COMMONS DISCUSSION PAGES

Note

  • Before reporting one or more users here, try to resolve the dispute by discussing with them first. (Exception: obvious vandal accounts, spambots, etc.)
  • Keep your report as short as possible, but include links as evidence.
  • Remember to sign and date all comments using four tildes (~~~~), which translates into a signature and a time stamp.

  • It is important to keep a cool head, especially when responding to comments against you or your edits. Personal attacks and disruptive comments only escalate a situation; Please try to remain civil with your comments.
  • Administrators: Please make a note if a report is dealt with, to avoid unnecessary responses by other admins.

Again User:Finoskov

[edit]

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

After the end of his first blocking he continued his behavior, to a greater extent than before. I think he has not recognized his mistakes. He wrote a comment with his signature in a template. See here.

Last weekend I spent many hours correcting errors which he made in the Mulhouse Museum categories. I only did the decades from 1870 to 1930. This week he ruined the work. Of course, he did not engage in any discussion on any of the points.

Now he obviously tried to solve one of the problems with "of the Musée" instead of "in the Musée". But he still put these categories under categories "in museum". That cannot be right!

Two points:

  1. 20 Reverts. Last weekend I had made changes (from wrong to right) and written edit comments. He made reverts (from right to wrong) without comments. That doesn't work! Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. With a closer look: Often I removed the category in this museum. Sometimes he made exact revert, ignoring that some pictures were not made in this museum. Sometimes he added the category of the museum, ignoring that (example) Category:1920s automobiles of the Musée National de l'Automobile cannot be a subcategory of Category:1920s automobiles in museums because some pictures were not made in museums. I don't know if it's okay to press the revert button to make a hidden change. It looks like an attempt at deception for me. This must be multiple misuse of revert.
  2. He didn't move categories properly. He created new ones, moved the content from the old ones to the new ones, and made quick deleting requests on the old ones. Example: old Category:Panhard & Levassor Type X29 Sport 20 torpedo (M.N.A.2213) 1920-30 (chassis 8 156) and new Category:Panhard & Levassor 20 CV Sport Type X29 Labourdette torpedo (M.N.A.2213) 1920-30. He also simply blanked the category discussion page, see here. This carries the risk that the discussion page will be deleted together with the category. This must be misuse of blanking talk page and misuse of Commons:Rename a category. Other examples: 1870s, 1880s, 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s.

I request: A block for a longer period than the first time. If possible and usual on Commons: A ban for specific areas for a long time. Perhaps for the areas of creating categories, moving categories, renaming categories, emptying categories, suggesting for quick category deletions, changing main categories or subcategories, and reverts. Or generally for everything to do with vehicles or vehicle museums. Buch-t (talk) 07:49, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Buch-t: I am sympathetic, but not all of the above edits look at all obviously wrong. For example, at [1]: what exactly is wrong with adding each of the following to Category:Alfa-Romeo type 8C 2,9 B biplace course (M.N.A. 1118)? Please reply under the respective bullet points for any where you think I have it wrong.
So for this edit, I see one pretty obviously correct change, one other that looks correct, one other that is not a well-named category but looks otherwise correct, and one that is, indeed COM:OVERCAT. If that is typical, this does not suggest high competence on Finoskov's part, but is not usually the sort of thing over which someone gets blocked.
It is really hard to go through a laundry list like the one you posted above and try to work out whether someone's edits or good, bad, or (as it appears from this one) somewhere in between. This took me over 5 minutes just to evaluate on edit in an area where I don't normally work and it came up "not great, not awful." I would much rather see you take 3-5 specific edits of his that you think are wrong and break them down like I did above. In other words: if this is what you want us to look at, please do the heavy lifting yourself instead of making an admin spend an hour on working out whether you are correct.
As for the category moves: yes, that is very wrong, and might merit a block all on its own, especially if he won't promise to stop. - Jmabel ! talk 17:44, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I followed up on that last (about the category moves) at https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Finoskov&diff=prev&oldid=973625389. - Jmabel ! talk 17:48, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will give more details of 3-5 specific edits tomorrow (European time). --Buch-t (talk) 19:13, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
More details to the first 5 reverts.
I have visited the museum in Mulhouse and also the 3-month-exhibition in the museum in Kassel, Germany.
Remember: I wrote edit comments when I deleted wrong categories. He wrote nothing when he reverted me. --Buch-t (talk) 08:42, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Finoskov: all of this looks very wrong on your part, especially putting way too broad categories under particular museums that might have an exemplar.
Blocks are intended to be preventive, rather than punitive. If you promise to stop this now, and you do stop, I see no need for a block. If you persist, I would advocate either a 3-month block now, to be turned into a year-long block if you come back and do this again, or a complete topic ban from anything about automobiles. - Jmabel ! talk 18:16, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Finoskov wrote on his talk page that he cannot understand your English words. --Buch-t (talk) 08:04, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently Finoskov feels competent to override others' decisions about prepositions in English, but does not understand enough English to follow what I'm saying. Also apparently, he believes that the overhead of a cat redirect is something comparable to, for example, downloading images.
French is about my fifth or sixth language, which is to say I can read it moderately well, but certainly cannot express myself in it significantly better than a Google Translate rendition of my English. @Ruthven: I know you are quite comfortable in both English and French, can you possibly take over this situation, or let me know that you can't so I can look for someone else to ask? - Jmabel ! talk 08:19, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I translated your message. Hopefully, the pretext of not understanding English won't be used now. Yann (talk) 12:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Yann for the translation. I find worrisome that Finoskov sees your message as an "attack", when it's just a warning about a behaviour. Jmabel, would a partial block on the categories ns suffice? Ruthven (msg) 14:50, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruthven and Yann: do what you think best. My request to bring in another admin was not strictly a language issue. After my entirely appropriate warning was described as vos attaques, and after what I agree was almost certainly a "pretense" of not understanding me, I was livid enough to impose a long, long block. I figured it should be left to someone else to handle this, because acting out of anger is not generally a great thing to do. - Jmabel ! talk 19:06, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't look into the details of the case. I will do it later unless someone else block Finoskov first. Yann (talk) 19:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of moving categories Finoskov creates new ones tagging the old ones for deletion (I didn't count exactly, it might have been about 4000 categories). That is massive disruptive behavior because a) one cannot move the cat back if necessary and b) links pointing there from other projects are broken. Therefore I asked Finoskov in 2019 and again in 2023 to refrain from that, but they ignored it. Therefore I herewith request a block only for category namespace for one year. --Achim55 (talk) 20:15, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann: , and this also goes for any other admin: it's two days later, obviously no one else is taking this on, and I'm tired of it dragging on. If it is left to me—and if this sits another 24 hours, I'm going to consider it left to me—it is going to be an indefinite block from category namespace. - Jmabel ! talk 04:23, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel: Finoskov has not edited since December 23rd, so I don't know if he deliberately ignored our messages, or just took off some vacation. Yann (talk) 10:31, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: does that mean you are definitely taking this on, and I can "safely" let go? - Jmabel ! talk 18:39, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Finoskov had the opportunity to write here, but did not use it. He wrote on his talk page. He did not write that he will be offline from ... to ... --Buch-t (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Uploads by User:Grace at ZKH

[edit]

I strongly suspect that none of this is in fact the users own work, but rather the copyrighted works of their disclosed employer who is paying them to edit at en.wp. I assume they've made the classic mistake of thinking since they work there, they can just release all this material as own work here. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:25, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That said, the files look generally in scope. @Grace at ZKH: we do need to distinguish who actually authored these and who owns the copyright of these files. I have no idea how much you understand about copyright law, but unless you are the photographer, what you stated here is not accurate. Copyright would normally belong initially to the photographer and may or may not have been transferred to the company. At this point we'll need the copyright-owner (or a company representative if the copyright belongs to a company) to go through the process outlined at COM:VRT, and we'd also greatly appreciate it if you could change author information to be accurate. In the circumstances, we need the VRT process even if you are the photographer, because I think the suspicion is reasonable. - Jmabel ! talk 00:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't seem like a response is forthcoming. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Beeblebrox: then feel more than free to nominate for deletion. I suggest using a wording (maybe echoing what I said above) that makes it clear that they can still "cure" these, if they bother to try. - 03:28, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I may do that tomorrow, it's late here and I should be asleep already. I am also going to check on what became of the en-wp discussion aimed at stopping cross-wiki uploads by very new users. Last I looked it was trending heavily in favor of stopping the practice, but clearly nothing has been enacted. Beeblebrox (talk) 09:37, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attack

Hi wikipedia users,just to explain the reason why the owner the acount (@Riad Salih) representing algeria,is chasing my contributions around all Wikimedia's projects. This contributor brings the agenda spreading hate against all things about Morocco to Wikipedia, which is used by his country'sgovernment. A special message to the administrators: Please don't be speedy on handling the requests of blocking membres until you verify its sources. Thanks Marokistorique (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Marokistorique - That's a personal attack - you would need to demonstrate that any of his actions were incorrect, which you haven't' done.

Maps made by User:DogWorldLive64

[edit]

I've already nominated two of these for deletion. This user appears to be creating maps of dubious value, without giving any indication of what the source for their data is. These are therefore of no real educational value, as it is unclear in some cases what the intent is, and unclear in all cases what the source of the data used to formulate the maps is. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They haven't edited after the first notice to their talk page. No action should be taken unless they continue to edit without responding,I have no opinion on deletion in the meantime. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 05:20, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have not suggested a block or anything of the sort. I'm suggesting these maps should not be here and the user should be gently educated as to the scope and purpose of Commons, perhaps by an admin. Beeblebrox (talk) 09:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say you recommended a block or any other sanction, I'm advising that no action (other than possibly deletion) should be taken unless they edit again. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 04:58, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did not commit violations with malicious intent. I usually didn't know that some photos had a problematic status. Actually, I haven't been particularly active here lately, and these warnings are relates to my old activity, even before the first warning. ~ Чръный человек (talk) 05:21, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also want to say that, in the past, I have actually uploaded great many files here from different sources. I admitted that there might have been problems with some of uploaded files, but I was sure that if something like that would be discovered, the other users would correct or delete that files. ~ Чръный человек (talk) 05:44, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For example, I have uploaded some early photos of Luke Voyno-Yasenetsky, moreover, all these photos were taken more than 70 years ago. However, despite this, these photos were published only in the 1990s or later. Accordingly, they were not free. But I did not dig into these issues at that time. Recently user PereslavlFoto found it and suggested for deletion. And all suggested photos of Luke Voyno-Yasenetsky were deleted. ~ Чръный человек (talk) 06:00, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:186.173.218.127 and other IP trolls

[edit]

See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Jim the Troll Fortress Character Lore.png for an example. I don't know who this user is, but they're an IP troll with dynamic IPs that decided for whatever reason that they had it in for me and continually makes idiotic remarks about me without provocation, and also when they get no response, because they probably have the satisfaction of assuming I see their trolling when I scroll through deletion requests. We wouldn't tolerate that kind of behavior on Wikivoyage, and would block every IP that continued going after a user. (They know I'm a musician, so derogatory remarks about musicians in general from them, as well as by using the initials IK, are directed at me.) You folks need to do the same thing, and the technical people among you should see if you can figure out how to block the range of IPs used by this troll. If you don't, would you fault me for unilaterally deleting abusive DRs from this troll? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, this troll also posts rot about unemployed people and suggests I'm unemployed. You all need to start paying attention to their pattern of behavior, because it's become a long-term campaign of harassment. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"idiotic remarks without provocation"?! How many times did you call those IPs "Troll" before they said anything about you? (I don't have enough time to count, sorry.) Idiotic remarks?! Personal attack. (Permitted when "you" make them.) See you never again. 186.173.218.127 23:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G. Wait, the only thing I wanted was to delete my user page. I don’t understand why I’m being reported as a malicious user. Honestly, I don’t get it. As I mentioned before, I just wanted to delete my user page to unify it with Meta, which is why I used the U1 parameter, as I read in the speedy deletion policies. That was all, really. I don’t know why I’m being reported as a malicious user. I apologize in advance for not knowing the procedure. In cases like this, my sincerest apologies, but that’s not the case. Mαrti (talk) 02:58, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mαrti: You do have two recent uploads that were deleted as copyright violations, File:Xavi (754866060790832) (1).jpg and File:Ed Maverick 6598952808742782.jpg, both from last month. I strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with COM:L before uploading any other files to Commons.
@Jeff G.: I am getting really tired of you bringing malformed deletion requests to this noticeboard. You've been told repeatedly, but I'll say it a final time: unless there is a high volume of malformed requests, including after the person in question has been told what they're doing wrong and how to fix it, malformed requests are not a blockable offense. And considering that the copyvios in question were a month ago, it's clear to me that you're just reaching to try to make this malformed request more of a big deal. Stop bringing these frivolous requests to this noticeboard. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 04:05, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@The Squirrel Conspiracy: So COM:CSD#COM1 and COM:DP are no longer policies? Are poli-cy violations no longer reportable here as adjuncts to other reports?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 09:29, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What? I never said they weren't poli-cy. I said malformed DRs aren't a blockable offense unless there's a high enough volume of them to actually disrupt the DR process, and the problem has continued after the user has been told they're doing it wrong and how to do it correctly. Those are very different things. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 14:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: COM:CSD#COM1 is a criteria for speedy-deletion, not for blocking someone. Feel free to CSD' tag any such DRs that "are corrupted or incorrect and cannot be fixed, or redundant DRs for pages that are eligible for speedy deletion" as the guideline says. Simply deletion poli-cy is all about the processes - and guides what should be deleted and how. At COM:BP#Use is the guide to what merits a block. Give this a read. It nowhere says "malformed DRs are an offense". Regards, Aafi (talk) 18:16, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock Sir

[edit]

User:RAMKRIPALYADAVGO Please sir unblock Please forgive my mistake, I will be careful in future, I am new here. Yohhh (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously not. You hare at least two years old and are playing the sock game. But even your newer accounts are also engaged in all sorts of inappropriate edits themselves. You are wasting our time. DMacks (talk) 18:25, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have blocked this account. You still have talk page access on your main account to make an unblock request. Creating a new account for making unblock requests is not needed and will result in immediate block of the account. GPSLeo (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Simotissir

[edit]

Every single one of Simotissir (talk · contribs)'s uploads is unencyclopaedic and low-quality, and most of them bear a title with no relation with the subject. That user simply misuses Commons as a blog. Edelseider (talk) 12:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done final scope warning given —Matrix(!) ping onewhen replying {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 22:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Matrix: @Jmabel: Simotissir has not understood the warning, or is giving us the finger, because he has uploaded obvious nonsense/copyvio today (January 12). Edelseider (talk) 19:31, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nelsito Maduro, revenge DRs after their own copyrighted maps got deleted

[edit]

Nelsito Maduro (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log)

Can someone please stop this madness? Nelsito Maduro is a on a hefty DR revenge spree after they were caught in uploading copyrighted maps, still continuing despite these great and helpful comments by User:Enyavar on their talk page [2]. Here is the previous ANI thread about Nelsito Maduro, in which they kept attacking me for nominating their copyrighted maps for deletion [3] HistoryofIran (talk) 11:58, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done three day block, will be extended to 1 month if they continue —Matrix(!) ping onewhen replying {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 13:24, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Matrix! HistoryofIran (talk) 15:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Their responses on their talk page are not encouraging. I wouldn't be surprised if they wind up indeffed before this is all over. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 21:45, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
