User:jdx

In the light of recent events I have decided to end my career on Commons. Therefore I have issued a death threat to a random, innocent vandal: Special:PermanentLink/611756483. --jdx Re: 02:38, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

A simple request to have yourself blocked would of been sufficient, quite bizarre you're doing this extra shit. 1989 (talk) 02:56, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Isn't it obvious? It's more fun this way. --jdx Re: 03:04, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
Wow, isn't it funny to issue a death threat to prove a point? I'm dying. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 13:22, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
This is clearly in response to the Rodhullandemu case, and has been mentioned in the resulting RfDA. But I take a slightly different view: Jdx didn't just make a death threat (which is bad enough), they also disrupted Commons to illustrate a point. Brianjd (talk) 10:15, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 Support, sadly. However, vandals are not innocent.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 12:37, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 Support I assumed the result was already known, and we were just waiting for an admin to review this case. But apparently we are voting, so now I lodge my vote. No explanation should be necessary; all the relevant issues were already covered in the Rodhullandemu discussions. Anyway, jdx apparently doesn't want to be here anymore. Brianjd (talk) 12:40, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 Support block - Imagine being this childish!. Imagine ending your Wiki-career all because someone got reblocked over posting a death threat and because one admin's at COM:Desysop over their unblocking of that person, Imagine being that sad. –Davey2010Talk 12:51, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
 Oppose - Jdx is temporarily frustrated, I think. If the 'threat' will be removed hidden by Jdx (or 'make it hidden'), I have no objection. If they really wanna quit, there are other ways to do that. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 12:56, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
@Richardkiwi Jdx can't remove their threat, because it was already reverted as vandalism. What do you expect them to do? Brianjd (talk) 13:01, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
@Richardkiwi I'm sorry but what ?, Everyone on this project at one time or another has got "temporarily frustrated" but you don't see us issuing death threats do you?. Please rethink your comment here. –Davey2010Talk 13:03, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

I'm not telling you how to think or what to say .... I'm just baffled how you seem to think being "temporarily frustrated" is a good enough reason to make such vile comments. I ask you @Richardkiwi if I'm temporarily frustrated with someone can I just randomly come to your talkpage and threaten to rip your head off ? Because that's what's just happened above. –Davey2010Talk 13:19, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

User:Scherzo20

This user just targeted me with a legal threat on their talk page after I informed them of their repeated misuse of copyvio templates. This warrants a block per Wikimedia policies, per COM:NPLT. Their global contribs indicate they are a single-purpose account for the subjects François Noudelmann and Camille Laurens, and their editing behavior suggests to me that they likely have a conflict of interest. Οἶδα (talk) 00:41, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

This certainly is not a normal reply to a polite request to stop making claims of copyvios without providing any reason at all. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:19, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
@Οἶδα While I agree that their response here (as linked by Beeblebrox) was not acceptable, I'm not seeing a larger problem. None of their enwiki changes seem to have been challenged (either by reversions or warnings), except for an external link being removed per enwiki guidelines. Is there something more serious on frwiki? Brianjd (talk) 08:21, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
There does not need to be a "larger problem". The user threatened me with a legal threat, which is against Wikimedia's guidelines and grounds for a block. Οἶδα (talk) 08:26, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
@Οἶδα I agree that this is grounds for a block, but I still want to establish the basis for the rest of your comment (your statement that they have a conflict of interest, and the implied accusation of bad faith relevance of them being a single-purpose account). Brianjd (talk) 08:34, 5 December 2021 (UTC) edited Brianjd (talk) 08:51, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
It is maybe a tangent, so perhaps you are correct that it does not have relevance. And perhaps should not be discussed at this junction. But I am reasonably suspicious that the editor is connected to the subjects, who are partners in real life and have had COI accusations in their own professional field. The account has edited Noudelmann's page since 2019, including one of their edit summaries even asserting information only a COI could possess at the moment. Now, merely a week after I uploaded the free images of Laurens, they return to request deletion of the images for no valid reason aside from perhaps them not liking the images. This is all behaviour I have seen before from COI accounts, including the sudden communication of legal threats when they are unable to remove the content which they attempted to. And as in those instances, the users were promptly banned. Οἶδα (talk) 00:59, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

These two accounts have both been overwriting images with completely unrelated content, sometimes copyvios (see particularly the history of File:Forms of government parliamentary 2021 June.svg, but also File:BSEC members.png from a few days ago).

User:GeorgiPergelov2009

I'm not sure how it works here, but could an admin check the input of a user mentioned above? He uploads lots of heraldic pictures without any source, edits national emblems contrary to the historical facts, uploads "newer versions" of symbols (like here: File:Emblem of Yugoslavia (1963–1992).svg, File:Lebanese French flag.svg), mixed versions from different eras, some hoaxes (like File:Coat of arms of Romania (2021–2022).svg), experiments where finally he reverts himself (File:Flag of Texas.svg) etc. Today he reverted my revert of him, as he deleted an inscription from the wreath of Yugoslavia's CoA I mentioned above, even though I pasted an outtake from country's constitution regarding the coat of arms design. On his talk page there are dozens of deletion requests (most of them already solved in favor of deletion). In the discusions section of said requests there are accusations of him being a puppet of another user. Finally he is the one who uploaded "new" French flag (File:Flag of the French Republic.svg, as the original was protected) and somehow edited it into most of the Wikis and their flag templates. It's my first go at this type of situation at Commons, so I'm not sure how to deal with it. I do believe Georgi's input here is somewhat harmful to the project. I hope someone will help.

@Kj1595: I'm a bit confused by your recent edits of the template at the English Wikipedia. You cite article 12 of the constitution, but the template should rather quote article 12 of the 2016 copyright law as in the weblink, shouldn't it? De728631 (talk) 15:54, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
@De728631: You are correct. I made the changes to reflect that. Kj1595 (talk) 16:09, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
Thank you.

User Engg317: A succesful spammer

Hello. I have recently realized that user Engg317 uploaded a set of useful images about BIM (3d architectural models) more than two years ago. The problem is that every image had this promotional description, which is a kind of SPAM:

INDBIM wants to offer Architectural and Engineering services of international benchmarks to organizations around the entire world whereas keeping great degrees of client satisfaction and success. Our work culture is reinforced by constructive frame of mind, in depth knowledge, and powerful core principles, that lead to our strong performance, productivity and retention.

The same user name appears as related with the same company (INDBIM) in other websites, as here. Please, block the user, maintain the useful images and automatically replace the promotional text of every image with something neutral as “3D architectural model”. Thanks. --Pompilos (talk) 23:33, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

I believe that this is considered a legal threat. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 13:05, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

I hide the diff because disruptive but legal threat isn't a policy here, so is a intimidation/harassment, user hasnt't previous blocks and edits here since 2009, I left him a serious warning Ezarateesteban 17:59, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
While I can't see the deleted edit, I'd note for the record that this was the second time he made unpleasant comments directed at Minorax [1] and was also faily unpleasant to the user who nominated the files [2][3] without actually commenting at all in the deletion discussion in question. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:38, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Intimidation/harassment only came one-sided from Minorax by vandalism. I am the guy who you are talking about, so please direct your speech directly to me and not ABOUT me, understand? First of all, Minorax, it is fundamental things of human coexistence is that one addresses problems and not cowardly and senselessly deleting files without knowing the background. You should work more on yourself in order to maybe get a higher level of socialization and better social acceptance. Thank you Minorax. Second, they are Open Topo Maps and took time and effort to edit. You delete it with a simple click of the mouse and I have to laboriously sit down and restore everything again. Me and the Wikipedia community have the damage and not you, Minorax. So please next time, think better twice, because even your actions have consequences and find a more sensible way for you and the others to deal with these things in the future, because the damage is not on your side, but by other people. Thank you very much for your understanding. Best Regards, --Graf zu Pappenheim (talk) 03:50, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
You've been told many times that your uploads would require a source unless it was created from scratch by you. Instead of understanding what I've been telling you, you went around making a fuss over me deleting your files. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 04:37, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Looking at your edit history, you appear to have made one recent attempt to discuss this with Multichill (talk · contribs) but you didn't respond to their reply.[7] Have you initiated another discussion elsewhere? Escalating from a single request on a talk page to a request for a block seems a little premature. From Hill To Shore (talk) 23:41, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping. @Esquilo: Seems a bit weird to start at User_talk:Multichill#Adding_main_subject_(P921)_to_media_that_already_has_both_depicts_(P180)_and_digital_representation_of_(P6243)_does_not_make_any_sense. and not replying there at all, but instead to come here. I don't recall you ever participating with any of the modeling discussions at Commons:Structured data, but I might have overlooked you. Multichill (talk) 23:51, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
The reply I got there was basically a "don't revert my edits!" Byt as I pointed out, there is no sense in adding main subject (P921) to media that already has the same object as digital representation of (P6243). /ℇsquilo 09:42, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

File:Westerblokker 119, Blokker.JPG‎

Somebody repeatatly removes the status as gemeentelijk monument of File:Westerblokker 119, Blokker.JPG‎, because they don't like it. The building has this heritage status, wether they like it or not. I know, because I'm not only the photographer but I also happen to work for the municipal department that is all about heritage in the municipality of Hoorn. Because the remover works from an IP-adress I don't know who it is, and every time it is from a different IP, so starting a discussion on their talkpage won't work. Please, either protect the file or block the range. If this is not the correct page, please move it to a more appropriate location, this is my first (and hopefully only) request.

Media from News 360 Tv

Media like File:Trucks line Wellington street Freedom Convoy 2022.png and File:Parliament Hill during protest Freedom Convoy 2022.png are licensed (with review) as Creative Commons because that is how they are posted on YouTube by the News 360 Tv channel.

Most likely a sock

I filed a deletion request for File:Sarah.webp. The file was uploaded by ShermanSarah (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) , which is now a globally locked account due to crosswiki abuse. Shortly after i nominated that file for deletion, ShermanSara (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  removed the deletion notice from the file and deleted my reasoning on the deletion nomination page and replaced it with a claim that the file was verified via VRTS. The similar name, the fact that the second account was created less than a day after the deletion notice was left on the first account's talk page, and the fact that both share the same name (just with an alternate spelling) makes it clear to me that it's a sock. Not to mention that the first account has a history of creating socks, which is what they were blocked for in the first place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bait30 (talk • contribs) 02:13, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Can't believe that "Jonathan Field" nonsense is still going on in cross-wiki projects. That image has thankfully been deleted but it was early for me to see it to work out where that image came from but the reason for deletion from Tureilo could be it came from Facebook.

User:Kursant504

Kursant504 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

User:A.Savin has blocked User:Kursant504‬ for 3 months with violation of Commons:Blocking policy:

  • At first, administrator must be ensure that the user has been appropriately warned for blocks based on disruptive behaviour. But user have been blocked without any warning.
  • At second, blocks are preventative rather than punitive, and block duration will be proportional to the time likely needed for the user to familiarize themselves with relevant policies and adjust their behaviour. I think that block duration for 3 months isn't proportional to actions of User:Kursant504‬
  • At third, actions of User:Kursant504‬ didn't fall under Commons:Blocking policy#Use

I think that this block is controversial and User:Kursant504‬ must be unclocked. Also this is not first case of controversial blocks by User:A.Savin. Earlier User:Soul Train have been indefinitely blocked by User:A.Savin only by political reasons --Butko (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

 Not done. Kursant created multiple incorrect deletion requests on politically sensitive theme. It was necessary to stop him. The block was not punitive, but preventative. Block duration can be discussed, presumably on unblock request. On emergency situations like massive vandalism previous warning is not needed. Taivo (talk) 12:11, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
In Commons:Deletion requests/File:Вкрадений БТР.jpg you was agree with his DR. I think that first step must be warning, but first step was block for 3 months --Butko (talk) 12:22, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
The mentioned file was claimed own work, but it was found in Internet with bigger resolution. The uploader was not reliable. The files nominated by Kursant came from official data streams, they had correct source and license – and one of them was on front page of English Wikipedia. Taivo (talk) 12:37, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
Official data streams is not equal to free license. At least, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bucha civilians massacred by Russian soldiers, c. April 2022 - 01.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bucha civilians massacred by Russian soldiers, c. April 2022 - 02.jpg have reasons. Photographies have never falls under {{PD-UA-exempt}}.

Both Cesar David MP and Sakiv keep reverting each other.

But the edit-war has not ceased and even expanded to File:Palestinian_flag_1938.svg. TilmannR (talk) 16:28, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
You should have returned the stable version until we reach a solution. The other user makes many mistakes, his revisions have been reverted on many flags (Iraq, Argentina, Taliban) recently. Did you see that? Besides, his likely use of sockpuppets like IndoMajaBoi. This could have been handled much better.--Sakiv (talk) 16:44, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Can any of the administrators help me?
I find bias from Arab content writers Against Mariam Al-Sayegh, a literary entrepreneur, program presenter, university professor, and president of the Foundation for the Development of Arab Creativity Does Wikipedia have a religion? Is there prejudice against non-Muslims? I found an article by Ahmed El-Shahawi, who did not awarded the UNESCO Prize in Literature, and I published the link for the award And they don't change the lies written Mariam Al-Sayegh is a writer, poet, novelist and short story writer who has a sub-site on Civil Dialogue with 12 million readers to write. Her poems, written twenty years ago, are stolen today all over the Arab world In every site where she publishes her poems, the poem's words are stolen and imitated by others She sells her books in secret by pre-selling before printing So that she does not steal her poems and texts, and she promises her book buyers that thieves will not steal her poems before ten years. Her personal website and website have been hacked four times She was restricted in publishing because she was a leftist who wrote about minority rights Twenty years ago, I was accused of atheism And when she wrote about Christ, she stole her poems from Christians. And I was insulted by Muslims She was expiated for writing about myths and ideas that did not suit them She has worked as a presenter since 2000 and has her own programs: theater etiquette, etiquette of life, etiquette of love, etiquette of neighbors. She lost many episodes of her published programs due to hacking of her sites, and she is now publishing an episode of every program only due to the theft of her content. She has the Arab Creativity Development Foundation It has implemented many initiatives since 2001, including initiatives that are full of creativity to discover the talents of poor talented children, prepare orphans and marry them off, projects to develop breadwinners, and a number of initiatives for orphaned children and change their name from orphaned children to beloved children. And the generations that grew up in the institution are now creative in every field Etiquette and skills trainer for journalists, economists and politicians She has books and training courses Layan gamal (talk) 18:36, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

This is an Italian Wikicommoner. On 16 October 2011 he was blocked indefinitely because of uploading unfree files after warning. He has recently contacted me, after 10+ years of ban. He is aware now of his several violations of copyright thus he doesn't question the legitimacy of the received block. He only said that at that time he was utterly unaware of infringing the copyright since he was at all ignorant of authors' rights rules. He only would like to know whether the admins are willing to examine the possibility of trust him now that he's aware of the violation he committed and careful about authors' rights. -- Blackcat 18:23, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

User:Rangel Carregosa

User:Rangel Carregosa is currently blocked. Apparently he User_talk:Rangel_Carregosa#unlock account asked last November to be reinstated, a request addressed to User:Elcobbola and turned down by User:Taivo. He recently emailed me requesting reinstatement. I have no strong opinion in the matter, but will say that it looks like he has been recently active on pt-wiki, and I don't see any problems with his work there. Given that nothing he did in the past was particularly awful, I'd be in favor of giving him another chance, with the understanding that it would be a last chance. - Jmabel ! talk 04:34, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

As Taivo referenced, this has the makings of a repeat of last time: private email, promise to discontinue, unblocked, repeated anyway. Especially with the context of this exchange with Rangel Carregosa's sock, the extent of their dishonesty suggests a defect of the sort that would not be remedied by mere years, and work with fair use on pt.wiki is not germane to block reasons on the Commons.
