User:Sarah 1985

Sciencia58 (talk) 10:12, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

User Sarah 1985 was already warned two and a half years ago that it is not allowed to overwrite image files with completely different images. Two years ago, she was warned again. After another violation, her user account was blocked for a week. Now she has become active again and continues exactly the same misconduct. As the photos are on the subject of sexuality and the false images she uploads appear immediately in our articles, which can be very irritating, there is a particular urgency to this matter. Since she or he avoids giving credit to the true author of the photo in this way, it cannot be ruled out that some photographs were published against the will of the woman who was photographed and that personality rights are violated.

The fact that Sarah reverted the latest overwriting shows that she commits the violations deliberately, perhaps out of an inner compulsion, and then reverts it so that no action is taken against her user account. So intent is evident here. This is real vandalism. The effect was also very unpleasant for me personally, because after her renewed vandalism, which caused her wrong photo to appear in an article I had edited, I tried to get rid of it by resetting it. As a result, I now have photos in my list that I don't want in there at all. I don't want those pictures in my files. She didn't reset it immediately, she reset it after 52 minutes. That was a clear provocation. In doing so, she abuses the placating effect of visual sexual stimuli on male adminstrators. I think it is time for a permanent ban, because she is obviously either unwilling or unable to refrain such violations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sciencia58 (talk • contribs) 10:12, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Xxlfussel

The discussion is closed. As AFBorchert said: Xxlfussel "should consider themselves lucky to have not been indef'd". Sockpuppeting is one of biggest crimes in Commons. Taivo (talk) 16:10, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
  • User: Xxlfussel (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
  • Reasons for reporting: User is unhappy with the progress of Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/05/Category:Selina Egle at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. He used sock puppets to manipulate the progress of the discussion in order to imply that there is more than just one voice in support of his position. The sock account was blocked indefinitely, the sock master for 1 month. Nobody else took his position and this discussion felt asleep. In order to push his position forward, he started the similar behaviour against another similar category (edit) which he randomly picked and opened up a similar discussion. I reverted this and redirected it to the current (still unclosed) discussion. I do consider this to be another step of trolling in favour of a single position. A longer block than 1 month should be warranted as well as a permanent topic ban on sports categories.

—DerHexer (Talk) 19:46, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I support this. This is so frustrating, a completely destructive behaviour. I'm a Wikimedian now since nearly 16 years, but not often I meet such a destructive person here. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 19:48, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
I support this, too. Regardless of their multiple accounts, this user is very destructive and demotivates productive users. --Stepro (talk) 19:49, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Why should I be dissatisfied with how the discussion went about the category Selina Egle at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics? It is more likely that you are dissatisfied with the course. The discussion is still open and therefore not yet concluded. This discussion is not just about the category Selina Egle at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, but about the entire category system under the category 2020 Winter Youth Olympics sportspeople. Because the discussion, as I said, is not over yet, I have held back with editing in this category system. In contrast, Marcus Cyrus created the category Barış Oduncu at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics during the ongoing discussion. That is a clear affront to the discussion, and that is why I put the category up for discussion. That's my right isn't it? I also find it very amusing that Marcus Cyrus described me as a “destructive person”. In the discussion above, Marcus Cyrus showed what a destructive user is. --Xxlfussel (talk) 20:40, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
I don't think that a category discussion where all your arguments were in a way refuted which urged you to use sock puppets to claim that there is more than just your single voice should hinder anyone from creating valid categories (as multiple times explained there with myriads of examples). Certainly, these and many more categories within this logic will be created. This is a community project, please do accept that people create valid categories in another way as you would create them. Without a doubt, this is disruptive behaviour. —DerHexer (Talk) 20:49, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
My arguments have been refuted? This is new to me! When should that have happened please? Never! You can see that from the fact that the discussion is still open. I am also the one who wants a compromise to be found. This cannot really be said of other users involved in the discussion. Marcus Cyron sticks to his destructive stance “All participants in the Youth Olympic Games that were photographed should get such a category.” (Link) and definitely wants to enforce it. --Xxlfussel (talk) 21:21, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Wow, a category for (even by themselves!) notable participants of a notable event. Incredible demand on Commons!</sarcasm>
The discussion is still open because you derailed it plenty of times, get caught up in inconsistencies over and over again, did not understand the explanations how the category system on Commons works (like having categories for images of an event as well as for sorting files by perople), and repeated your lack of understanding numerous times. Certainly, nobody wants to read this discussion. Nobody wants to make a step into the mud you left behind using sock puppets to manipulate the discussion. My summary (in German) of the whole disussion is here. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 21:34, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I think this is not the right place to discuss the substantive issue again. In my opinion, the discussion is very definitive, there is one individual opinion against all others.
Now an admin should finally formally close this discussion and draw conclusions against the user reported here. --Stepro (talk) 21:59, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

@Stepro: I can only agree with the first part of your last sentence. Then the action had achieved its aim. --Xxlfussel (talk) 22:59, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Given that Xxlfussel used a sockpuppet to support their stance in that discussion, they should consider themselves lucky to have not been indef'd for this abuse. I cannot close the original CfD as I opened it when the category was write-protected and promised to stay neutral on that matter. But moving on to other categories before the first discussion is closed appears to me disruptive. Xxlfussel, it is time to drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. You had your discussion and you didn't get support for your position (with the exception of your own sock puppet). It is now time to move on. --AFBorchert (talk) 22:25, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

@AFBorchert: Sorry again that I misswritten your name the other day. Still, a question about your contribution: Which horse cadavers are you talking about? Bye the way I don't see a problem if you close the discussion. You created it but on my behalf and you were not involved in the discussion. But of course that is your decision. --Xxlfussel (talk) 22:59, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Despite being the one who gave the second warning to the user, I'd have to disagree to this block as premature. Unless I'm missing something here, like they created a page that is OOS or edited another page and placed their article again (which according to xtools' edit counter, they haven't), the user stopped placing their article when I reverted them. I'd assume good faith and say that they are most likely lost. Hence why I opted to give them another warning and advice instead of reporting them here. I think our interpretations of spam and vandalism is different here. I believe it's unfair to block them under the "spamming" rationale, because I don't think they are promoting. If they are, they wouldn't take a long break after they got reverted on 28 November 2020. I don't think their edits are vandalism either, because there's no malicious intent (it's not like they removed someone's discussion and replaced it with their article).
Now if they had done it again after I warned them, then I'd fully support a block. But that doesn't seem the case here. Blocks should be thought of as a last resort action, especially in the case of newbies. pandakekok9 02:33, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
@Pandakekok9: I disagree. They were warned 09:44, 28 November 2020 (UTC). They chose to post the same spam promoting this Tom guy and his robotic surgery experience 08:00, 15 December 2020 (UTC).   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 08:14, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
That's why I opposed the block, because I reverted them in 23 minutes later and sent a warning two minutes after the revert. And they haven't done anything since the warning. So not only your warning is very late, so is the moot block. As I said before, if they were promoting, they wouldn't limit themselves to that. They will include external links and other promotional stuff. Achim55 would've blocked them right away if they knew Schweppsq was promoting. You told me before to assume good faith on newbies; I ask you to do the same. pandakekok9 08:54, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

"A. Sturdivant" is back

Several users have already been reported and banned for editing photo captions to add obviously fake credits. It seems like the people behind this have created a new set of accounts:

The above are only the ones I found after a cursory search - numerous accounts all adding credits for "A. Sturdivant" and other photographers who did not take the image in question. Reported off-wiki by the photographer of File:Running_Man_Kyle_Cassidy.jpg (which has since been reverted) - apparently, after the caption is edited, a company called "Green Cap Marketing" emails web publishers using the photos asking for royalties. If this is the case, this is even more disturbing than just adding captions for promotional purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marksomnian (talk • contribs) 16:31, 16 December 2020‎ (UTC)

TRANSCODE STATUS

I wish to report this change l noticed on transcode status. The BITRATE displayed for about two days now becomes bigger when one wants to download. Eg 160kbps will become 2 or 4 mb. Please Admin do something about it. The displayed bitrate should not change to higher bitrate. 105.112.112.124 19:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, and welcome. While the size of the transcoded file in kB or MB does increase with the bitrate, that size is not reported in the "Transcode status" of any file description page. An enhancement request to show the size, as well as the resolution, was filed almost 8 years ago as phab:T49488. You can get an estimate of the size by multiplying the bitrate by the number of seconds, for example a 102.4 second video transcoded at 160kbps will result in a file that is 16384 kb, 2048 kB, or 2.00 MB in size. For future requests for help, please post to COM:HD.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:43, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

@Taivo: 1868 bytes of wikitext were blatantly copied from en:Template:Whale to Template:Whale in this initial edit without attribution. That's straight-up copyright violation / plagiarism, which should override a DR.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:34, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
No, Jeff. Wikipedia is published under free license. Wikipedia does not demand attribution to authors, because articles and also templates have sometimes tens or even hundreds of authors. If such attribution is sometimes needed, then we give one week for removing mistakes. Deletion is for cases, where mistakes cannot be repaired. Taivo (talk) 13:57, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: This user have been insistently inserting low quality maps in articles referring to the history of Portugal and abuse cross-wiki of multiple accounts to do it (see here and here).

In addition, the editor also uploaded several wrong / exaggerated maps about the Portuguese presence in the Age of Discovery, so I ask that all of these images be eliminated.

Main picture for Category:Taekwondo (d:Q36389) vandalised

User: Fəxri Cəfərov (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: Vandalism: kindly see history of file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:COOK_(GBR)_VS_ZHU_(CHN)_BM_-80KGM12.JPG. Starting at 20:06, 4 January 2021 "Fəxri Cəfərov uploaded a new version of File:COOK (GBR) VS ZHU (CHN) BM -80KGM12.JPG. After this, also on 4 January 2021, he/she has changed this file two times again. By replacing the original taekwondo match photo from the 2008 Olympic Games with totally different picture, blurred image of four young men, damage to tens of wikipedia articles about taekwondo has been created. This is serious file change and can be classified as vandalism, as the original file is used as main picture e.g. in Wikidata id for Taekwondo, d:Q36389, through which it is repeated in tens of language versions of wikipedia. It is requested that the file used prior 4 January 2020 is restored, and user is warned about vandalism, possibly also blocked from Commons. Please check also other changes this user has made: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Fəxri_Cəfərov.

Paju~commonswiki (talk) 02:24, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

After this vandalism, some wikipedia languages have already changed the main picture in their taekwondo article (like ru). But e.g. in ruwikipedia they have not noticed that User:Fəxri Cəfərov has also vandalised file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Taekwondo1.jpg in similar fashion.

Reason for reporting: The same person who uses 105.235.129.0/24 (currently blocked), popped up again and continues to remove file captions. The IP range's abuse goes back to October last year, no helpful contributions since. A longer block may have to be dealt. As a side note, this sort of rapid removal by mobile web IP's should be a separate edit tag (say "caption blanking") or even better, the software shouldn't let you do it so easily.

User: A1Cafel (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: The user has tagged hundreds of my uploads as "source missing" for deletion, although all are mention the government institution, which was the source [3]. The files are all PD by Timorese law and tagged as this. The user even tagged insignias of a municispality and of government entities although they are without doubt from government source. As the user got several deletion warnings some days ago, it seems like a revenge on the project to tag as many files as possible. Causing only work to appeal all deletion requests, without any benifit for the project. In German Wikipedia this is called "Projektstörung" (project violation).

JPF (talk) 19:10, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

This is a good example, how ridiculous this deletion requests are: File:2020-04-28 Solidarity for COVID-19-helpers Timor-Leste.jpg. This is a poster with informations from the government. What else could be the source than government? --JPF (talk) 20:09, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
This is filed in the wrong location, this should be at COM:AN/U, it isn't vandalism. Bidgee (talk) 00:29, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
I came here to say the same thing as Bidgee. (Good faith mistakes are not vandalism.) E4024 (talk) 00:57, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
I am not native English speaker, but a "mistake" is maybe one or two times made. Systematic deletion requests on block is vandalism in German Wikipedia. As I mention, "Projektstörung" is a case of vandalism in German view, not a problem between two users. --JPF (talk) 01:24, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
  • If this report was placed on perhaps the "wrong" page, that doesn't change the underlying issue. A1Cafel posts a continual stream of deletion requests and speedy deletions, faster than any other editors can review them. As a result, many of their speedy requests are actioned automatically, without any further study. They post enough of them on obvious valid grounds that overall they've become untouchable as "doing useful work here". Yet many of their deletions are without basis: Kamala Harris B0UoxZlN 400x400.jpg is against our long-established practice that we don't delete "superseded" formats. The deletions complained of today, File:2020-04-28 Solidarity for COVID-19-helpers Timor-Leste.jpg, File:Ministério do Petróleo e Minerais.jpg, many others, are factually wrong.
These were done as speedy deletion tags, so there would be no further review before deletion. To simplify their effort in warning the uploader of this very large number of deletions, they bulked together their notification. Yet to dispute these deletions, the uploader has had to go through and convert each one to a separate DR, then hope that other editors might become involved. This is all according to clear policy and practice, yet it's also a massive leveraging of the ease of deletion and difficulty of resisting this, in order to stack the deck against the uploader and in favour os summary deletion.
Why are they for deletion at all? Because they're government-issued images, under a blanket free licence as a result. This is clear and without serious dispute. If it was to be disputed, that would require a DR and not an automatic deletion. The nominator's supposed reason of "no source" is untrue and we need to stop treating speedy deletion requests based on untruths as valid! I can see why such a bulk action would find itself labelled as vandalism.
Here are some further uploads from such a government source: File:George E. Glass and Manuel Heitor wearing mask.jpg, File:Yuri Kim and Etilda Gjonaj wearing masks.jpg. Should these be deleted too? Should these be DR'ed as needing addditional OTRS permission, as for Andrew Hastie Orignal (2)? Should they be tagged for deletion for that other currently fashionable and policy-invalid reason, "small image, no EXIF"? No, because the difference is that these were uploads by A1Cafel. They are tagging other editor's work for summary deletion without discussion, yet uploading images with the same copyright status themselves.
These images could be better described. If they're government-sourced images, they presumably have a source URL and adding that to the file description page would make their recording a lot clearer. A better editor would have discussed that with the uploader, explained the benefits, maybe even helped do some of the legwork themself. A1Cafel prefers to simply schedule automated deletion. They do not (ever!) discuss with other editors. They are aware of this AN posting, but have chosen to ignore it. The sum total of their talk page interactions is in issuing threats to block new editors: User_talk:Valentim0106#You_may_be_blocked_soon. These threats are empty (A1Cafel has no power to block them), deliberately intimidating and were issued at the same time as files were listed for discussion, without even waiting for any other editors to discuss whether the files ought to be deleted, let alone whether an editor's actions are block-worthy!
There is a problem here. Maybe not one of vandalism, as we define that, but certainly one of disruption and bullying of other editors. Commons needs to stop that, although I doubt that anything will come of this; A1Cafel is seen as too "useful" in terms of removing this bothersome content. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:56, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
These are tagged precisely as COM:East Timor notes is acceptable. Do you think COM:East Timoris wrong? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:00, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
The photos are uploaded under PD-TLGOV. A1Cafel has put a "no-source"-tag on every of these images, he could find, as I didn't add URLs for every one, as I didn't see any doubt on the origin. Especially no doubt on government insignas, municipal logos and imformation posters. Why not tagging ALL images on Commons with "No source". Surely, you will find some, the uploader can not find anymore all requested informations, while rescuing hundred others. Is this worth? --JPF (talk) 19:47, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

I am closing this as there is nothing to be accomplished here. This is clearly not a case of vandalism, but a dispute between users. I have seen no evidence that this issue was brought up by the initiator of this discussion with the subjects of it. I strongly suggest that all parties of this discussion read Commons:Dispute resolution and highlight the first point of the first section: Talk to the user directly. Use talk pages, be civil, polite and assume good faith if possible. It is not policy, but sound advice on how to approach any dispute or disagreements. Thank you for your understanding. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 15:31, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: On March 12, this guy just moved the historical Albanian flag category, SVG military flags of Albania and the SVG flags of Albania category without apparent reasoning. This is vandalism because every country's flag has a SVG category on their own. One more thing, he even removed the Category:SVG national flags of Albania from File:Flag of Albania (Vertical).svg and File:Nuvola Albanian flag.svg.

SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:13, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

It's not vandalism because there is no need for a separate SVG category when 99% of flags related to Albania are in SVG. You posted this as revenge that I nominated, rightfully so, certain files you have uploaded for deletion. Kj1595 (talk) 08:16, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
No, I did not post this as revenge. That statement you made is delusional to me. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:22, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
You absolutely posted this as revenge. I nominated for deletion all the supposed flags Albania used at the Olympics according to you. In fact, you just reuploaded the same file over and over again using different hues of red. Kj1595 (talk) 08:24, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Go look at the IOC Library website (I sourced them from the flag manuals) and watch the videos/photos of the ceremonies of the Olympics. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:27, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
You post the link here. Why do I have to search? You show us the direct source here. Furthermore, how can a country use ten different flags at the Olympics over a span of three decades? There is only one flag that was used and that is the state flag. Camera footage may show different hue of red on the screen and this is only due to the contrast/color recolution of your tv screen. I can't believe I have to explain this. Kj1595 (talk) 08:33, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Apart from the Albanian flags used in the Olympics, you also tagged the WFB version of the Albanian flag too. I also provided a new link to the Albania article on the new CIA website. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:38, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Where is that link? Kj1595 (talk) 08:39, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Look at the file. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:43, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Again, show me the updated WFB link? You are making the claim, show us the proof. If the link is valid, I will revert my change. Kj1595 (talk) 08:45, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
The file contains the link. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:46, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Also, you seem to have this obsession with reuploading country flags using different color hues. It's a total waste of bandwidth in the Commons servers. You are doing more damage than good. Kj1595 (talk) 08:47, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
You uploaded copyrighted logos too even if they are your own vectorized work. UPDATE: I told the admins that more than 3 copyvios at once (you got 13 copyvios reported to your talkpage) is a no-no. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:50, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
Not necessarily. It was my own vectorized work. The tag wasn't suitable for Commons but they will be reuploaded to the local server in Wikipedia. Kj1595 (talk) 08:51, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: This appears to be an IP sockpuppet of User:Hopeful2014, blocked at Commons and fully banned from Wikipedia. In both cases they have a history for changing East London articles and categories around to fit their own particular view of the city's areas (mainly changing categories and lead "X is an area of Y" sentences), edit warring and socking when challenged on it. Their edits here are restoring February 2020 edits from User:86.152.126.100, which were reverted as vandalism at the time and resulted in a block for that IP. I raised a Wikipedia SPI against the same IP yesterday. (Not sure if this is the correct place to raise a sockpuppet report, COM:SOCK redirects to a checkuser request page, which is not what I'm asking for.)

@Taivo: well, I admit some of the edits is not obvious vandalism, but revert to a worse version, I withdraw my request. What he did is just revert the image to an old, out of date version. But some of the edits are obvious vandalism, for example:
  1. File:China Hong Kong location map.svg: w:Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge has opened in 2018, an obvious artificial island has been built at the east of the airport (google map). [User:Nv7801] updated the coastline, but [User:Turbo Slayer 2021] reverted to an old version.
  2. File:Visa policy of Hong Kong.png: Hong Kong government allows PRC passport holder who are in transit through Hong Kong to and from another country or territory may be granted a stay of seven days on each landing without the prior need to obtain an entry permit[11], [User:Whisper of the heart] has uploaded it. Hong Kong government has extended Belarus visa-free access to 30 days [12] in April 2019. [User:Twofortnights] updated it. But [User:Turbo Slayer 2021] reverted all this updates.
  3. File:Visa policy of Russia.png: [User:Turbo Slayer 2021] reverted the updates of electronic visa, thats makes all the electronic visa color gone (I don't know why do this).

Reason for reporting: He created a lot of redirecting categories to Category:Línea Barca d’Alva-La Fuente de San Esteban\Linha Internacional de Barca d’Alva a La Fregeneda e a Salamanca, even after they were been deleted several times. He was told in the Portuguese Wikipedia that those names are not correct, but he insists on creating a lot of redirecting categories with those names. I ask for someone to move the category to Category:Railway line between Barca d'Alva and La Fuente de San Esteban, delete all the incorrect categories and protect them all for avoiding this user creating them all again. Lojwe (talk) 19:42, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Again, you are the one that is distorting what happened. First it was you started creating several redirects like moving "Linha Internacional de Barca d’Alva a La Fregeneda e a Salamanca", (name that is the one in the portuguese Wikipedia and has several sources to back it up) and continued to make several redirects to either names that were incorrect or unsourced. Every one of those created by me redirects are backed up by sources, but you continue with your campaign despite all. First, in the portuguese Wikipedia and several months ago, you tried to say that this line (between Portugal and Spain) was built and paid solely by spanish state and companie, when i provided several spanish and portuguese sources that this line was paid, built, maintained and operated for decades solely by the portuguese state and companies. The portuguese article is clear on itself of what its real story was and its discussion page is elucidative of the problems that this user has in using correctly sources and what they say, like claiming that the construction and operating sindicate was spanish (when it was called the Sindicato Portuense, i.e. from Porto, Portugal) or uusing a newspaper sourced from a blog that had 3 newspapers about this line, where he quoted the wrong newspaper and the wrong year and it was me that had to correct this basic error. Tm (talk) 20:05, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
There's no sense in what this user says. Even if it would be me who had been doing these incorrect redirecting categories, why is he creating them again and againg when they are being deleted? This user usually reverts what other users do because he thinks he's the only one who's right. I don't want anyone to block him. I just have this problem with him. There's no sense in having all those names redirecting to that category and most of them are not correct or not precise. --Lojwe (talk) 16:25, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: Three reverts (File:Balkans925.png) in span of over 4 years. User that added changes referenced the changes, user Ceha reverts them with reasoning "There is no Bosnia at that time". Same pattern appears here: File:Ex yu fronts 199210.png, File:Srpsko carstvo 1360.png, File:Croatia 1260.png. Also, I noticed referencing series of files (File:Ex yu fronts 199210.png) they uploaded here with a far-right forum hercegbosna.org as a source. They have referenced one post as a "source" and in that post there is some nasty stuff about other people and people of different ethnicity. For the information user has a TBAN on enwiki.

User: Wcr1993 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: Removed legitimate FOP templates without giving a reason. [14][15][16][17]

Eti15TrSf (talk) 04:51, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

This is not vandalism. I guess Wcr1993 simply didn't aware that photos taken in China need to follow FOP requirements and keep the FOP template. You should notify Wcr1993 and wait for his response before reporting vandalism here. Otherwise it is very rude behavior and it is against AGF. Btw, I'd like to point out that Eti15TrSf is a rude and problematic user. He repeatedly reverted my good edits without reasons on many Shanghai Metro articles on zhwp, many of them have been reverted back. And he also made personal attacks to me on enwp, meta and zhwp, see (1)(2) content removed by admin due to personal attacks. Moreover he also made personal attacks on Commons, see (a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f). IMO Eti15TrSf usually create more problems than solve. Like this case a simple reminder to Wcr1993 may solve the issue but he chose to report vandalism here. --Baycrest (Talk) 10:29, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Tm

User: Tm (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: The user Tm erases my proposals to delete three useless and redundant categories made by him 1, 2 and 3. If he disagress, the procedure says he must replace the speedy deletion's tag with a regular deletion request. I consider what he's doing as vandalism. He also deletes my warning on his user talk page. I don't want anyone to block him, just to stop him from creating all this mess. --Lojwe (talk) 00:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Again, the same person and with the same baseless complain. Did he not learn with or forgot about, just in the last month about the same complain here and or in Commons:Administrators' noticeboard, where other user said that "There's nothing wrong with keeping redirection categories where users and readers will find this useful, e.g. Category:Crows". This user is constantly trying to distort " what happened. First it was him that started creating several redirects like moving "Linha Internacional de Barca d’Alva a La Fregeneda e a Salamanca", (name that is the one in the portuguese Wikipedia and has several sources to back it up) and continued to make several redirects to either names that were incorrect or unsourced.
Every one of those created by me redirects are backed up by sources, but he continues with his campaign despite all. First, in the portuguese Wikipedia and several months ago, he tried to say that this line (between Portugal and Spain) was built and paid solely by spanish state and companies, when i provided several spanish and portuguese sources that this line was paid, built, maintained and operated for decades solely by the portuguese state and companies. The portuguese article is clear on itself of what its real story was and its discussion page is elucidative of the problems that this user has in using correctly sources and what they say, like claiming that the construction and operating sindicate was spanish (when it was called the Sindicato Portuense, i.e. from Porto, Portugal) or uusing a newspaper sourced from a blog that had 3 newspapers about this line, where he quoted the wrong newspaper and the wrong year and it was me that had to correct this basic error."
Why this obsession of him? I dont know, but he is the one that started and continues with this tug of war of trying to delete this redirects and his third attempt of forum shopping to block me, even after i tried to remember him of previous discussions. Tm (talk) 00:29, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Again: if you disagree with the speedy deletion, you must replace the speedy deletion's tag with a regular deletion request. Deleting the request is vandalism. --Lojwe (talk) 19:17, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

  • @Lojwe: This is not appropriate as a vandalism report as it is clearly not vandalism.
  • @Tm: Please follow process, whether you like the process or not. You don't get to ignore our agreed community processes, whether it is annoying to you or not. The discussion will guide future creations or deletions.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:09, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 nothing particular to do Users should use agreed community consensus process.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:09, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: The user Tm does not want to follow process. He's creating new redirecting categories and deleting the speedy deletion tags, instead of replacing them with a regular deletion request. When an admin deletes one, he creates another one. See: 1, 2....... --Lojwe (talk) 00:07, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Why do you want delete valid redirects Category:Línea internacional La Fuente de San Esteban-La Fregeneda-Barca d'Alva when even the spanish, in the heritage listing, calls it línea férrea La Fuente de San Esteban-La Fregeneda-Barca de Alba, claiming that this name was "discouraged in the Spanish Wikipedia because it is too long, complicated and can lead readers to error". First ES Wikipedia does not dictate how redirects are made, second, as proven above, claiming that this names can lead to errors are completly wrong and false. This Lojwe as a long story of trying to hide valid names and facts about structures, even when they are backed by dozens of sources and either misread them, cites the wrong source or, when convinient, tries to hide the sourced fact. His continues attempts have several months, either here, in Wikidata or in PT Wikipedia. Tm (talk) 00:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

It has been agreed in Wikipedia to avoid this name because the finally choosen one is clearer. Please, respect decisions. Wikipedia is not yours. You cannot just create a category for every name you find on the Internet. You will find a lot. Are you going to create 40 categories? Please, just be respectful and sensible. This is neither the place nor the way to explain that there are several references with several names. --Lojwe (talk) 00:27, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

 Comment @Tm: this is NOT the place for the discussion over the naming process. All you are doing is demonstrating is the wrong attitude. Please follow the process of taking it through a deletion discussion. You don't get the choice in the matter. At this stage being argumentative like this lends more weight to the complainant than to you. Please follow the process.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:41, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
This user has a long history of disruptive, arrogant and obsessive behaviour. He brings good value here, but his behaviour is not aceptable. He thinks he's the only one who's always right and has an obsessivebly need to impose his point of view. --Lojwe (talk) 00:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
And [[18]] is pretty clear that the only valid reasons to speedy deletion are "Improperly named category" or "Unuseful empty category" and none of this redirects are this two conditions. If this user thinks that this names are invalid why doesnt he nominates them for deletion? What is he afraid?
And if you saw my block logs, you would see almost all of them were reverted as being misused of the blocking tools. If need i can link each and everyone of those and its discussions. But if you are so afraid why dont you nominate them to a regular deletion, What are you afraid of? Tm (talk) 00:51, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
I am not certain that the conversation of "who is the better adult" is a compelling argument. Both of you should reread the guidance, and both follow the process and look to have a harmonious Commons. None of us need the bickering, and we shuold all look to play nicely.

Reason for reporting: Obvious block evasion by the LTA Mazum24, who is known for cross-wiki edit-warring (particularly on tropical cyclone images) and also cross-wiki socking. This is clearly him, based on the behavior. Same types of poor-quality image uploads, multiple behavioral overlaps on the same images edited by other socks (particularly some Hurricane Eta and Typhoon Surigae images), and also characteristic edit-warring (this time on a Middle East map image). If a CU reviews this report, please run a sleeper check, as this LTA is known for leaving behind sleeper accounts. LightandDark2000 (talk) 04:38, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Reason for reporting: File:Hungary 13th cent.png – constant reverts where user changes the map according to his own POV. The borders the users changes are not according to the unsourced picture that user claims is the source (check users summary in the reverts). Please note the user has a TBAN on enwiki for the same reasons along with over 11 blocks he earned on enwiki as well. Mhare (talk) 11:42, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Mhare (talk) 11:42, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

User Mhare is constanly reversing map to wrong version, which puts town of Virovitica in Hungary, as is clearly shown as difference to original. --Čeha (talk) 12:37, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
You are both continuously slow motion edit-warring and therefore repeatedly changing content without an attempt to obtain consensus. This is not acceptable and you both know it is against Commons policies.
  • @Mhare: You are not helping by continuing the edit war cycle, this issue should have been brought to the AN much sooner. That said, thank you for reporting it.
  • @Ceha: You are making a change that contradicts the source you are providing. There is a reason you are topic banned from editing this type of content on enwiki, please do not require us admins on Commons to take similar measures. I am issuing you a single/final warning for edit warring. I am leaving the page unprotected, it shouldn't need to be admin-only because of two disruptive users. If you change the file back without achieving consensus on the talk page, you will be blocked for edit warring.
Let's not meet back here. ~riley (talk) 22:35, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
Riley, there are two things which are wrong with the map.
First one is Požega and Virovitica county in Slavonia, as it's shown in the source. This version would be "the most faitfull" to the provided source.
As for second one, the borders of (southern) Croatia, source should be this map. That border is similar to a 12th century border, as shown in this map.
As for english wikipedia, that ban speaks only about administration on that wiki. This are commons, and I did not break any rule. --Čeha (talk) 00:38, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Yes, you did break a rule - edit warring. As stated, if your disruptive behaviour that resulted in a topic ban on enwiki continues here on Commons, you risk meeting similar restrictions or a block. Oddly enough, Ceha, this version that you've linked isn't even the one you were reverting to in the end. I support this version which addresses issue one, however, you are using a different source for the borders of Southern Croatia that contradict the original source. At that point, you are making a major change and overwriting the file. ~riley (talk) 02:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
@Mhare: What is your response to his comments on the issues with the map? ~riley (talk) 02:41, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
@~riley: , I am sorry for reverting without reaching consensus. This was my second report regarding the same issue as I believe user has the same pattern from en.wiki regarding the POV and pushing it across several files here. I don't really mind the uploads the user makes, but the overwrites of files that are widely used across many projects are little problematic as there was no effort in referencing those changes. Examples are here: File:Balkans925.png, File:Srpsko_carstvo 1360.png, File:Croatia 1260.png. As for the comments they made, I can support this version regarding the file in question. I hope overwriting the files should stop from this point forward, I have no interest in blocking of them. Mhare (talk) 10:42, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Unfortunately I have a problem with user Mhare, as you can see, the guy is not interested in wikirules, but in persecuting me. Could you do something about it?
As for, map I agree that it should be https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/3/3d/20200218165936!Hungary_13th_cent.png , that is the most correct version of the source....
And I uploaded the different file, thanks for guidence :) --Čeha (talk) 15:54, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
  • File has been updated to reflect the version discussed in this chat. Any change that does not align with the source photo should be discussed on the file talk page from hereon and consensus should be achieved before such change is made. Refer to the overwriting rules for when a change requires a different file as its too significant or doesn't match the source. ~riley (talk) 18:52, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

I have noticed user's nominations long ago, but I thought they are based on some substantial reasons! If he nominates solely because of absence of metadata, it is disruptive editing. Absence of metadata means that the photo was edited and nothing more. Any serious photographer edits his photos, often with saving in different file formats which don't support EXIF. There can be thousands of stolen photos with metadata as well as thousands of own photos without it. If absence of metadata was a substantial reason for doubts, images could be nominated by bot. As long as metadata is not explicitly required from the uploaders, we can't delete images solely because of its absence. I ask administrators to carefully look through files deleted due to Kharkivian's nominations and undelete these ones which lack substantial reasons for doubts.

@Drmies: You seem to be under the misapprehension that I am already an Admin here. Sadly, I am not yet. I plan to reapply in August.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 09:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Single purpouse account (sock?)

User: Domicwilkins (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 
Reason for reporting: A new user keep editing and tagging my uploads for no valid reason and seem to try to get them deleted. I am not sure what I should do. I have reverted his edits. Please see: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Domicwilkins . The account seems to have been created today (25. May 2021) and instantly started to edit my uploads. This does not seem good faith to me. I am happy for any advice and for action against this possible vandalism-only account. It seems that it is a sock account, because shortly after my revet, another account started to threat me (see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Landroving_Linguist). It seems the main problem is a picture "Afroasiatic language tree", which is based on an picture from Ecyclopedia Britannica. I am not sure if the claims of the user are true, however, if, I agree to delet the one problematic picture. However, the accusations and threats as well as the use of sock accounts is rather strange and misleading. I am not sure, but someone should check and warn them.

A third sock is now attacking my uploads, shortly after the other account stopped. See:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ghuaadg441. Someone should block them for disruptive and unconstructive edits.HunanZH (talk) 06:53, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
✓ Done. I blocked Domicwilkins for a week, but it seems like here is no sockpuppetry. Taivo (talk) 08:30, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be the other way around? HunanZH uploads files without license. Brittanica.com is copyrighted, see license regulations. Domicwilkins tagged HunanZH's uploads for deletion [37]. --Pp.paul.4 (talk) 13:23, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Most of Hunan's uploads were good and correctly sourced. I nominated two of his uploads for regular deletion and Hunan changed source. The decision not to block Hunan was correct. Taivo (talk) 08:20, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
