 Not done You have been told above, several times, that we're not going to block accounts now for actions taken several years ago, when there's no ongoing issue. Additionally, this user has *one* upload, so even if this were recent and even if it winds up being a copyright violation - which in this case I am not convinced is the case - we would be giving them a warning at most, not a block.

Can someone delete this category and protect it from future creation? The {{DPLA}} template used in the pages is built with a parser function that allows it to work whether or not the institution category has a "the" in front of the institution name. This one with two "the"s caused almost a million files to be recategorized to a mistaken category, when Category:Media contributed by The Portal to Texas History is the original, and correct, caetgory.

Reverted, full-protected. Tuválkin, consider emailing legal@wikimedia.org about this. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 04:25, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
I didn't consider her repeated demands as valid, especially with regards to her initial reasoning, so I didn't start a deletion request on her behalf: That should have been done by her, the button was easy enough to find. Regrettably, she also announces that she doesn't read our responses. --Enyavar (talk) 05:05, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
I’m usually sympathetic to courtesy deletions, although I’d usually prefer the afflicted party would reconsider: This case has all the hallmarks of having been an open-and-shut case of courtesy deletion, or at least of courtesy editing — but the unhinged wall-of-text all-lowercase rants with high-and-mighty name-dropping legal threats peppered with copious misconceptions about Wikimedia Commons and irrelevant considerations about the life and personality of assorted editors — well, my sympathy is mostly vanished. I will however chime in at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Guard fitness program shows results 140523-Z-ZZ999-011.jpg. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 12:20, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, but I’m sure there’s no need for me to contact legal@wikimedia.org — I would suggest that any U.S. citizens or residents among us, targeted by this person, do so though: From where I stand, after all, army grunts attending yoga classes is as uncongruous as a patch of lush grass in the middle of the desert, but this person seems capable of doing more damage than just unginged rants should she catch one of us on her own turf (pardon the pun).
I wonder how the apparently envolved ambulance chaser persuaded her that her claim is at all legitimate: We know of hundreds of thousand photos of U.S. military released by the proper entities to public domain in irrevocable lincenses (*), fully identifying by name and rank all the depicted personnel and often showing scenes and situations way beyond the needs of military manuals or recruitment posters — don’t the enlisted get briefed on this practice?
* (And therefore free to be integrated in an image repository such as ours — I wonder, has this photo made it to Getty, and will these tactics work well there?)

File:Coat of arms of Brazil.svg

Not withstanding the edit wars that occurred on the file way back on 2013-2014, the Brazilian official government recently released an extremely detailed update on the design of the Coat of Arms on its website . It's the result of an extensive study based on heraldic conventions and the text of the Law n. 5,700/71. The official design (with the minor correction of the colour of the banderole in the compartment to match the aforementioned law) can already be found on .svg format here and a full explanation of the changes can be found here and here.

Could an admin please temporarily unprotect the original file for it to be updated; redirect it to the new one; or maybe even move this outdated file to a new name and move the new file with the official design to the current name ("Coat of arms of Brazil")? Hookko27 (talk) 12:37, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Masahiro007 is a blocked/locked user with many company-related uploads starting from "Swift" (for example, Swift Xi, Swift Engineering), see Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Masahiro007 for details.

Block review: A1Cafel

Background

A1Cafel is a prolific editor here on Commons, with over 890,000 edits. He is also topic-banned from speedy deletions by the community (relevant discussions are the initial TBAN and the appeal limiting the TBAN to speedy deletion).

One recurring problem with A1Cafel is duplicate tagging pursuant to CSD F8: specifically, tagging other people's older files for deletion as duplicates of his newer files. This has been discussed multiple times, including here, here, and here. As A1Cafel is currently banned from tagging files for speedy deletion, he is also banned from tagging files as {{Duplicate}}s.

A1Cafel was previously blocked by me in January for two weeks for CheckUser-confirmed logged out editing in violation of his topic ban.

My block

I noticed that an IP tagged File:Geoffrey-Pyatt.jpg for deletion per CSD F8 as a duplicate of File:Amb. Geoffrey Pyatt portrait.jpg. As it was not an exact or scaled-down duplicate (but a crop), I declined the deletion request. I noticed that A1Cafel had uploaded the image the day before. This is, in my opinion, obviously A1Cafel. Looking at the IP's range (Special:Contributions/219.78.0.0/16), I noticed that there were multiple other edits that appear to be A1Cafel, including untagging his own file for speedy deletion without attracting the scrutiny that doing so logged-in would provide. There may be others on another IP range.

Accordingly, I blocked A1Cafel. I determined a block of one month was appropriate, given that the previous block for this was two weeks.

Request for review

I reached out to an checkuser for their opinion, and if a check was warranted. I had blocked already by the time they replied. They declined to run a check because they felt it was obvious, but (not realizing I had already blocked) expressed hesitation about a block (I invited them to share their concerns in their own words here). Although I did not think that this block would be controversial at the time I imposed it, I think it is now: another admin disagrees as to whether it should be imposed. So, per the blocking policy, I am bringing my actions here for review.

Sorry for all of that text. Please provide your thoughts/feedback/criticism below. Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

    @Trade That message was because the range I blocked was very wide (the widest that can be blocked, actually), and banning account creation from those 65,024 IPv4 addresses would likely cause excessive collateral damage. A1Cafel, despite his block evasion, does not seem to have created sockpuppet accounts, so I felt that the block settings were appropriate. That said, I agree about the reason, which I just changed to "Ban evasion coming from this range of IP addresses. If you are not evading a ban, please create an account to edit."

Another sock in the drawer: BedrockPerson

Greetings, I have reason to believe that Emolu (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  is the subsequent account in a long series, the most recent being Zhomron (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  and the putative original gangsta, BedrockPerson (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) .

BedrockPerson works in a very narrow topic area of ancient Near East linguistics and archaeology, including Hebrew/Jewish words, monarchs, excavations and inscriptions, but also Babylonian, Phoenician, Canaanite: you name someone with a script and a god, he's on it.

Zhomron was blocked around 7 December 2022, whilst Emolu came on the scene on 11 February, slightly more than 60 days having elapsed.

Emolu is currently blocked on enwiktionary for sock puppetry and block evasion. This is SOP for BP to be on the Wiktionaries as well, and currently prolific showing his hand on enwiki as the watchlist scrolls. Elizium23 (talk) 19:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Emolu's single file upload has been deleted as a copyvio. That is, 100% of uploads were copyvios claimed as "Own Work". Editor wants me off his talk page, and I have no problem complying with this.

I genuinely cant follow his line of reasoning Trade (talk) 05:32, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
It seems fairly standard Commons behaviour for a non-fluent English speaker who isn't reading their warnings or their Wikipedia's upload forms. (Does ru.wikipedia.org even have a fair use policy?) They think an image being "free" online means that it's kind of public domain, and they can see that Wikipedia has album covers on some articles, so don't understand why they're getting pushback from Commons when they click the wrong buttons and lie about being the copyright holder who's releasing it as CC-Attribution.

Hackathon group photo vandalism

Hi, File:At Wikimedia Hackathon Athens (MP) 2023 001 (cropped).jpg and File:At Wikimedia Hackathon Athens (MP) 2023 001.jpg are used on highly visible pages, and seem to be attracting an increased level of vandalism.

Luispaeez I warned this user with {{File copyright status}} but they ignored it completely so this morning Túrelio made a final warning with {{End of copyvios}} which they also blatantly ignored by uploading two files without any license at all.

Seniorjackfr copyvios, not understanding requirements

User continuously uploading files from the internet without evidence of Commons-compatible license or permission. Does not seem to understand Commons:Licensing policy even after being told about it. Please block until they can learn better.

Context: Some of their uploads have already been deleted (see their talk page) and I nominated a large number of them for deletion here on 23 September. On 23 September I also directly explained to them on the English Wikipedia the problem with their image uploads and licensing (see here), to which they responded by claiming that "all of the images i've added to the wikipedia pages are 100% copyright free, most of them are 500+ years old". (A quick look at their uploads makes it obvious that this is false, even nonsensical.) Since then, they've continued to upload files that are non-free and/or have no evidence of permission (e.g. File:Oryx's Timgad.png, already tagged). On 27 September they received a notice about their new uploads being yet again up for deletion due to lack of licensing information ([36]). After this, they continued to upload non-free works, including File:NARC's Logo.jpg and File:NARC's flag.png (both images of a logo from this company), and another upload with vague attribution (File:Algerian airmen during the yom kippur war.jpg).

In dubio pro reo

  • Taivo + Yann + Elcobbola
  • Reason for reporting: Both users blocked me [38] because of File:Rio pangue.png adducing its license is quite vague about commercial use, but even if we accept it as permission for commercial use, nothing is still said about derivative works. So the block is correct. I agree that the license is vague for some people, but it is their INTERPRETATION of the license. I once again emphasize INTERPRETATION. The license doesn't says that it is forbidden the use nor that it is prohibited for commerce with the image. My first laguage is Spanish and the license says for me clearly "download it, copy it, use it, change it, derivate it, sell it, delete it, download it again and again and enjoy it". The same question is said in https://www.memoriachilena.cl/602/w3-article-53557.html . The license is :"Este documento pertenece al patrimonio cultural común, por lo que puede ser utilizado y reproducido libremente." It doesn't say "creative commons", nor "commercial use allowed", nor "public domain" etc, but in my interpretation it says that same as the File:Rio pangue.png: enjoy it!. We can have a long discussion about the right interpretation of the license. For that cases the old Romans had the principle:  : That means if you can't probe the delict, you have to free the defendant.

Hydrosheds.org

Jeff_G. aduced that: This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: "non-commercial use only" per https://www.hydrosheds.org/terms-of-use

That is false. Indeed the page states "non-commercial use only" in the paragraph "Copyright and Limited License", but in the anterior paragraph "Data Licenses" they says that:

All data products come with specific license terms, specified on the product pages and technical documentation. By downloading any HydroSHEDS data product, the user agrees to abide by the terms of the license of that product.

The product that I downloaded is https://www.hydrosheds.org/products/hydrobasins and the paragraph "License" declares that:

The HydroBASINS database is freely available for scientific, educational and commercial use. The data are distributed under the same license agreement as the HydroSHEDS core products, which is included in the HydroSHEDS Technical Documentation. For all regulations regarding license grants, copyright, redistribution restrictions, required attributions, disclaimer of warranty, indemnification, liability, and waiver of damages, please refer to the license agreement.

@Jeff G.: Dude, with all due respect, how about chilling out and responding in good faith to a good faith WMF editor who uploads images from time to time and occasionally helps out when noticing images that probably should be deleted. Note that you have posted on my talk page about some images I didn't upload e.g., File:Aboriginal art.jpg, File:FileːIndigenousFramework.jpg etc. You're trying to do the right thing (thank-you). I'm trying to do this right thing. Let's cooperate . Someone could feel harassed by this sort of behaviour. Happy to discuss if you have outstanding concerns. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk 07:21, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
@Jtneill: I was chilled out when I noticed this edit and wrote to you about it 21:50, 12 November 2021 (UTC). I was not so chilled out when I noticed this second edit and updated what I wrote a week later, 22:07, 19 November 2021 (UTC), and then I noticed this third edit and warned you, 11:03, 3 October 2022 (UTC). The edit of yours on 04:38, 18 October 2023 (UTC) which I wrote about above later that day was your fourth offending edit. How many chances should I have given you? For years, I have been railing against incomplete deletion requests, which are caused by malformed use of {{Delete}} templates and lack of follow-through, and which are populating subcats of Category:Incomplete deletion requests. This problem spurred the creation of that category 17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC), over 16 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over two years ago.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:01, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Wow. A few innocent technical mistakes from a long-term good faith WMF editor gets you riled? I am trying to contribute, engage, and learn. You are welcome to join this journey. You have some know-how about how Commons works. Fantastic. Perhaps try sharing that knowledge with a little grace and maybe it will elicit some more cooperative responses and happier results.

Hope this is the right spot... I found some more Flickr accounts which engage in license laundering. These Flickr accounts mass re-upload photos from The Canadian Press, Reuters, Government of Canada, and other sources. These are copyrighted photos that are falsely released under a Public Domain license. The file EXIF data is hidden on Flickr, but once downloaded you can clearly see all EXIF that shows the correct photographers / rights holders.

I feel like I'd want a bit more confidence before blocking someone on the basis that they're blocked for "possible block evasion". @A1Cafel: I'd suggest you open up a request for checkuser that explains your case for why the two accounts are socks for one another, and gives evidence that the use of multiple accounts in the way that they did actually violates Commons' relevant policy. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 05:07, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
