•  Comment Sonya7iv, could you clarify the authorship of this image? I believe this is the same image, with different copyright and EXIF data, and seemingly a different author (Tony Enticknap) Julesvernex2 (talk) 13:07, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

   Comment Well spoted Julesvernex2, thanks for that. This is really strange, as, on the one hand, the picture is obviously the same, while on the other hand, the EXIF data here and on Flickr are not identical (check especially the "Original Document ID", which differs). I have the impression that one of both versions has faked EXIF, and now the big question is: which one? --A.Savin 16:11, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  The Flickr image, as far as I can see, was submitted there much longer ago (~2 years) rather than the Commons image, and has higher maximum resolution (5,930 x 3,706) than the Commons image. I don't want to be once again the one who bites newbies, but this is really suspicious. --A.Savin 16:22, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  A.Savin, a little bit of digging has also brought this and this to my attention. Cmao20 (talk) 16:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  Oh well... @Sonya7iv: Any statement? --A.Savin 16:36, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  A.Savin, a couple more: this and this current FPC; this and this. I looked at the metadata of 6/7 images uploaded by this user, and all of them included the watermark metadata Flickr adds to downloads, so the issue may be widespread Julesvernex2 (talk) 18:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  In case of the Kingfisher picture, the Flickr version is indeed a bit smaller than the Commons version, but this is probably due to upscaling: compare the maximum-sized file on Flickr and on Commons. --A.Savin 18:53, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

  Yup, hard to know for sure since this Flickr image in particular is not downloadable. The other cases (e.g. the one above) seem more clear-cut, as the Flickr EXIF goes back to the original raw processing (see HISTORYPARAMETERS here), while the Commons EXIF appears to be only a Photoshop export (here) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julesvernex2 (talk • contribs)

  Disabling downloads doesn't actually do anything, and can be easily defeated by Ctrl+U (show source) and a search for ".jpg". -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:32, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose per discussion above. Sonya7iv has uploaded images from Flickr authors Tony (tickspics), Cimino Del Bufalo, Ian Ireland, Stephen Yang and how many more? --Ivar (talk) 18:36, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

• Also from the author Tony Rawson with this - seems to be a different account from the 'Tony' of the 'tickspics' pictures. Cmao20 (talk) 18:42, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Yeah, probably will have to delete all per COM:PRP. I have to admit that my feelings about "Sonya7iv" were not very good from the beginning on; that's why I avoided to vote on their nominations, despite the fact that some pictures were brilliant. --A.Savin 18:46, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

• Agree. Delete all and an indef block. ("Only way to be sure") I didn't go so far as suspect foul play, but I always thought the photos and choice of motif looked like they were taken by a man. Then again there are all sorts of people. --Cart (talk) 18:53, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

• How very disappointing. Would explain how RAW files were not available. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:02, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

@Iifar, Cmao20, Charlesjsharp, W.carter, and A.Savin: , Julesvernex2, etc, I think we should continue this discussion at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates where perhaps we can together form a list of identified suspect copyvios. Then there can be a DR and an AN/I to discuss deleting the images and any block. This user has uploaded > 100 images over three months, so we need to also consider how this has escaped detection. -- Colin (talk) 19:46, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: Copyvio, now deleted. --Cart (talk) 21:58, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
