@JalenBarks: looks to me, at a quick glance, like all of their uploads predate your first warning. Am I misreading that? - Jmabel ! talk 06:58, 6 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yes, though from the Creation logs, they have also previously uploaded File:The Jetix Logo Is The Best.png and File:Wesds Logo.png, both deleted by F1. From the same logs, File:Jetix 2004 logo.png was recreated after its original deletion by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk · contribs), also uploaded by AshleyLOL1987 afterward. I'm surprised no warnings were issued for those F1 tags. JalenBarks (talk) 07:48, 6 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

It is a different image that the one uploaded by Saify-Citation-Page-Pilot (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information), but yes, there are strong suspicions about socking. Yann (talk) 14:43, 6 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Given that MichelidesPeralta is in good standing here, I do not know what to make of this. - Jmabel ! talk 00:34, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Meister und Margarita was blocked here on Commons in 2018 by Majora for Intimidation/harassment - abuse of email function. MichelidesPeralta is abusing multiple accounts on Commons as is Christian Michelides. Both should be blocked and put into Category:Sockpuppets of Meister und Margarita. Geoffroi 01:00, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
MichelidesPeralta Is now globally locked. Hopefully the rest will get done pretty quickly. Geoffroi 01:45, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Misread this a little because of the "good standing" comment. MichelidesPeralta was already globally locked and Christian Michelides was using the other's subpages. I've CSD tagged the remaining subpages so future socks aren't attracted to them or encouraged by them remaining here. Geoffroi 02:20, 9 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Protection request for multiple voice recordings (for Wikipedia Easter Egg)

[edit]

Hi, and Merry Christmas to all of you! I'm ABAL1412 from Vietnamese Wikipedia.

Recently, I've joined the Easter egg experiment. The idea is to record audios in multiple languages, saying "Welcome to Wikipedia." After that, it can be randomly played when a user clicks the mascot. You can read more here. I followed the instruction and ask you to protect my files for this event.

These are the files:
File:WikiWelcome-ABAL1412-vi (south).wav
File:WikiWelcome-ABAL1412-vi (middle).wav
File:WikiWelcome-ABAL1412-en.wav
File:WikiWelcome-ABAL1412-ru.wav

Thank you!
