User:Aiminer bot
- Aiminer bot (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
Bot username. Problematic behaviour if this actually is a bot, as it seems to be uploading images from websites as public domain when they're probably not (although only two so far). Belbury (talk) 11:34, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Belbury: Whatever, I have issued a username block. ─ Aafī (talk) 12:58, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Done - for the archiving bot. ─ Aafī (talk) 18:47, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Uploading a spam image after two requests not to. Belbury (talk) 12:16, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Another sock of IrelandBoy
Obvious sock of IrelandBoy (see Category:Sockpuppets of IrelandBoy). Reuploading the deleted files of the previous socks. Marbletan (talk) 12:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Done Indeffed and uploads nuked. I'd however once again want to say that sock-tagging should be left to the block admin, or at the least placed once the block has been issued. ─ Aafī (talk) 12:52, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- For obvious cases like this, it doesn't seem inappropriate to me to promptly add the {{Sock}} template that indicates the account is a "suspected" sockpuppet. But if that's the consensus for use of the template, I'll refrain from using it like that. Marbletan (talk) 13:35, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- My understanding is that COM:Sockpuppetry redirects to en-wiki - en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry, where if one scrolls down leads to en:WP:SOCKTAG which has a chronological guidance on how blocks/tags should be placed wrt sockpuppetry. Tagging comes after block. That's what I want to say. However, I do believe there should be a common guidance available at Commons as well. ─ Aafī (talk) 14:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'll initiate a discussion for this surely. ─ Aafī (talk) 14:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

- Reasons for reporting: Continued badly named oos uploading in File:Poolcore.png after these pieces of advice to avoid it.
— 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Jeff G. that advice was posted after I uploaded that. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 22:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Immanuelle: The bad name advice wasn't. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Jeff G. Is your claim that poolcore.png is a badly named image? I think it is possibly the most fitting name out there for that image. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Since the name warning I uploaded these images
- the last is more of a meta thing which is resolved so might be worth deleting. But all of them appear to be clear informative named images. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Done Poolcore deleted as out of scope and unused. Screencap deleted per author request. Please take this as a last warning regarding the poorly named images, such as Poolcore.png. Bedivere (talk) 23:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Bedivere was that a poorly named image? It seems like it was the best possible name for that image. I am actually quite confused as to why you deleted that image just now when the consensus on the page seemed to be to keep it Commons:Deletion requests/File:Poolcore.png Did you read the linked pages? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Deletions are not about consensus, but rather, on the weight of the arguments presented. The file had no use, additionally. And yes, it was a poorly named image, it could have been named, for example, AI-generated poolscape, rendered by Dall-E. Bedivere (talk) 23:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Bedivere AI generated example of poolcore generated using Dall-E would be a more descriptive title. But the purpose of the image was to convey the poolcore aesthetic as described here https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Poolcore so not having poolcore in the title would be a non-descriptive file name. I am unsure whether there is a requirement to mention an image is ai generated in the title. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- It isn't a requirement, but it indeed makes it a more descriptive title, which also does include poolcore in the title. Anyway, the file is deleted as oos. Bedivere (talk) 23:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Jeff G. It was supposed to convey the poolcore aesthetic as described here https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Poolcore I forget the exact prompt I used, as it was almost a month ago that I posted it, but it was based on the content of this page. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- The prompt was also far too long to include in the title. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Immanuelle: You could have included it in the description. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Jeff G. is it within the guidelines that the prompt needs to be included? With this discussion here and both of mine being deleted I don't think I ever will upload ai generated images here again, but I never took that as a rule here before. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- You can upload AI generated images. The problem with your uploads is that both were not in use, not in scope and had to be deleted. Next time try uploading an image with a clear educational purpose that could be used in an eventual article. Neither of these files had such an objective. Bedivere (talk) 23:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Bedivere there was a very clear educational purpose of the poolcore image. It was to demonstrate the poolcore aesthetic. The description said such. The other one didn't have a clear educational purpose though. So I am confused about why it was deleted. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Immanuelle: Is there an educational article about poolcore, say on Wikipedia, in the offing? https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Poolcore is unsourced fancruft. Please read en:WP:42. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Exactly, as Jeff said, there is no use on Wikimedia projects, and I don't think an article about "poolcore" is getting created anytime soon. Bedivere (talk) 23:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- Reasons for reporting: 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 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over three years ago. As a precedent, ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page" pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 34#Alex Neman. Ciwan2008 made this edit on or before 12 February 2024: omitting transclusion, the subpage, year, month, and day. I warned them in this edit 02:01, 12 February 2024 (UTC), surviving as User talk:Ciwan2008#Warning. They neglected to respond and made such edits again in this edit 11:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC) and this other edit 11:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC): omitting the same.

- Reasons for reporting: 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 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over three years ago. As a precedent, ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page" pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 34#Alex Neman. Fry72 made this deleted edit on or before 10 August 2022 (UTC). I reminded them of their mistake in this edit 15:39, 10 August 2022 (UTC). They neglected to respond (removing my reminder), and made such an edit again in these edits 06:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC), and I warned them in this edit 11:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC), which they treated the same. The made such an edit again in this edit 03:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC) and I again reminded them of their mistake in this edit 10:28, 27 October 2022 (UTC) (I would have gone further, but I couldn't find my previous posts). They made such an edit again in this deleted edit on or before 18 February 2024 (UTC): omitting subpage, transclusion, year, month, and day, and I warned them again in this edit 12:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC) and followed up four minutes later, which they promply removed in this edit 11:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC) and I warned them about that in this edit 11:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC). That brings us today. Today, the user made this edit 07:28, 28 March 2024 (UTC): omitting the reason, subpage, transclusion, year, month, and day. They followed up with this edit two minutes later, which at least provided the reason, year, month, and day, but was still missing subpage and transclusion. I created the subpage in this edit 13:37, 28 March 2024 (UTC), notification in this edit 13:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC), and transclusion in this edit 14:22, 28 March 2024.

- @Alisu faz o L: In one of your messages on your talk page, you confirm that you uploaded someone else's image and didn't know the exact license but put CC 3.0 license.

Lower protection of File:Flag of Virginia.svg and File:Seal of Virginia.svg
These two SVGs have been protected to admin only since last December, due to issues with back and forth reversions. I've been working on an update that I hope (fingers crossed) will address most of the complaints. I posted the link to it on the discussion page at File talk:Flag of Virginia.svg two weeks ago, looking for comments, and directly pinged participants last week when I didn't get any feedback. Per the advice of admin Mdaniels5757, who protected the files, I've waited another week, but would like to be able to update these two files now. Can an admin reduce the level of protection on these two SVGs? Perhaps to either extended or autoconfirmed users? Thanks all -- Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk 23:29, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Patrickneil: in a case like this, we wuould typically have both available and have commentary in the respectivw files about the accuracy and the sources. It is not the admins who should be the arbiter of truth, it is something that belongs to the users to justify. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:45, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, precisely, admins shouldn't be arbiters of truth, it is something that belongs to the users who work with words to build consensus. That is why we shouldn't keep these SVGs locked to admin only. Right now, admins have determined that my version from last September is the true version that cannot be changed. I, a user, am saying that version was far from perfect. And in order to prevent forking the files, I've worked on fixes for months now to both improve and clean the SVGs and bring the whole design more in line with what limited sources we do have. I'm not afraid to defend this version on the talk pages where the discussion belongs, but in order to get that started again, I need them unlocked from admin only. Thanks again -- Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk 02:30, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Can you show us that there is a consensus to make the changes that are proposed? Also, there is no "extended" protection for Commons, you probably meant autopatroller. Abzeronow (talk) 17:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Correct, I'm unclear if there is an upload protection level other than "upload=sysop". My edits are all based on what I would, yes, describe as the consensus version, which again, is a file I made the most recent revisions to last September. I just want to continue to fix issues with this version I uploaded but which then got locked because a series of, I assume, sockpuppets kept reverting to old 2005-era clipart versions of the SVGs. That is why I was curious if there was an upload protection level that would require a certain age of username or number of edits. But I will deal with the sockpuppets in appropriate forums if it keeps being an issue. I've waited five months to request this, I think that is an adequate cool down. I see no consensus for an indefinite lock and at this point I feel it is standing in the way of some basic progress. Thanks again -- Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk 18:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

- @Mdaniels5757: , @Paddleboats: , @Nux: , @Skunkcrew: since I would also like to hear what they have to say on the matter. Abzeronow (talk) 18:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, this... Well, it was an interesting side project to figure out history of this seal/flag and draw a proper Parazonium (sword)... a year ago ;). I would say the scabbard on the updated version feels a bit too wooden for my taste, but I guess that's not really crucial and still better then the old one so tomayto, tomahto (I'm fine with whatever). The helmet is nice and look pretty accurate both in terms of historical seals and Greek-ish looks (Amazon warrior). Nux (talk··dyskusja) 19:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Nux! I said this over in our discussion thread, but the version I want to upload today is also not 100% perfect, it's just a bit better than what is up now. I know it will need additional adjustments in the future. But the nature of Wikipedia/Wikimedia is iterative and incremental progress. If I had a perfect image I might be requesting its usage over at Commons:Requested updates to protected images, not here. Regardless, I might suggest that design comments go on our talk page thread and this thread be about whether/why the file lock would need to be perpetuated for another day/month/century. Thank you! -- Patrick Neil, oѺ∞/Talk 19:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Patrickneil Done I know nothing about what is the correct version, but no one seems to object, and I think that autopatrol protection is likely enough to stop revert wars from happening again. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Can this be protected as a high use file? It has more than 25,000 file links and should be upload protected so only admins can update. Aasim (talk) 18:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Sahaib, battleground mentality, and edit warring
I believe we discussed a zillion of times that categories "Foo country in april 2023" "Foo country photographs taken on 2048-13-64" should not be further split in subcategories. User Sahaib apparently was unaware of this, and started mass-moving, which I found because they moved my file File:Perth Municipal Buildings seen from Tay Street.jpg, I reverted them and tried to explain, first in edit summaries, and then at their talk page, see User talk:Sahaib#May 2024, that no consensus that it is ok to split the categories, exists, and it is up to them to either find one of many discussions or ask a question at the Village Pump. They were not interested in listening and continued edit-warring. (Note that I uploaded about 30 files taken in Scotland on that day, and several hundreds taken in Scotland that week, but they have only been edit-warring moving one of them). Something needs to be done about this. Ymblanter (talk) 19:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: I have been a very active contributor to Wikicommons for almost 4 years with almost 200,000 edits and so would not like to be blocked. I disagree with Ymblanter and I feel I discussed it rationality on my talk page. I apologise if I reverted too much. Sahaib (talk) 19:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Actially German photographs per day are often recategorized per Bundesland. I have not practiced it myself, but I will not protest, when I see categories "Saxony photographs taken on ..." Taivo (talk) 09:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- See also Commons:Village pump#Category diffusion, again. I uploaded plenty of German photographs myself, and, indeed, I have seen them recategorized two times by two different users. I went to their talk pages, and one was receptive and another one was not, but indeed the argument both times was that they have seen existing categories per Bundesland and wanted to diffuse more categories in this way. Since there are people willing to diffuse categories and nobody wants to categorized the photos back to country categories, we naturally get more and more category diffusion even though there is no consensus to do this. Ymblanter (talk) 09:55, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
It's useless to sanction Sahaib while we continue to tolerate that people like J.-H. Janßen every single day create something like "Category:Neukloster photographs taken on 2023-06-28". Definitely we need a centralized discussion on this and/or a Request for comment. Only with a clear consensus we can delete all the mess and prohibit to create it in future. Regards --A.Savin 13:18, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, this makes sense (though reverting my edits - in the file I uploaded - four times was clearly over the top). I will prepare such an RfC, just discussion on village pumps tend to attract only a handful of people, which then is a weak representation of consensus. Ymblanter (talk) 14:55, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Ymblanter: {{Taken on}} documentation says that location should contain the country. So I would affirm this in an rfc that the lowest category allowed is "<country> photographs taken on "single day". So splitting that further up by parts of country or smaller unit than day is not allowed. When (if) we get consensus for this, it should be easy with some bots to move the files up the tree. Multichill (talk) 19:56, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- I drafted an RfC here: Commons:Requests for comment/Categories of photographs by country by date, please have a look and amend if you think smth is missing. I am planning to start it running mid-next week.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Lower or remove protection on File:Flag_of_Palestine.svg
The edit warring seems to have died down and it does not seem as if it will ruin everything, simply by unlocking it.
It should be fine to at least lower it.

A disruptive user, NorthTension keeps forcing files, especially these two files to have standardized colors despite at the time it not being such colors. He keeps citing the reasons that he does so to be "colors, the PRC flag has been standardized to this specific shade so it stands within reason that everything else derived from it should be this color too as it is on wikimedia", which doesn't count for making flags non-historical, plus it's stupid because he knows those standardized colors only exist from 2022, which is like around 80 to 90 years after these flags were originally adopted!

Block request for user:Admsupport
User is already blocked without an expiration time on the Russian Wikipedia for misleading username. It is worth noting that user is blocked on the Russian Wikipedia as a person, not just account, meaning if user will create a new account, it will be blocked by a checkuser for block evasion. Here (on the Wikimedia Commons) it is necessary to decide whether to block an actual person or just account. The only file uploaded here by this user is File:SOLPARTNERS.png, which might violate copyright. Guest Kashapov (talk) 08:26, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not a copyvio: the file is too simple for copyright protection. Taivo (talk) 08:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

- Done blocked three days. I left a message on your talk page. While I do agree removing the speedy deletion tag is not the happiest approach to such controversies, I don't think it was meant as vandalism and they had a reasonable motive, given that the Vogue Taiwan files (owned directly by Conde Nast) are legitimately released under a CC license. There is no reason to legitimately doubt that. I have blocked Revenge as they used an insult in an edit summary, which is unacceptable. Bedivere (talk) 02:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- and on your side, edit warring over a speedy deletion tag is not fine either. You saw there was disagreement over the speedy deletion tag, you could have nominated the files for deletion yourself. While Commons currently has no formal three revert rule, this doesn't mean that edit warring is acceptable. That is why I have issued a three day block for you too.

repeated copyright violation by User:محمود الجبور
User has repeatedly uploaded images from the web as his own. His talk page is filled with deleted images because of copyright and I traced 6 them to their source:
The user doesn't understand copyright law. On his talk page he responded to another violation with: "ا اخي الكريم الصورة موجودة بالمنطقة عندي و انا ابن المنطقة اي خرق و اي حقوق تتحدثوناتمنى ان ترجع الصورة" which translates to "The picture is in my area, and The picture if from my region. What violation and what rights are you talking about? I hope that the picture will be returned."
Or in another violation: صار عندي يقين مليار بالمئةانه لايوجد معيار واضح للتطوير العمل الويكي فقط مبني على شخصنة لا ااكثر فا النشر موجود على الواقع لا من كوكب ثاني مثال واحد لا للحصر الشاعرة و الكاتبة و الروائية و اقاصة السورية فوزية المرعي اسم معروف وقامة واعطيت المواقع للستزادة منكم و النضر فيما اكتب مهما كتبت انا و انتم لايغيربارض الواقع بشيء الموضوع في هذه الحالة عندكم امانة ووجدان which translates to "I am 100% sure that there is no clear requirement to contributing to wiki.

Block request for User:Bedivere
Short notice: I was edit warring with another user for one of my uploaded files and he reported me in the administrators noticeboard to resolve the dispute. Then i was blocked by User:Bedivere for three days without prior warning. I looked up the Blocking policy and found out that my edit-warring was a disruptive behaviour, and I'm quoting the before blocking section: "For blocks based on disruptive behaviour, such as vandalism, repeated copyright violations and manual promotional activities, ensure that the user has been appropriately warned, preferably using a block warning template." Then in the comment on my talk page justifying on why he blocked me, he wrote: "Edit warring after warnings".
Here are the two counts of serious violation of the blocking policy by him:
- Blocking me without using a block warning template as required.
- False claiming that he did warn me beforehand.
I had previous disputes like my last one and I always tried to resolve it in a good manner, had he really warned me I would've stepped back. AceDouble (talk) 17:23, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- You were reported at this same noticeboard for edit warring, which spanned for several months. You were blocked as a result. The blocking summary could have simply read "edit warring" and it would have not invalidated the motive, which was truly edit warring. Furthermore, you asked to be unblocked saying the block is "Unjustified, unnecessary.. clearly this is a gross violation, it's about solid facts rather than making up the "edit-warring" stuff". You obviously did not get the point of the blocking. Yann did fine too by declining your request, as "unblock needs an understanding of the issue, and a promise not to continue" [18]. Coming here now to request a block against an admin who correctly issued a block against you is disruptive. Bedivere (talk) 17:48, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Please note this thread at AceDouble's talk page. I caught them removing copyright tags from files in order to have them deleted. They already did so on 9 June with other six files, which were deleted on 16 June. The thing is that this user attempted to have these images deleted once or more, via deletion requests, without success. I have warned the user not to continue in such disruptive behavior, else they may be blocked. --Bedivere (talk) 19:52, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- AceDouble has previously been explicitly asked not to edit war, and indeed has received many, many (copyvio) notices linking to our blocking policy. The purport that they received no warning is untrue and, even if it were, disingenuous wiki-lawyering. The purpose of a warning (COM:BP does not require a "block warning template" as erroneously claimed) is to ensure the user is aware of the relevant issue, which they demonstrably are ("there is no edit warring"), including even as recent as May 2024, well before the June 2024 block. As someone so familiar and concerned with the letter of our blocking policy, one wonders how AceDouble reconciles making a "Block request for User:Bedivere" with "blocking is designed to be a preventative measure and not a punitive one" (italics in original), or indeed how comments like "Persona non-grata: bidgee, guanaco, jeff g" [19] and "you are unwelcome!" [20] reconcile with "I always tried to resolve it in a good manner" (underline added). Given the history of copyvios, recreation of deleted content, edit warring and incivility, three days was perhaps rather light. Эlcobbola talk 20:30, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- I couldn't agree more, Elcobbola. Now, after AceDouble asked to block me for blocking them, they are even accussing me of harassing and threatening with reporting me to the Arbitration Commitee (?) as I caught them removing valid (or at the most, dubious) licenses to have images they apparently dislike, deleted.

- I have indefinitely blocked AceDouble for intimidation/harassment, disruptive behavior (as explained above, including removing license tags in order to have files deleted as "no license" just after being kept in their own successive deletion requests, something they just done today, keeping up with previous behavior; unwillingness to accept errors, etc.) assuming bad faith openly. This is unacceptable behavior. Bedivere (talk) 22:45, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

- Reasons for reporting: 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 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over three years ago. As a precedent, ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page" pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 34#Alex Neman.

An editor took one of my 2017 photos of the late actor Carl Weathers, specifically Photo #12 from that set, or 10.5.17CarlWeathersByLuigiNovi12b.jpg, and created a cropped variant of that pic, which is here. That variant, or Carl_Weathers_(cropped_3_by_4), inappropriately abandoned the naming convention that I use for my photos, thus removing my name from it, despite my preference, which is stated in the licensing information on each pic's page, that use of the photos retain my name.
I have no problem with cropped variants being created to address the specific needs of indiviual articles, and many other editors have respected my naming convention when doing so, so I created a cropped variant, identical to the aforementioned one, 10.5.17CarlWeathersByLuigiNovi12b.jpg, uploaded it, redirected the non-legitimate one to this legit one, and changed many of the other foreign language articles that use the cropped version to the one that respects my license. I gave my reason for this in the edit summary that accompanied my redirect.
However, subsequent to this, an admin named User:Billinghurst reverted this. He then locked both files from editing by non-admins, falsely accusing me of "vandalism" in the process, when he gave as his reason for the lockdown "Excessive vandalism." The Commons page on vandalism does not offer an explicit definition of the term, but the one given on Wikipedia is "editing (or other behavior) deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose." Even if Billinhurst disagreed with my edits, even if he/she thought my reverts violated some policy (and they never indicated this to me), that does not make vandalism, nor does it make it acceptable to accuse an editor of this.
In any event, once I created the cropped variant of my file that retained my file name convention, there was no need to revert it, since it satisified both the need for which the original variant (with the incorrect name) was created, and my requirement that it keep a variant of the original name. If there was a motive to revert my edits other than mere tendentiousness or spite, Billinghurst did not make a point of reaching out to me to explain it. This is hardly an example of good faith behavior.
I ask that variants of my photos retain the original naming convention, which includes my name, that the non-legitimate variant of the photo in question be removed in favor of the legitimate one, and that Billinghurst be politely informed that knee-jerk reverts, or ones employing a false accusation as a rationale, are not acceptable. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 17:24, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Your preferred name was a duplicate so Billinghurst's actions seem correct to me. Also, as you say, the file naming is a request, not an obligation of the license. @TheLoyalOrder: , would renaming File:Carl Weathers (cropped 3 by 4).jpg to File:Carl Weathers, photo by Luigi Novi (cropped 3 by 4).jpg be acceptable to you? Abzeronow (talk) 17:43, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1){kind=link}
- The preferred name was a variant, just as the photo itself was a variant, as it had the letter "b" upended to it, so it was not a duplicate of the exact same name. Irrespective of whether it is obligatory, it is a courtesy, and it reasonable for it to be respected rather than ignored. Even if you had failed to notice this request in the licensing info (which is not nececessary a bad faith act), reverting it, as Billinghurst did, was not justifiable.
- Renaming it 10.5.17CarlWeathersByLuigiNovi12b would be acceptable. Nightscream (talk) 18:04, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- I should have stated that the file named 10.5.17CarlWeathersByLuigiNovi12b was a duplicate. Billinghurst followed policy by redirecting your desired file name to the file uploaded by TheLoyalOrder. If Billinghurst had requested full protection of the files because of an edit war, I'd have granted it. I am trying to find an equitable solution to this, as I'm willing to include a credit to you in the file name, but I'm not inclined at this time to enforce your preferred naming convention as a solution to this issue.

Comment @Nightscream: This is Commons and a site inhabited by many of us following the consensus rules of the community. We have consensus guidance about uploads, Commons:Upload. We have consensus guidance on derivatives, Commons:Derivative works. We have consensus guidance on licensing, Commons:Licensing. We have guidance on Commons:Creative Commons. We have the consensus guidance for file naming, Commons:File naming, which we follow, and that allows you to put names on files that you upload. We have consensus guidance about renaming, Commons:File renaming. We even have consensus guidance on duplicates, Commons:Duplicates.I welcome you bringing issues here where you are addressing the consensus or issues where the administrators are operating outside of the consensus of the community. What I do not welcome is a kid stamping their feet that they want things their way, where you are operating outside of the consensus policies and procedures of the community. [Your repeated edits OUTSIDE of the consensus guidance is akin to edit warring or vandalism, take your pick.] Your uploading a file, and converting an existing file into a redirect to your files is outside the editing guidance of the community.
An administrator has no skin in the game where they act, they should be following the consensus guidance of the community, or seeking that guidance where it is unclear that the request is within an existing consensus. Your ability to make the rules at this site is to start a conversation, and suggest how the rules can be changed, and where the community reaches a consensus that what you promote is better, then we have new policies and guidance. That is the opportunity we all have. I will now return to my general admin duties following the consensus of the community as I understand it, as I have done for the last fourteen years. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:01, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- There is nothing at Commons:File renaming that appears to preclude maintain the naming convention chosen by the original uploader of a file, nor changing it as you have, nor reverting it without a rationale. If I'm mistaken, please quote it. Please explain what specific thing I've done is "outside" consensus, and how.
- Nor does it justify falsely accusing another editor of "vandalism" (something that unsurprisingly, you have chosen not to address), nor the incivility you have displayed here with your condescening "kid stamping their feet" remark. But if you can quote what portion of the aforementioned guideline page (and/or any other relevant) calls for either your reverts, your false accusation, or your rather hostile words above, then ball means, please do so.

- You were not renaming the file, and I have declined no renaming of a file. I am not here to produce a list of how you were operating outside of the guidance, I am here to tell you I followed the policies, procedures and conventions that exist for administrators to act. Not once, nor twice, instead on multiple occasions to get it all replaced with your name where you think that you have a right to have derived files named as you wish. The administrators do not exist for the purposes to get derived files aligned with uploaders names; nor to have to sit and handhold on every decision that we make to the guidance. I'll take a paycut if that helps. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:08, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
