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 []
Report users for clear cases of vandalism. Block requests for any other reason should be reported to the blocks and protections noticeboard.	Report disputes with users that require administrator assistance. Further steps are listed at resolve disputes.	Reports that do not suit the vandalism noticeboard may be reported here. Requests for page protection/unprotection could also be requested here.	Other reports that require administrator assistance which do not fit in any of the previous three noticeboards may be reported here. Requests for history merging or splitting should be filed at COM:HMS.

Hello. Can anyone check this image file? It seems suspicious for me. Thanks in advance. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 02:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Looking. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 03:30, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@JWilz12345 It does not appear that either revision contains stenographically encoded data (i.e. no hidden images). Seems COM:OOS though? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757 unused in any Wikimedia area/site/page. No forseeable use. So yeah, out of scope too. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 08:58, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

@JWilz12345: Nominated for deletion as OOS. --A1Cafel (talk) 09:24, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
