File:Albis - Planetenweg*

Same problem and same IP user (84.75.160.122, seems to be a static adress) as in this incident. Please semi-protect following files indefinitely:

to protect them from being reverted to senseless versions (compare my statements at Administrators' noticeboard as of 7. Okt. 2010, 22:07 – 23:12.

Please consider additionally to block the IP user for a while because of violating COM:AGF as well as using personal attacks against me in the concerning edit summaries and conducting edit wars. Regards, Carbenium (talk) 00:31, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, and @Carbenium, please "calm down": are those or other uploads done by you? No, they are not, and i do not think that the uploader(s) of those images will support your requests.
Before claiming here (00:31 8 October 2010) "vandalism", relax, ask yourselves not to do really the same by starting "counter-topics/attacks", and claiming edits as "personal attacks" ...
Please remember, (nearly) two days before, at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems referring to User:Carbenium on 18:35, 6 October 2010 was started by me to avoid a possibly Edit-war – i did not claim so, let's 'speak' that topic and your and my statements for itselves ...
In between, User:Carbenium claimed Commons:Requests for rights on 11:13, 7 October 2010 "... for fighting vandalism more easily, hmmm.
Dear Admins, please consider to close one (18:35 6 October) topic one (11:13 7 October) after another (00:31 8 October), and please do not 'support' (imho) "counter-attacks" on that level, i.e. by starting topics again and again referring to the same matter (sorry about my bad and maybe 'misleading' English, i'm not fluent).
And, dear Admins, let's "speak" User:Carbenium's recent edits and above mentioned requests claiming "fighting vandalism" in 'favour' of Wikimedia commons 'against' my edits as IP.
Finally, thank you for considerung that statement and best regards, 84.75.160.122 04:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I wish, you had considered my statements concerning the "other versions"...
And either are you the uploader of the images and it's a bit self-opinionated of you to read the uploader's mind – or are you user:Roland_zh, hiding behind an IP to protect you main account out of possible vandalism reports? (Just a question, no PA). Apart from that you should remember: It's a wiki, pages don't belong to anyone personal (even not to the uploader) once they are uploades but to everyone in the community.
You are claiming you were interested in deescalation, so you have to put up with some questions:
  • Why did you revert me again and misscalled me again as an "possible vandal" without waiting for the outcome of the discussion, only based on a single, not representative opinion of another user?
  • Why didn't you talk to me on my discussion board but through "user-problems" (where I possibly never had found the incrimination as i wasn't noticed about them and besides I'm pushed in a defensive position)? You seem to be familiar enough with the system to know all those possibilities.
  • And why did you behave destructively in the first and second place by reverting, attaching blame on me on the Administrator's noticeboard and keeping fighting with me instead of construtively create a gallery on your own?
Another question – of course – is: Which part of "VERY SIMILAR" and "DERIVED" is not understandable? And once again: What's wrong with treating the "other versions"-section as it is meant (I think, there are reasons, why the template-description say exactly those words) and creating ONE real galery-page instead of pasting the same 20-pictures-gallery into 20 filedescriptions?
I'm not counter-attacking, please don't twist the truth – you began reverting and calling me a names (in those summaries).
I apreciate the most of your other edits (I've taken a look on many of them) and I ask you to respect my edits in the same way – in particular as I have brought good arguments why a file description page should not be abused as a gallery (and you actually didn't give any hint, why it should be).
So, why should I "calm down"? I'm not even "up", but I also want to protect myself from being reverted in valid edits and being called a "possible vandal" in edit summaries. You studied my edit list and have seen, how many of my edits are the recent edits of the particular files, thus in conclusion nearly all of my edits were appreciated by the community. Calling me a possible vandal in at least 10 edit coments consider I thus as reputation-damaging and insulting – possible vandalism without any further comment is only a personal opinion (a very offending one, moreover), not a real reason for an edit – particularly in those like them we're talking about, you should give real reasons.
BTW: I didn't request the rollbacker right just because of you – it's a little overconfident to think so... --Carbenium (talk) 13:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Carbenium, please stop labeling valid edits you disagree with based on a very limited view of a certain template's usage as "vandalism". No, you are not fighting vandalism, you are simply edit-warring to get your way. To any admins looking to do something here: I suggest blocks, rather than protection. Rocket000 (talk) 07:53, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

MY valid edit was first and according to your statement it's up to the IP to respect it and not to call it possible vandalism. And I didn't say anything about vandalism in the first place. Instead I delivered a good reason as edit-comment. I actually don't edit-war, the IP does. I'm talking here and I wasn't the one who reverted good edits before taking the discussion to an end. I only have re-reverted one time – did you ever her about the 3R-rule according to which one can consider a row of reverts as edit war with the third revert? Please start really listening to and considering my arguments instead of dismissing them instantly, and stop defending with blind anger the poor suppressed IP. As a sysop here you should take a more neutral viewpoint. Taking excessive party for one side without having real arguments in discussions is in my opinion no good practice. For any other point see my answer to the IP above. --Carbenium (talk) 13:50, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
I said nothing in defense of the IP nor did I say anything in "blind anger", actually it was pretty void of any emotion. I would probably just have blocked you if I felt that way. Rocket000 (talk) 15:25, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
It actually did seem so to me because you mentioned the IP's edit as valid but not mine (which was earlier). But don't care anymore, I consider this case as closed. Greets, Carbenium (talk) 22:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
Addendum: Concerning this related case: Though I'm not a native english speaker I know, that there are up to 15 different meanings for a single english word; but I didn't know, that the term other versions means anything and "links to files with very similar content or derived files;" reads as dump here whatever you want (concerning the "stop imposing their extremely narrow interpretation" statement in that case). But since there now exists a real gallery, I'll soon delete the pseudo-galleries within the pictures anyway. --Carbenium (talk) 23:29, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

RE: Guillaume Seignac painting inappropriate comment

This page [[2]] has an inappropriate comment that has nothing to do with the painting or artist. Please remove comment. Thank You Sandra

There is no inappropriate comment. The section #filehistory you link is an automatically generated version history from that file upload log. --Martin H. (talk) 20:19, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
She was seeing some remnant of the vandalism yesterday evening. Apparently some template transclusion didn't get purged properly, or she saw a cached version of the page. I purged the page manually now. Lupo 20:29, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
I not see any related changes + is it even possible to vandalize #filehistory sections? However, I think with your purge the problem is resolved anyway, if there was a problem. --Martin H. (talk) 23:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Just a note, this user has commented on his uploading actions at Commons:Village_pump/zh, claiming not to know why it is seen as "disruptive". A Chinese admin has responded accordingly, saying that the new icons take up space and causes the server to slow down. NoNews! 11:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

This user still continues to upload BSicons just as he likes, not caring about correct categories, descriptions (he seems to be unable to communicate in english) and all regulations conc. those files. Furthermore he insults users in Chinese language on their user talk pages. I'm not willing nor do I have the time to clean up after him, thus I blocked him for two weeks. axpdeHello! 19:33, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. Did you notice he also changed the design of a couple of xxxGRENZE icons ? - Erik Baas (talk) 22:35, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I reverted all icons in use and prepared the light railway GRENZE icons to match the heavy rail GRENZE icons. I already moved utGRENZE to uetGRENZE (with redirect) and merged ueGRENZE into uexGRENZE to provide full history. The useage of all (now) obsolete redirects should be replaced, after that light railway international border icons may get uploaded! axpdeHello! 00:11, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
P.S.: This user tries to fill all "empty spaces" and this is appreciated, but re-uploads with just removed comments or undiscussed layout changes are counterproductive. axpdeHello! 00:14, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Please look the contributions made by this different users. The style seems to be the same of reported anons:

  1. Segunda CR - similar to anon's contribs (See this and confront). Note this strange FB link instead of file
  2. Huracandelos80s - only one contrib in august but the style seems to be similar.
  3. FOOTBALL 80S - some contribs here in september. Very similar style.
  4. CONAFA 80S - some contribs in november. Note the "caps lock"
  5. Futbolhistoria 8 - an upload in october, same style. He created the user page of BARBAREÑOS
  6. Futbolhistoria 7 - only a (correct) contrib in october. His nick is too similar to Footballhistoria 8 and the upload reguards a Costarican club.
  7. BARBAREÑOS - No contribs. His user page has been edited by Futbolhistoria 8. The text reguards the history of one of this football clubs.
  8. Futbolero2000 - 2 uploads in july. Same style of others (see for exemple the categorization).
  9. Huracandelos80s - A single upload in august. Same style, same field.
  10. Futbolhistoria 10 - Same style, caps lock, enormous text.
  11. Futbolhistoria 11 - No contribs. But seeing this noce it seems that the user created (october) the same "pseudo" file created by Seugnda CR few hours ago.
  12. Futbolhistoria 12 - Idem
  13. Futbolhistoria 13 - Idem
  14. Futbolhistoria 14 - No contribs
  15. Futbolhistoria 15 - A copyviol in november.
  16. Futbolhistoria 16 - Same style, 2 uploads...
  17. Futbolhistoria 9 - No contribs
  18. Futbolhistoria 6 - No contribs
  19. Futbolhistoria 5 - No contribs
  20. Futbolhistoria 4 - No contribs
  21. Futbolhistoria 3 - No contribs
  22. Futbolhistoria 2 - No contribs
  23. Futbolhistoria - No contribs

Other possible sockpuppets: Note the caps lock and the same usage of "Category:FUTBOL".

  1. Chivas Chlaoc JC - Please note also the not existant Template:CHIVAS CHALCO JC linked as source. Principally, this (as others) file is tagged with PD-SELF. But this file includes the logo of Chivas Guadalajara, a non-free emblem as you can see here.

Protected user page

  Resolved

A couple of admins who I have had disputes with in the past have insisted on hijacking my user page. I let some months pass hoping things would quiet down before trying to take my user page back, but they are stalking my page and won't let me make any changes to it. I retired an old account and started a new, the old was Xanderliptak and the new is my complete proper name Alexander Liptak. hey argue this is sockpuppettry, though they never supplied a diff or any proof of this and the names being so close no one would think them two different people. They basically argued better safe than sorry, and just took over my page anyways.

They cite a previous RfC about taking over my user page, but the conversation hardly went the say of blocking it. Bidgee just came along and decided to end the conversation and block me form editing it. I would have to beg and plead to change anything on my userpage, which would need their approval and require them to take the time to change anything. This is ridiculous. Either they should supply a diff where sockpuppetry is shown, or let me have my user page back. They don't let others decide what is on their user pages, then they should allow me to decide what is on mine.

The RfC conversation about blocking my user page:

  • I request an immediate block for edit warring. I will not apply it since I am involved. This user has reverted 3 different editors linking his accounts 7 times in the last couple of days [9]. One of those was mine, and I stand by the need to link alternate accounts, especially when they are both used to edit the same files. As noted above, this user appears to have other difficulties listening to other editors, and may warrant other sanctions, but my request is simply related to the need to stop edit warring. --99of9 (talk) 03:54, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  • I don't have all the context here but noting a linkage on talk (which gets archive) is insufficient. Why is this user trying to remove the linkage? I think we need a clear explanation of that, which we have not gotten yet. Absent that, the user should not be edit warring to remove it. ++Lar: t/c 04:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Why not just let him clear his user page? We got the information here already, better yet more than just a link. ZooFari 04:13, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  • This page gets archived... those coming along later won't know. Multiple accounts participating in the same area controlled by the same user need to be crosslinked, or they are in violation of the socking policy here and subject to blocking. That's not really a debatable point. There are certain very limited exceptions which need to be clearly justified. I see no such yet. ++Lar: t/c 04:15, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Ok, I see what's going on. Not really interested in it, maybe later. ZooFari 04:20, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Lar's comment brings up an interesting question: do we have a sockpuppet policy here on Commons? The closest thing I could find is the sentence "User accounts or IP addresses used to evade a block may and should also be blocked." on COM:BP, which doesn't really apply in this case. I suppose it could be considered an "unwritten policy", but one really should try to exercise a certain amount of flexibility in enforcing those. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 07:09, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  • His stated reasons for removing the link are that he prefers to leave his user page blank, and that he doesn't want users from Wikipedia to be able to "follow" him. --99of9 (talk) 05:51, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  • If they feel that editors are abusively "stalking" them, they have means to raise the issue but it doesn't mean you can create another account and hide. Bidgee (talk) 06:13, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
  •   Done Thanks Bidgee. --99of9 (talk) 06:04, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

The complaining editor and blocking editor clearly agree, however I and the two other commenting editors did not. One seemingly felt this was a waste of time and the other felt that there wasn't any proof of sockpuppetry so there was nothing to be done. All I want is my user page back.

Lar's comment of 04:15, 25 October 2010 is clear, and its substance unchallenged, in my reading of the discussion. Walter Siegmund (talk) 01:55, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
I concur. The OP is under the mistaken impression that he "owns" his user page. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:25, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
As the OP did not notify Bidgee of this discussion, I have done so, in the same thread in which the OP clearly indicates the "I didn't hear that" behavior that has caused him so much trouble here and at wikipedia.[10] He continues to claim ownership of his user page, despite being told many times that he doesn't. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:32, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

The basic principle is that if one person uses two accounts to edit the same set of pages with both, then those accounts are by that fact and from that time forward inextricably intertwined -- and the person owes the rest of us an explicit acknowledgement of their common identity. If you want keep two Commons accounts separate, then the only way is to edit different pages with each account. By the way, none of this has much to do with "vandalism"... AnonMoos (talk) 04:51, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Not only that, Xanderliptak's account has a number of uploads and if someone lists one or more for deletion then they are not to know that it is in fact Alexander Liptak. Both accounts have been used (none of them are retired [which mean no longer used]) and the fact is they don't own any page (user or talk page), as stated by Baseball Bugs. Bidgee (talk) 05:22, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
I propose indefinite protection of both user pages. If Alexander Liptak agrees not to delete the cross-links, he could request unprotection. Walter Siegmund (talk) 06:00, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
I like the idea of indefinitely locking the user pages and of indefinitely blocking the supposedly "retired" account. That should take of the edit-warring and then he can focus on the work. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 07:17, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

What a big freaking mess. I don't know what the hell people were doing, but this is what I did: User:Xanderliptak and User talk:Xanderliptak now contain {{Retired}}, I consider it a disruptive edit if someone changes this with a link to User:Alexander Liptak. The User:Xanderliptak account is blocked to prevent anymore edits. I blanked User:Alexander Liptak, I consider it a disruptive edit if someone changes this with a link to User:Xanderliptak. I unblocked the user. I don't know what kind of enwp issues were brought over here, but it just stopped. Multichill (talk) 17:52, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

The issues were primarily at commons, and they bled over into wikipedia. The issues all had to do with Xander wanting to own his images and his user pages. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:28, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Unfortunately, Liptak significantly antagonized a number of people here on Commons by his behavior on Commons in the autumn, without reference to en.wikipedia (I've never had any interaction with him on en.wikipedia at all, for example) -- and the fact that his very first action on returning from a two-month vacation was to remove the necessary cross-references between his two accounts (see my message of "04:51, 7 January 2011" above) very strongly suggested that he intended to resume his problematic behavior exactly where he left off before -- and the whining ranting and wildly accusatory tirades he left directly above (and on my user talk page) did not gain him any additional sympathy. I don't care very much whether he's blocked or unblocked (and never have cared all that much), but he will have to make major changes in his behavior, or he will very quickly involve himself in controversies just like his past controversies here... AnonMoos (talk) 18:34, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
I'm expecting Xander's next complaint to be about his "retired" page having been indef protected and his "retired" account having been indef blocked. But we'll see. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:37, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Unilateral removal of categories

User:Fry1989 is trying to impose his point of view, removing categories and inserting the "superseded tag" in the File:Flag President of Brazil.svg.

Firstly, based on some pictures, he tried to upload a new version, without agreeing with other users (also in File:Coat of arms of Brazil.svg). Administrator Zscout has disabled this function, and after abandoned the discussion, the user started to alter the description of the file.

User Fry has a long historic of disruptive behaviour. He is also changing the file in some articles at WP:EN; again, trying to impose his point of view.

No matter who's right, it cannot be allowed the removal of categories and the misuse of a tag just to validate another file. Tonyjeff (talk) 01:51, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Trying to avoid a confrontation

Someone, possibly Tina Majkowski herself (User:Portlandia, with no other edits, plus an IP address that might or might not be the same person), has been messing with (adding {{Speedy}}, changing or removing name) the descriptions of 3 photos of Majkowski and two others that she appears in File:Pop Conference 2010 - Bent panel 01.jpg‎, File:Pop Conference 2010 - Bent panel 02.jpg‎, File:Tina Majkowski 01.jpg‎, File:Tina Majkowski 02.jpg‎, File:Tina Majkowski 03.jpg‎. I have now reverted twice, and added {{Personality rights}} which I would hope would meet any legitimate concern the subject of the photo might have. I am the person who took these photos (at the Pop Conference), but I would like to duck out of monitoring this situation or trying to be involved on an administrative basis. It's a bit hard to be exactly sure of the user or users' intention (the changes were made without comment). I don't really care whether the photos are kept or not, but someone needs to get this person into a discussion to at least clarify intent and I don't think it should be me. If some admin establishes that this account is really the subject of the photos and that it would be appropriate to remove the photos as a courtesy, fine, it's not like this is an encyclopedically important person, simply someone who presented at an important conference. I'm mostly annoyed that this person seems to be trying to accomplish the equivalent of a courtesy deletion by underhanded means like adding an unjustified tag or making vandalistic edits, and I don't think my further active involvement in the situation would be constructive. - Jmabel ! talk 06:02, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Zou graag met iemand contact hebben om over voorvallen te praten betreffende vandalisme bestrijding ivm computersystemen. Al enige tijd gebruiken ze al mijn gegevens op verschillende manieren en weet niet wat voor impact dit zal hebben wanneer dit op grotere schaal toegepast wordt. Ben met personen in contact geweest die niet half beseffen wat ze inorde kunnen maken integendeel door wat er stuk gemaakt wordt.

Regelmatig doe ik opzoekwerken en tot mijn grote verbazing klopt er veel van wat ik al jaren duidelijk probeer te maken aan personen en instanties echter bij nazicht op verschillende bronnen blijkt dit wel duidelijk bewezen te worden. Voel me echt dom omdat pas jaren nadien dit door meerdere bewezen wordt en ik op niets heb kunnen rekenen om mijn persoonlijke toestand in orde te brengen.

  1. The user recreated a still deleted page that is a copy of en:Comparison of European traffic signs, adding a not existant French interlink (fr:Compertgls ui erta passege) deleted 3 times and created by him/her (note: compertgls ui erta passege is meaningless). Also Road signs in Japan (now better organized as a Commons gallery per COM:SCOPE) was originally a copy of en:Road signs in Japan.
  2. The user created a page, Road signs in Badziki, with an unclear meaning. Searching on Google, Badziki seems to be a sort of Polish word related to the collection of pin buttons. It makes little sense as another (now deleted) gallery (All-way yield sign). For details about "Badziki", see also the Google links i've added on the talk page.
  3. HW's edit on fr:Panneau STOP en France was reverted as vandalism and also on :fr:Modèle:Signaux de priorité français (the reason given by the rollbacker is, translated in English: This is a template reguarding traffic signs used in France, not in Quebec). Also on :pl:Porównanie europejskich znaków drogowych the user removed French stop sign adding the one used in Quebec (File:Arret Quebec.svg is a clear name, and the Category:Stop signs in Canada has lot of this pics). Please note: As said, European traffic signs was copied/pasted from en:Comparison of European traffic signs. It has only a particular difference: The picture of French STOP sign is not the French one, but the Quebecan one.

Some contribs make sense, some other seems to be a joke, using meaningless words or wrong road signs. Possibly a crosswiki vandal. Some admins on fr.wiki and pl.wiki may be noticed and his "normal" contribs should be controlled. --Dэя-Бøяg 21:02, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

It seems that HorseWitch could be a sockpuppet of Jermboy27, the style is the same. So he could be a crosswiki-vandal with sp, by now detected by me on French WP and Polish WP.

User Jameslwoodward (talk to me) and I have had a disagreement over policy implementation, and as a result of a decision against his judgement [[27]], he is retorting with deleting a legitimate image that I uploaded in an abusive and arbitrary manner without due process and least the courtesy of notyfying me as the author of such act according to policy [[28]].

@Yann, about what you said in the related thread on your talkpage: yes, maybe that we sometimes delete files which are borderline and eventually wouldn't need deletion. However, as you are well aware, we aren't copyright lawyers and we don't have access to legal experts for our daily work-load. Though WMF's legal counsel is quite good-willing, we can't involve him in routine matters and in sophisticated copyright issues even he might not be an expert. Actually, I've become rather pessimistic about the WMF's way to run Commons (legally) by completely relying on unpaid non-legally educated volunteers. Anyway, as this is the Commons we are living in, we have to rely on our own acquired experience plus what's written in our policies and in doubt have to follow COM:PRP. --Túrelio (talk) 21:03, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Tomascastelazo, I have immense respect for your contributions here at Commons but with your vendetta against Jameslwoodward you've gone too far. You've described Jameslwoodward as unqualified before and now you do not even hesitate to characterize his work as vandalism. You are complaining that you were not notified but you did neither contact Jameslwoodward nor did you attempt to follow any of the regular procedures to get an image undeleted. This leaves the impression that this vendetta against one particular admin is of greater importance than the factual issue behind this conflict. While the image you are referring to was apparently deleted by accident (it does not appear to be a case of COM:DW as the others in the series but I wonder how it fits into COM:SCOPE), I agree with the previous deletions of the balloon pictures. If you would be really interested in saving these images for Commons, you should have tried instead what we did before for File:BallonKathedrale01 edit.jpg where we actually got the permission by the copyright holders (I haven't photographed that but I was involved in the process to get the permission). If you need help in such procedures, just ask me. --AFBorchert (talk) 17:36, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

But for these photos, permission by the balloon makers would probably not be sufficient. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 18:22, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
(ec) Yes, I know, but there exists a well known copyright holder who can be asked. At times it is simply amazing what you can get by simply asking (contact address is here). The point is that Wikipedia (not necessarily the WMF or Wikimedia Commons) is now widely known which makes it easier. I cannot guarantee that this is successful but we do not know it unless we try it. --AFBorchert (talk) 20:19, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

AFBorchert, I appreciate your comments, and without expressing my points of view and the rationaled of my opinions, just visit this interesting exchange: [[29]], and Jim´s page talk as well. In short, judgement on my work and disposition has been passed a priori, with a looming sentence clearly stated by Herbythyme when he says: Maybe post on an admin board just to broaden it out but if Tomascastelazo does not behave better there may only be one outcome available sadly. It would be interesting to find out what my bad behaviour consists of and what the only one outcome is. Jim even implies that I am a vandal. He gracefully brands me however as a different class of vandal. Draw your own conclusions.

Now, the issue really is censorship, which seems to be a word that many people don´t like, myself most of all. I am not opposed to deleting images that are clear violations of intellectual property, etc., but the interpretation that some people have of the rules and the law clearly are beyond the intent of the law and common practices. Commons cannot be the international police for possible violations of copyrights or unlawful use of images, especially if they are of editorial and educational value and depictions of public events. This is an issue of free speech, censorship and common sense.

Now considering the state of affairs between Jim and myself, I find it hard to believe that it was an accidental deletion, so I followed Commons policy stated here: [[30]], I filed a notice on this board.

Respectfully, --Tomascastelazo (talk) 17:52, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Even if the deletion was not justified, I think that calling it vandalism is a bit excessive. Now that the image is restored, can we move on to some fruitful works? Yann (talk) 19:04, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
File:BallonKathedrale01 edit.jpg may be a precedent for requiring OTRS permission from copyright holders of 3D balloon artwork that are registered as vehicles. I would remind Tomascastelazo of "assume good faith" (es:Wikipedia:Presume buena fe). "Deletion by Jameslwoodward" would have been a neutral title for this section. File:Hot air balloon ballon festival with censored characters.jpg seems to me to be mildly disruptive and out of scope. We have the Commons:Undeletion requests and Commons:Deletion requests processes to deal with disputes over licenses and copyrights. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 19:31, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
I think my actions speak for themselves. However, let's make sure that we understand just what I did and why.
Last year, User:Tomascastelazo, uploaded File:Darth_vader_hot_air_balloon.jpg which is a beautiful, fun, image of a hot air balloon in the shape of Darth Vader's head which may or may not itself be licensed by Lucasfilms, but in any case the image is clearly a derivative work. User:Trycatch nominated it for deletion and after considerable discussion, I deleted it at the end of the DR. User:Tomascastelazo was the only person in favor of keeping it, arguing that because it was in a public place, it should be OK to photograph it for Commons, and if Lucasfilms wanted to sue it wasn't our problem, but the problem of anyone who used the photograph.
Subsequently, User:Tomascastelazo created and uploaded File:Hot air balloon sans darth vader.jpg and nominated it for Featured Picture. It shows the original image with the Darth Vader blanked out and the word "Censored" over it. It was nominated for deletion by User:79.237.177.28. After the usual seven days, I deleted it. Again, the only comment in favor of keeping it came from User:Tomascastelazo.
After that deletion, User:Tomascastelazo created and uploaded File:Hot air balloon ballon festival with censored characters.jpg which is very similar, but not identical to the previous deletion. He again nominated it for FP.
Our speedy deletion policy permits speedy deletion of an image which "Has previously been deleted under Commons deletion guidelines." I took the view that a very similar image -- one with all the same issues -- falls under that rule. I think that is a correct interpretation of policy -- otherwise a disgruntled user could ignore Commons:Undeletion request and simply upload a slightly different image, as happened here. I therefore deleted the image as a speedy, with the edit comment, "‎Recreation of content deleted per community consensus: Use an undeletion request."
That is where we were when this discussion started. I am, admittedly, frustrated by the time and effort which has been wasted by this issue. As I see it, User:Tomascastelazo, who, by the way, has uploaded many truly beautiful images to Commons, simply does not understand derivative works and the rules surrounding them. He believes that we should be able to host any image of anything that is in a public place, whether permanent or temporary and whether or not we have the permission of the creator. That might be a good thing, but it doesn't match Commons rules or the law.
In pursuit of his theory, he has created, uploaded, and nominated as FP two different images calling us Censors -- I say "us" advisedly, because the deletions have all been in accordance with process. He has also written a great many words on my talk page, other talk pages, and elsewhere, all of which have required time and effort to answer.
I do not propose that we take any action against User:Tomascastelazo -- I value his contributions too highly for that, but I do think he should be firmly instructed to stop his destructive campaign against our policy. If he wants to change policy, he should do it in the appropriate place and not with Featured Picture nominations.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 19:58, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  Support, per Jim's and Andreas' statements. --Túrelio (talk) 21:03, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  Oppose per Tomas' statements. I also disagree about delitition. Object was in public place. The image that was deleted was featured picture, so the FP nomination page was appropriate in this case. Somethimes you need to ignore all rules if you think you do something right. If it wasn't on FP nomination I probably wouldn't know about this. Furthermore, the last nomination stand for itself. It's actually how copyrighted sky would look. --Lošmi (talk) 01:04, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

(ec) Tomascastelazo, to assume publically bad faith in regard to another fellow here is a dangerous weapon which can happen to be applied in reverse. This is particularly true if its only ground is a single deletion of a file. From what you refer to I see only one admin asking a fellow admin how to handle your complaint. The point is that exactly because you are not a vandal but a very respected member in our community, it really hurts to read such a complaint as this which tells that Kanguroo courts rule here and where you characterize the closing argument of the DR as logical as arguing that the earth is flat and the sky pink. That Herbythyme and others feel sadly about this escalation should not be surprising. We can certainly understand to some extent the frustration when a FP candidate gets deleted and we could have well skipped this unfortunate encounter which happened two and half weeks ago. But if this still continues, it is just disrupting. This is not a question of censorship as you claim as we, as you are well aware, are very cautionary at Commons regarding copyright per our precautionary principle. In this we differ significantly from other sites which usually do not act until they'll get a DMCA notice. And many possible usages are usually covered by the "fair use" excemption which is, as you should know, not accepted at Commons (we are bound to that as we are not allowed to install a Exemption Doctrine Policy). In summary, Jameslwoodward simply executed policy and I would have similarly closed the DR. Regards, --AFBorchert (talk) 20:19, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Calcineur anti-corrida POV-pushing

Hi.

Calcineur (talk · contribs) has been POV-pushing against corrida by adding twice the Category:Criticisms of bullfighting on 13 images that are not directly related to this topic (see his latest contributions). This goes against COM:Cat. Badzil (talk) 12:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

(This might not be the best place to report this. If not, please let me know where I could do it.) Badzil (talk) 12:14, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
It would be good if you told Calcineur of your objections before trying to involve Admins in your problem -- I do not see any discussion on your talk page or his.
As for location, this page is for vandalism, and while repeated edits can rise to that level, this isn't there. I agree that it can be difficult to figure out where to put a problem -- we have many venues for discussion, but I would suggest that you might better have brought this to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems. Do not go there now, though -- it is here and it can stay here.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:48, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

124.148.202.69 a.k.a. Jermboy (again)

  Pending

In July, i've reported HorseWitch and sockpuppets, a crosswiki vandal (indefinitely blocked) interested in creation of hoaxes reguarding road signs. User made several disruptive (and difficult to find) edits changing something about road signs. Then he started creating pages about road signs into fake countries/places as "Badziki", Hotsapore, and others (here is my final report in august with the link to en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jermboy27/Archive).

One month ago Dodomen created Dozec road signs (Dozec is nothing) and uploaded several road signs diagrams to use into Dozec-related fake categories. After the block, it appeared another anon, 74.104.115.155 contributing to it, blocked for 2 weeks, than Jermboy2711, indefinitely blocked. Then others... Now this anon continues the work. I'm searching for contribs to revert everything and tag for deletion all new contribs: files, pages and categories. Please note reguarding "Dozec": why a country with 43 highways (shields come from NZL) has no category here or an article at enwiki?

Contribs: Nonsense new contribs are Dozec road signs, Category:Diagrams of road signs of Dozec, Category:Road signs of Dozec by number and its 3 subcategories (Category:RGS 019 - Yield‎, Category:RGS 020 - Stop‎, Category:WG 001 - Crossroads‎).

Note: Some new pages, as road signs of Ireland, Iran, Japan, Russia, New York, New Zealand, Greece (a sort of duplicate of this) etc... make sense (apart from some vandalisms of his same sp, reverted). Some files were well categorized, others were categorized into that fake nations... I don't think this is a case of edit-schizophrenia; I think that Jermboy is the "James Moriarty of vandals". Due to the numbers of IP masks, edits, uploads and contribs, he is very able to shuffle serious edits and vandalisms and also to confuse users doesn't know all the history of his career. So, pages as Dozec road signs may pass in the chaos of his contribs. I recommend to watch about the serious pages I've linked above. Apart from Japan, patrolled by me in July and copy of the enwiki page, the others seems to be serious but I'm not sure about the one in Iran. I've tagged for deletion Road signs in Kuwait in august because it was a simple gallery of US road signs.

End: It was quite impossible for me to check all the contribs of Jermboy and sp. It gave me a big headache to make this report, and I suppose to have discovered the 10% of "all". Some of his anon contribs started in 2009 or 2008, and the confusion between normal edits and jokes is very tangled. Page by page, as for the ones I've linked above, there are dozens (or hundreds) of anon and newbie edits, sometimes repeating categories have been checked. 124.148.202.69 is the last vandal in action, and I suppose they will arrive others. To avoid all the problems I've explained, hoax pages and categories (in november as in july), I request for a very long rangeblock. The extent of damage caused by the user to Commons in last months (or years?) is considerable. Doese he loves road signs? Ok, let's give him a Stop ;-) . Sorry for length of my report, regards. --Dэя-Бøяg 03:11, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

A brief scheme to help: Sockpuppets and style

Blocked between july and december
Possible anon sockpuppets
  • and lots more of anons 124., 203., 117. see the histories here, here etc. Suddenly he write Categories have been checked lots of time in the edit summary.
Style

User is interested into road signs, principally STOP and YIELD. He uses sometimes to upload them, and sometimes substitute to normal signs (some vandalism for Quebec at pl.wiki). He uses to create galleries (here as at enwiki) of road signs per country. Some are normal, others are on invented countries: Badziki, Hotsapore, Dozec, Rafid. Some normal galleries (as the one of Kuwait) have signs of other countries. Anon uses to write in the edi summary things as categories have been checked!, Roadwork signs are added!, Oh yeah!, Category has changed, Clean etc... Suddenly he uses the exclamation mark. Also the file uploaded may be checked, sometimes are low resolution copies or fantasies. For example: Are the File:Stop-sign.gif and File:Rg6.gif (uploaded by Dodomen) road signs used in New Zealand?

It seems to me that Tsca's actions were correct -- he removed two speedy deletion tags because he disagreed with the tag and left a note on User talk:Michael Metzger suggesting that a DR was the correct route. Speedy deletions are reserved for "the most obvious cases", so that removing the tags and suggesting a DR was correct and certainly not vandalism.      Jim . . . .

There is certainly edit warring which is wrong. However I failed to see that we can be sure this is freely licensed. It is a scan of a book - which is unknown - I can't see those two statement are compatible? The author's name does not appear in a google search either? --Herby talk thyme 10:40, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
It is not an actual order of the USSR government (for this there is PD-RU-exempt anyway). This is a scan of a Nazi flyer, dropped in mass at the summer of 1944 before leaving the occupied territories of Ukraine. There are not any doubts about it either in Russia or Ukraine. So the question comes to: what Commons license (if any) would be appropriate for a German Nazi flyer, first published June 1944? --Neolexx (talk) 23:16, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
It isn's scan, but shortened text of flyer. --KVK2005 (talk) 13:09, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
I still think it is OK now. There are multiple people involved in "production" of this file: (1) German Government that created the original (we have {tl|PD-GermanGov}} for that), (2) Book author that retyped the text into the book ( I do not think that can be copyrighted) (3) Whoever scanned or photographed the book ( I do not think that can be copyrighted either and we can add {{PD-scan}} if needed).

  • Reasons for reporting: I do suspect non-constructive actions of this anonymous user. It was reported by uploader w:ru:Участник:Vade Parvis that this user places mass deletion requests under bizzare reasons. A quick check of the first image affected File:Clay with extremely rare half track Land Rover at Camp Cooke.JPG is indeed vandalized by a wrong deletion request.

  • image was stolen from the private site where it is stated that "Follow the links below to see pictures from my tour and pictures submitted by friends." Nowhere on the site it is stated that these pictures were taken by the US Government as uploader claims. 98.88.92.10 23:50, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
    • If you decided to quote, you may want to start from the beginning: "I have myself returned from Iraq where I had the honour of serving as an Infantryman with the Ghost Battalion of Garry Owen 2-7 Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division." And PD-USGov-Military-Army says "This image is a work of a U.S. Army soldier or employee, taken or made during the course of the person's official duties." If you insist that "my tour" has to be understood here as "my leisure time tour" or "my fun trip" or similar then I remain speechless and I'll better wait for Commons admins' decision. --Neolexx (talk) 00:51, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
      • I infer that you are infering- wrongly, that this particular image has a PD status. There is nothing there to suggest that. Anybody could have taken that photo. In fact i suggest you and your friends stop uploading pictures with questionable status, as they are likely to be deleted anyways. I much prefer when the uploader actually upload his or her own works, rather then stealing them from private sites whihout requesting permission from their owners. Thank you for understanding!98.88.92.10 01:00, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
          • RE:PD status. As per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Gul Mudin.jpg any images shot by US military personnel are considered PD-USGov. The image in question was shot in Camp Cooke, Iraq. Likelyness it was shot by a civilian, not employed by the US = Zero. --Túrelio (talk) 16:35, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
            • So what you saying that you admit to the fact that you dont know who took the photo but you still insist that it could not be a person who is NOT US-military personnel. And you base your assumption on the fact that it was made in the Camp Cooke. i suppose a civilian working or visiting the place could not possible take a snapshot... right... Bottom like is what you are saying is assumption and not a fact (fact is that the image is property of the site owner).98.88.100.52 18:17, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

        • For the record, I never contacted or even knew about user Vade Parvis until about 1 hour ago, when he came panicking to the ruWiki copyright forum and I happened to be the only one sleepless that time in Russia at that forum. I do consider your particular actions questioned in this thread (from my personal experience in the project) as being far away from what would be called "productive" in any mean "productive" could be stretched in application to the Wikimedia. You obviously may have a contrary idea about this particular activity. For a better neutrality I will refrain from any further communication with you in this thread. As the affected contributor Vade Parvis claimed in his post to have zero level of knowledge of English, I may act (if it comes to) as a translator of his posts in this thread, clearly marking each such case and leaving the Russian original intact.

  • To summarize the current claim, a participant of the Russian Wikipedia Vikiped was recently blocked for 3 days for numerous civility code violations where a Commons contributor and a productive participant Vade Parvis was one of attacked sides.
  • This block for similar violations is not the first for Vikiped. Earlier it was confirmed that he used an IP in 98.88.x.x range to bypass the block. The address range 98.88.0.0—98.88.255.255 is blocked for pinging behind the router. With a non-zero probability it might be speculated that a single participant is on full/partial control of a part of network assigned to the Roswell High School and using this control to anonymously bypass blocking and to initiate bulk deletion requests under dynamic IP's in the above mentioned range. --Neolexx (talk) 16:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
  • My russian is like your english - is not so good. But be that as it may i would like to think that you guys instead of chasing your own tail trying to besmirch users in the wikipedia commons with your Russian ways, talking about "non-zero probability " "full/partial control of a part of network assigned " and so on and so on, should focus on not uploading files without having proper documentation to prove the PD status. Also i dont know why you are dragging your feuds here in the forum. You need to resolve whatever issues you have with your accounts first and then talk about various unrelated issues you might have with your friends and business associates from the Roswell high school. Perheps you kids should play nice in that High school of yours and do not get in fights with other kids there, especcially if you all cant focus on keeping your accounts in order here on the commons. 98.88.100.52 17:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I would also like to note that, contrary to statements made by anonymous, my PD justification are not something out of the ordinary — they are quite common and widely accepted in the Commons. In fact, almost all of the images of armored vehicles, that were not made ​​by users themselves and were not provided by large libraries, has completely similar justification — so all these hundreds of files uploaded by different users at different times, according to the nominator's logic also should be removed from for alleged violations. Vade Parvis (talk) 20:41, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I think you should be less concerned with "hundrends of files" and more with files YOU are uploading. So far you are not helping us at all with your statements, regarding your high school activities. Schoolyard bully act in this forum, is not gonna help your cause. In fact more you are trying to intimidate the community HERE with your references to your "Russian connections" and intimate knowledge of the high school politics, the less inclined i am to see you as aasset to the community. You are uploading files that you "claim" to be PD but instead of providing documentation you are and your "comrads" here are acting as famed "KGB" cadres, trying to terrorise folks in to submission with innuendo and veiled threats. Are you planning to "take up" this matter in your Roswell high school too? You claim to know "whom to get" there for inconveniencing you and your gang here. Is that right? Seriously what is that gonna acomplish? Explain this to me! 98.88.100.52 20:55, 9 January 2012 (UTC)


  Comment I do not like the tone of this discussion. There seem to be a lot of insinuations and hints, with statements like "you kids should play nice in that High school of yours" etc. It is also not OK to be making jokes about other people's English skills, since many of us are not that good at it. As for Neolexx original complain about the possibility that 98.88.92.10 ( who night be ru:User:Vikiped) is using Commons Deletion Request to harass User:Vade Parvis as a continuation of some feud. I think it is very likely, however, it is also very common, see for example all the deletion of files uploaded by User:Fæ filed by User:Pieter Kuiper in the last week. Unfortunately, the best defense against that is to upload only images with easily verifiable licenses; otherwise you have to defend each file separately. In case of User:Vade Parvis uploads, the license status is not always clear.

Although I do not like people using Deletion Request as a punishment, I share 98.88.92.10 uneasiness about the licenses. --Jarekt (talk) 14:42, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, a lot of images on Commons have questionable licenses, which sometimes remain unchallenged for years. Someone has to be continuously finding and tagging such images. Especially old photographs with rarely used licenses are often not scrutinized as much. However once copyright status is challenged (no matter why some set of images was chosen for closer examination), the argument about other images having similar issues, is not very useful. You can nominate the images for deletion, and I asure you that they will be treated the same way your images are. --Jarekt (talk) 18:32, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

        • well, this one flickr image (kept by me) could have been a copy&paste mistake by the IP user (the likeliness that is was an intentional "fake" is pretty low). The obvious problem here is that the IP contributions are neither "vandalism only", nor "generally helpful" (rather someting in between). And the other, more serious problem is that not all of your uploads have proper sources/licenses. – The second problem is the one you can fix and should take care of in the future (advice: please don't upload images with unclear copyright status, especially don't claim "public domain" if there's no specific and valid rationale). --:bdk: 00:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
          • I see my mistakes in the descriptions of some files, and now corrected gradually, but nevertheless, I do not think they are critical and I think that where it would be constructive just ask me to clarify the description of the file where it is a problem, but do not start randomly deleting them , citing justification say nothing removal. Later in more detail accomplish your goal in this regard. Specifically, the following nominations: for example, the license status of photos of experimental Soviet armored car BAD-1 of interwar decades are quite clear (see files descriptions) — but an anonymous randomly put half of photos to deletion with their standard copy-paste justification (although the other half was made at the same time and even in the same place). Or another example: anonymous nominated for deletion (with the standard justifications) all the pictures of the Clayton tractor model 1916 downloaded be me, although three of them indicating as the source post in the authoritative technical portal, which the author explicitly stated that digitized photographs from the The Ingeneer magazine number, published in 1917, the creating period of the fourth photography (the first half of XX century) and the anonymity of its author is also very clear (The only problem of this 4 files was — incidentally, not mentioned in the anonymous nominations — license PD-Old instead of the recommended PD-UK-unknown), and the fifth photo depicts machine of Russian White Army, which was photographed in 1919 and published in 1920 in the "Броневое дело" (Armor craft) magazine — with reference to the book from which it was taken, and the additional on-line source, which also contains this information (now only leftthe reference to book with added a link to a digitized with the authors'agreement version of article from this book).
