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 []

Out of scope AI content from User:Jhonsyrani

• Jhonsyrani (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

User was asked with a formal warning template last August to review COM:SCOPE, after uploading unused AI-generated images of dolls and people. Their only contributions since then have to be upload more AI-generated images of people, none of which are ever used and all of which gradually get deleted. Belbury (talk) 17:03, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

@Belbury: See Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Jhonsyrani.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:05, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

You've nominated all of their uploads for deletion, including those which are already the subject of open deletion requests and two photographs which aren't AI generated (which is why I haven't been COM:F10ing these)?

When I saw that Jhonsyrani had uploaded another unused AI image today (File:2000 type of bhoot serials .v5 - Copy.png), their first in some weeks, I thought I'd report the user here instead. Belbury (talk) 19:25, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

@Belbury: Sorry, I withdrew.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:33, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

File:The People of India 1868 Aheer.jpg

Consider Autopatroller or Semi-protection. Repeated deletion/speedy deletion requests made without valid grounds, sometimes accompanied by content removal and/or vandalism. There may be problems with the image (it comes from an book from the 1860s, so that wouldn't be surprising), but those should be delt with through the description and/or caption, not removal of a clearly PD image that's in use.—Tcr25 (talk) 18:58, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

 Done Semi-protected for a year. I warned a number of users. Yann (talk) 20:26, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Copyvio after final warning - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 20:36, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

@Yann, you know more about India, maybe this user's actions make more sense to you. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 20:43, 5 June 2026 (UTC)

Nuking is needed here. None of the uploads are own work. Even the ones coming from Digital Sansad, i.e. Digital Parliament needs to go as Indian Parliament works aren't ok here (See this DR if any clarity is needed). Shaan Sengupta^Talk 09:39, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Reverting images for no reason, disruptive since the changes he reverted are usually a better quality. Based on the name, may be a sock, though I'm not sure. Dabmasterars [EN/RU] (talk/uploads) 08:40, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

I'd say that the warning Yann gave should be sufficient, at least for now. - Jmabel ! talk 14:23, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

That warning was posted after my post, but sure. Dabmasterars [EN/RU] (talk/uploads) 14:30, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
