By-passing a block using IP address

Definitely per Rillke - copyright violations are copyright violations whoever spots them. Bad practice (indeed illegal) to ignore such --Herby talk thyme 16:52, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Pierre - I already did that & I agree with you unless we get some info to the contrary. --Herby talk thyme 17:35, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

This is a bit off-topic. The issue here is not the validity of DRs (leave that to the DR discussions) but whether we are going to let a blocked user raise DRs using IPs when the have just been blocked for a month for their poor behaviour. Nobody has seriously argued that this IP is not PK, the quacking is too loud to ignore. --Fæ (talk) 17:38, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Equally the copyright violation is too obvious to be ignored or closed quickly. This is not about "who" but about whether files can be freely licensed - no more - no less. We must ensure that files are legal or action could be taken against the Foundation. --Herby talk thyme 17:44, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Please raise your concerns in the relevant DR if you think it is more important than dealing with a block evader deliberately causing disruption and harassing me. This thread, 'By-passing a block using IP address' is about block evasion, not copyright. --Fæ (talk) 18:16, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
I do not mind reverts to the DR closures. However, I think we should habitually disregard COM:POINTy nominations such as these. These can be addressed through fresh DRs not tainted by such bad faith. -- とある白い猫 ちぃ？ 21:27, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Omar2788 and sockpuppet DzM3ahom

DzM3ahom is a sockpuppet of Omar2788 as confirmed at the French Wikipedia (where he also used أسامه2788). DzM3ahom is indefinitely blocked on French Wikipedia and Omar2788 is blocked for two weeks.

Omar2788 has been blocked twice on Commons for uploading copyright violations (see Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 28#User:Omar2788). DzM3ahom has also been used to upload copyright violations. Both accounts were used to attempt to upload Rachid makhloufi.jpg.

DzM3ahom (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  should be blocked indefinitely. There's no reason to allow a problem user to use multiple accounts to obscure their problematic behavior. أسامه2788 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  should also be blocked to prevent abuse. Since Omar2788 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  obviously didn't learn anything from their last block, another block appears to be needed for that account as well. However, because they're not frequently active Commons (at least not under the known user names), a limited-time block might not have much effect. I'd therefore suggest considering an indefinite block for that account as well, to be lifted if and when the user makes a credible commitment to start using their privileges responsibly. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:47, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

The LTTE in their final call said only Northern and Eastern Provinces (ISGA). This stamp they did in 1983 doesn't include it either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tamil_eelam_stamp.jpg The TNA today represents the Northern and Eastern Provinces. Puttalam is never included.

Proposal to unblock User:Lucas Brígido/Lucas Secret

Hi there fellow admins,

I've been contacted by User:Lucas Secret (formerly User:Lucas Brígido) who requested to be unblocked. He is not very fluent in English and previous communication with project administrators has been sub-optimal. He seems to have done several mistakes in the past, but it appears to me that he is now a more mature editor. After his block here, he has continued to edit in the Portuguese Wikipedia and has been promoted to "deleter" (a custom user right implemented at ptwiki) and rollbacker there. Here on commons, he has been blocked indefinitely since 2009, and has requested to be unblocked a few times, all declined (see User talk:Lucas Brígido). Upon his last request, User:AFBorchert commented about how this (then) recent edit demonstrated he was still acting in bad faith; well, that seems to me like a typical reaction of an editor frustrated with the project, after attempting to deal with an issue that affects him personally. The message he left me (in Portuguese) reveals an editor with some clue, for what my judgment's worth. I say let's give him another chance, conditioned to immediate and indefinite blocking at the first instance of rule breaking. I've asked him to request an editor from pt.wikipedia to comment here. What are your thoughts? --Waldir talk 15:55, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

I hate this place, these silly rules, and especially this Administrator (Martin H.)!!

— diff
I think this shows that the user is currently not inclined to follow our guides and policies. When he is (some day in the future), he has to answer a few things (question about his behaviour, his intentions and copyright) before he is unblocked. -- RE rillke questions? 07:13, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
I agree with Rillke that Lucas ows Martin H. an apology and us some declaration (either in Portuguese or in English as he prefers) how he wants to move forward. His talk page access has not been blocked. It is also to be noted that he continued to work here as Lucas Secret after he was blocked as Lucas Brigido. This is not even half a year ago. Having said all this, I am principally open to reconsider indefinite blocks (that's why they are called that way) and good contributions in other projects should be considered, too. But I do not think that the current statement is sufficient as this happend not three years ago but in December last year and the circumvention of the block in January of this year. --AFBorchert (talk) 09:06, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Again, those reactions ("I hate this project and Martin H" and attempting to circumvent the block) seem to me like actions of a frustrated editor who tried to get unblocked several times with out success. I agree that he should offer an apology for the heated behavior, but to some degree I understand where that steam was coming from. I also agree that he should make a statement committing to refrain from incurring in the same level of harsh dialog or circumvention attempts should any conflict arise in the future. He is aware of this thread and I expect a comment here from him, as well as from a trusted/established editor from ptwiki (preferably an admin) vouching for him. I already advised him to enact this. --Waldir talk 10:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Vou escrever em português, pois meu inglês não é bom e eu tenho certeza do que eu estou escrevendo. Eu sou o usuário "Lucas Secret", mudei meu nome por motivo de privacidade em relação a pesquisas do Google, para preservar minha privacidade, não foi para contornar meu bloqueio aqui. Meu nome foi alterado na Wikipédia em português, espanhol e inglês, onde eu fiz algumas edições. Queria mudar meu nome aqui também, mas estou bloqueado!
Eu era muito jovem e novato em 2009, queria carregar capas de discos para usar na Wikipédia, não tinha conhecimento das regras de direitos autorais. Hoje em dia eu sei qual é o tipo de licença aceita aqui, vejam por exemplo essa página (em português) ou essas fotos do Flickr [6], [7], [8], que mostram o meu conhecimento sobre as licenças que são permitidas aqui no Commons {{CC-BY}}, {{CC-BY-SA}}, {{PD}} e {{Cc-zero}}. Para algumas fotos do Brasil, pode ser usado {{PD-BrazilGov}}.
Ganhei experiência trabalhando na Wikipédia, combatendo vandalismo e desenvolvendo outras funções. Por isso gostaria de ganhar uma chance de mostrar isso aqui, mas ninguém nunca me desbloqueou para que eu pudesse fazer minhas edições. O Martin H. deu uma segunda chance para o usuário Vitor Mazuco, que também cometeu erros no passado e agora pode mostrar que mudou seu comportamento. O usuário Vitor tentou me ajudar com o meu desbloqueio, só que eu nunca tive essa segunda chance, por isso fui agressivo com ele na minha página de discussão.
“ Peço desculpas ao usuário Martin H., por ter sido agressivo com ele na minha página de discussão. Eu estava muito nervoso e frustrado por nunca conseguir o que eu queria: o meu desbloqueio! ”
--Lucas Secret.
Eu só quero ser desbloqueado para provar que eu mudei. Não vou carregar capas de discos e fotos de cantoras famosas sem permissão aqui. Isso é sério! pedi a um administrador da Wikipédia portuguesa que deixe um comentário sobre o meu comportamento; talvez isso ajude vocês na decisão do meu desbloqueio. 189.107.55.240 18:41, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Translation of above:
I'll write in Portuguese, because my English is not good and I'll be sure of what I'm saying. I am user "Lucas Secret", I changed my username for privacy reasons regarding Google searches, to preserve my privacy, not to circumvent my block here. My name was changed in the Portuguese Spanish and English Wikipedias, where I made a few edits. I wanted to change my name here too, but I am blocked!
I was very young and a newbie in 2009, I wanted to upload album covers to use on Wikipedia, and was not aware of copyright rules. Today I know what kind of license is accepted here, see for example this page (in Portuguese) or these photos from Flickr [9], [10], [11], which show my knowledge of the licenses that are allowed here on Commons: {{CC-BY}}, {{CC-BY-SA}}, {{PD}} and {{Cc-zero}}. For some photos from Brazil, {{PD-BrazilGov}} can be used.
I gained experience working on Wikipedia, fighting vandalism and performing other jobs. Therefore I wanted to have the chance to prove it here, but nobody ever unblocked so I could make my edits. Martin H. gave a second chance to user Vitor Mazuco, who also made mistakes in the past and now can show that he changed his behavior. Vitor tried to help me with the my unblocking, but I never had that second chance, so I was aggressive towards him on my talk page.
“ I apologize to User:Martin H., for being aggressive towards him on my talk page. I was very nervous and frustrated for never getting what I wanted: my unblock! ”
--Lucas Secret.
I just want to be unblocked so I can prove that I changed. I will not upload album covers and photos of famous singers here without permission. For real! I asked a Portuguese Wikipedia admin to leave a comment here regarding my behavior; it might help you in the decision about my unblocking. 189.107.55.240 18:41, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

✓ Done, deixei uma mensagem na minha página de discussão. Lucas Secret (talk) 16:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


Comment: Eu pedi ao administrador que mudou o meu nome de usuário e conhece um pouco do meu trabalho na Wikipédia que deixasse um comentário sobre mim aqui, mas ele achou desnecessário, pois o Commons e a Wikipédia são projetos deferentes. Ele me disse que o mais correto seria que eu mostrasse a vocês que estou ciente dos meus erros e que eles não se repetiram.

Resposta dele na minha página de discussão da Wikipédia:

Oi, Lucas. Eu posso comentar lá e dizer da parte que conheço, mas não acho que isso seja o mais importante. O importante é você escrever na sua página de discussão que compreende os motivos que levaram ao bloqueio e que pretende evitá-los ao máximo. Os projetos são independentes. Falar sobre seu comportamento aqui pode até ajudar, mas, uma pessoa com comportamento exemplar num projeto pode muito bem ser bloqueada em outro se nesse outro ela deu motivos. Portanto, é preciso deixar claro que tem conhecimento dos problemas anteriores e que não tenciona repeti-los. Se isso pelo menos não aumentar a chance de desbloqueio, nada aumentará.

— Resposta do administrador Teles.

Outra prova do meu bom comportamento da Wikipédia é um convite para ser administrador da Wikipédia portuguesa que foi feito pelo administrador Érico Júnior Wouters. Vejam o link do convite na minha página de discussão. Eu recusei o convite para me tornar administrador, pois não achava que aquele era o momento certo para exercer uma função tão importante na Wikipédia. Outra observação importante é que eu nunca fui bloqueado na Wikipédia portuguesa, vejam o meu registo de bloqueio. Eu nunca fui bloqueado em nenhum outro projeto da Wikipédia, com exceção do Commons, devido a alguns erros do passado. Bom, aguardo os comentários de vocês. Lucas Secret (talk) 22:48, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

  1. You used more than 10 socks and at least 2 Flickr-Accounts to flood Commons with copyright violations. Can you understand that Martin H. got upset loosing a lot of time and completely lost the trust in you?
  2. Please explain, using your own words, the meaning of entirely own work?
  3. Please explain why uploading copyrighted material harms Commons and does not help.
  4. Which types of files are often not suitable for Commons and need permission confirmed through COM:OTRS before uploading?

-- RE rillke questions? 09:46, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Responses:

  1. Sim, estou ciente de que dei motivos para o Martin H. não confiar mais em mim. Esses motivos impediram o meu desbloqueio, pois ele não acreditava mais em mim.
  2. É quando eu crio a minha própria foto ou eu sou o dono dos direitos autorais, por exemplo, quando eu vou em algum lugar da minha cidade ou país e eu tiro uma foto. Eu posso colocar como fonte {{Own work}} e como licença {{PD-self}}.
  3. Porque pode criar problemas judiciais ao Wikimedia Commons, eu acho que o dono da foto pode solicitar a eliminação de sua foto, não sei se é possível. Mas tenho certeza que o uso de uma imagem sem autorização pode criar grandes problemas ao Commons, pois nem todas as fotos que estão na internet podem ser usadas sem uma autorização.
  4. Todos os ficheiros que não tem uma licença explicita sobre o seu uso. Por exemplo, todas as fotos do Flickr tem um tipo de licença sobre o seu uso, que sempre fica disponível ao lado da foto. Quando a licença não é aceita pelo Commons ou não está disponível no site é necessário pedir por e-mail uma autorização ao dono dos direitos autorais. O autor deve permitir o uso da imagem com uma licença aceita aqui, igual as gravadoras EMI e Capitol Records fizeram com as fotos da cantora Belinda, vejam [12] e [13].

Pronto, respondi todas as perguntas. Lucas Secret (talk) 14:07, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the fast reply. As from my understanding (with the help of a machine-translator) of your words, the answers are ok. Concerning 2., a question is remaining, though: If you take a photo of a book cover, a sculpture, a modern building, which problem could arise. We have some pages on Commons dealing only with these issues and exemptions. Which are these pages and what’s the problem with a photo of a book cover? -- RE rillke questions? 17:04, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Bom, eu acho que entendi sua pergunta. Eu sou do Brasil e fotos de locais públicos são permitidos aqui, ou seja, eu não teria problema com fotos de uma escultura ou um edifício moderno que esteja disponível em um local público. Veja COM:FOP#Brazil. Mas eu sei que isso não é valido para todos os países, por exemplo, uma foto do Burj Khalifa é protegida por direitos autorais, mesmo sendo um prédio em um local público. Veja COM:FOP#United Arab Emirates. De acordo com {{NoFoP-UAE}}, só é permitido "fotos pequenas" de prédios dessa região, como essa File:Burj Khalifa 005.JPG. Sobre os livros, não é permitido carregar as capas originais, por exemplo File:Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.jpg. Mas se a foto cumpre COM:DM não tem problema, veja alguns exemplos: Category:Harry Potter books and File:MangaStoreJapan.jpg. Acho que respondi tudo, se faltou alguma coisa é só avisar. Lucas Secret (talk) 20:01, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Outra coisa, a página Commons:Derivative works fornece uma explicação para algumas fotos que não podem ser carregas aqui, como algumas obras de arte que são protegidas por direitos autorais, mesmo estando em um local público. Lucas Secret (talk) 20:27, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Erikizmas

Please block Erikizmas (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  again for continuing to upload copyright violations in spite of multiple warnings and two previous blocks. Nearly all of their over 30 uploads have been copyright violations, and in 2½ years, the user has not learned that you can't upload AFP photos from the Herald Sun to Commons. Given the ineffectiveness of previous blocks and user's long-term but infrequent "contributions," further short-term blocks are unlikely to be effective, so I suggest an indefinite block, to be lifted if and when the user decides to take an interest in what Commons is about. —LX (talk, contribs) 00:34, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Does seem curious. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
I probably shouldn't be reading minds, but my (educated :-) ) guess is that Taxiarchos228 was irritated by the fact that the author original image material is Ralf, and that Alchemist contributed "only" the exposure blending, and now "claims" it as his featured picture. That being said, I don't think the edit was an overall positive contribution. If Ralf does not have a problem with that categorization, why would anyone feel the need to police it? Not talking about "ownership", just about basic collegiality. --Dschwen (talk) 00:09, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
My comment (german) can be reading here. Category similar to this image: . --Alchemist-hp (talk) 00:21, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Alchemist-hp fused the single shoots to this image but he is not the creator of this image. --Wladyslaw (talk) 06:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Personally, I would not categorize an FP edit as "an FP of mine". But as Dschwen says, if Ralf does not mind, then why bother policing for that? However, I do not think such edits should have weight in, e.g., the minimum 10 FPs count required for inclusion in Commons:Meet our photographers. For instance, I am currently the creator of 9 FPs. Say if I helped another user to edit a photo such that it could become FP, I would pass the "10" threshold if I considered it an FP of mine. I think that would be cheating. A category like Category:Featured pictures edited by User:Alchemist-hp would be an unambiguous alternative, which would avoid any confusion. Anyway too silly to editwar about. --Slaunger (talk) 07:10, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Und etwas öffentlicheres als Friedhof Arlington in Washington gibts wohl kaum noch. --Ralf Roleček 13:39, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Reinhardhauke's removals of the link on a private homepage are clearly not vandalism. The intentions behing these removals are clearly good, so that a block is not an option at all. In my opinion file descriptions are a regular part of Commons and should be strictly limited to informational purposes. Self-representation should take place on user pages which are – I think everybody knows – to be reached by one click on the username which is linked on a file page.--Leit (talk) 20:20, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I wonder if Reinhardhauke isn't violating the cc license as it allows one to request to be credited in a specific way.
What seems odd is that Ralf doesn't simply request his homepage to be linked. --  Docu  at 21:45, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Currently there is no edit war going on (and has not been for a day), I think this section should be closed.--Leit (talk) 08:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if I understood your comment on his talk page correctly, but you seem to encourage him editing other uploader's credit lines. --  Docu  at 20:04, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Yes, this is the main!!! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 07:30, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Edits like this one that change the credit line of a picture are not acceptable without the consent of the uploader as credit lines are an essential part of the cc-by-sa license. We are voiding this license contract if we are going to change this without consent. If we think that the form of a credit line does not appear to be acceptable, we can discuss this. If at the end the community does not accept a particular credit line and if the uploader does not consent to change the credit line, the pictures have to be deleted instead of changing the credit line. Reinhardhauke, are you going to revert these changes yourself?

I want to add that weblinks are a common part of credit lines and in this case the refered to website appears to be a non-commercial pet project by the uploader. It is a MediaWiki-run with technical information about bicycles. I do not find this objectionable. --AFBorchert (talk) 18:48, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

I second that. --Dschwen (talk) 19:09, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Me too. @Reinhardhauke: please revert your edits/deletions and this problem is resolved. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 19:53, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Actually the licence covers the problem you discuss: "to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work". As www.fahrradmonteur.de is not associated with the images of Ralf and does not provide additional licensing information it seems that the edits of Reinhardhauke don't violate the licence. Therefore he should not be blocked but somebody should thank him because he tries to reduce the amount of advertisement/linkspamming on commons. :) --Isderion (talk) 23:09, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

It is quite an audacity how you justify pissing off valuable contributors by comparing their work to linkspam and advertisments. Your attitude is not beneficial for the project and you should reconsider it. --Dschwen (talk) 02:01, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi.

Over this week-end I made an important move of all categories "2012 Summer Olympics athletes from ..." to "2012 Summer Olympics sportspeople from ..." because these categories contain not only athletes, but also gymnasts, sailors, fencers, etc. Yesterday night, Bidgee (talk · contribs) reverted my changes without any explanation: diff. There I probably made the mistake to revert back again. I spent lots of time moving these categories and I was frustrated that Bidgee (talk · contribs) would just destroy my hard work. Furthermore he left a message on my user page asking me to discuss and threatened me of blockage for disruption (which seems out of proportion with the events). He also blocked the two categories. It is now impossible for me to nominate these categories for discussion. So could someone please unblock these 2 categories so that I can start the discussion that Bidgee (talk · contribs) asked for? Cheers. Badzil (talk) 14:23, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

File:Tower.jpg

OTRS has received notice that uploads of a file with the generic name "Tower.jpg" is causing problems on en.wp. We have had the file moved and the file name, including variants such as "Tower.jpeg" and "Tower.svg", salted as such non-descript names are mostly useless. I suggest you delete the existing redirect and salt the name.Asav (talk) 16:05, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Can you clarify the issue that the redirect is causing on en.wp. if the issue is private email info-commons@wikimedia.org MorganKevinJ(talk) 05:59, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
It's not causing problems on en.wp anymore, since it's been salted. I know we usually don't protect file names pre-emptively, but it's just a matter of restraining users from uploading images with non-descript file names. I'm sure we all agree that file names ought to be as succint as possible, and that generic titles like "Tower.jpg" best be avoided. Asav (talk) 13:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC) (OTRS)

Unblocking of Rodolphus1974

User:Rodolphus1974 has been indefinitely blocked for little over a year now, after he uploaded several images without proper licensing information. I have had a discussion with him via Template:OTRS ticket, and he seems to be a good faith user, with an initially unclear understanding of Commons policy. During the discussion, I have outlined to him the Commons copyright policies relevant to the kind of contributions that he wishes to make, and he seems to understand them. He has asked me to help him start using his account again.—Andrei S. Talk 12:49, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

I'm not against a second chance, I cannot access to that OTRS queue but I trust you to have recall our Licensing policy to this user. --PierreSelim (talk) 13:10, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

FYI: They're not real editors, and it's not a conversation. What you're seeing are stupid open proxy spambots, pretending to give feedback while promoting some URL (usually related to useless SEO services, horse tranquilizer sold as penis pills, and other crap usually peddled by these entrepreneurial geniuses). Of course, those URLs are usually blacklisted. But rather than giving up, the bots seem to remove the URLs and just post the remaining nonsensical part of their messages. We get a lot of these, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on anon recent changes in the File talk namespace and Commons:Open proxy detection. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:49, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

User:London Burning

Via the new account London Burning (talk · contribs), 2 images were uploaded last sunday, both of which I found in same resolution at another location on the web. File:LB Festival.jpg also carried in the EXIF data a photographer name, Ian Southerin. Due to the possible association of the user with the website/radio londonburning.net, I didn't tag the files as copyvio, but only as missing-permission. However, 10 minutes later I received a direct email from info@londonburning.net, which had been sent via the Wikimedia-user-email function of User:London Burning and which had the following content:

  • FUCK YOUU
  • the only thing I've got to say to you is FUCK YOU and all of your nation!

In between I could locate photographer Ian Southerin and ask him whether he had authorizied this photo's upload to Commons under a free license, which he expressedly denied (see OTRS ticket:2012100810009355). He was grateful for our attention. The image has been deleted since.

After I had complained to the abuse dep. of the domain hoster for londonburning.net, well aware that the sending user might be an impostor of londonburning.net and not really associated with that website, I received a second email from that domain which contained no apology, but simply the words "PININHA, PININHAAAAAA" (see OTRS ticket:2012100810005582), which is enough evidence that user account London Burning and londonburning.net are associated.
As nothing good can be expected from such a user, I request an indef block of User:London Burning. --Túrelio (talk) 06:53, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

193.1.88.12 blocked

I've blocked 193.1.88.12 (talk · contribs) for libellous edits and harassment, first for 1 day, then indef and removed talkpage access. I've also reported the IP's edits to the WMF. --Túrelio (talk) 13:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Unless the IP is static and very problematic, or a open proxy server I would advice not to block for infinity IP addresses. I'd suggest to lower it to some weeks or months once the investigation is finished. According to User talk:193.1.88.12 the IP is a {{SharedIPEDU}}. This IP is from a school (Limerick Institute of Technology, Ireland) and has been problematic cross-wiki. I agree that such edits warrants a block and the report you filled is OK too. If the Foundation wants to suppress the edits that's their business but in the meanwhile perhaps a revision deletion of those edits could be implemented. I couldn't find any abuse email in the WHOIS service, but schools/colleges are likely to monitor their Internet usage and maybe they could discover who is the author of such edits and terminate his access/warn him not to repeat... according to their own rules. Regards. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:05, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
I wanted to stay the edits in the history for a few hours only to enable the uploader (who is from WMF) and WMF legal to evaluate them. But if you feel to better hide them immediately, feel free to do so. The indef-block was an ad-hoc reaction to the IP's repeat edit after the initial 1-day block. However, if the affected school feels the problem, the better IMO. --Túrelio (talk) 14:13, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Deleted all my hard work?

ACCOUNT: FERRY LANE ESTATE WILDLIFE

My account Ferry Lane Estate Wildlife has been blocked. Later, I received an email notifying me that the account had been unblocked. I am not a company; I am not doing anything unlawful, but it seems all my hard work creating a botanical listing for my housing estate has been removed (deleted). I am dreadfully upset.

Even though the administrator that emailed me (King of Hearts), said my account is unblocked, I still have no access to my work. Please where is it? It took me ages to compile the list and its heartbreaking to think that Wikipedia has deleted it. PLEASE HELP ME.

Jeanette,
You have not been blocked or anything on Commons, you were blocked on Wikipedia. I'm afraid that Commons is distinct from Wikipedia, and there is nothing we can do, but I think you have done what is required to be unblocked, now just wait (or email the blocking admin). Nothing of yours has been deleted from Commons. Please be aware that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not an indiscriminate collection of information, and I'm afraid the wildlife of a particular street almost certainly fails the wikipedia requirements of notability. -mattbuck (Talk) 13:33, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
The good news is that you have some wonderful images, notably File:Red Admiral with closed wings.jpg. Thank you for contributing them. You should add categories to all of them.
The bad news is that since "Ferry Lane Estate" is an organizational name, you may not use it as part of a Commons user name and I have blocked it. As I say on the User talk:Ferry Lane Estate Wildlife, please feel free to start a new account in a different name -- either a pseudonym or some part or all of your real name, such as User:Jeanette1234. .     Jim . . . .

File:Italian languages.png and File:Dialetti parlati in Italia.png

There is edit warring going on regarding both files. As far as I can see we're dealing with an imported user conflict between User:patavium and User:Sajoch. The former is insisting on it:Progetto:Laboratorio grafico/Immagini da migliorare (since he doesn't contribute here on Commons) to redraw Ladin dialect borders according to his convictions (User:WolfRayet is editing for him), the latter is arguing here on Commons, why Patavium's claims are wrong. Apart from this, I reverted once (before realising what is going on) this file, because I saw surprisingly popping up Lombard dialect areas in South Tyrol on en.wikipedia. I already explained my motives on the related talk page. I'd recommend a full protection, until the contributors found a common talk page and a solution for the dispute. --Mai-Sachme (talk) 16:30, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I gave several sources in suppport of my corrections ([23]) and may add many more. User:WolfRayet checked my sources thoroughly and was convinced my corrections are justifiled ([24] and [25]). The reason he reverted it later was a hint from italian Wikipedia, that i am blocked on italian Wikipedia (for edit-warring with Patavium), and therefore my requests should be ignored ([26]). My request to discuss the issue here on Commons remaind unheard. Patavium explicitly refused to discuss it here, but continued to pressure on italian Wikipedia to alter the maps as per his POV. The sources he gave on it.wiki are ironically all in support of my corrections.--Sajoch (talk) 17:21, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
I am compelled to answer here. Sajoch was blocked for massive damage caused to Wikipedia, for ignoring sources and for repeated edit-wars with users he did not agree with - practically everyone.--Patavium (talk) 20:32, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I believe all licensing templates including subpages should be fully protected but it's a lot of work to do this all by hand. Does cascading protection work for license tamplates an subpages only or does it protect images using them as well? At Minimum the license and layout template + the english version should be fully protected, all others semi. --Denniss (talk) 18:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Do the documentation pages for licensing templates need to be edited? I don't see why, but permitting editing of documentation pages is precisely why we don't typically do cascading protection for templates at en:wp. I agree that license templates should be protected, but see the history of {{PD-Liberia}} for an example of someone disagreeing with that. Nyttend (talk) 15:51, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I do not think need total protection ([edit=sysop, move=sysop]) on the pages indicated. If another administrator wants to modify these protections, I do not object. Greetings. Érico Wouters msg 16:49, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

 Comment For high-use license templates we usually only protect the template, the layout template and English version. Others are usually not protected or partially protected, so others can translate them or correct current translations. Often as our English version evolves, the translations are lagging behind, so each language version might say something different. It is nice is the task of correcting that does not fall only on administrators. --Jarekt (talk) 17:59, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

User:Nordela

It is becoming apparent that the User:Nordela has been up-loading pornographic images (and some also pornographically named), via Flickr, through possible licence/license-laundering techniques. Although — as the pornographic material is skilfully mixed with nudist and other artistic material that are not in fact pornographic in nature — deletion en masse might not be necessary, at least at this juncture, but it is perhaps for the best that a block be placed upon his account and the activities thereof. I thank you. -- 83.100.152.133 03:28, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

File:Flag of Norway.svg

Unlike lots of other national flags this one is protected. There is a request for a change to the sorting of the file on the talk page dating back 1½ years and nothing seems to be done. If such request go unnoticed and there is no policy to protect such files and no specific reason to keep one for this specific flag I'd like to request that the proction is lifted so we can perform such changes ourselves. Cycn (talk) 13:52, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

The initial request was without adding the {{Edit request}} template so it got unnoticed. Change was made in december 2012. But I changed the protection so autoconfirmed may edit the page. --Denniss (talk) 16:07, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Above linked user was warned 23:26, 13 March 2011 that continued copyright violations would result in a block. More were uploaded in February, April, and June of last year. S/he has continued again today. A block is likely in order and any uploads still remaining are likely more copyright violations needing deletion. --auburnpilot talk 04:28, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Review of Indef block of RafikiSykes

Hi,

RafikiSykes has been a problematic user due to a series of alternative accounts that mass uploaded from Flickr and created several issues that needed community support to sort out (including a significant amount of my time). They were limited to one account, but this has now been indef blocked, apparently based on having an account with very few edits back in 2011, rather than breaching the warning given on 5th January 2013. To my eyes this appears an action that imports issues from the English Wikipedia as a rationale to block a user account on Commons. This is not within the standard Blocking Policy or within accepted norms for Commons admins. Please refer to my questions and the summary at User_talk:RafikiSykes#Blocked.

I would appreciate a review of this block and other admin eyes on the validity of an indef block without any explanation of the conditions for 'parole', rather than some other caution or temporary block of this account. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 14:07, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

File:Flag of the Repubblica Cispadana.svg

It seems that the File:Flag of the Repubblica Cispadana.svg is protected somehow but I cannot see how and why. Cycn (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

It was protected because it was in use on the en.wiki mainpage a while ago. I've unprotected it. INeverCry 20:46, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

User:Unauthorized_Bot is editing

The username is rather disruptive (and descriptive) - this bot has not gone through BAG and is uploading a bunch of new images. Could someone look into this? Mono 20:12, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

This really should be dealt with. Not only is the bot unauthorised and operating without a flag, it's also operating faster than the six edits per minute normally permitted even for approved and flagged bots carrying out non-urgent tasks. Approved unflagged bots should be editing slower than that, and unapproved bots are not permitted at all. —LX (talk, contribs) 11:57, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Also, the source given by the uploader was "internet" on all these images. I don't know what further evidence was needed to see that these were blatant copyvios?
