On second thoughts, given the array of different penises being uploaded, I suspect this editor may be pilfering from elsewhere. A couple of the images look vaguely familiar, but TinEye and Google images doesn't show anything. It would be worthwhile if an admin could give this person a good checking out. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 10:15, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Which raises a subject I've always wondered about. Why are our vandal warnings {{Test}}, {{Test2}},{{Test3}}, and {{Test4}} rather than something logical like {{Vandalwarning2}}, with a shortcut {{Vw2}}? I can understand {{Test}}, but the others don't make much sense.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 00:24, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Pierre, I had the same question. The YaltaExpert1945 image is, as you say, a different image (see Churchill's hat, for example), but also the man to the left of the pillar has been replaced, see http://content.answcdn.com/main/content/img/getty/6/5/2642765.jpg.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 15:28, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Please check the talk page link I gave for additional context, also his talk page. He has done this several times before and been warned by an admin not to. The images is specifically a fake that he has uploaded before.Hohum (talk) 19:28, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Please give us credit for having done that. The cited links do not directly discuss or illuminate the fact that the offending image is both a different image from the good one and then modified. It is not at all clear that there is a problem until you look at the version I cited above.
It is true that this user has created a problem in the past, but his last action here was three months ago. I do not see any evidence of his having "been warned by an admin not to", so I have warned him. Other than that, I see no reason to take any action now.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:33, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
I wasn't trying to be snarky, my apologies for seeming so. I am confused however, since I am referring to the last time you warned him. Surely, since this is the only thing the account does, it's a single purpose vandal? Hohum (talk) 21:29, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
No need for apology -- I didn't see snarkiness, only disagreement. I should apologize -- I didn't make my reasoning completely clear.
My previous warning was {{Dont recreate}}, which had little to do with vandalism. Since his last upload was in December, I see little point in a short block -- he may not even notice it. A long or indefinite block needs a very clear warning and more reason than two or three vandal actions.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 10:32, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I have closed one of the DRs. Apparently Evelyn-Theresia thinks that the description is incorrect, but that is not a reason for deletion.

Why this User puts a Deleting Request on my Userpage, when 2 pictures where in the wrong category? And why this user doesn't answer when i talk to her on her discussionpage? --My Friend FAQ 06:20, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
I think the {{Delete}} on your user page was a mistake by a new user. The repeated DRs on one of your images was a reaction to your incorrectly removing the {{Delete}} before the DR was closed.
I myself would not have responded to your "WAS MACHST DU???" It strikes me as aggressive and uninformative. If you really want an answer to a question, you must provide enough context so that the recipient can answer without having to figure out the subject of the question. And you should not do it in all caps -- shouting.
You are a very experienced editor. Evelyn-Theresia is a newbie. We try hard to be kind to newbies -- not shouting at them when they make mistakes. I know that is sometimes hard, but we were all newbies once.     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:12, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Incorrect was not my removing of the Deleting Requests, incorrect was to put a Deleting Requests on the whole Picture, although it was only a wrong category ... by the way, it wasn't me who has put the wrong category to the pictures.

Date vandal

I think we have someone on our hands who has been vandalizing the dates of photos from at least two accounts Joe the Red Bird (talk · contribs) and Joey the Tin (talk · contribs). I figure anyone who is doing this from two accounts is probably doing it from more. Note that the changes do not appear to be random: incorrectly dating a photo of a lion dance around Chinese New Year, incorrectly dating a photo of Chinese fireworks to coincide with Hong Kong reverting to China. - Jmabel ! talk 02:46, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

cialis vandalism wave

The last few days I've noted a wave of "cialis" vandalism, i.e. unsolicited postings/comments often containing mainly nonsense, but always the word cialis, which is the marketing name for a drug against some special dysfunction (en:Tadalafil). Most often it is placed file talkpages or user talkpages, rarely in such a vandalist manner as here by 94.181.154.156 (talk · contribs). I am not sure if it meant as marketing/spam or just plein vandalism. We might look whether it's coming from the same IP range. --Túrelio (talk) 13:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism - user Silar

Hello! We have another vandalism acts and editions war caused by User:Silar (earlier case was with Category:Alicja Wosik). Nowadays we have a new problem with that user. Please take a look at File:00876 Archäologischen Ausgrabungen auf dem Michaelerplatz vor der Pfarrkirche in Sanok. Zustand am 15 Mai 2012.JPG and reverted editions Silar. I edited this file by adding the new and right one "over category", because the ilustration concern the place "Category:Świętego Michała Square in Sanok" so right is the [[Category:Excavations at Świętego Michała Square in Sanok]].

When I change category into the this special category, in response Silar deletes my editions. I really don't understand unjustifiable and unfounded reverts of User Silar, that seems as thoughtless acts. I mention, that this case in not the first that concerns Silar. I wrote him a post on his discussion site but there is no discussion with him - no any talk with Silar, because he don't want to discuss and never answers. And additionally he deletes posts of other users at his discussion site - please take a look at that - it's blank page. It's not the first time he do like this. It is an unacceptable situation, when the user blocks out the content of discussion page, so there is no direct way to prove a talk or posts.

Please react to this situation. --Lowdown (talk) 13:30, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Jermboy27 again in action

✓ Done

  • Reasons for reporting: Jermboy27 is again in action. For user who don't know who is him, he's the wizard of road signs: creator of tables of signs into invented countries (as Hotsapore, Badziki, Dozec, Rafid etc...), crosswiki vandal into the same field with an impressive number of multiple IPs, uploader of down-scaled copies of existant files of signs...
The "Moriarty of Vandals", as i said in my last notice about him some months ago. Because he's very able to hide his vandalisms, masking them with serious (or similar-serious) edits. As Road signs of Belgium, patrolled by me today, or Road signs of Japan (august), created by him as a copy of enwiki article, than vandalized by anons in last months. Style is always the same: when he do a serious edit, he vandalize it blanking or adding other, doing edits with nonsense comments as what do you want? (what WHO want?). This is a quite perfect strategy. To create confusion into users, confuse his hundreds (!) of edits and to make a general check and fix quite impossible, because he seems to be always present on Commons, and lots of this anons escaped from my 1st and 2nd notices in august and january.
An example lookin' at 203.59.18.201 contribs into file descriptions: is this imperceptible (by kb) change or this other serious or not? I really don't know. I can't patrol, also because edits as this one, by the anon listed above, are hundreds or thousands. Road signs of Sweden was clearly vandalized (massive blanking), but... in Ireland or in Spain, Italy (created by Jermboy2012 -banned-), Germany, France, Poland? The strategy is to confuse: edits with nonsense phrases as yeeeeah!, what you want?, not any more... some edits very constructive... but hoaxes and jokes scattered everywhere, in files as in galleries... and they are quite impossible to patrol for a single user who reports his activity here. In the months (because i've noticed him here twice with details) I've learned his tactics. He increased contributions and, from 2012, in an exponential way. If him and sp were circa 10, contemporary acting into few fields, by now i can extimate they are lots more, with lots more of contribs on differents pages and files.
I've found my past notices about him:
  1. My detailed report of July (entitled HorseWitch)
  2. My detailed report of August (entitled HorseWitch)
  3. My detailed report of December (entitled 124.148.202.69 a.k.a. Jermboy (again))
All details of user's habits, deleted pages, indef blocks, list of sockpuppets are listed there. Mainly the 2nd and the 3rd are very detailed, including the crosswiki vandalisms detected at Polish, French and English Wikipedias. Sorry if some link is not reported here.
To end: For all of this reasons and user characteristics, I think that the user is become more dangerous for Commons (and for all Wikimedia projects) than the famous "WoW". He's a sort of genius between vandals. Differently from a typical one, that uses to making fun of WM projects with blatant vandalisms simply to laugh of us, to troll, to revenge of somebody. A troll or a spammer is simple to discover, notice and block. He's another thing. Road signs are widely showed into Wikipedia tables and useful for readers. A good way to mine the reliability of Wikimedia is to make little changes, to seem serious into contribs at almost, to confuse patrollers, to change basic datas of used files, or for example to change population datas, birth days, using some tricks to bypass tag filters. Vandalisms as this may stay months or years. If i blank a page writing hallo my vandalism is reverted by a bot in 30 seconds... User makes thousands of edits with lot of ips. I've listed only 8 acting in last days but, following the histories of various pages, they are more. Lots more. Still today I was able to patrol all suspected vandalisms of vandals noticed by me. I had difficulties in december to check contribs by Jermboy... But by now I can't: the activities of all this sp in last months is unbelievably enormous. I'm really sorry for this and I suspect to have discovered only the summit of the iceberg, because I noticed him 3 times but from 2012 I've noted anything.
IMHO, the issue of Jermboy is more than a simple case of "the vandal laughing of us". An user spending all this time to edit seriously as an alibi and, contemporary, to scatter hoaxes and imperceptible vandalisms seems to be an user that is searching for a way to "destroy" reliability of Commons and WMF. Is it a way to make a strict and selected long rangeblock avoiding to block thousands of users? Is it a policy on Commons to report a mail to his provider (sorry if my terms are not technically corrects) or to a judiciary institution (i'm only asking)? As for an "ip search" site IPs seems to come to the same place of a country... I avoid to write cause I don't know if it's forbidden, also if the ip search are, of course, only approximate. I've asked this because the possible dimension of damages could be (very) greater of my hypothesis, difficult to check without a specific task force and Jermboy's "jokes" seems to increase considerably after each reporting. Sorry for my English, I hope to be as clearer as possible. --Dэя-Бøяg 09:09, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
As I've never heard of him before, is there some consensus that his edits can be reverted on sight? --Túrelio (talk) 08:19, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
Infact... I've reverted only the page about Sweden, recently heavily blanked, and Japan. By now I completed my report. All sp of Jermboy27 I reported here were infinitely banned. Ah, of course, details are in the numbered reports above and it is also This sp investigation archive at en.wp. --Dэя-Бøяg 09:14, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
I hope this report is clear. I repeat, sorry if some important details (with links to proof what I said and i'm saying today) are shown only in the 3 numbered links... They're sufficiently exhaustives (IMHO)... And... ehm... I'm tired: meaning that to report this "case", I forgot to go to bed :-) ... --Dэя-Бøяg 09:24, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Some other anon SP

This is only a summary of IPs acting in last months... Some edits are perfectly valid, main problem is the same: Jb27 create a good page, he contribs to it with a dozen of ips, sometimes vandalizing his work and sometimes improving... and... after months he simply blanks it... And also Mathonius have discovered and reverted some of this self-blankings. The style is always the same: see for example -this vandalism with "not any more!"... as for other edit summaries as this one, or the what do you want?-style ... does he speaks alone or with a road sign poltergeist? Seriously, there are lots of them also in december, at the time of my 3rd report. Nothing seems to stop him and, for exemple, there are two of this ips, noticed with bold text, acting yesterday and some hours ago. Road signs in Austria, his creation, is (or seems to be) good but... how many time will pass and it will be blanked, hoaxed or else; as the Japanese-related gallery? Just to say, all the IPs (I controlled) come from the same area. Note: quite all road signs-related galleries have been touched by Jermboy and, due to the variety of IPs, it's no possible to list all of them. --Dэя-Бøяg 04:18, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Note: Also EnWiki is infested by this ip invasion. See Road signs in Japan and in Ireland. Style is unmistakable: why pay more? as summary for the edit you can see... --Dэя-Бøяg 04:38, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm... I'm watching, the ips are lot and, of course, JB seems to be not interested by the warning notices, blocks and other. This you reverted is the usual vandalism about categories, this "thanks!" is the usual conversation with a poltergeist... Does the user has an EVP on PC telling him -vandalize, vandalize!-? :-) ... Of course, not an explaination by him of what he's really doing, the initial edits or road signs in xxx pages are useful, just to wait for a future partial blanking... User IMHO wants to disturb, to confuse; a very laborious way to make fun of us. And I've seen he knows when/where stop suspect contribs. Controlling all this contribs and find what are vandalisms and what not, is simple as to separe water from olive oil in the same glass. I'm impressed by the number of IPs... Just to cite the Private W. Hudson: They're coming outta the walls! They're coming outta the goddamn walls! Does he uses an open proxy? --Dэя-Бøяg 19:41, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Tuesday:

A suggestion: Due to the particularity of this case, could it be possible to think about a subpage named Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Vandalism/Jermboy27 (shortcut: "COM:ANVJB")?. We could link the 4 reports on Commons, make a list of socks and ips, to trace a list of crosswiki sockpuppets, to link useful pages at enwiki (as the SPI page dedicated to him or the categories of confirmed and suspected sp), to link this new report page to the admins of enwiki (in which he's operating), or also fr.wp, pl.wp etc... Just to maintain a page with all this content because, as I see, he has no purpose to stop, but to continue day by day, with a battalion of IPs... Differently from last summer, when I reported him for the 1st and 2nd time, his activity increased, exponentially, expecially in last days. User seems to be stimulated in a sort of challenge. This is an idea I had. Another could be a rangeblock, but I don't know the effects on other potential anon contributors...
PS: I note that his abitual IPs (124, 203 and 58) changed today in the list above. It appeared 125 and 202... --Dэя-Бøяg 00:53, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Category:Okopisko at Jagiellońska Street in Sanok

I created new category Category:Okopisko at Jagiellońska Street in Sanok. It is the garden/park at Category:Jagiellońska Street in Sanok. Former was it field of jewish cemetery. The problem could be word "OKOPISKO" - see definition at polish wiki [27], that says it could have negative meaning. BUT further, the nexr sentence of that definition we have another meaning, that in Category:Subcarpathian Voivodeship (region of Poland; Sanok lies in it) this word has NEUTRAL poignancy. So there is no problem, there is any antisemitism in it, it is used by people, mayors, historians and has in that case no "bad blood" and no good will. I gave the few verifiable sources: 1, 2, 3.

I cleared it in Commons:Categories for discussion/2012/06/Category:Okopisko at Jagiellońska Street in Sanok.

Besides the new created category by user IP 46.174.26.245 (and accepted by User:Foroa) is wrong. Because 1) it isn't square!!!! it is garden with different geometric shapes. Second, there isn't only one garden at Jagiellońska Street in Sanok, so how could be named this place as only square???

I mention that IP user 46.174.26.245 it is User:Silar - he makes regular vandalisms and impermissible editions.

Category:Okopisko at Jagiellońska Street in Sanok

Please react at the act of vandalism on Category:Okopisko at Jagiellońska Street in Sanok made by IP user 46.174.26.245 (a.k.a. Silar). You can read the discussion, description on polish wikipedia site (Art. wiki pl). 46.174.26.245 still reverts the editions, adds his part of description that is groundless. --Lowdown (talk) 08:06, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

The term "Okopisko" is not used anywhere in the verifiable sources. No encyclopedic and antisemitic content. The term "Okopisko" literally means - graveyard of dead animals. It seems to be just a derogatory term used for the purposes of the interwar period propaganda. "Na określenie cmentarza żydowskiego stosowano także nazwę okopisko. W gwarze ludowej okopiskiem nazywano miejsce, gdzie grzebano padłe zwierzęta." Andrzej Potocki. Podkarpackie judaica. 1993.

Take a look a at "Okopisko" description at article polish wikipedia pl. There is few meanings and cases of that term. "Okopisko" is used in books, publications, tradition and by people. There is no negative problem with that. Do not believe the propaganda of IP user 46.174.26.245 a.k.a. Silar. He changes his names and IPs. This person makes problems with his irrational editions and uploads of images with no permission of copyrights. He was many times blocked on wikipedia.pl and here on wikicommons. You can check it, because that is the same person:

Please do not bow to his narrow-minded invention. --Lowdown (talk) 10:36, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

User:OfficialLiamHowlett

You know, I get a little concerned about Commons when a user uploads a file that he supposedly made, calls it "public domain", says in the description "this is public domain prease dont bann me viacom lol" and nobody apparently notices. See here for exactly the above. Same user also uploaded this, which is some random unidentified person, "public domain" because "some guy sent it to me." This, which should have been flagged for filename, this(which I have no idea what it is), and this, which is blatant trash. All have suspect licenses, one has an open OTRS ticket for some reason, and all of these files have been used for nothing except vandalism on enwiki (just see enwiki contribs for the same user, who was just banned for a month for deliberately triggering the edit filter). the "Le jew face" pic was inserted in Adam Yauch's article and anything with a Hebrew title. "My first song" ended up in Aphex Twin and several other articles.

I have requested deletion of all these files, but I see no reason to wait the month to six weeks it usually takes for some sort of consensus to be built up. I request that the above files be CSDed, and the uploading user indef blocked for misuse of Commons. MSJapan (talk) 22:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of Photoshopped picture

--First off, I am not very familiar with how to use wikipedia(as you can see i created this account today)and have been editing articles without logging in. But i needed to report a file and decided to create an account. I apologize if this is a duplicate request. I have created a request on the Village Pump page as well.

I am trying to nominate a picture for deletion. It is located at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bushra_Ansari1.jpg and has been (badly) photo-shopped. In addition, I would like to remove that picture from the Wikipedia entry of that actress. There is one user that is hell bent upon presenting baseless arguments and "proofs" that the picture is authentic and has been very proactive in preventing the picture from being deleted both from wikipedia and also from the Wikipedia page of that actress. Based on the page history of that actress, that user continually monitors it and reverts any changes where anyone removes the picture from the page. I personally don't have the sort of time that individual does to continually compete with him as it's pointless to do so. He is convinced that the picture is real and doesn't waste a second to re-add it to the article. There for I would like to go through the correct route and have this issue resolved. I am computer science major and can vouch that the picture is photo-shopped. In addition here is some actual proof to my argument rather than claims made by the user (Basheera Masih is his name) :

-The actress attended the Lux Style awards in 2007, where the following picture was taken on the red carpet. The sari blouse in the picture is very low cut but there is no evidence of cleavage :http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=117000378365929&set=o.140552222643969&type=3. Recently, a modified version of this very picture was recently circulated over the net and via mass emails and that same version was added to Wikipedia.The doctored version found over the net and on wikipedia is zoomed-in, cropped, and badly photo-shopped version of the original. Also notice the badly doctored blouse and hair wisps that are falling on her left shoulder. That picture made its way to wikipedia and can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bushra_Ansari1.jpg

-In another picture from the same event, Bushra's cleavage is slightly visible but that is a completely different picture that does not lend anything to the credibility of the photoshopped picture in question. That other picture is somehow being used as proof that the picture in question is authentic.

-Any attempts to remove the picture from the actress's wikipedia page have been reverted by the user Basheera Masih, who claims that the actress communicated to him that the picture is authentic. Bushra Ansari is Pakistan's busiest performers and does not have an official email address, her facebook page is also maintained by fans and isn't official. I request that this attempted spamming be taken seriously and the picture be removed from wikipedia. Rizwanahmedkhan

  • he has been offending me several times here: [49] Falsificazione da parte di Patavium non accettata! = Falsification by Patavium not accepted. I simply tried to restore what in Italy today you understand under Ladin
  • Here he stated I brought zero sources (ZERO! fonti), actually he shouted at me.
  • He substituted this file of Trentinian census, which has never lead to discussions, with this highly controversial map [50], where, against the evidence of the census, Mocheno and Cimbrian were made German, while they area actually assessed separately. http://www.statistica.provincia.tn.it/binary/pat_statistica/demografia/15CensGenPopolazione.1340956277.pdf 15° Censimento della popolazione e delle abitazioni Rilevazione sulla consistenza e la dislocazione territoriale degli appartenenti alle popolazioni di lingua ladina, mòchena e cimbra = 15th census of population and housing Enquiry about the number and the location of those who belong to the population of Ladin, Mocheno and Cimbrian language.

I'd like to point out that Patavium's activities here on Commons, since his very first edit, consist exclusively (!) - that means: without contributing anything within project scope - in personalized (and in most cases poorly justified) actions against Sajoch, the author of some valuable maps like this one or that one or that one. He does so in straight continuity with the long-term antagonism between him and Sajoch in - so far - three different language Wikipedias, leading to several blocks for both of them. Well, I agree that this case is rather fitting for the User problems-page, but I'd really like to have an administrator stepping in and avoiding that Patavium's sudden interest for this project has the effect that this destructive user conflict finds a new playground here on Commons... --Mai-Sachme (talk) 08:50, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

  • "... if bad behavior continues..." - what bad behavior?!?!?!?!?! If you read what I've written here, before I created this user account called "Pianochanging", and if you read the description of the picture here, you'll realize that my behavior is reasonable. The person behind the two user accounts (SudoGhost and SudoKamma) imputes motives to me that I don't have. Actually, the person behind the two (or more) user accounts is the one who is making vandalism because he keeps changing the original picture to a misleading and strange picture. I think he don't know much about pianos because he cannot see his changings of the picture make no sense.

Somewhat funny claim by a user who had been blocked[60] for vandalism after making edits such as [61], [62], [63], [64], [65]. Anyway, "out of scope" is per se a legitimate deletion rationale. As admins on this project every day have to delete so many copyvios, promotional and other out-of-scope uploads/pages in the short time we have, any of us can err every now and then. While this may be unpleasant at the moment, it isn't an act of vandalism and can easily be reverted.

This IP is currently vandalizing four files I have uploaded because it doesn't like the way I licensed them. The IP has now also threatened me by saying I'm committing an infraction and I will be blocked. I also have reason to believe it may in fact be User:Maxxl2 while signed out, as that user has raised the same "problem" with my choice of licensing over at the AN/U board, so I'd like the IP to be temporarily blocked for a week and a checkuser on Maxxl2 if possible, please. Fry1989 eh? 00:11, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

The IP also has shown enough knowledge of how Commons works to be able to check a user's logs for blocks, which suggests it is an experienced user who wants to hide, another reason for a checkuser. I am now making a formal request on the Checkuser page. Fry1989 eh? 00:38, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
You're going to need a stronger case than that! CU isn't used for fishing, in this case it is just a suspicion you have with no diffs showing a possible match and you're at the wrong noticeboard, COM:RFCU is the correct noticeboard and you'll note the expectations for a CU. Bidgee (talk) 00:52, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm not fishing, they have the same problem, they use the same language, and the IP has an obvious knowledge of Commons. In any case, the threat and repeated edit warring by the IP deserves a temporary block. Fry1989 eh? 01:06, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
You're fishing, you've made a lot of enemies both on Commons and English Wikipedia, so you have other editors other than Maxxl2 using the "same language" and the knowledge of the "block log". This is a content dispute, not vandalism. Bidgee (talk) 01:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Yes, including you, so don't preach to me about how I've "made enemies" when you're one yourself. The Checkuser request and the request for the IP to be blocked for edit warring/vandalism are two separate things'. You've made your opinion clear, if you're unwilling to block the IP then move on, but I'm not gonna argue with you any longer. Changing a file's information without a valid reason is vandaliam, and repeatedly doing so is edit warring, the IP needs a block. Fry1989 eh? 01:23, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Please assume good faith and remain civil. I'm not going to block as this isn't vandalism, it is a content dispute and this isn't the noticeboard for a CU. Bidgee (talk) 01:34, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
It absolutely is vandalism and edit warring, and if you want to pretend that if an IP kept changing the information on a bunch of your uploads you wouldn't call it vandalism and potentially block the IP if it became a repetitive problem, I'm sorry if you think that's assuming bad faith butI don't believe you. As for my CU, I already said I made a formal request on the CU page, if you want to reject my reasoning for one, please do so there. This was originally to report an IP repetitively changing my uploads' information and then threatening me. Fry1989 eh? 01:44, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
This is the vandalism noticeboard, this isn't a edit warring nor CU noticeboard, this is a content dispute over licensing steaming from the COM:AN/U thread. In the opening comment in this section, you requested a CU, which is the wrong noticeboard for such request. Bidgee (talk) 01:56, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Ok, let's see what this guy calls a threat :

  • Fry : If you touch the files again changing their licensing and such, I will have this IP blocked for vandalism. This is the only warning. (interesting way to start a talk)
  • IP: You can still try to complain for vandalism : you are the vandal by claiming you are the author. This is an infraction to the original files license. You've done nothing excepting extracting someone else work. You will be blocked (once again, as your blog log shows). (It can be described as sarcastic but not threatening)

  • IP (crediting the original file) : extracting someone else work does not make it yours
  • Fry (reverting the claim that he is the author) : return original license, next change will result in vandalism charges (note how he is directly agressive)
  • IP (revert) : once again, extracting someone else's work does not make it your work
  • Fry (revert) : Piss off or I will have yoru IP blocked for vandalism. Do you understand? No more warnings (insults and threats not showing any will to discuss)
  • IP : insulting other people does not change anything : when you choose to use a file, you are to agree the license terms. You have done nothing in this file excepted extracting a part of a file made by someone else. You cannot claim it's your work. (still looking for any discourtesy)
  • Fry (still persisting to claim he is the author of a part of file he simply extracted from another): bye bye, you were warned'.

So please stop presenting yourself as the victim. You are describing the file in a way that strongly suggest it is your work and attacking anyone who tries to make things the good way. And when your misbehaviour is spotted you go and cry on admins boards. 86.195.82.92 01:52, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

I am doing nothing of the sort on the files in question and suggesting I am supports the baseless accusations of Maxxl2. Trust me, if I wanted to steal another users work and pass it off as my own, I could easily do so, I certainly wouldn't use their attribution license and hotlink their original file in the description box! And yes, your IP telling me "you're gonna be blocked" is a threat. My telling you that if you continue your course of action then I will report your IP for blocking is a warning, big difference. My patience is thin, I have zero obligation to beg your IP to stop doing what you're doing. I am the victim here, the victim of baseless accusations of bad faith intentions which aren't true. You've proven you're an experienced user who is hiding behind his IP, I will find out who you are, with or without a checkuser. I never forget. Fry1989 eh? 02:09, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Oh and one other thing. Your comment "not showing any will to discuss" is the height of irony and hypocrisy considering you did not come to me to discuss, but rather choose to just edit my upload yourself, and then repeat when I reverted you. Who didn't show any will to discuss again? Fry1989 eh? 02:17, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Reasons for reporting: Several articles link to this map [66], as do articles in about 50 different language Wikipedias. The map has been carefully discussed on the talkpage of [of Europe], as can be seen at [talk page]. This morning, a Turkish user replaced the map with a new version in which he had inserted a rather extreme Turkish POV. The Kurdish areas in South-Eastern Turkey had been colored Turkish. Even more bizarre, relatively large areas of Germany had been colored as Turkish-speaking!! While there are a fair number of Turkish immigrants in Germany, it's absurd to claim that Turkish is the main language in large parts of the country. To the best of my knowledge, no German city is majority Turkish, let alone a German region, and most second-generation Turks in Germany speak German. In addition to the imposing Turkish on the Kurdish areas and parts of Germany, the Turkish language areas of Bulgaria and Greece were also modified, but these changes are small. This is a rather clear case of a nationalist-driven POV-pushish made without even discussing the matter first. The same user already has several blocks for disruptive editing, and is currently edit-warring with a similar Turkish POV at Bulgaria [67], [68], [69].

Unlawful deletion

ResolvedJim followed the procedure and usages of the project, nothing more to solve here. --PierreSelim (talk) 10:21, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

I´d like to point out that Эlcobbola talk deleted an image, thus vandalizing it, [[70]] after the discussion was closed. The top of the page clearly states: This deletion debate is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive. You can read the deletion policy or ask a question at the Village pump. If the circumstances surrounding this file have changed in a notable manner, you may re-nominate this file or ask for it to be undeleted. It is unacceptable for any administrator to go against established rules and bypass procedures to fit their fancy. I request that the image be reinstated and if anyone thinks that the deletion procedure be reinstated, so be it. Administrators have a duty to act within the rules and follow proper procedures. Same goes for (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me for adding comments outside the proper channel. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 05:32, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

@Tomascastelazo, just to be sure: is your strange header "Unlawful deletion" a legal threat? Who has violated what law in your opinion?
Besides, your claims about the process seem non-factual to me. Let's see the chain of events: nearly a year after keep-closure of the initial DR, the image had been speedy-tagged by 1Veertje. Jim, aware of the earlier DR, kindly converted the speedy to a new DR to allow again for dissussion. In this new DR discussion there was 1 keep and 1 delete "vote". Two weeks after the last comment, Эlcobbola evaluated the case by himself and decided that it needs deletion. No problem with the procedure.
Sure, such a copyright scenario (copyrighted character on a balloon) is not an easy black and white one as it escapes the standard provisions of copyright laws. However, as long as copyvio is a real possibility, we need to delete per COM:PRP in order to protect re-users from costly litigation for copyright infringement by the copyright holder. --Túrelio (talk) 07:48, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

By unlawful I mean outside proper procedure. There was no new deletion request, just an add on to the closed one. If the image was kept, why was a speedy deletion tag even allowed? I just do not see a new DR, just a buch of admins covering each other´s back to suit their fancy. I upload serious material with value, and it really bothers me to have it censored by reasons that live in minds that are not necessarily knowledgeable in the matter that they judge. Rules are applied selectively and even the participant admins in this case violate the spirit of Commons with impunity. Take the gallery of 1Veertje for example, full of Out of Scope images that should be deleted, even possible copyvios, yet nothing is done about it. Reminds me of George Orwell´s quote in Animal Farm: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:22, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

There was no new deletion request, just an add on to the closed one => if an image is being nominated for deletion not for the first time, then the DR script adds the new request automatically to the same page below the old DR instead of creating a new page. That's normal here on Commons. --A.Savin 15:43, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
He knew that quite well already, he's a user since 2006. And he even commented in the 2nd DR by himself[71]. It's just willfully inflammatory rhetoric. The same as his labels unlawful, censor, violate, impunity, when none of these is appropriate. --Túrelio (talk) 15:46, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Tomascastelaz's comments speak for themselves; he has been blocked not once, not twice, but three times for the same behavior. Note, also, the new POINTy upload. Эlcobbola talk 15:58, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

And I quote Orwell again: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” So I can be accused of inflamatory rethoric, but I cannot point out wrongdoing, either by comision or omision? How fitting. Just do your job with integrity. I am not a problem uploader, on the contrary, I build, unlike others. And I ask again, was proper procedure followed? Because either procedure was violated or the text on the DR is outdated. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:22, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

It often happens that DRs are reopened for a variety of reasons. As mentioned above, DRs are usually filed under the filename of the picture proposed for deletion. This explains why there are two successive but different DRs on the same page. Neither was the procedure violated, no is the text in the DR outdated: the old DR wasn't edited, but a new one was appended to it. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 16:44, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Oh, so I see... if a censor does not like the decision of an admin that keeps an image, he just goes aroud to find a friendly to renominate for deletion until he gets a hit. No new developments came up to warrant renomination... And I am still not convinced that proper procedure was followed. The deleting admin nos has nominated another image of mine alluding my motives... Divine powers I guess. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 03:33, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Now Эlcobbola has nominated an image dating back to 2010 #[[72]], tying it to the current deletion request. I guess he figures in killing two birds with one stone. If anything, he should open a new DR and not try to sneak it under the shadow of another nomination. Why link an older image to a current discussion? If this is not harrassment, I do not what is. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:50, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

The deletion-request rationale is the same for both images and both contain a slanderous misrepresentation of Commons by the uploader. Copyright violations have nothing to do with "free speech" and deletions of copyright-violating material from Commons is not censorship. Of course, you knew that already in 2011, but choose to abuse language for your own purposes then and now. --Túrelio (talk) 19:16, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

User:Krolet

Hello all. I'm from vi Wikipedia and I'm helpless to notice you that a sockpuppet from vi Wiki is still trying to add wrong info into our projects. Its name is "Krolet".

Actually, its original name is "Namkhanh02" and was blocked by Commons sysops some weeks ago for vandalism. Its new puppet Krolet has tried to upload a lot of images with fake source and fake license. Here's an example:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Frog_and_Dragonfly_(In_the_Shade_of_Trees).png

  • Firstly, this sockpuppet always describes image's source as "Originally from vi.wikipedia; description page is/was and ... here.", but FYI there's no such thing in vi Wiki.
  • Secondly, this puppet always describes image's license as "public domain" but actually it just downloads images from Vietnamese websites and uploads here with fake license.
  • Thirdly, this puppet tries to add wrong info into Commons. Here's an evidence: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Archeological_objects_of_Vietnam&action=history

Explanation: the puppet tries to categorize "Cartoons of Vietnam" as ""Archeological objects of Vietnam"'s parent category. Now you can see how shifty it is.

This is crazy but many of Vietnamese sysops just don't care about undoing this puppet's trashy edits. I hope you guys can find some method to block this sockpuppet forever.

P.S: This puppet really care about: flags, cartoons and politics. This helps me identify it, really. 118.68.198.195 11:50, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

This sockpuppet has been blocked in vi.wikipedia.org. Reason: "Con rối của thành viên bị cấm: Con rối của C" (literally "Sockpuppet of C"). C is the original account of this sockpuppet. You can see the log here: http://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thành_viên:Krolet
