Unprotect and Deletion Request

I requested the speedy deletion of File:The Aeneid of Virgil JOHN CONINGTON 1917.pdf because I realized that Haithi Trust marked it in a way that contains personal information about myself, such as my university. However, Taivo removed the request and protected the file. Therefore, I'm posting here to ask that the protection be removed and the file deleted. Languageseeker (talk) 13:01, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Where is the personal information? Do you mean Hathi Trust? Pinging @Taivo as Admin.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 02:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: If you look at the bottom left margin, you will see light grey text that contains my University, the exact time when the file was downloaded, and other such information. Languageseeker (talk) 02:32, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Your university and the date/time downloaded are not personally identifiable information, unless your university has been suddenly transported to the world described in Aldous Huxley's 1984. What you did in downloading and uploading was perfectly legal. What you did in edit warring was against Commons rules, please stop it. Edit warring with Admins is detrimental to your account's health. You have been warned.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 02:43, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't want individuals to know where I go to university. That is personal information that I do not wish to disclose. If you refuse to delete it under that criteria, then, can I have it deleted under G7. Author or uploader request deletion? Languageseeker (talk) 02:47, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: No, sorry, it's too late for that. If you didn't want people to know you go to that university, you shouldn't have matriculated. That information will follow you for the rest of your life, and it should be a good thing. Now, go look up en:Streisand effect.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 02:55, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I don't want people to know that information on this site. I added the sdelete request less than 7 days after uploading it. What makes it too late? I want to delete the file so that I can upload the images without the watermarks onto Commons and then submit a request to move the pages on Wikisource. I find it extremely problematic that I cannot request to delete the very content that I uploaded when I discover that it contains a watermark. Languageseeker (talk) 03:00, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Do you have the technical capability to remove that watermark from each page? I don't.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: The watermark is not present when accessing the raw images. It's only when you use the Haithi Trust "whole book download" that Haithi Trust watermarks the pages when building the PDF. As you can see from my upload history, I've added other images from Haithi Trust that bear no watermark and have created indexes on Wikisource from them. See, [1] as an example. Languageseeker (talk) 03:12, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Do you have the technical capability of building the PDF from the raw images? I don't. If you continue to insist on misrepresenting it as the Haithi Trust, I will disengage.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:20, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Yes, I can create a PDF from the images. What about my using of Haithi Trust makes you wish to disengage? I'm not trying to offend you at all, but to resolve this situation in a civil manner. Languageseeker (talk) 03:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Please check your spelling against https://www.hathitrust.org/about, see en:WP:THREAD, and put back my smileys.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:31, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Sorry about my the smiles, they should be back now. I used a search-and-replace and the charset was set to Ansi. I also apologize about the typos. Can we resolve this issue and remove the PDF? Languageseeker (talk) 03:35, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker: Thanks for the smilies. I can't remove the file, but I can remark that you uploaded 05:41, 8 March 2021‎ (UTC), and your speedy delete tag in this edit 06:16, 8 March 2021 (UTC), just 35 minutes later did not mention COM:CSD#G7. Another Admin may overlook that technical deficiency. Good night.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:45, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

 Done. Now new version is uploaded and I deleted the old version. Taivo (talk) 13:13, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Languageseeker (talk) 13:51, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Copyvio uploads by Diclenehriiii3832

Diclenehriiii3832 uploaded ten files that appear to be all copyvio. If someone can tell me how I can tag multiple files by one uploader as copyvio, please ping me – it's just a bit to much to tag ten or more files manually. Eissink (talk) 20:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC).

@Eissink You can have a look at the gadget - Help:VisualFileChange.js. Then you can open user's contribution and on the left side you will see "Perform batch task". Here I would prefer to see user being warned first before blocking or doing something. rubin16 (talk) 08:33, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

  @GreenMeansGo: Thanks, but Diclenehriiii3832 is unblocked.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:30, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

  Well...I had briefly entertained the possibility that this may have been one of our beloved LTAs who picked up the matter from here and decided to run with it, and I paused to see if they would log back in after the IP was blocked. Though I admit I didn't do a geolocation at the time, and given an Albanian IP following around a user from tr.wiki, that's probably an unlikely theory. After two days without any action, we may just be able to call it stale at this point. But I've watchlisted their talk page and will check back in on them. Of course, nothing to preclude someone from disagreeing and blocking anyway. GMG^talk 11:19, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Kj1595 committing copyvio

Kj1595 had committed copyvios three times. This ain't the first time he comitted copyvios, he comitted them back in 2017. This year, he comitted this again for a 2nd time and 3rd time. No one ever reported his files that were uploaded ever since he uploaded them. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 08:50, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

This is the second time the user SpinnerLaserzthe2nd or his proxy account has mentioned me in this page. And once again, for the second straight time it's revengeful posting for the olympic flags I had rightfully nominated for deletion. Is revenge posting allowed in Commons now? The first batch of logos that he claims I violated the copyright of have long been transferred to the local Wiki. All logos are MY WORK in the sense that I created them in vector form. I didn't just copy any images found online and uploaded them here without permission. That is all MY WORK. For the second batch of images, which again are also MY WORK they were mistakenly uploaded here because it is hard to come up with a copyright tag so likewise they will also be transferred to the local Wiki. Kj1595 (talk) 09:05, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Me and Glorious 93 had noticed that you had uploaded copyrighted logos. One more thing, I made the SpinnerLaserzthe2nd account is because I lost access to my previous accounts. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd (talk) 09:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

He must be a buddy of yours. The "copyrighted" logos which were all MY OWN vector creations, were uploaded years ago. I wasn't as acquainted with copyright tagging back then as I am now. And besides, those are all soccer logos or university logos. So basically, public organizations. You are making it seem like I stole someone's personal drawings and uploaded them here as my own. Kj1595 (talk) 09:18, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

@Kj1595: Taking the copyrighted logos of soccer or university organizations and uploading vector versions of them here as your own work is not allowed here, see COM:DW and COM:L. Also, hiding the many notifications of copyright violations on your user talk page is suspicious behavior.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 13:01, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I understand that now. It took me some time to understand copyright tagging and how strict Commons can get with uploading files. Files were uploaded with the best of intentions. I am very careful when I upload files here. It's always my own personal photos, graphic work, medals, other copyright exempt images and old photographs whose copyright has expired.

Stanisława Walasiewicz na fotografii portretowej.jpg

File is protected as today it is featured on Polish main page today. However since it's uploading here in 2015 archive (NAC) released higher resolution image (https://www.szukajwarchiwach.gov.pl/jednostka/-/jednostka/5919623/obiekty/278884) – 3500 px high instead of 1044 - that has no watermark on it . Moreover I noticed (by the pins and badges on woman's jacket) that photo is a mirror image. All I wanted to do was to download new file from NAC, using MS Paint cut off bottom description bar, flip horizontally, and overwrite file at Commons. If you don't want to take protection off and wait for me, you can do it by yourselves. Thanks in advance. Aʀvєδuι ⁺ 23:56, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

• Səlmanöğlu (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user

Yet another vandalism-only account attacking the same topics, likely User:Matreeks or User:Tarik289 who played with the same files and recently got blocked on Commons, or Mahammad tt, a proven sockpuppet on Persian Wikipedia who recently got warned by administrators. There's also a possibility that four accounts are only 1 or 2 persons.

Modus operandi:

• disruption of various realistic files, descriptions and categories, uploading fantasy material in purpose of promoting pan-Turkist ideology.
• engaging in reverts or edits wars with normal users who are trying to cancel their disruptions.
• after block or warning, opening new accounts and repeating the same process again and again.

Parallel to it, today Səlmanöğlu tried to promote his fantasy map on some 20-30 Wiki projects, and got reverted in 100% cases. --Orijentolog (talk) 16:05, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

(Maybe the admins are disturbed of the anti-Turkish tone of some claims and that is why they keep away... :) I think this is not a place to judge ideologies, and less a forum. If you have a case with any map, discuss it at its talk page or at a DR, if you think there is malicious sock puppetry open a sock puppetry investigation. If you have a problem with Turks open a war against us.

Abuse of multiple accounts (search "Radhesh Aria" on Commons); abuse of sockpuppets on en.wiki and here at Commons is uploading a bunch of personal photos, personal logos, photoshopped magazine covers and other poor quality photoshopped material with his face on things. I tagged some of these images as F10 but not sure if that's the right tag, or if there's a different one I should be using. Other users I've found include:

• Special:Contributions/Ariamanagment

Labels all maps that are not in line with the goals of Panturkism and uploads fake maps of Azerbaijan. He has recently created fake maps of the Azerbaijani regions of Iran. In South Azerbaijan wiki azb is his main activity.

Hello. Please close this user and all related accounts Globally. All of the following accounts, which are closed locally and globally, belong to him. In addition, some of them in different languages probably do not make good sense. In all wikis, in addition to sabotaging articles, he insults different users of different ethnicities. He is of Turkish ethnicity. He has created countless accounts in Azerbaijani and Turkish articles and has insulted users of Armenian, Kurdish, Persian and Arab ethnicity on various wikis. Many users left Wikipedia forever with insults and threats made by him.

Abuse of multiple accounts of Yamakusa09 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user who was indefinitely blocked on 15 December 2020 for repeated copyvios.[6]

The Twitter account @jkh89724128 introduces himself as "Wikipedian Yamakusa09".[7]

• SHIZUOKACITYperson (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
  @jkh89724128 (Yamakusa09) asked a Japanese photographer for the permission to transfer his/her photo to Commons.[8] saying he is a sysop of Wikipedia (Of course not). Later, SHIZUOKACITYperson uploaded the photo to Commons saying he had gotten the permision.
• 鍋焼きそば (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
  @jkh89724128 (Yamakusa09) asked a Japanese photographer for the permission to transfer his/her photo to Commons.[9] Later, 鍋焼きそば uploaded the photo to Commons. See also: Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by 鍋焼きそば

Yamakusa09, SHIZUOKACITYperson, and 鍋焼きそば uploaded only pictures about Shizuoka prefecture in Japan. --毒島みるく (talk) 23:10, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

I was certainly asked by Yamakusa09 to post an image on SNS. However, I mintended to confirm that the image had the permission of the copyright holder before posting it. If this is decided a fraudulent account, i follow the referee.SHIZUOKACITYperson (talk) 03:19, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

@毒島みるく: It is true that the copyright acceptance agency is done by my friend Yamakusa09 on SNS, but I think that he and I are different people and do not violate the terms. I will prove that I am different from him, so please tell me how to do it. The reason why all the photos are in Shizuoka prefecture is that, like Mr. SHIZUOKACITYperson, the mediator with the copyright holder is Mr. Yamakusa09, and all of them are citizens of Shizuoka prefecture. --鍋焼きそば (talk) 17:11, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

SHIZUOKACITYperson said, "At Twitter, @jkh89724128 (Yamakusa09) asked me to upload files in behalf of him, and I accepted." (私はTwitter上で @jkh89724128 氏より掲載代行依頼を受けていました)[10] This would be a meatpuppetry that helps evasion of the block of Yamakusa09. --毒島みるく (talk) 22:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

If you are talking about File:Ülkü Tamer.jpg, It's your fault. Because you don't know Turkish, it doesn't mean it is a problematic upload. It is your fault. Not mine. If you would send a Turkish admin, you would see that it is legit. I'm bored of all this diplomacy. It really kills the spirit to contrribute. --Henrymorgan92 (talk) 10:40, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

@Henrymorgan92: Sorry, I didn't delete it and I can't bring it back. However, proof of permission for any file which is already online without such proof belongs in OTRS, not on a file description page.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:25, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

• @Henrymorgan92: If this is the permission you are referring to, it wholly incompatible with Commons licensing policy and, therefore, insufficient:

  In Turkish:
  

  — fotoğraf size aitse izninizle kaynak göstererek vikipedi'de kullanabilir miyim?
  — tabii ki.
  — teşekkürler.

  Translation to English
  

  — if the photo belongs to you, can I use it on Wikipedia with your permission?
  — of course
  — thank you.

  For the possibility of undeletion, the copyright holder (i.e. the photographer, unless the copyright was transferred by operation of law or by written and signed conveyance) must send permission and a specific release under an accepted free licence using OTRS. Please note that OTRS is not able to accept forwarded statements or proxy permissions for legal reasons. Once OTRS has determined to have receive sufficient permission and there is no other valid rationale for deletion, an OTRS agent will perform or request undeletion.

User:氏子

I accidentally found that 氏子 (talk · contribs) may be a suspected sockpuppet of blocked 寺人孟子 (talk · contribs). Because the first photo of 氏子 is taken with the same camera and at the same place as the last photo of 寺人孟子 before being blocked, and the time between the 2 photos taken is only 10 minutes, so I think these 2 photos are taken by the same person. Also, 氏子 is created just 2 days after 寺人孟子 was blocked.--そらみみ (talk) 14:10, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

If that user and 寺人孟子 are really the same person, he doing the same things as 寺人孟子 did. I have the good fortune to find a large evidence of his violation of COM:OW, are exactly the same with what 寺人孟子 practised. However, I just randomly checked files from his upload log and report to COM:HMSR.--Kai3952 (talk) 22:30, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't care if 氏子 is sockpuppet or not. However, up to now, all the evidences shows that he has a habit of overwriting his existing files with new versions. Obviously, he often made mistakes in regards to COM:OW. It does not only not benefiting Commons but also increased our workload on COM:HMSR. I would like to know what the appropriate next step is? Or, what advice does the experienced admin have for the user of pursuing overwrite files?--Kai3952 (talk) 12:26, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Copyvios after final warning. --Yuraily Lic (talk) 17:18, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

I am sorry if violated any wikipedia copyright rules but that (File:Apollo Chennai.png) photo was take by my friend with his camera. If I made any mistake I am so sorry and I'll try not to. Peace -- Iambatman2022 (talk) 10:25, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

 blocked. @Iambatman2022 you should have checked COM:L before. You got warnings multiple times before. rubin16 (talk) 07:29, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, but I disagree with the block here. Iambatman2022 have acknowledged that they have violated our licensing policy, and have promised not to upload any copyvios again. The user haven't uploaded any copyright violations yet since they acknowledged their warnings here, according to their upload log. If they did, then block by all means. But since blocks are meant to be preventative (in which new copyvios are already prevented without blocking), not punitive, I'm not sure what this premature block is for. pandakekok9 08:09, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

I agree that blocks aren't punitive. But here we see that user was warned on April 16 with a bunch of filed deleted at the same time.Then he made new uploads on April 26-28, warned again and even proposed to be processed on AN with no action. The last upload was on May 7 with new record on AN (here). Then user appeared and said he was sorry, but still didn't understand what was the problem. He says that photo was taken by his friend but you can't just upload others' work here. So, despite being sorry, the user continues to upload files without paying attention to the licensing rules and acknowledging the substance of his mistake, that's why I used block as a prevention for new uploads, and the block time could be used to better review COM:L. But I am free to have my decision reviewed by any other sysop. rubin16 (talk) 08:20, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

I agree with rubin16. --Yuraily Lic (talk) 10:33, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

I gently answer him in the report section he started about me, only for him to respond saying I'm not interested in what you have to say.[13] Please do something with him as this is not the first time.[14] Thank you. --Flaspec (talk) 18:12, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

There is no such thing as going too far. When you start the accusations, you better make sure you don't live in a glass house. You obviously don't like the fact that I supplied the links that prove that you used Commons to give another editor a lesson in cross-wiki POV pushing, before showing them how it's done, by uploading your POV map and adding it to 45 wikis in one go. M.Bitton (talk) 18:20, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

I was explaining to User:Eddakhla (after noticing she was a newcomer) that she shouldn't overwrite files and that she can upload new ones to use on wiki instead, which it is the right thing to do as per COM:OVERWRITE policy. I suggest you read WP:DNB and learn how to treat newcomers, especially women. --Flaspec (talk) 18:51, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

That's a lie and you know it. Anyway, I explained exactly what you said to them and if an admin asks, I will happily ping another admin from ar.wp to confirm it. M.Bitton (talk) 18:53, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Unblock my VPS?

Hi, I manage my photo collection on a Digital Ocean VPS at 167.99.104.227 (https://samwilson.id.au), but this IP is (auto)blocked as it is part of a "hosting service with open proxies such as 167.99.248.239" (from the block reason by @Vituzzu, 2018-05-12T20:05:54Z). Is it possible to get this one IP address unblocked so I can upload photos directly from this server? (It's easier for me to use a tool there that does things like copy over Depicts and categories where applicable.) No one other than me has access to the server. Thanks! — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 13:16, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

The IP range 0.0/16 is blocked until 2023. I did not want to unblock whole range. But if I tried to change local status of global block for IP 167.99.104.227, I was told, that the IP is not blocked, which is, of course, wrong. I do not know, what to do. Maybe you need unblock not permanently, but for shorter time, that case I can still unblock whole range. Maybe somebody other has ideas? Taivo (talk) 07:16, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

@Taivo: Hmm sounds tricky. Thanks for looking! Would it be possible to create two other blocks, for ranges either side of this one IP? Or is that just creating lots of extra work?

Semi-Protect Commons:Batch uploading/Name

It's not critical, but every once in a while this page seems to attract random vandalism or mistaken edits from IPs and new users. It's not a page that anyone should ever modify, anyway (it's the page you get if you submit a batch upload request without filling in a name first). Would it be appropriate to semi-protect it? – BMacZero (🗩) 04:33, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Protect my talkpage

I'm not an active Commons user, and my talkpage has never been used by any decent editor. Instead, a long-term abuser on en.wiki () is now periodically using my Commons talkpage to repeat the same nonsense that they're doing on en.wiki. Would it be possible to get my talkpage semi-protected? There's almost no scenario when a genuine new editor will need to contact me on Commons talkpage (and if they did, they could still contact me on en.wiki).

Template:Month by year in Bolzano

I am deeply shocked by the fact,

• that the template {{Month by year in Bolzano}} was redirected to {{Bolzanomonthyear}} and then protected against editing.
• that I was warned by admin Blackcat “to use default names”.

All this have been done the request of Threecharlie. Admin Blackcat refers to {{Month by year in Bolzano}}, a template I created 2021-06-12T09:25:35‎ based on {{Month by year in Sicily}}, invented 2019-02-05T15:44:16‎ by Olybrius (talk · contribs).

This was done to the best of my knowledge, as these templates have the advantage over {{Bolzanomonthyear}} that users have improved navigation options. They cannot only navigate within one year, but within a whole decade plus the preceding and next year. Have a look at the categories September 2019 in Lazio and September 2019 in Rome. After this dare tell him and me these are no improvements compared to “Place”monthyear templates.

{{Bolzanomonthyear}} is a “de facto standard”. However, according to our terms of use, it is expressly permitted to amend and improve existing solutions with improved ones. “de facto standards” are not set in stone and every user here has the right to introduce and disseminate improvements without being hindered or - even worse - being warned for doing so. In my eyes reverting and actively inhibiting improvements are an act of vandalism.

Thus I request

• to unprotect {{Month by year in Bolzano}},
• to protect {{Month by year in Sicily}} after I had to revert (2021-06-27T22:45:40) the vandalism done by Threecharlie
• to warn admin Blackcat not to misuse the rights of an administrator
• to warn Threecharlie after vandalising {{Month by year in Sicily}}.

Kind regards--Labintatlo (talk) 00:48, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

My dear Labintatlo, initially keep calm that calling a vandal who has different ideas from yours in wikipedia in Italian, where I am also admin, this is equivalent to a personal attack. You're right, nobody forbids making improvements, however common sense suggests that if there are already templates that perform that function, it will be necessary to improve those templates that yes, are "de facto standard" because creating new templates without coordinating with the community a problem, such as the use of two different templates within a single subject. On the fact that you claim that anyone can make improvements to the project, I can only agree but, hypothetically, if today I thought that I don't like that template and I want to introduce variations by creating a new template, and tomorrow, always for the same principle, a user arrives who makes another, then another, then again and so on, within a month we would find 30 different templates, all created with a different POV, with a number of users displaced by the not knowing whether to use one or the other. I don't think it's wrong to create a template and operate on it, collaboratively without creating new ones because the previous one doesn't satisfy me. If you have been working on it for a long time but without consulting anyone and asking if there were any alternatives (I don't know how it works in Commons but in wikipedia you get a consensus before operating) it is more your problem than a community problem. In conclusion, if you have the technical skills to introduce the improvements of your template in the old one it is fine by me, or introduce the ones you removed from the old one in the new one (the graphics were objectively minimalist) it is fine by me, introducing a new standard without informing no one, no, it is not acceptable, and here it is the community that should, I quote you, "deeply shocked by the fact".--Threecharlie (talk) 06:45, 28 June 2021 (UTC) PS: a me sta bene usare anche l'italiano come lingua di discussione.--Threecharlie (talk) 06:48, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

@Labintatlo: [italian] non facciamo i furbetti, eri stato avvertito [/italian]. The user went on doing things with no consensus, as pointed by @Threecharlie: , thus a warning was opportune. Now hopefully he will propose improvements to the existing template structure instead of inventing new ones. -- Blackcat 08:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Persistent socking by a globally locked cross-wiki ethnic vandal

Pv67 is the latest sock of Adhithya Kiran Chekavar, created on 11 August 2021 right after their global lock on 10 August 2021 by Jeff G., see Requests for checkuser/Case/Adhithya Kiran Chekavar. Account created just to open SPI on Outlander and other IPs, as part of the personal attack and harassment campaign they have been pulling lately. [40][41][42] This user is using SPI as a tool to block all the editors who reports their block evasions and copyright violations.--157.44.169.44 13:06, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

For additional reference for his recent harassment campaign, see [43][44][45], and closing admin comment at [46][47]. This is how desperate they wants to block Outlander and the IPs. Their 24 images were deleted for copyright violation after IP reported it, for the rest they were able to revert the CSD nominations before an admin can check into it, and others are still on DR. If previous socks are also counted, then the number of copyright violation doubles. There are casteist slur on their personal attacks which can be seen on all their sock edits and the most childish allegation they makes is that anyone who reports their activity belongs to Nair caste, without evidence.

This sock belongs to the Thiyyar caste (according to themself) and had once said that he's the secretary of Thiyyar Mahasabha. Wikiprojects are used only to promote his caste, not only that they have an aversion towards Nair caste and there were degrading edits at en.wiki. Cross-wiki vandalism is going on primarily at en.wiki, here, and in ml.wiki, but there are also occasional activity at other wikipojects too. There are also lots of cross-wiki logged-out editing. Beside an action on Pv67, I request a global range block for their IPs to disable more account creation, block evasion, and logged-out editing.--157.44.169.44 13:54, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Jeff G.: They use proxies. Even though, 27.61.0.0/18 can be locked globally, all cross-wiki IPs perfectly fits within that range. Others are different ranges. 117.xxx.xxx is the frequenter in Commons and en.wiki. 117.223.80.83 can be blocked in Commons for global lock evasion and harassment - [48][49] and 117.201.194.160 too for evasion. Previously blocked at en.wiki for the same "nair vandal" harassment [50]. So far, total 4 IPs in that series was here: 117.221.188.173, 117.221.191.171 (both cross-wiki too) and the above two. Another series is 59.xxx.xxx: 59.97.173.249 (cross-wiki too), 59.94.200.102, 59.98.102.12. There's one more 106.xxx.xxx at ml.wiki. All same ISP and region. Another globally lockable range is 117.221.176.0/20 (mostly en.wiki IPs and 2 in commons).--157.46.209.102 14:06, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Bypass the lock Бэсут Евгений. Duck test: it uploads the same files and even under the same names as Бэсут Евгений (see File:Да.jpg). It uses them in the Russian Wikipedia in the same articles and with the same comments (corrects other nationalities to en:Naimans). The files violate copyright and are uploaded under a false license (they need to be deleted). @Rubin16: вы обрабатывали предыдущую учётку, может, и эту хлопните вместе с файлами?

A continous blocking without reason of Artister for Miljon

Hi!

By some strange reason our entry of a new text aboout the Swedish NGO Artister for Miljon (Artists for the Environment) has been blocked by an unknown user. I am chairman of the board of the association and would like Wikipedia to open up the site about our association.The only picture added is our logotype which obviously is ours. I also would like to report the person who suggested this, for bad behaviour.

@4nn1l2 and Steinsplitter: Unlike {{protected}}, any changes to Template:Protected/text have to first be approved by translation administrators, before they’re visible on Template:Protected/text/en, so I feel like it doesn’t need to be template protected , in fact Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Protected/text reveals that there’s 0 actual transclusions of Template:Protected/text. — ExE Boss (talk) 11:20, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@4nn1l2: I request that the protection be downgraded to something that allows non‑template editors to make changes to Template:Protected/text, as those changes will need to be approved by a translation admin before they go live.

Arguably, other /i18n translation source pages should have their protection level downgraded as well for the same reason.

Flag of Taliban.svg protection

I would like to request that the protection on Flag_of_Taliban.svg be temporarily lifted so that I can upload a new version of the file, based on the flag raised by the Taliban at their press conference on August 17, as seen here. I am the original author of the current version (a very quick and dirty vectorization of a flag from FOTW), as well as an administrator on the English Wikipedia. The version I have is both of better quality and is based on the most official version of the flag that we have seen so far. Lexicon (talk) 04:30, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@Lexicon: Yesterday, I tried hard to let the file be edited by you, but I was defeated by a bot[51][52][53][54]. You were lucky that De728631 was online at the time of your second request. I asked the bot operator to add some functionality to their code, so that humans trump bots: User_talk:Krinkle#Stopping_the_bot. In the meanwhile, you are welcome to upload the file under a new name, and I will put the SVG code in the right place and mention your name in the upload summary. 4nn1l2 (talk) 09:51, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

• I am no expert when it comes to copyright laws. I did not intentionally upload images that violated copyright. I was trying my best to post images that I think are relevant to wikipedia articles. I think it would be unfair to penalise me for this. —AMomen88 (talk) 20:58, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

  @AMomen88: You were notified that '"fair use" materials are not acceptable here' in this edit 07:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC).   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 21:07, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

  @Jeff G.: With all due respect, I haven't got even the foggiest idea what "fair use" means. To someone who doesn't know much about copyright laws "fair use" sounds as if it can be used freely. I would appreciate if a seasoned user explained copyright law to me, so I do not keep posting images that violate copyright law.—AMomen88 (talk) 21:38, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

• In a nutshell, "fair use" is the use of a small portion of otherwise non-free copyrighted material for a very specific and limited purpose. E.g. the English Wikipedia allows for low-resolution album covers to be uploaded locally in order to illustrate an article about that one music album. On that basis, the image may not be used elsewhere at Wikipedia. Here at Commons, however, all uploads need to be free for anyone for any purpose. This can only be achieved by uploading files that were originally published with a free licence or that are too simple to be copyrighted (e.g. logos that consist only of text in a simple typeface), or where the copyright has expired due to old age. For recent images where there is no free licence like Creative Commons at the source or a statement that allows all kinds of re-use, we cannot keep images that are found somewhere on the internet because in most jurisdictions, all creative works are copyrighted and non-free by default and only the copyright holder may decide what to do with them and where to put them.
