:46, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
