Yusaya 94038917

[edit]

Uploading COM:PERSONAL files and treats talk page as a testing page of "writing numbers to 200", "one number per one edit"! I cannot control that user's problematic behavior.

User:Sparmelt

[edit]

New user, only contribution is COPYVIO porn. C.Suthorn (@Life_is@no-pony.farm - p7.ee/p) (talk) 11:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done No regular pattern. I deleted their only upload as a copyvio and issued them first warning. Users should be reported only if they don't desist even after a final warning. ─ Aafī (talk) 12:48, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@C.Suthorn: I notified Sparmelt for you, as you should have done.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Vipulbambardekar

[edit]

Vipulbambardekar (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  is only uploading publicity images of a resort in India. He has been blocked in English Wikipedia for the same reason. Pierre cb (talk) 12:57, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pierre cb: I don't see evidence of him having been blocked there with that account name. Was that with a different account name?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Look at the comment for en:User:Vipulbambardekar where his user page was deleted for using the photomontages of images from https://foresthillstala.com/ uploaded in Commons Pierre cb (talk) 13:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pierre cb: That is not "blocked", that is "userpage deleted due to en:WP:CSD#G11".   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:57, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. No activity after you warned him/her. Taivo (talk) 14:31, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Alterbulat

[edit]

Alterbulat (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) New copyvios after two long-term blocks: File:Заседание Парламента ЧР 2.jpg, File:Анна Янц.jpg, File:Бувайсар Пасхаев.jpg, File:Pashaev Buv.jpg and more. 188.123.231.51 17:44, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done User blocked. Please tag the images that need deleting so they can be handled. Thanks. Bedivere (talk) 17:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I deleted speedily multiple uploads as copyvios. Taivo (talk) 20:54, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jamhuri Binti Talib

[edit]

Jamhuri Binti Talib (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) , clearly not here to build. Looks like they are testing or spamming something here. Lemonaka (talk) 11:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. User is warned, nonsense reverted. Taivo (talk) 20:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Allforrous

[edit]

Allforrous (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

Category spam. Re-created categories previously deleted following CfD consensus, reverted edits to get rid of deletion notices (here, here calling it "vandalism"), reverted edits that add a ton of unnecessary categories, some of which were deleted and then re-created (e.g. here, here, here etc.) After having several notices put on their profile (which were not responded to) they re-created Category:Space Jam: A New Legacy characters instead. There is a talk page notice from Jmabel from last week that seems to indicate they have a habit of creating superfluous categories. ReneeWrites (talk) 16:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see also my remarks and Allforrus's nearly content-free response at User_talk:Allforrous#Category:History_and_events. - Jmabel ! talk 17:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really get what the issue is here since they have been a member since 2010 and have almost 50,000 edits. Their response to your comment is just weird to. Is it possible someone highjacked their account or something? Or maybe they died and it got taken over by a family member who happens to be a child? --Adamant1 (talk) 17:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Category spam? --Allforrous (talk) 23:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Allforrous: while you do quite a bit of good work, including the creation of a fair number of good categories, I believe that you create more really weirdly inappropriate categories than any other significantly experienced user. Besides Category:History_and_events which I called you out over, there has also been Category:Animations of epistemology, Category:Videos of special, and Category:Historical persons (unlike the others apparently not deleted, but currently empty), not to mention these recreations of categories that there had already been consensus to delete. It is hard to understand how, with this much work under your belt, you haven't gained more of an understanding of what is and is not appropriate in this area. - Jmabel ! talk 04:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done 2 weeks block limited to category namespace. --A.Savin 12:16, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is a user allowed to blank their user page in a manner that hides the fact that they've been blocked? - Jmabel ! talk 15:38, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we've ever reached consensus on what type of talk page blanking is permitted on Commons. I'm not particularly bothered by it; the block log exists for a reason. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:41, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bcxfu75k

[edit]

While this user was noticed about copyvio warn and many deletions due to mis-using GJSTU-2.0 license, this user didn't stop uploading unfree photos;File:秋篠宮家2023年.jpg, File:愛子内親王殿下のお誕生日に際してのご近影1.jpg, File:悠仁親王殿下のお誕生日に際してのご近影2.jpg and File:Ｊアラートについて聞いてみた（井上咲楽）.png. Netora (talk) 14:34, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done blocked two weeks Bedivere (talk) 16:53, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:RUI Thomas Fan

[edit]

RUI Thomas Fan (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

Was blocked indefinitely on Wikipedia for both editing and responding on their talk page (see here) and refuses to let the situation go (see my talk page). TheWikiToby (talk) 17:49, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Both users blocked one week. Please behave. Bedivere (talk) 18:23, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't at all see why User:TheWikiToby was blocked here. Can someone fill me in on what I'm missing? - Jmabel ! talk 20:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel basically feeding a troll and bringing en.wikipedia drama along the way. I wouldn't object an unblock if they get the point of the block. Bedivere (talk) 21:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They (User:TheWikiToby) should be unblocked, I fail to see why they should be blocked like Jmabel. Blocks are supposed to be preventative not punitive. Bidgee (talk) 23:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is not a punitive block at all. You can just have a read at their talk page. They were just feeding a troll while at the same time importing a foreign controversy, by responding to obvious trolling. This is obviously just my stance and how I think the issue can be settled for a moment, given that they were given only one-week blocks. TheWikiToby has not asked for an unblock and I have already said I don't oppose such action but they should acknowledge they were at fault by feeding an obvious troll and bringing drama here from the English Wikipedia. "Please behave". Bedivere (talk) 02:02, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

user:Odinbait

[edit]

Odinbait (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) After the 'last warning' user is re-uploading copyvio with deliberately false PD rationale: [1]; uses rude language: [2]. 188.123.231.76 13:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked for a week, files deleted. Yann (talk) 14:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ardilla07

[edit]

Ardilla07 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) The user insists on uploading an image classified as fair use and insists that it is in the public domain in the United States (when it is not even from that country). Also insists on an external Telegram permission and doesn't show a formal permission via COM:VRT, and tries to remove the maintenance template. Taichi (talk) 07:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment The file was deleted by EugeneZelenko on 2 June and deleted by myself on 10 June Gbawden (talk) 07:11, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done. I warned the user, all uploads are already deleted. Taivo (talk) 09:36, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
