Note

  • Before reporting one or more users here, try to resolve the dispute by discussing with them first. (Exception: obvious vandal accounts, spambots, etc.)
  • Keep your report as short as possible, but include links as evidence.
  • Remember to sign and date all comments using four tildes (~~~~), which translates into a signature and a time stamp.

TommieKunst (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)
Deliberate copyvio uploading via the same fake Flickr accounts [1] and [2] - both Flickr accounts used by both Commons' ones. The same modus operandi: creation of fake metadata, including false author's name and false date of creation (e.g., File:Igor Avrunin discus throw.jpg, File:BorisKorchilov.jpg, File:JenniferAnneGordon.jpg, File:ABCherkasovPortrait.jpg, File:JimDukhovnyAtPresentation2022-10-19.jpg) - more than 20 files. Quick1984 (talk) 16:50, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. I blocked both indefinitely for license laundering and abusing multiple accounts. Taivo (talk) 09:12, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Fattyfrosh001

[edit]

User talk:Fattyfrosh001 i believe we made enough warnings to him for uploading COM:SELFIE and advertisement images. block him pwease. modern_primat ඞඞඞ ----TALK 18:09, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. One week block, all uploads are deleted. Taivo (talk) 08:58, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Socks : FYI

[edit]

Chin pin choo (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  and TamilRoman (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  are socks and possibly SPGSec (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  too. Note: I don't notify at user talk page as it is confirmed sock. --AntanO 17:24, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I blocked TamilRoman. SPGSec has no edit here. Yann (talk) 19:07, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: FYI these are both socks of another account blocked on en.wiki, presumably created to edit around that block. See also User talk:Túrelio#Potential copyvio farm. CMD (talk) CMD (talk) 04:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done I blocked Chin pin choo and Makks2010 indef. One should check if other accounts from the farm exist on Commons. I will do that later unless someone else does it first. Yann (talk) 09:38, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I blocked all socks existing on Commons. Yann (talk) 19:23, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Phanfone Vongfong 2014

[edit]

May be early in reporting this account, however this users contributions have been entirely reverts to low resolution on inferior versions of tropical cyclone images. I have voiced my concern about unreasoned reverts on their talk page with no response and almost immediately returned to reverting images. I would also suggest checking for socks, with this account most likely linked to Mazum24 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information), though only because at least one image was reverted to a Mazum24 sock accounts edit.

SelfStarter2

[edit]

SelfStarter2 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 

New account, nothing but highly POV edits to the area of Israel / Palestine and Islam generally. Not everything is vandalism, because some is removing stuff that was there before and even worse. But still, nothing good is going to come of this. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:20, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree entirely. Will indef-block (though I leave the cleanup to someone else). This person would have to make a hell of a case why we should let them back on the site. - Jmabel ! talk 04:08, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, fine for me. Yann (talk) 11:00, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You may also want to block Gorrrillla5 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) for this edit, reverted by SelfStarter2. Yann (talk) 11:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What I did was horrible and I regret it, it was wrong of me to do so. I will never do anything like that again, I apologise. 2A02:C7C:641A:D800:F097:EEC2:240C:BA80 16:43, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again I apologise as I wasn't logged in for my previous response. I cannot stress enough how sorry I am for that edit, my emotions got the better of me and I promise it won't happen ever again. Gorrrillla5 (talk) 16:55, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gorrrillla5: I'm inclined to take that last at face value, but do expect to be indef-blocked if you don't hold to it. - Jmabel ! talk 18:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

KK Vishnoi

[edit]

Violates {{No selfies}}. Jonteemil (talk) 13:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment This guy has an article about himself (en:KK Bishnoi), so the image may be in scope. Permission may be needed, as it is probably not a selfie. Unless the article is deleted, of course. Yann (talk) 14:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I've tagged the file with {{Npd}}. Jonteemil (talk) 14:40, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The bigger issue is copyvio. I have warned the user and deleted one they took from Insta Gbawden (talk) 06:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And he now violated {{Dont recreate}} at File:Krishan Kumar Vishnoi.jpg. Jonteemil (talk) 10:25, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonteemil Vishnoi is in scope so he can upload a photo as long as its free. If we can show that this is a copyvio I will gladly block Gbawden (talk) 10:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You yourself deleted it as copyvio before and now it has been reuploaded. See the log of the file. Jonteemil (talk) 10:50, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not the same image. Same name, not the same image Gbawden (talk) 10:50, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Jonteemil (talk) 11:02, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paulnguyenun

[edit]

User:Paulnguyenun seems to be a vandalism only account. They were already blocked for it once by @Túrelio: for the same thing. So I think an indef block is in order this time. Adamant1 (talk) 01:14, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Globally blocked Gbawden (talk) 06:37, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated {{No advertising}} violations. Jonteemil (talk) 10:24, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also consider deleting and protecting File:Exilamer.jpg from recreation. Jonteemil (talk) 10:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets

[edit]

sockpuppets of

one of the socks has already been tagged by Achim55 but not blocked. Jonteemil (talk) 11:35, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have blocked the first 2 for abusing multiple accounts. Will defer to Achim on the other Gbawden (talk) 13:20, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On investigating, clearly sockpuppet, all 3 now blocked ✓ Done Gbawden (talk) 13:31, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Betulalenta007

[edit]

Violates {{Dont recreate}}. Jonteemil (talk) 13:20, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I only see one potential case of recreate. A warning should suffice, something that you have done. I don't see a need to bring them here Gbawden (talk) 13:35, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, see log. First he recreated the file, whereupon I warned him with {{Dont recreate}}. Then he again reuploaded the same file after the warning. So there are two cases of recreation on the same file. Jonteemil (talk) 13:45, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paulantoniou

[edit]

Reuploads the same copyvio for like the fifth time, under a new name, and has been warned with {{End of copyvios}} yesterday. Jonteemil (talk) 14:37, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked for a week, file deleted. Yann (talk) 16:22, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zabezt

[edit]

Account entirely dedicated to making reverts on File:Somali Civil War (2009-present).svg. Adding failed verification citations, and removing citation needed templates. Ecrusized (talk) 15:00, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

False, I’ve done edits besides this map. Zabezt (talk) 15:37, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You really think that? All I’ve been trying to do is remove your map because it’s plain wrong. And I’ve done way more than focus on 2 files. What do you think I was doing for the past month? Dedicate my whole day to try to delete your file? Get real. Zabezt (talk) 16:23, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

154.121.105.119

[edit]

I'm trying to mark File:Herpestes ichneumon numidicus - Algeria.jpg for deletion but this IP keeps reverting me. I would assume the IP is the uploader Anes syh. Jonteemil (talk) 15:14, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done I blocked the IP for a week, and Anes syh indef. for socking. All files deleted. Yann (talk) 16:19, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guy9t64e85034543-54309

[edit]

The contributions of this user are probably copyright violations and/or useless for Commons, given the nonsense they've contributed on enwiki. However, I'm not confident enough to tag them for speedy deletion myself, since I'm blind and can't really use reverse image search tools. If some advanced users/admins could take a look, it would be appreciated. Thanks! Graham87 (talk) 04:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked, file deleted. Yann (talk) 10:53, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ecrusized

[edit]

This user made a map file for the Somali Civil War because the other ones didn’t cite any sources, when I found a source for one of the other maps (which was better because it was sourced from a website meanwhile Ecrusized’s map was sourced from Twitter.) I put the map back up on the Somali Civil War Article. He then went to the file I sourced, REMOVED my source, and replaced it with the map he made with the Twitter source, arguing that the file never had a source in the first place. And to top it all off, he’s not even defending his map in anyway way other than saying “none of the other ones have a source.” Zabezt (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zabezt: Stop this revenge request. You need to come to a consensus with other participants. This is essential, as Commons is by definition a collaborative project. Yann (talk) 17:08, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I’m trying to start a conversation now, but I highly doubt he’ll respond or care. Zabezt (talk) 17:25, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is a report with no diffs, and I'm certainly not going to look at all of someone's work and try to guess what edits might be problematic. If this is about File:Somali Civil War (2009-present).svg, I've added it to my watchlist and will be keeping an eye on the talk page. Please do see my first question there, trying to sort out even the intent of the map. I see nothing here calling for admin action beyond my trying to keep future discussion on track and to make appropriate edits on behalf of someone who cannot edit the file. - Jmabel ! talk 19:04, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
