Silver-washed fritillary - Argynnis paphia, male
 Comment Not at all what you say. I just want anybody not to overwrite my file. I have my reason for that. Look at here. This user Amara overwrote my file with a thumbnail again and again. But my work is my work. Anybody can use my picture according the cc by-sa **. Therefore what you write is completely nonsense. Please don't bring me in a discussion for that. I have no time the next few weeks. Just think twice before you write such stupid stuff. --Hockei (talk) 21:45, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What that user did was simple vandalism. They should have been blocked for it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:28, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Pine: Agree with Hockei, this is Commons-only, non-copyright restriction in line with COM:OVERWRITE guidelines. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:32, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Hockei and King of Hearts: thanks for the comments. I think that a creator requesting that others not overwrite the file is okay, and I think that a creator requesting that others contact the creator first before overwriting a file is okay. However, unless I have overlooked something in COM:OVERWRITE, I do not believe that a creator is permitted on Commons to make a permanent and complete prohibition against someone else from overwriting a file. My comment here is not intended to support edit wars regarding versions of a file. If Hockei changes the comment on the file page from "Overwriting my file is prohibited." to "Please do not overwrite this file without consulting me first, and if you want to edit the file then I request that you upload the derivative as a separate file.", I would be okay with that request, and I hope that Hockei will agree to this softer wording. Thank you. --Pine (✉) 00:53, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment And what has this to do with the FPC-nomination? You demand compliance with rules from others and don't stick to it yourself. Find a valid reason for your oppose or cancel it. Everything else will be clarified later at another place. --Hockei (talk) 15:11, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Hockei: I agree with Pine that you should consider a softer wording than "prohibited" simply to create a more collegial atmosphere. That said, I don't think this restriction is meant to apply to the license and hence cannot render it invalid (i.e. I don't think Hockei intends to hold those overwriting his file on Commons in violation of the license, merely in violation of COM:OVERWRITE guidelines). And to be technical about it, is overwriting others' files really not prohibited? Per IAR there is no dividing line between makruh and haram, only a sliding scale of undesirable actions. If someone persisted in overwriting other people's files after being repeatedly asked not to, a block could very well be in order. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:46, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
