Kazimier Lachnovič (request for revoking filemover rights)
[edit]- Kazimier Lachnovič (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)
Hello, user Kazimier Lachnovič was recently blocked for "Long-term abuse" (see: HERE) by an administrator @A.Savin: and was previously strictly warned due to malicious trolling by another administrator @Yann: (who later also supported stricter sanctions for Kazimier Lachnovič, see the same AN discussion). Nevertheless, user Kazimier Lachnovič still has filemover rights in Wikimedia Commons and I believe that such privilege should be reserved only for users with unquestionable reputation as it allows access to quite sensitive actions (both administrators A.Savin and Yann supported that his filemover rights should be revoked, see the same AN discussion). Consequently, I request to remove filemover rights for user Kazimier Lachnovič as he certainly is not an exemplary user who follows Commons:Policies and guidelines. There even were cases when he was unable to participate in a discussion politely and aggressively called Lithuanians as rubbish (see: 1, 2, 3). So this user is untrustworthy and is a long-term violator of rules. -- Pofka (talk) 20:39, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support removing right. Yann (talk) 22:17, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- Remove per the reason given by Pofka. --SHB2000 (talk) 23:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Support, removing rights. Kadı Message 09:55, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose blocking of the user does not seem justified in the first place but rather a result of bullying and massive trolling by Lithuanian nationalist editors including the initiator of this particular request --Czalex (talk) 17:28, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose for the reason given by Czalex, as Pofka has a conflict of interest on this issue.--W (talk) 09:58, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

- Hello, I have contributed around 36.000 edits on Commons since 2008, including uploads of some 5.000 photographs. On Commons, I am predominantly active in media concerning Hamburg. I mostly put in renaming requests for my own files, but occasionally also for files of other users when I spot a mistake or want to achieve consistent naming across categories. I speak English and German. I believe that I have a good understanding of the six valid reasons for renaming, and would remain active on Hamburg-related files. PS: I have sysop rights on the German language Wikipedia, if that is at all relevant. --Minderbinder (talk) 16:37, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

- I made this request previously but was not pinged in the replies so had no idea that a discussion was being had and had no opportunity to answer Mdaniels5757's opposition. My denied requests for renaming from March and April cited by Mdaniels5757 were all made for the same reason and the wrong decision was made each time. I have requested moves of tons identically mistitled files (i.e. FirstLast2022.jpg) under criterion 2 in the past and had those requests granted (see, e.g., File:Jackson Holliday 2022.jpg, File:Christian Roa 2022.jpg, File:Tyler Callihan 2022.jpg and File:Paul DeJong 2021.jpg). The recent denials from March and April cited by the admins as grounds for my denial of moving rights were all done in error. (It's also worth noting that one of those recent denials, File:Whitey Herzog - 1983 - standing.jpg, actually was renamed and given a title nearly identical to the one I requested.) --Denniscabrams (talk) 18:22, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- For convenience, the old discussion was at Special:Permalink/751022702#Denniscabrams (Apologies for not pinging you earlier.). I remain opposed: in my opinion, the grants of renaming were done in error, not the declines. See COM:FRNOT #1, which is almost identical to this situation. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:29, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ugh, forgot to ping again. @Denniscabrams. —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Mdaniels5757: Those files needed to be moved. People search for photos of individuals by entering 'Firstname Lastname' in the search bar. If a file is uploaded as "FirstnameLastnameYEAR.jpg," it wouldn't turn up in the search results. This renders the filename meaningless, satisfying criterion 2. An argument could also be made that it falls under criterion 6, "Non-controversial maintenance and bug fixes" for the same reason. --Denniscabrams (talk) 19:29, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

- I am processing the images in Category:Singapore, initially as a passing interest, but it seems that I am on a roll, processing dozens of images each day: recategorising, filing renaming requests, requesting for deletions, etc. There are a lot of images to be renamed (primarily ambiguous or meaningless names like DSC123.jpg) in the main category, and possibly also in the subcategories. I wish not to flood the request queue when I am dealing with these files. I have submitted dozens of file renaming requests, and most of them were approved. I have read and understood the contents of COM:RENAME, and the table of criteria has been being consulted rigorously before making file renaming requests. Thank you.

- To rename images I have uploaded; to change meaningless or ambiguous names of files I and others have uploaded related to the Smithsonian American Art Museum; to harmonize names for the set of images from the Smithsonian American Art Museum that multiple users have uploaded. Over the years, Wikimedia volunteers and Smithsonian employees have uploaded open access images from the Smithsonian American Art Museum collection to Commons. As such, naming conventions have differed and evolved. Most of the images from this museum are now uploaded by SI employees, and we've settled on a naming scheme, which I'd like to apply to images from this museum already uploaded to Commons. Further, I'm happy to relinquish these permissions after one year and reapply/request if needed. Thank you. Sonoet2 (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

- Oops, one question. I see on the COM:RENAME, the first bullet under "Criteria to decline" notes "Files should NOT be renamed only because the new name looks a bit better." One of the three reasons I'd like permission to rename is "to harmonize names for a set of images" from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. This may result in very minor changes that may seem to only be because it looks a bit better, but is really done in context of the larger set of images. Just want to make sure those edits are fine.

@Sonoet2: Granted for a year, you may request again after expiration if needed. With reply to your question above, If a set of files are already in harmonized manner and aren't meaningless/non-descriptive then they shouldn't be renamed just for better look, but if there is inconsistency, then I think it would be okay as long as it doesn't turn into less/non descriptive, but you might want to ask others via COM:VP, Commons talk:File renaming, IRC, etc... better careful than sorry.

- For quite some time I ignored the possibility of requesting this right simply because I thought I did not really need it that much. However, I have noticed that quite often I request the renaming of some files in such a way that I believe it would be reasonable to have this right in order not to take up so much time from well-intentioned volunteers. I hereby declare, for the necessary purposes, that I have thoroughly read the file renaming guideline and that I will strictly adhere to it. It should furthermore be noted that, out of my nearly thousand file renaming requests, very few (around five, at most, I suppose) have been denied, for reasons that I now understand very well, so similar errors are unlikely to occur.

- Initially to rename some of my uploaded files under criterion #1- "At the original uploader’s request." I have uploaded Flickr files with meaningless or ambiguous names that I have started to rename in recent weeks. After I am done with my files, there are 1,000's more that could benefit from renaming. I can help with that work. Thank you. Ooligan (talk) 09:24, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

- As a sysop of kowiki, I am patrolling many new pages at kowiki every day. When I am patrolling, there are new files uploaded with meaningless name, quite often, like files of Category:Files that likely originated from KakaoTalk with bad file names. I already made several successful file renaming request, so I think I have enough experience to get this permission. Thank you. LR0725 [ Talk | Contribs ] 13:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

- I've been requesting a lot of files to be moved. In fact, most of my contributions have been requesting file renames, most of them take about 3-7 days. When I'm granted this right, I won't give file movers more files to review and possibly empty the categories for each criterion. Thank you for considering.

- I often need to rename my files due to my typos and I often request for renaming other users' file due to their ambiguous or obviously incorrect file names. As you can see in my contributions, I have done a lot of requests of file renaming and all of them are approved. So I think I can do this all by myself instead of requesting others to do it. Thank you.
Sincerely, --User3204 07:56, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Why is everyone ignoring my requests? I have seen other users who requested their rights later than mine and they still get approved while my request is still waiting. It has already been over two weeks and I have not even received a single response. What happened? Is there anything wrong with my request or do I not meet the criteria?

- In Category:Files with bad file names there is a subcategory called Category:Files with all upper case file names. I recommended the change based on the fact that it was in that category. If files with all caps are not considered bad file names, that subcategory should be removed from the bad files names category.
- As for choosing criterion 6, it was a non-controversial change involving character handling problems (all caps instead of sentence or title case.) Is there a better criterion I could chose or is all uppercase acceptable in file names? (In which case, see above about the bad file names category.) Epolk (talk) 14:13, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

- Hi there! I've been making quite a few rename requests recently, as I'm currently going through Category:Files of buses with bad file names when I have time. I have made 34 rename requests at the time of writing, and all of the files I've requested have been renamed as a result, albeit with a couple of minor errors. I am familiar with the renaming rules, and if I received this right, would help in Category:Media requiring renaming as well. If I was ever unsure whether a file should be renamed, I would put a rename template on it and leave it for someone else to review.

Hello. I am working as an administrator of Korean Wikipedia.
In particular, I am interested in managing media materials related to Korea.
