Block request for User:RevengerTime

RevengerTime (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  Removing speedy templates despite warning on talk page. All the best -- Chuck Talk 01:43, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dispite multiple warnings, they are still removing speedy templates, and leaving behind some very interesting edit summaries. All the best -- Chuck Talk 02:04, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done blocked three days. I left a message on your talk page. While I do agree removing the speedy deletion tag is not the happiest approach to such controversies, I don't think it was meant as vandalism and they had a reasonable motive, given that the Vogue Taiwan files (owned directly by Conde Nast) are legitimately released under a CC license. There is no reason to legitimately doubt that. I have blocked Revenge as they used an insult in an edit summary, which is unacceptable. Bedivere (talk) 02:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
and on your side, edit warring over a speedy deletion tag is not fine either. You saw there was disagreement over the speedy deletion tag, you could have nominated the files for deletion yourself. While Commons currently has no formal three revert rule, this doesn't mean that edit warring is acceptable. That is why I have issued a three day block for you too. I am open to reviewing an unblock request if you make one. You are a very active and seemingly experienced user and should know better how to handle these situations. --Bedivere (talk) 02:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Ahtisamanalo

Name of a currently living or recently deceased notable person — doclys (❀) 07:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Soft-blocked. ─ Aafī (talk) 10:23, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User has repeatedly uploaded images from the web as his own. His talk page is filled with deleted images because of copyright and I traced 6 them to their source:

  • Commons:Deletion requests/File:دريد أحمد درغام.jpg
  • Commons:Deletion requests/File:أديب مفضي ميالة.jpg
  • Commons:Deletion requests/File:حازم قرفول.png
  • Commons:Deletion requests/File:نذير عقيل.png
  • Commons:Deletion requests/File:محمد جلال قضيماتي.jpg
  • Commons:Deletion requests/File:رياض ديار بكرلي.jpg
    The user doesn't understand copyright law. On his talk page he responded to another violation with: "ا اخي الكريم الصورة موجودة بالمنطقة عندي و انا ابن المنطقة اي خرق و اي حقوق تتحدثوناتمنى ان ترجع الصورة" which translates to "The picture is in my area, and The picture if from my region. What violation and what rights are you talking about? I hope that the picture will be returned."
    Or in another violation: صار عندي يقين مليار بالمئةانه لايوجد معيار واضح للتطوير العمل الويكي فقط مبني على شخصنة لا ااكثر فا النشر موجود على الواقع لا من كوكب ثاني مثال واحد لا للحصر الشاعرة و الكاتبة و الروائية و اقاصة السورية فوزية المرعي اسم معروف وقامة واعطيت المواقع للستزادة منكم و النضر فيما اكتب مهما كتبت انا و انتم لايغيربارض الواقع بشيء الموضوع في هذه الحالة عندكم امانة ووجدان which translates to "I am 100% sure that there is no clear requirement to contributing to wiki. Its all built on personal feelings nothing more. An example is Fouzi Maury which is a known name and I have given a source but you are not thinking in reality"
    he was given final warning 4 years ago: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D9%88%D8%AF_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D8%A8%D9%88%D8%B1#c-Patrick_Rogel-2019-12-01T13:27:00.000Z-Copyright_violations_2 but has continued uploading copyrighted images Quick-ease2020 (talk) 12:14, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
