Copy from the last page:

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Shams948 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  continues with his disruptive behavior regarding the opening & renaming proper categories, despite friendly advises and warnings. The issue is summarized on his talk page:

  1. In March 2022, I asked him not to change the names of categories. He obeyed only for a few months and then continued as before.
  2. In December 2023, I repeated the request that he not play with categories, elaborated on the individual problems he was doing, and friendly offered my help in further categorization. His response shows that he considers the Commons a battleground as he threatens that the edits must be returned to his desired state, and he even indulges in crazy conspiracy theories about being stalked by the Ministry of Intelligence (Persian text).
  3. A few days ago, the same story again: he opens meaningless categories, changes correct category names to wrong ones, adds unnecessary parent categories, mixes cities, villages and counties, etc. Everything as before.

It is obvious that the user is beyond repair and will continue to do damage regardless of warnings. IMHO, deserves either a penalty or at least an admin warning. --Orijentolog (talk) 05:41, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Orijentolog: Please remember to notify the user in question next time. I've done it for you this specific instance. --SHB2000 (talk) 06:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
با عرض سلام و ارادت؛ اینجانب فقط در حوزه سرزمینی خود فعالیت می‌نمایم و قصد تخریب یا خرابکاری ندارم. این صفحات حوزه سرزمینی بنده است و مایل به ارتقاء و تقویت آن هستم. اما به نظر می‌رسد از داخل ایران برخی اماکن دولتی مایل به درز اطلاعات به جهان نیستند و در این باره کارشکنی میکنند مانند این مدیر عزیز. Orijentolog
طرف ما در ایران، مدیران ویکی‌ها نیستند. طرف ما نخست جمهوری اسلامی، سپس دولت، و بعد از آنها مدیران فرهنگستان زبان ایران، و بعد وزارت اطلاعات و بعد سپاه پاسداران که همه می‌خواهند از درز اطلاعات واقع به جهان ممانعت به عمل آورند. با سپاس از همه دوستان ضد سانسور.

User:Korishoulddie99[edit]

Vandal. 186.174.134.132 04:22, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Their single upload should probably be deleted since it's clearly a selfie. I don't know if that alone would qualify them as a vandal at this point though. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This comment shows you look superfically at things. Look at user name, file history, how it was used (in Wikidata and Wikipedia)... 186.174.134.132 04:30, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really sure what the user name is about, but the file isn't being used on Wikidata or Wikipedia. So I don't see an issue there. You really should have been more descriptive when you created this if there was actually an issue. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At least notice that the file describes "penis", "pig", "monster" etc! 186.174.134.132 04:55, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also learn to check the global contributions of vandals, including those deleted within minutes... 186.174.134.132 04:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know "penis" isn't a banned word on here. So I'm not sure what your point is. You clearly having an issue describing the problem though. BTW, it seems that you didn't notify the user about this ANU complaint. I'll spare you the comment about how you should learn to file an ANU complaint properly next time before opening one, but please do it in the future. Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done. I blocked the account indefinitely, because it was created solely to harass somebody. In addition username: for me every username with "should die" in name is very bad. Taivo (talk) 09:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree about the user name. For some reason I read it as one long word that made no sense. Totally inappropriate user name though. --Adamant1 (talk) 10:03, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting mass deletion of @DeepstoneV: 's uploads.[edit]

I have nominated their recently uploaded pictures [1][2] for deletion due to ambiguous copyright information. And a cursory glance at their contribution reveals that almost all of their uploads are copyright violations in one form or another.

For example:

  • This is a zoomed in version of this file [3]
  • This is a higher contrast version of this [4]

To save the community's time i believe any willing admin should scrutinise their uploads. Ratnahastin (talk) 13:36, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dronebogus name calling and bad faith comment[edit]

Dronebogus reported my post as porn. I point out images that are more obviously porn and he started name calling in bad faith NuManDavid (talk) 03:03, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI, but COM:PORN is a thing and at some of the files in that DR clearly seem to cross the line. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:07, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, you should also notify @Dronebogus: about this on their talk page per the text at the top "Notify the user(s) concerned via their user talk page(s)." Although I'm sure they know about it now since I just pinged them, but it's still good practice regardless. Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 03:22, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Literally all I said was “I don’t know why you’re citing the only two quality videos of gay anal sex on Commons in contrast to your low-quality heterosexual pics, unless it’s to come across as homophobic.” (Emphasis retroactive) Instead of refuting or at least just respectfully disagreeing with them, you report me. This is a frivolous bad-faith request; if you don’t want your posts nominated for deletion as porn, or people to think you’re homophobic, don’t post porn or make comparisons that obviously could be read as homophobic (which I never called the user or even thought the user was). Dronebogus (talk) 05:10, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done No admin action needed. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:52, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. I warned NuManDavid and deleted the files. Yann (talk) 07:39, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Continued copyright violations / advertising by User:Mipagolf[edit]

I noticed User:Yann's previous notice on their talk page, and it seems like they are continuing to upload the same copyrighted images seemingly for advertisement purposes, see Special:Contributions/Mipagolf. Palemeditation (talk) 17:18, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alice0815[edit]

Alice0815 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)

Indiscriminately mass-nominated a bunch of files with the same rambling, incomprehensible rationale; mostly posting this here so someone with more patience than will see this and speedy close all these frivolous, invalid nominations. Dronebogus (talk) 10:27, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not the first problem from this account. - Jmabel ! talk 14:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concur, seems to be a rambling form of en:WP:IDONTLIKEIT. See also Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Vandalism/Archive_22#Alice0815.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:51, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: same link I posted.
However, it looks like these are all pictures of one person, a cross-dressed man or MTF transsexual (can't guess from images how someone identifies), many with potentially disparaging file names, and this person seems to be saying it is them, that these were accidentally given free licenses on Flickr, that they are scrubbing them from Flickr and would like them scrubbed here. If I understand correctly, that would be a reasonable courtesy deletion request.
@Alice0815: if I have understood that correctly, please say so here and I would support a courtesy deletion request. Since these are all the same issue, this really should have been done as a Mass deletion request and you certainly should have written the rationale more coherently, but those aren't enormous issues.
I will ask Alice0815 not to make any further edits before replying here. If they abide by that, no need for a block. - Jmabel ! talk 14:59, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hatomizinko3 Hatomizinko3 insults using photo description ＋ Multiple account operation[edit]

This is a story in the Japanese version, but I wasn't sure where to report it, so I decided to report it here.Hatomizinko3 used the photo description to insult me ​​for posting a photo taken with an old camera. I warned him in a user note on the Japanese version of Wikipedia, but he not only recruited me, but also insulted me by saying that the quality of the photos was poor. While we were discussing how to respond, he threatened to find me and told me he didn't care if I was blocked because he would keep posting pictures on the commons. He runs another account on Commons called Hatomizinko. ジョンドウ (talk) 15:44, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ジョンドウ: when you posted here, you should have put a notice at User talk:Hatomizinko3. I have now done that for you. - Jmabel ! talk 18:24, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At File:ジャスティンミラノ 皐月賞 優勝時.jpg, according to Google translate, the original caption "EOSKissX4ごときでとられた写真を貼るんじゃねーよ" means "Don't post photos taken with something like EOSKissX4." @ジョンドウ: I'm not immediately sure why that is supposed to be an insult to you in particular. - Jmabel ! talk 18:28, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you mean by "recruited," that word makes no sense here.
The remark here seems a bit out of line, especially the apparent obscenity of "クソ面白いです, " which I suspect is more extreme in Japanese than its English equivalent. But that is on ja-wiki, not Commons. Similarly for the last link: again, a bit rude, probably particularly unacceptable in Japanese, but I don't see anything that amounts to a threat to "find you." - Jmabel ! talk 18:35, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The word "ごとき" is a word that looks down on the subject and has the meaning of discriminating against old cameras.I don't think it's acceptable to make comments that discriminate in editorial policy because the camera is old. Intimidation refers to the part where both parties "meet and talk" knowing that each other will be at the racetrack. He feels that a person can be identified by the camera model. ジョンドウ (talk) 23:23, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
