User:Lingveno

I've blocked Lingveno on en.wiki in part due to them proxying for Wuestenigel who was blocked here in January. They should presumably be blocked here too and any of their uploads that are attributed to Marco Verch should be nuked. For context, see this discussion on de.wiki where the uploads of Wuestenigel were used in extortion. Smartse (talk) 20:19, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Also Semso98 Artix Kreiger 2 (already blocked, but not nuked). There are a lot of derivative works of Wuestenigel's uploads that should presumably be deleted [1] e.g. [2]. Smartse (talk) 21:02, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

@Smooth O: I will not act upon your requests anymore because of Revision of File:PANORAMA-BOLJA.jpg. We know this user is banned, but deletion is another matter and one may not invoke Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion #G4 without specifying which file was deleted by the community consensus. Also no edit summary and minor edit mark (the same in Revision of File:Vrbanja-Siprage.jpg). Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:35, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

OK, no problem, but i don't understand different approach in this case, because in all other cases with this sockpuppet, after block all files were nuked. See: Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Blocks_and_protections/Archive_22#User:Wulverophag, Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems/Archive_68#User:Aboriginero_sockpuppet_of_Yahadzija and Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems/Archive_64#User:Чакмак_sockpuppet_of_User:Yahadzija. --Smooth O (talk) 08:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
  Comment. Deleting uploads of sockpuppets is not mandatory. We can do that, especially if they are small files or have bad quality or lacking metadata or have some other problems, but actually "uploaded by locked sockpuppet" alone is not enough to delete a file and no policy requires that. Taivo (talk) 08:44, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I blocked and reverted this IP. Probably the former admin reported above. I semi-protected all vandalized templates. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:52, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Sock puppets of Altman

Altman (talk · contribs) is a well-known puppeteer in en.Wikipedia. Some of his en.Wikipedia-confirmed controlled accounts exist on Commons as well (although part of them are empty). Here we see another piece of evidence. Please, block all puppet accounts. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:56, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: you probably do not remind our yesterday dispute, hence I say it again – it is pointless to block (let alone indefinite block) the main account of a person who does not break policy currently. It is not about prevention, much worse, it encourages creation of puppets. Socking is a breach of policy – block all socks (note that Yann blocked only one of them) and watch whether Altman is willing to contribute without abusing multiple accounts. If he will abuse further, then block all his accounts. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:39, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

  •   Not done Regarding the files permissions : a significant number of permissions already exist, some have been added, and other are pending. If files are still lacking of permission then I suggest preferably to ask the user who is ready to trying to provide them. Regarding the behaviour, the reaction seems more like a frustration reaction from someone who cares about the destiny of the valuable content that he collected, than someone who is malicious or harmful to the project, and the last contributions of the user are fine. There is absolutely no other administrative actions to take than the legitimate one, which is to ask to release the permissions for files that are missing.

Jeff: This is the appropriate forum for requesting blocks. COM:RFCU is for requesting investigations requiring CheckUser privileges. Blocking obvious sockpuppets does not require CheckUser privileges. When I do go there, I get told I need to go elsewhere for the admin action that should logically follow the (usually obvious) outcome of the request, because checkusers (who are also admins) think that their job is just to provide the data. Do you understand that you're enabling the bad guys by making those of us deal with more red tape than it took to visit Soviet occupied countries? So no thanks, but I'm not jumping through your hoops. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:21, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

What ??? - Groupir ! (talk) 17:54, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
I don‘t think the intent was fraudulent, but there are a couple of misunderstandings. As I read the discussion, Groupir mistook Jeff’s conditional assent (premised on the hypothetical decision of an admin) for a reversal of position. @Groupir !: while I don’t know if we have a specific policy, it’s considered bad form to alter others’ postings, especially so when the meaning is changed—people will be inclined to think the worst. If you think a user’s statements are contradictory, ask for clarification (there or on the user‘s talk page) or that one of them be struck. If something is actually breaking the page, or obviously misplaced, such that you feel compelled to fix it, always make note of what you’ve done (in small print or italics) so that previous remarks aren’t taken out of context.

copyright permission, changes to copyright listing

Hello,

I received some messages from Patrick Rogel about photos of my band that I uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. I’m a newbie to this, and appreciate your direction and help.

I do have permission to use these photos as I wish from the photographer. How can I substantiate that to you?

Also, can you direct me to how to include the original photographer’s name in listing for copyright? I did not do that initially, and mistakenly thought that would be ok since I have permission to use those images as I wish.

Thank you very much,

You are just deleting the Grace Vanderwwal files I upload, I didn't know the freaking license was wrong if you check on flickr they are licensed under that license

That was the reason i thought those files could be used, in any time I meant to upload copyrighted file I have no idea that they were licensed like that. And if that is the case why haven't you delete this one's too? They are files from the same user on Flickr...

So...?

And with the El Santo file, I thought we could of use that file since it was published in 1961 at the United States without any copyright notice.

Copyvio spree by User:Ven0m2014’s socks

Hard blocks for all these IPs (and some ranges) used by the puppeteer.

Yet another sock uploaded File:Naomi Watts L54.jpg (hist • logs • abuse log) as recently as five hours ago. Stewards mostly ignore my cries for help (except for global blocking 103.13.228.0/23 which was granted). Let’s take defence of the site in our hands. Also check-users (and possibly stewards, if present), don’t forget about Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ven0m2014 please. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:47, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Am I ignored on Commons too? OK, eat yet another sock then. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:11, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
No, it is just out of these IPs only 185.216.34.172 is clearly a sock and has not been active here since 23 April, so that I am not sure a block would help anything. Others have zero contributions (including deleted). How do you know they are socks?--Ymblanter (talk) 12:12, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Copyvio sock farm

They've been uploading copyvios here, only one of which is left over (languishing at DR) but an IP sock (I've blocked on en.wiki) -- 223.228.139.206 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RBL • abusefilter • tools • guc • stalktoy • block user • block log) removed the DR note as closed and then added the picture on en.wiki. There's also another sock on en.wiki Shogun2001 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  but I don't see any evidence for its presence here. I hope someone can handle these are it's an advertorial ring with no concern for copyrights. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 14:08, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Decrease protection for User:Glay Liou, User:GlayLiou0308, and User:Rhgrhthrhryhry

Can’t place {{sockpuppet|Nipponese Dog Calvero}} because of a whimsical sysops-only protection on

Bring to a reasonable level, please. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:28, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

  Done. I tagged them, but due to vandalism (look userpages history) admin-level protection is needed here. Taivo (talk) 10:04, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
First, we see vandalism only in one page among the three. Second, what’s wrong in user: pages of socks serving as honeypots for the sockmaster? Let the master vandalize these—at expense of accounts and/or IPs—rather than content pages or legitimate users’ spaces. Such pages (or, at least, the category containing them) should be watched, not protected. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:10, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
I agree with this rationale. Let's unprotect them. Guanaco (talk) 10:28, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
All three userpages were repeatedly vandalized, but if somebody wants to watch them, then of course I agree with unprotecting. Taivo (talk) 10:37, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
I'll watch them and I encourage any admins reading this to do the same. Unprotecting them now. Guanaco (talk) 10:40, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

When we raise these requests, can we quote the relevant policy please, just to encourage best practice? In COM:P the relevant bit is at the beginning "... the protection is usually temporary. Some exceptions include heavily used templates and archived user right request pages." It is reasonable to interpret this so that long term protection of user talk pages should be limited to a few months at most, unless there is an equivalent pattern of long term vandalism. Without occasionally removing an "indef" sysop only protection, there can be no evidence that a pattern of vandalism (or harassment) has continued.

Nothing in current policy justifies leaving a user talk page protected as sysop-only forever. If there are realistic scenarios that need protection to apply this way, there should be a proposal to change policy. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 11:23, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

… and now we see yet another sysop—Rodhullandemu this time—using the privilege to further protection policy of an own design. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:13, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

NO, NO, NO, NO!!!! I saw a pattern of vandalism emerging and protected. That's what I'm here for, isn't it??? Please stop interfering groundlessly. 18:21, 18 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodhullandemu (talk • contribs)
Is it a joke? Indefinite sysops-only as a response to edit warring by LTAs’ puppets in some wretched hole user: page? Again, “the protection is usually temporary”. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:33, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Deadly serious- this comes from long experience. Some bunch of nitwits is prepared to interrupt the work of serious editors by playing silly games, and sorry, I don't tolerate that for one second. Stamp it out, with extreme prejudice. If that means indefinite (which does not mean "permanent") sysop-only protection, that's appropriate for what you describe as a "wretched user page"- and I'm wondering why actually if that's your description, why are you wasting so much time on it? Rodhullandemu (talk) 18:52, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
@Rodhullandemu: can you propose a solution—acceptable for the corporation—barring long-time abusers from Commons? I’m sure you cannot. If you like to see less “nitwits prepared to interrupt the work of serious editors by playing silly games”, then avoid their shitty pages and leave the brunt of fighting to people having better skills, greater tolerance, and less inclined to arguments like “you are wasting time on it”. Otherwise read the discussion and, importantly, follow the Commons’ policy anyway. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:12, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
It's "fewer" nitwits, not "less". Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:14, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
These are userpages of blocked users, in theory nobody will edit them but vandals or sysops, so indefinite sysops-only is adequate. We can also transform that as a general policy as in other wikis. --Ruthven (msg) 17:22, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
@Ruthven: en.Wikipedia protects only high-profile user pages, such as master accounts of notable puppeteers or some puppets renown for longevity. Look at this category – how many protected user: pages do you see there? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
@Incnis Mrsi: Well, it.wiki protects all infinite blocked user pages. --Ruthven (msg) 19:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Perhaps sysop is not a big deal in it.Wikipedia and consequently the site affords numerous sysops-only protected pages. This is certainly not the case for Wikimedia Commons, and for solid reasons (including broad possibilities for heavy cross-wiki damage, but not limited to it). Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:25, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Third sysop joined this DoS attack on the protection policy; an off-wiki query about this case was ignored. I begin to doubt that the Commons’ establishment takes these dirty writings seriously at all. What can some policy or guideline communicate which is not known to an admin with fourteen-or-something years of experience? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:50, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm closing this. What I'm beginning to smell here is a dead duck. It's perfectly within policy, and custom and practice to permanently admin-only protect user pages on blocked vandals, particularly when sock puppetry or meat farming is happening. It doesn't stop anyone coming here to ask for specific edits should they be required. Let's move on, please, preferably in a forward direction. Rodhullandemu (talk) 15:22, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

The discussion above 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.

Unsubstituted indefinite-block notices

Since the beginning of a month is a good time to check for indefinite blocks that are incorrectly shown in the wrong date category because their templates were transcluded instead of being substituted, hence always showing the current month, I took the opportunity to fix a few. However, there are still some fully protected pages I couldn’t do anything about:

Could somebody please reduce the protection on these pages so they can be fixed or, if that‘s not considered appropriate, edit through it to subst the templates and correct the month cats? Thanks.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 23:56, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much, and sorry for causing unnecessary extra work by using the "Nominate for deletion" button instead of adding a speedy deletion template. The most recent edits show the same... weird... behavior as this user appears to be displaying in all other projects. They got blocked on the Czech Wikipedia, had their edits deleted* on the German Wikipedia, used the Flow Feedback tool for the new search bar on MediaWiki.org in an annoying way and created seemingly useless pages on Commons. Apart from the Czech Wikipedia, none of their actions appear to be severe and frequent enough to evoke local blocks. The behavior is also not unambiguously destructive, avoiding a global lock as well. I'd say their annoyances wouldn't be missed by anyone, but that's not a valid blocking reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Landon Pigg copyvio image sockpuppetry

There appears to be some kind of sockpuppetry involved on users trying to update Landon Pigg's image on his enwiki article. These users are trying to add, specifically, this image from Facebook. Ascentmm added it first, then it was copyvio tagged by Secondarywaltz and removed. He reuploaded it, and was removed again, pointing to the same source. Then, almost a month later, a brand new user, Coriannakox, came out of nowhere and reuploaded the image claiming it's his own work, even though it had appeared on multiple websites without any elaboration of who actually took the photo. He had uploaded this 3 times, with varying EXIF tags and their checksums, which makes me wonder if they're intentionally forged to make it look like Coriannakox "took" them. This violates #3 and #6, assuming that Commons's policy on sockpuppets is the same as the English Wikipedia ones; using multiple accounts to circumvent policies and an undisclosed multiple accounts uploading the same image and adding it there to Pigg's article. theinstantmatrix (talk) 11:11, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

FreshCorp619 sockpuppetry

FreshCorp619 uploading images here and adding them as IP in enwiki, where he's blocked: upload, diff; upload, diff. Three years ago, Magog the Ogre already blocked some of his other socks. You can see that all these accounts are confirmed socks of FreshCorp619 in enwiki. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 15:51, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

FreshCorp619 was warned in 2015 about the sockpuppetry issue. Transfer Point was created in 2014, before the warning, and has never edited the Commons. Unless you are aware of another account that has been active after January 2015, recently, FreshCorp619 does not appear to be engaging in sockpuppetry on the Commons. IP block evasion on en.wiki would need to be handled there. Эlcobbola talk 16:05, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
I do see Supreme Dragon and Wrestlingring are confirmed socks on en.wiki, and have edited the Commons more recently (although both would be technically stale). However, neither account appears to have uploaded copyright violations, which was the disruption at issue in 2015. As "alternative accounts are not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of the policies" (CheckUser policy), there's no action to be taken here unless these accounts begin disruptive editing on the Commons. Эlcobbola talk 16:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: Look at his contributions. Most of his uploads are reverted, and he's currently edit-warring again. This is a long term abuser, creating accounts for years, come on. His main account here wasn't blocked just because there was no proof back then (see link in the opening post). --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 16:02, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
Where is he edit warring on the Commons? Where is the disruption on the Commons? Accounts and diffs, please; I'm more than happy to run checks and block if there's an issue on the Commons. Эlcobbola talk 16:07, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: Edit-warring: link. And more importantly, is user allowed to edit when all his known accounts were indefinitely blocked on Commons? --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 16:32, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
One revert after an initial change is not (yet) edit-warring. As I said, "alternative accounts are not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of the policies" (CheckUser policy). SPVII DrFresh26 had uploaded copyright violations (something about which FreshCorp619 had been warned), so was indeed an alternative account being used in violation of our policies and blocked accordingly. Sockpuppetry is, by definition, abusive use of multiple accounts. As long as an alternative account is not editing disruptively, there is no violation, even though that practice is discouraged. This is why, for example, Supreme Dragon and Wrestlingring are not blocked ("all his known accounts were indefinitely blocked on Commons" is untrue). Yet again: where is the disruption on the Commons? Эlcobbola talk 16:46, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: All of his accounts known at the time were blocked. SPVII DrFresh26 was blocked for copyright violations, and the rest were blocked for abusing multiple accounts. NovaFlyer7000 didn't even had an edit. Supreme Dragon and Wrestlingring were not blocked because they appeared years later and didn't catch anyone's eye. And FreshCorp619 had copyright violations warning after the block. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 17:29, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
I've quoted you the CheckUser policy several times; I note you do not explain how the NovaFlyer7000 block was in line with that policy, so this appears premised on OTHERSTUFF rather than policy (and besides NovaFlyer7000 did edit, upload copyvios). I've also asked you a question several times (where is the disruption on the Commons?), but you've again not provided an answer. I think we're done here. Эlcobbola talk 18:15, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
@Elcobbola: "where is the disruption on the Commons?" In my last post, I gave a link showing he violated copyright again after the block. And my main point is this: a user who was indefinitely blocked cannot avoid it by simply switching accounts. --Triggerhippie4 (talk) 18:23, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
FreshCorp619 has never been blocked. We are talking about sockpuppetry--the disruptive use of alternative accounts. FreshCorp619 is the main account and has not had an upload deleted since 2015. Show me the disruption caused by an alternative account that is not currently blocked. Blocks are preventative, not punitive; what disruption would blocking FreshCorp619 prevent on the Commons?

User:Davey2010

I very nearly pulled the trigger myself, with the block notice "1 week|continued premature and poor closure of AN discussions after being specifically asked not to; a request which you explicitly noted"... however, while I don't think that being the one that warned him in the past involves me in a way that would make a block inappropriate, I do think that to avoid even the suspicion of impropriety, it would be good if I give other admins the chance to tell me that I'm overreacting. I would note that while what happens on other wikis should not directly influence this decision, this user has been blocked previously on enwiki for poor judgment in performing non-admin closures (specifically, doing them early after being warned not to). Undoing the damage that Davey causes with his flippant closures is often not possible, and even when it is, is always difficult and time consuming.

The general incivility he displays when criticized is also an exacerbating factor: it is damaging to the collegial atmosphere here, as are the ridiculous excuses and "notpologies" that are forthcoming when Davey expects sanctions. Storkk (talk) 10:10, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

@T Cells: Davey really should have understood that when you are told to stop keying a car, that should not be a que to start breaking off the side view mirrors. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:40, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
How the topic of this noticeboard can solve the question? By the way is Storkk aware of the “user problems” noticeboard? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:40, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
Yes. I was "Show preview"ing the block template and had the block itself ready to go, but thought I would have a few other admins look at it. That is, in fact, precisely what this board is for. See COM:BP: "Controversial blocks may be discussed at the blocks and protections noticeboard, preferably before they are applied if at all possible". I'll stipulate, though, that the block might not have been controversial - in which case I should just have applied it, rather than risk extra drama by bringing it up for discussion. Storkk (talk) 14:10, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
  • The AFD issues over at EN weren't due to poor judgement - All AFDs over there are supposed to be closed in 7 days and I was closing them you might as well say a few hours early, These days I close ANI threads over there which is watched by thousands of people and at present no one has ever had an issue with those closures so I would say my judgement there is pretty good,
I don't see any issue with my closure in any way, shape or form, I don't make excuses at all I stated on your talkpage you were more than welcome to block me something which you refused,
You will note T Cells has closed the thread even tho they're not an admin so what's the difference between them closing it and myself ?, It's also worth nothing no admin other than yourself reverted my close which would indicate like my other closures here no one apart from yourself has an issue. –Davey2010Talk 12:43, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
I genuinely don't see what the issue is with closing threads .... Admins have a lot to do as it is so surely closing threads is more helpful in that admins can divert their attention to more needed areas, But if Storkk would rather make life hard work for admins then I shall no longer help with closing and as such will leave it up to the admins, Sad state of affairs really. –Davey2010Talk 13:21, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
I don't think this is about non-admin closure rather Storkk was under the impression that you are not allowed to close ANI thread at this time following their warning in the last thread about you. T Cells (talk) 13:32, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
I do not dispute that you genuinely don't see what the issue is with your closures. Nor did I raise this here to discuss the closures themselves... this is COM:AN/B, and I raised this to discuss with other admins whether they agree with my inclination to block, given that you "fuck off noted" the prior request to stop closing AN discussions (which, despite your ridiculous protestations to the contrary, was unlikely to be an autofill error, given your subsequent reaction on my talk page when I pointed you in the direction of how to clean your autofill... indeed, you have a marked tendency to be egregiously uncivil in your edit summaries). And no, the AFD issues were precisely as I said: about your judgment in closing AFDs - that the decisions were called clueful is true, however your persistent disregard of closure norms and "over-the-top rudeness and snark" were explicitly called out as bullet points 1 and 2. And in any case, I introduced our sister project's events not as a direct basis for a block here, but as evidence of a general pattern of poor judgment and abrasive behavior... this isn't an isolated incident. Storkk (talk) 14:10, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
Sorry I disagree those issues over there was not in any way poor judgement, Many many editors and admins over there had actually agreed with the majority of my closures, The only poor judgement I did make was by promising not to close an AFD before 7 hours .... and then closing an AFD before 7 hours (which in turn led to a block which in turn was marked as time served) - I've not closed any since then, As I said my closures on the AN boards (over there) are all fine which would indicate my judgement is rather good - That being said I'm not perfect and I do make mistakes at times.
I agree I can be snarky at times but when you're dragged here over the most silliest of reasons is it any wonder ? .... –Davey2010Talk 14:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
My issues of late have all centered around ironically ANU (the reverting and now closures) ... So as such from this point forward I shan't (like I said before) revert any reports on any COM boards and I shan't close any threads on any COM boards, I'm also making the decision not to revert any sort of vandalism or trolling on these boards, Ofcourse I'll comment but as I said I shant revert or close - Prior to my recent helpful actions here my name's never really popped up here which would indicate it's only these 2 week actions that have been "problematic", So yeah shant revert and shant close, Hope this puts an end to all of these threads. –Davey2010Talk 15:34, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks for providing a deep and meaningful comment. –Davey2010Talk 17:04, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
"Your creation of these threads are beyond pathetic", "so excuse the language but why the fuck are you here on another admins talkpage complaining over it ?", "Why have a civilised conversation when you can just create dramah?", clearly indicates an editor who wants to have a civilised conversation.
@Storkk: you might be surprised to hear that if all we are discussing is the closure of AN threads, I maybe don't support blocking Davey because blocks (afaik) are supposed to be preventive and not punitive. I do however support an interaction ban between Davey and all users (not admins) on administrator noticeboards. If he decides to violate or circumvent that interaction ban, a block would be appropiate. This is however not fully taking into account the incivility and damage to the collegial atmosphere. Those things, as they could also continue outside of administrator noticeboards, may be valid grounds for a block. So far I'm not seeing any substantial improvement in this field. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 16:40, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
It's rather sad that every time my name is bought up here you feel the need to comment!, I stand by every word of that statement - You had an option to come to my talkpage and discuss it with me but instead you chose to run to another admin and create pointless dramah, Had you said "Dave, I disagree with your closure, Could you kindly reopen it", You not only would have got a nice reply but you also would have got your desired wish,
My IBAN proposal was to stop this and I thought that would've been obvious!,
Your interaction ban proposal is utterly absurd and should be ignored entirely. –Davey2010Talk 17:03, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
Again with the "dramah". That doesn't help your case one bit. You invited admins to come to your talk page, so why are you surprised I didn't waste your time? The issue was not just the flawed closure. "Jcb's native language is Dutch so as such his English isn't going to be spot on but I can certainly say that comment was meant in good faith and not meant in a malicious way." Are you Jcb? Is your native language Dutch? Nee? Laat dergelijke statements dan over aan mensen die minimaal één van die vragen met "ja" kunnen beantwoorden.
You further told Chaddy he "seems to be ignoring everyone" (linked to en:WP:IDONTHEARTHAT) and "Best course of action would be for this to be closed with Chaddy reminded that making these sorts of threads again will result in a block.". Such block threats are rarely appropiate, the only exception being if a block threat is believed to actually reduce the chance of recidivism. None of your comments helped to deescalate the situation, actually you pushed Chaddy over the edge and into retirement. And yet you "maintain your actions have been fine here".
Merely reopening the thread would, after what you did, have made no difference. If you steal a car and burn it to the ground, you can't just return a pile of smoking ashes to the rightful owner and say it's all okay now. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 18:37, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
  • And can I point out I stated 3 hours ago "from this point forward I shan't (like I said before) revert any reports on any COM boards and I shan't close any threads on any COM boards, I'm also making the decision not to revert any sort of vandalism or trolling on these boards,",
Had I known the closure would've caused issues I obviously wouldn't of closed it but as I said from this point onwards reverting and closing are a thing of the past, I'll refrain from commenting too as I feel I'm only digging myself a further grave, Thanks all. –Davey2010Talk 17:21, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
I cannot believe I'm asking this but to save another thread in a few weeks - Storkk, Steinsplitter and all other admins - Are my actions here okay ?, I've been doing this for over a year without any issue (and bear in mind hundreds of active admins monitor this page), I will just add that my actions are in reality no different to an archive bot but regardless to save another thread I would rather ask whilst we're here, Many thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
For the purposes of imposing a block, I will construe your restriction narrowly--and indeed, only impose one if your closure is yet again problematic in my view. I suggest, however, that you construe it broadly. Toeing the very edge of the line will end poorly. Storkk (talk) 07:36, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi Storkk, This isn't about closures - This is about archiving closed requests, I have no desire to close threads but as no one tends to archive these requests I tend to help with this on a daily basis (I don't mind and as I said no one has ever had an issue). –Davey2010Talk 12:20, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Well I take it that as no one has replied above my archiving actions are absolutely fine and are not in any way, shape or form related to closures or reverting .... so I shall carry on helping with that. –Davey2010Talk 16:03, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
"Toeing the very edge of the line will end poorly." You may find rereading Wikipedia:Don't poke the bear useful at this point. --Fæ (talk) 16:07, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
I'm not poking, I was simply asking to avoid giving someone an excuse to bring me here for a third round!, My actions are not related to thread closures nor reverts and I don't believe I'm "Toeing the very edge" (It's worth noting Storkk was talking about closures "(only impose one if your closure is yet again problematic in my view)" (I was asking about LR request archiving which isn't problematic), There's been no objections to my archiving since I started and there's been no objections now but as I said to avoid a third round I thought it would be sensible to ask for clarification. –Davey2010Talk 16:17, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

new sockpuppets of Retaux, MaverickSalta, Rolando Yñigo-Genio, Rolandodeynigo…

Hello, I think we have new socks to be added to the long serie of account created by the blocked user Rolando Yñigo Genio, including :

These new suspected socks are :

  • ElSeñorDeLaNoche
  • ElHeraldoMayor
  • CondeDeBuenosAires

The new accounts keep, as the previous did, uploading fictionnal coat of arms related to Rolando Ynigo Genio and his invented familial arms. The only contribution of ElHeraldoMayor was to reupload his previously deleted arms. The second upload of ElSeñorDeLaNoche was another svg version of this invented arms. His other edits were related with the other inigo families. As for the "condedebuenosaires", he has uploaded exactly the same version of the "Coat of Arms von Braun" as rynigogenio's deviantart on the same day (aug 22, 2015). A large part of their activity is related with the files of the previous sock.

User:Yamla and User talk:Yamla

Hello. I'm an admin over on en.wiki and am being targeted here by Angelgreat, as I blocked that user. They've explicitly promised to "not stop until he is unblocked or blocked from editing his talk page". They appear to be targeting my user talk page here on commons, so I'd like to request both my user page and user talk page receive either extended confirmed protection or full protection. I'm basically not active on commons, so don't generally need these pages myself. You may also wish to block Angelgreat (talk · contribs) and the likely sockpuppet account, Speedy deletion criteria G10 (talk · contribs). Thanks. --Yamla (talk) 16:29, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: you had to document your findings instead of blaming me for the same mistake Yamla committed. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:32, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

I have retained all the "document[ation]" necessary. I am, in fact, a checkuser and abreast of our policies and not beholden to your concoctions. Yamla said "likely sockpuppet account," whereas you added an explicit (incorrect) template, unilaterally, and with bad evidence. If you don't see the irony of falsely accusing Angelgreat here, I trust others will. You've been warned on en.wiki about your inappropriate "contributions" to CU issues, so you may wish to contemplate whether checkuser is an area in which you have sufficient clue to participate appropriately. Эlcobbola talk 19:58, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Elcobbola unfortunately misses the point. Hypothesis testing is a process inherently prone to errors, such as in this specific instance. But I did’t claim that Speedy_deletion_criteria_G10 is confirmed ({{sockpuppet|sockmaster|confirmed}}) to Angelgreat. I explicitly specified which evidence supports the hypothesis chosen by me. Do you know what “hypothesis testing” means, Elcobbola? You definitely have to know if you are a check-user. Comparisons of User-Agents and IP ranges are statistical too – they are neither mechanically precise nor infallible. Whereas what Masti did was quite another thing, namely:
A reasonable person may not seriously compare these instances, let alone reply to my criticism with this absurd attack. And please, don’t drag TonyBallioni and Bbb23 into discussion having nothing to do with their present troubles. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:21, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Range block for harassment

Hi. I'm an admin on English Wikipedia. In January, I range blocked Special:Contributions/2602:30a:c0ff:a6e0::/64 for block evasion on en.wiki (see block log). Today, I got this message on my Commons talk page, which promises revenge on me and makes explicit threats.

uploader falsifies copyright data of commercial Getty Images shot

WIKIAYUDANTE7 (talk · contribs) had yesterday uploaded a glamour-shot of Isabella Castillo, File:Isabella Castillo at El Senor de los Cielos Season 6 premiere.jpg, from Getty-Images agency[15], with correct source and author entries, though wrongly claimed CC-BY license. After it had been deleted, today he re-uploaded the same image, though cropped exactly above the prominent Getty-watermark, File:Isabella Castillo ESDLC Season 6 Red Carpet.png, and with a text note "FREE OF COPYRIGHT. Victor Chavez, 2018." plus faked EXIF data, now stating "2018 Victor Chavez, free of copyright." At Gettys, the image in the uploaded size can be licensed for 335 Euros per use and is surely not "free of copyright".[16]
IMO, there is no question that the uploader intentionally falsified the copyright data of this image in order to prevent it getting deleted again. This leaves no room for AGF. I propose to indef-block this user. --Túrelio (talk) 07:05, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Some Telecom Italia S.p.A. ranges

Anon-only block for one year, please. Observed dense infestation with A3cb1 makes collateral damage very unlikely. For example, from 95.245.76.0/24 I didn’t see any single edit made seemingly by a person other than A3cb1. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:06, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm uncertain this would be of any use. If we block with account creation disabled, a large part of Italy's population would be prevented from making accounts on Commons. A3cb1 would still be able to make accounts at itwiki and elsewhere, and such a global rangeblock would definitely be harmful. The best we can do is force A3cb1 to use an account when editing. Guanaco (talk) 00:14, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Of course, A3cb1 will still be able to make accounts abroad, but the soft block on Commons will prevent expansion of said accounts to Commons, of do I misunderstand semantics of local account creation? I didn’t learn it specially, but remember to read a report about similar condition on another wiki. Impossibility to procure an account on Commons will defeat much of aim for A3cb1’s socking. And is Guanaco at all serious about “a large part of Italy's population”? /24 amounts to 28 IPs, /23 amounts to 29 IPs. Given that one landline IPv4 address usually serves no more than one household in developed countries, which part of Italy’s population can obtain these (1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2) × 28 = 7 × 28 = 1,792 addresses? Moreover, I don’t request a hard block assuming that some already registered users possibly exist in the ranges in question (which explains why do we see only A3cb1 IP edits from there). Those Internet users in Italy who are not yet registered may have such IPs either because are A3cb1’s neighbours (that makes their number quite small, a thousand at largest) or accidentally (that can be resolved waiting until the ISP will lease another IP, from another subnetwork). Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:06, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
You are correct. I tested by blocking my IP, creating an account at enwiki, then attempting to log in with the account here, both automatically and then manually. The block held and I was unable to log in. I don't know if I remembered a time when this vulnerability existed, or if I remembered incorrectly. Anyway, although the ranges are small, they are dynamically assigned and each seems to be located in a different city near Brescia. Looking at it again, I see no problem with blocking them. I'll   Support this if our checkusers have no objections based on innocent account creations. Guanaco (talk) 09:12, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

User talk:Oleg3280

Please protect my talkpage (vandalism) and this file (vandalism). Vandalism on meta. Thanks. Oleg3280 (talk) 19:11, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Talkpage: 1 week full-portection. File: 6 months full. --Túrelio (talk) 19:23, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
Túrelio, you have full-protected talk. Oleg3280's talk needed to be semi-protected, if non-admin want to write to Oleg3280. Marshmallych 19:58, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
User:Marshmallych. А смысл, если вандализм с одноразовых учёток, а не анонимный. Если что-то нарушу за неделю, меня предупредят. Изображений я не загружаю, так что маловероятно. Oleg3280 (talk) 20:02, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

User:Marshmallych. Если что-то нарушу, администраторы предупредят. Полузащита в данном случае бесполезна. Oleg3280 (talk) 20:10, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
User:Túrelio. Big thanks. Oleg3280 (talk) 20:14, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
@Marshmallych, yes, as the vandalism was performed by user-accounts, not by IPs. Therefore I choose a rather short protection-period, probably too short. --Túrelio (talk) 20:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
@Túrelio: What does full protection achieve over semi-protection? Also, @Well-Informed Optimist: could you please explain the need to revdel edits like "сиськи"? While obviously puerile vandalism that should be reverted, I'm struggling to understand how fragile one must be to find "boobs" to be "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material" as the deletion log claims... revdel is explicitly per policy to be used sparingly only. Storkk (talk) 21:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
These are not autoconfirmed accounts, so semi-protection would be effective. Full protection on a user talk page should be an absolute last resort, so I'm reducing the protection to semi. Guanaco (talk) 00:16, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
@Storkk:   OK I've unhidden. But I think "tits" (more correct version in this context) is "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material". --Well-Informed Optimist (talk) 05:16, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
@Storkk: , WRT to talkpage protection: d'accord. I acted on the outdated assumption that semi protects only against IPs. WRT to revdel of attack-edits: not d'accord, as 1) our users/contributors merit the best possible protection against malicious vandals, which practically translates into generous removal/hiding of such undesirable edits, and 2) the revdel-policy is rather unspecific and the "sparingly" rather refers to file namespace than to user namespace. --Túrelio (talk) 08:43, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
@Túrelio: No. It seems to me that there has been an increasing and disturbing trend of removing edits from the edit history. This would be less of a clearly bad revdel if it was in the user namespace as you suggest, however it was in fact in the Commons namespace. The fact that it was obviously not "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material" is demonstrated by Well-Informed Optimist being willing to correct the translation and quote a new one. Juvenile and worthy of immediate reversion, yes... but removing edits especially from the Commons namespace should be a last resort--our actions as admins should at least in principle be subject to being checked by non-admins to the greatest extent possible. Storkk (talk) 10:55, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
@Storkk: , I should have made clearer that my statement WRT revdel didn't specifically refer to the above mentioned revdel action, but to my own handling of revdel in such cases, which happens nearly exclusively in user namespace. WRT to peer control, IMO we are an enough diverse admin-population to make a sort of block-behaviour nearly impossible. Though a revdel may sometimes be a judgement call, in doubt I prefer to err in the interest of the attacked. --Túrelio (talk) 13:23, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Although I deem revdel in such cases waste of resources, it is really a “disturbing trend” that such Commoners as Storkk vocally defend freedoms of a known vandal who persistently harasses several Wikimedia users for four months. Where are defenders of transparency and freedom when our members with thousands uploads are indef-blocked and/or globally locked following dubious sockpuppetry accusations? Very few of them are around at such moments. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:10, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Arguing against the draconian overuse of revdel ≠ "vocally defend freedoms of a known vandal", but you are of course entitled to your opinion. Storkk (talk) 11:13, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Overzealous revdel is possibly unwise (I’m reluctant to side with either Well-Informed_Optimist or Storkk), but referring to the practice as to draconian implies that the outlaw’s produce is generally worth to remain in the publicly visible history. It contradicts to w:Wikipedia:Deny recognition—one of Wikipedian de facto guidelines to which I have a great respect—and IMHO can be interpreted as an apology for vandals’ right to shit into the database and have their dung kept visible via /w/index.php. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:33, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
Reacting with over-the-top histrionics when someone writes "tits" is, IMO, exactly the opposite of the spirit of DENY. Storkk (talk) 11:43, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
@Storkk: I completely agree with this your remark, but I can’t rewrite the mind of Oleg3280 and embed to it an advanced attitude to silly attacks by outlaws. He’s a guy from ru.Wikipedia whose community is bent on pettifogging about who and where did post something, or who and where was blocked (and how many times), whereas nobody generally cares about quality of actions. It is IMHO better to ingore this scrabble. Let them do it within their cultural ghetto. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:40, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

My native language is russian. Please translate. Thanks. Спасибо за защиту файла, его 5 раз предлагали к удалению, плюс вандализм моей страницы обсуждения с матюками и оскорблениями на русском. Разве этого мало для защиты. Или пусть вандалы вандалят. А обычная просьба защитить страницу обсуждения и файл конструктивного участника без единой блокировки и более чем 20000 правок в рувики вызвала такую дискуссию. Не понимаю. Oleg3280 (talk) 12:27, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
@Oleg3280: , во-первых, значительная часть дискуссии была не о защите, а о применении revdel ради пустяков. Во-вторых, дело в том, что значительная часть метапедически активных участников Викисклада считает защиту страницы обсуждения участника дурным тоном, даже защиту низкого уровня. Проблемы вследствии затруднения коммуникации вредят сильнее, чем мусор, время от времени создаваемый вандалами — но вам в руВикипедии, я понимаю, трудно это понять. Вандал гадил мне в user_talk на десятке сайтов, на Email мне приходил спам — и что мне с того, в конце концов? А где и каких у вас не хватает блокировок, по моему, тут никого не волнует — кажется, только в «русском мире» в массовом порядке занимаются ерундой вроде выколупывания записей из Special:Log/block. Для пояснения этого пункта взгляните туда: как отреагировали админы Викисклада на рассказы Sealle о моих блокировках в руВикипедии? Да и помог ли данный компромат в попытке меня поразить в правах? Тут истории с русскими блокировками пофиг всем, кроме самих админов руВикипедии. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:40, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Translation if needed:

Thanks for protecting file, it's 5 times nominated to deletion, plus vandalism of my talk page with obscene and insults in Russian. Is this not enough to protect. Or let vandal still vandalise. Default request of protecting talk page and file of constructive editor without blocks and more than 20000 edits in ruwiki caused this discussion. I do not understand.
@oleg3280, firstly, much of the discussion was not about protecting, of including revdel in vain. Secondly, the fact is that a significant part of the metapedic active participants of the Wikimedia Commons considers the defense of the participant's discussion page to be a bad form, even a low-level defense. Problems due to communication difficulties are more harmful than garbage created from time to time by vandals — but in RuWikipedia, I understand, it's hard to understand. Vandal spoiled me in user_talk on a ten sites, Email spam came to me — and what did I want, after all? And where and what you do not have enough locks, in my opinion, nobody cares — it seems, only in the "Russian world" they are massively engaged in nonsense like looking lists from Special:Log/block. For an explanation of this point, take a look there: how did the admins of the Wikimedia Commons react to Sealle's stories about my locks in Wikipedia? Yes, and whether this compromising evidence helped me in an attempt to impress me? There are stories with Russian locks do not care for everyone, except for the admins of RuWikipedia.

Note: I don’t endorse Marshmallych’s translation. It is ridden with severe mistakes like “including” for application/use and generally suggests a very poor grammar and syntax which is not the case for the Russian original. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:31, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

QRtrains, Byrd250k

Having quite a go at overwriting train images with...random crap. GMGtalk 13:24, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

  Done. Both are now blocked one week. I warned Byrd250k but then saw related overwrites from QRtrains, who was blocked by Storkk. The accounts are clearly being operated by the same person, but until now their behavior would not be considered sockpuppetry. Previously they abandoned the Byrd250k name and started using QRtrains for uploads. Guanaco (talk) 13:36, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Another possibility is that their accounts were both hijacked. Storkk (talk) 13:37, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Based on previous legitimate uploads, I think they were the same person. If one is hijacked, the other probably had the same password and/or email. Guanaco (talk) 13:51, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Well, QRtrains is already indef blocked on en.wiki by @NinjaRobotPirate: . Both accounts have en.wiki edits related to rail in Queensland.

Sock puppet and master

It seem the accounts Futbolhondureñoimgs3 (talk · contribs) Futbolhondureñoimgs2 (talk · contribs) Futbolhondureñoimgs (talk · contribs) are sock puppet and possibly related to Futbollatinoimgs (talk · contribs) who had a similar Latin language username as well as uploading the image of en:Rigoberto Rivas (file titles File:Rigoberto Rivas.jpg, see log). So where to report a SPI? Matthew hk (talk) 06:11, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

This is the correct place to report obvious sockpuppets. If checkusers are needed, COM:RFCU. I'll look into these users now. Guanaco (talk) 06:20, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
Futbolhondureñoimgs (talk · contribs) and 2 would be   Stale; there would be no checkuser data. I nominated their uploads for deletion as they look like web-rips rather than own work. Futbolhondureñoimgs3 (talk · contribs) and Futbollatinoimgs (talk · contribs) both uploaded versions of File:Rigoberto Rivas.jpg, but the two versions are different, and indeed both copyvio. Based on the small number of uploads, the time elapsed between them, their obvious username scheme, and the lack of warnings on their user talk pages, I think this isn't a case of abusive sockpuppetry, but rather someone who doesn't know our copyright policy and forgot their password.
I think at this time a block is   not necessary and checkuser should be   Declined. But thank you for the report, as it revealed some likely copyvios. Guanaco (talk) 06:42, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
