Reason for reporting: changing categories to wrong categories Wouter (talk) 16:35, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The user is high speed changing categories. Wouter (talk) 18:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The user created for example Category:People with metal objects and changed Category:People with objects to Category:People with metal objects in 7 categories.
I checked some other changes. On reflection, it is not vandalism, just that sometimes I have a different opinion. I was alarmed by a change I disagreed with and the fact that the (new) user made 234 changes in 3.5 hours. Wouter (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Johnkenedy69 edit

User: Johnkenedy69 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log
Reason for reporting: User uploaded the now deleted copyvio File:Tf2-tf2engineer.gif in order to vandalize en:Bootloader. Also, username also could possibly impersonate multiple notable people with the real name John Kennedy, so this could be a violation of the username policy on top of the vandalism. Jesse Viviano (talk) 00:05, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  Done. I warned the user, block is not needed. In my opinion the username is acceptable. Taivo (talk) 08:37, 15 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
