Files uploaded by User:Katuni5

[edit]

Multiple instances of duplicate uploads, already existing national flags with just a waving effect added, "versions" of flags (some of which are fictitious) where it is unclear what differentiates them from the main file used on multiple projects. Has also threatened retaliation against another user (see User_talk:NorthTension#If_you're_going_to_act_rudely,_go_to_Namuwiki. and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Latest version).svg). User may also be related to User:Azredcon4, who has been doing similar things with anthems and (just like this user) some coat of arms (and in some cases these two have been the only ones to edit a particular or obscure file unlikely to be used by anyone else). If it's not too much of an issue, this particular deletion request took me a lot of time to label, so would someone else be willing to handle Azredcon4's? --HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 16:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep File:Flag of Spain (Coat of arms, Middle).svg, File:Flag of Egypt (Coat of arms, Black color).svg and File:Flag of Egypt (Coat of arms, Red color).svg, since the first one is quite often used to incorrectly display the flag of Spain, as I was able to find out via image search, and the other two are just plain-color versions of the coat of arms that have every right to be there. I'm not sure about the others; most of them are really unnecessary, but some are SVG versions of images we have in other formats only, so I'm not sure they need to be removed. As for User:Azredcon4, a lot of his uploads are probably in the public domain and can be left here, but his duplicates of existing files are probably worth removing unless they are of better quality. 5.142.178.40 16:20, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for the ones on Crimea, I say keep, as half are vectorized versions of already existing files (File:Crimean_flag_with_Crimean_Tatar_tamga.png, File:Flag_of_Crimea_With_Coat_of_Arms.png, and the others? Well, I checked and as it seems the RGB version is common in at least the government of the Republic of Crimea, and the latest version? Shown to be the flag digitally in the law on state symbols, and the site of the R.C. Maybe needs a renaming (possibly to "Flag of Crimea (Alternate colours).svg"), but deserves to stay.
Now then, Flag of Crimea (design)? Seems stolen from Reddit. Public domain yes, but why would you need this here?
The other files? St Petersburg? Delete. The "Picture Description" flags? Delete.
The "latest version" flags may need more research to see whether or not they are genuinely the latest version or not. But they're usually so similar to the original... why even bother having separate files in the first place for most of these; why not just update the original? (I mean, I can understand Crimea {yes again, its completely protected, but also both versions are in use, warrants its own file})
Northern Ireland, keep, I can tell it's used.(Google Images), Yandex Images)
The PNG/GIF (if any) vectorizations? Keep. Dunno why those would be removed.
Under normal circumstances, I would check Lugansk's official page to see if the colours are real or not for the latest version here; but guess what, I can't access it! So I have to go the Federation Council. Which happens to show that the Crimean colours that were originally there, are still being used, and the Lugansk colours of Wikipedia, are true. (Not the latest version thingy.)
Without the ability to access the site I can't make any further judgement so better safe than sorry for now and keep. The Federal Council version of Kherson? Keep.
The CoA of Zaporizhia (2022)? Looks like I can't see a difference between this and the normal file. Delete.
The Coat of Arms of Komi? Can't access their site, but their favicon shows the coat of arms that is shown here. Should stay as an alternate version.
i hope all of that made sense to you. Kxeo (talk) 22:22, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A prior version for NI already exists at File:Flag of Northern Ireland (1953–1972, 3-2).svg. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 16:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't seem to be the same crown, however, I could find some versions prior that have almost the same design. Problem is they're more detailed than this version; of which I can tell is the used one. Kxeo (talk) 15:32, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t know what to do with them, maybe delete most of them? Güiseppi669 (talk) 09:59, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As the flag variations are properly licenced by the drawing author, my vote is to  Keep all which are no direct duplicates of existing files. Sure to keep the SVG-files if otherwise there are only PNG- or JPG-files in commons, but I don't see a problem with whose having a waving effect added either. People are not stupid - they see the artistic waving effect and will not use the flags as "the official one". But as there is a series of "Nuvola" flag files, those wavy files are just a alternative way of graphical representation - as long as the licence is OK, as in Flag of Turkmenistan, Picture Description.svg, properly licences by cc-by-sa-4.0. I don't have a doubt that the uploader is in fact the creater of that file (it looks selfmade...) - or is there any proof it would be taken from somewehere else?

In general, I think it's not sensible to bulk delete all of the files as a bunch. HapHaxion said above on a single file "seems stolen from Reddit" - that may be, doesn't seem stolen to me, but as such this is just an unsourced accusation. If something should be taken from somewhere: state a proof and the file can easily be deleted. ThomasPusch (talk) 13:11, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just as a heads up, the Reddit comment was made by User:Kxeon. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 14:58, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this good enough backup for the claim? I did a reverse image search, and found this fast.
Whether or not vectorising something like this counts, no idea. But honestly thinking it over a little more, it might just need proper credits. Kxeo (talk) 15:35, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
