[edit]

Unlikely to be own work. Multiple cameras and photographers in metadata. The uploader was already blocked two times for uploading copyright violations.

What makes you believe any of these files might be own work? Per metadata, some of these images are taken from Facebook and other websites. File:Saysary lake.jpg even credits Petr Venzel and File:Спортивный комплекс «Триумф».jpg Alexander Krivoshapkin. The uploader also has deleted copyright violations from 2016, 2017 and 2018. --Didym (talk) 16:56, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is possible that user Uyban had some sort of endorsement from the authors to upload the photos; maybe he was one of the photographers and the others were his friends. Notice that all the photos are about Yakutia; maybe it was a specific project to spread information about the nation. I have found that this image is also shown on Yakutsk's government's website since 2017, therefore well after the photo was uploaded here in 2014; its earliest appearance in the web outside Wikimedia dates back to 2015.

Deleted: per nomination; given the uploader's past history and no subsequent indication that they learned anything, we can't trust their claim of "own work". holly {chat} 20:03, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
