At first sorry for my English, it's not the best but I hope good enough.

Begin this month I started getting doubts about whether User:Westbrabander his pictures are really own work. So I started searching them on the internet, and found out that some of them where copyright violations. I asked Westbrabander for an explanation how his pictures where made on his talkpage on the dutch Wikipedia (see here). He gave the explanations a few days later on my talkpage (see here) After his explanations I told him which explanations I didn't believe, and showed the other places on the web where his pictures could be found. In the discussion afterwards he agreed that he lied about some of the pictures, and that some should be deleted because they where not his own work. I haven't found proof for all of his pictures to be a copyright violation, only a big percentage I have found proof for. But because of this high percentage I believe this users claims are all not to trust. On the dutch Wikipedia he has a history of making false source claims. Because of this I nominated all his pictures for deletion. Now I'll state why the individual pictures are copyright violations:

  • 10. found on this site (search for "graf")
  • 12. found on this site (search for "Café Hoek Markt – Westdam")
  • 13. found on this site (search for "Grote Kerkstraat/Blauwstraat" (2nd picture on that search))
  • 14. Allready nominated here. User claims that this is a picture of his wifes grandfather, but in fact it's a cropped postcard.
  • 15. Google maps, see explanation.
  • 18 and 19 from this site Including the black bording, which is later edited away by User Westbrander, and uploaded again.
  • 23 User says he found it on Flickr, the other picture he took from Flickr (picture 28) shows that he didn't watch which license the picutres have.
  • 24, 25 and 26 found here. In the pictures you clearly see Copyright marks. User westbrabander cropped these out when placing them on commons. A pretty clear and deliberately lie.
  • 30 found here. Probably picture 29 can be found on this site as well with a better search.
  • 11, 16, 21, 27,29, 31 and 32 are missing OTRS as Westbrabander stated they where not own work, but work of people he knows. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 12:32, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • For all the other pictures I have strong doubts. I think most, or all, of them are not own work.

Mvg, Basvb (talk) 10:56, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These aren't all pictures made by User:Westbrabander, He also has uploaded several clearly old pictures, or computer-made images. The older images he also claimed "own work" althought these are in the public domain because of their age (and it's impossible he created them). example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4 Mvg, Basvb (talk) 11:17, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Earlier nominations of User:Westbrabanders pictures are to be found here: kept, kept, requests/File:Steenbergen vroege.jpg kept, deleted (from same site as nr. 10, 12 and 13 above.) Mvg, Basvb (talk) 11:17, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep the ones that are still claimed as own work; I tagged the ones that Basvb had found elsewhere as copyviolations, and those have now been speedily deleted;  Delete also those ascribed by uploader to various friends or other sites, as there is no evidence of permission. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 10:11, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

3 more nominations

[edit]
Doubts about these 3 as well. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 11:17, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Steenbergen

[edit]

I believe User:Westbrabander is the same as User:Steenbergen.

Mvg, Basvb (talk) 11:46, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination pictures from User:Steenbergen

[edit]

As shown above I believe User:Steenbergen is the same as User:Westbrabander. For one of the pictures from User:Steenbergen I have proof that it's a copyright violation. For two of them I am pretty sure they are. The other pictures I doubt about because I think it's no longer possible to trust this users claims. The picture from 5 may 2008 are strange, their are with and without date stamp, this indicates at least 2 different cameras? As well as one of the pictures (between the rest) is a proven copyright violation. Besides that I think it's better to now in one time just review everything.

nl:User:Strienenaer

[edit]

The actions from this user on the Dutch Wikipedia strongly point to this account being an early account from nl:User:Westbrabander. This user uploaded 16 pictures on the Dutch Wikipedia. Of which 4 have been deleted allready and 12 are currently on Wikimedia Commons (two renamed since). Some of these are copyright violations as well, for 2 I have a strong reason. The other 9 I nominate because of my believe that this user is not to be trusted, and those will probably as well be copyright violations, maybe they can be found after a good search on the web. (these pictures are found with this (only visible for moderators on the Dutch Wikipedia).

Mvg, Basvb (talk) 12:31, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It might be that File:Jan Oorlog.png is also a part of this. nl:user:Steenbergenaar is believed to be an earlier account from nl:User:westbrabander as well. But as this is only 1 picture and I haven't found proof it's not possible to say this for sure. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 13:07, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additions

[edit]
  1. I have just identified the file File:NieuweGemeentehuisSteenbergen.jpg as being identical als the picture on Steenbergen in Beeld (look for "Het nieuwe gemeentehuis – Buiten de Veste 1"). - Eddylandzaat
  2. The same for File:Hoek blauwstraat.jpg, look for "Hoekwoning/winkel Markt - Grote Kerkstraat/Blauwstraat, maar nu op 31 maart 2009 " - Eddylandzaat
@Eddylandzaat The 2nd one I had allready found, see above. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 13:20, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  1. File nr. 11 is identified as 'Jaarmarkt Steenbergen'. However, the 'Ristorante Amore Mio' (see picture) is in Bergen op Zoom, see here. Glatisant (talk) 15:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    This is a picture of Steenbergen. There is also a restaurant "Amore Mio" in Steenbergen (as can be easily checked), and in Google Streetview one can check that this picture is indeed the Grote Kerkstraat in Steenbergen: [1]. Pbech (talk) 18:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. most - Deleted. some - I'm not convinced that the user only uploaded copyvio, please provide individual indication - Jcb (talk) 15:47, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is absurd, a user who uploaded like 20-40% copyvio's is not to be trusted, it's impossible to find the proof provided for each individual image. If this is how structural copyvio uploaders are treated then I think the only conclusion can be that 5-10% of commons exists out of copyvio. At least I wont put any more effort in this nonsense then, and will just keep my commons use to uploading my images if I need them for articles. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 16:45, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
