Interruption from certain bnwiki editors in wikimedia commons campaign

[edit]

We are organizing Wiki Loves Earth in Bangladesh 2024 from Commons:Project Korikath. We have received interruption during our CNBanner and Massmessage. The rationale stated is, the organzers (including me) of this campaign is blocked on bnwiki and so I can't organize the campaign on commons.

There is already one RfC on meta regarding my bnwiki block. There is another RfC regarding alleged disruptive editing by the individual who is most actively involved in the aforementioned disruptions. This person threatened one of our contributors over facebook messenger and made him remove (one of over forty) his uploads from our last wikimedia commons campaign, we have evidence of that. The same person got engaged in an edit war a few days ago with our contributor on wikidata. There are several wmf t&s cases against these certain people.

I am not engaging with bnwiki anymore and investing my skill, network and effort for Wikimedia Commons. Since all the campaigns arranged by me or my team is taking place on commons, bnwiki is irrelevant there and demand of removing bnwiki editors from our massmessage list, removing CNBanner from all user with Bangla as the interface language from all wikis (including commons) is completely irrelevant and it disregards the autonomy of other projects considering the fact that a language can't be owned by anyone. I am raising this matter to the community since the insentisity of disruption is raising everyday. If we did anything unconstructive which is harmful to wikimedia commons, we are open to the consequences and discussion. But we don't want anyone outside wikimedia commons to disrupt our wikimedia commons campaigns and projects.--Mrb Rafi (talk) 18:49, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that bn-wiki can prevent you from putting banners on their wiki and messaging users on their wiki, and that is not anything Commons can affect.
Of course you can message the same users on Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 04:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it has been said quite a number of times that non-Commons dramas should not be used to disturb contributors/contributions on Wikimedia Commons. Most necessarily, when those dramas harm campaigns that contribute to the overall development of Wikimedia Commons. Bangla Wikipedia drama in this case should not be used to hunt/kill any activity here however I don't really know how CNBanners work but citing that drama for it to be entirely disabled on Commons from bn-language interface editors feels very odd. ─ Aafī (talk) 18:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shocking to see that two bnwiki admins, ordered a commons admin, on bnwiki, to remove something on commons.
The above-mentioned user's behavior specifically is problematic. He threatened me also over Facebook messenger as I am a contributor of this initiative and told me to stop contributing. I know several contributors who experienced the same. Tanvir Rahat (talk) 13:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case please contact meta:Trust and Safety. This not nothing we can resolve here. GPSLeo (talk) 14:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This incident does significantly impacts Wikimedia Commons. Blocking the CNBanner or mass message on Wikimedia Commons should be invalid without a community consensus on Wikimedia Commons. Every user, regardless of interface language, should have access to the CNBanner on Wikimedia Commons.
I found the information of several existing T&S cases and law enforcement investigations against the mentioned individuals. So, T&S is informed.
The abuse of advanced rights and on-wiki influence by these individuals must be confined to bnwiki, where there is an ongoing RfC addressing this monopolization. If these individuals aim to block a CNBanner or mass message on Commons, we require a specific community consensus from Commons explicitly stating this prohibition. Before reaching such a clear community consensus, blocking any CNBanner or mass message on wikimedia commons is invalid and an abuse of power.
Evidence of cross-wiki vandalism by these individuals is obvious in the above text and other linked docs. Since this abuse undermines Wikimedia Commons' existence as an autonomous wikimedia project, the Commons community retains the authority to take appropriate corrective measures. Ifteebd10 (talk) 09:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Banners are also nothing we can discuss or decide on Commons. This has to be discussed and decided on Meta. GPSLeo (talk) 13:42, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This incident is unlike regular vandalism. The user(s), particularly the one mentioned above, are abusing their advanced rights to disrupt another campaign on a different Wikimedia project. Due to the severity of this behavior, the consequences should be stricter than those for typical vandalism.
I recommend a short-term block for User:আফতাবুজ্জামান to emphasize that vandalizing major Wikimedia Commons campaigns will not be tolerated, especially when it involves citing drama from other projects. Ahnaf Tahmid Manan (talk) 18:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

3 апреля данный участник загрузил файлы с нарушением лицензии. 15 апреля User:Aafi выдал ему флаг автопатрулируемого, указав, что тот якобы является «достаточно опытным и заслуживающим доверия участником». Прошу лишить Quick1984 флага автопатрулирующего за подлог лицензии. --Engelberthumperdink (talk) 15:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Лишение флага станет возможным, если он будет ошибиться с файлями, загруженные после 15 апреля. Taivo (talk) 11:11, 31 May 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]

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]

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]
