Bad redirection

Please, may you revert the mistake of JuTa (images are different !) (voir aussi la discussion (fr)).   <STyx @ (I promote Geolocation) 12:58, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

PS: looking his discussion page User talk:JuTa/Archive 61, it seems that this user don't do a good job. — Preceding unsigned comment added by STyx (talk • contribs) 13:00, 3 August 2023‎ (UTC)Reply[reply]

The problem was that User:Sarangbot overwrote your original File:Arch dam 12x12 se.svg image with a duplicate of File:Arch dam 12x12 sw.svg. Most likely User:JuTa didn't look at the file history. I'll fix this. - Jmabel ! talk 14:35, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Template:MonumentID

Several editors are changing the default behaviour of Template:MonumentID in a disruptive manner. The issue they are raising does needs resolving, but it needs more work to make the transition than just changing the settings abruptly - see the ongoing discussion at Template_talk:MonumentID#autocat_yes?_no!. I'd appreciate neutral input into this, and perhaps template protection. The template has 73,408 transclusions right now, so edit-warring about it is disruptive. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:09, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You are the one that is being disruptive as you have been warned 6 months ago to the problem that this template and its stupid autocategorization "leaves images already categorized to subcategories in the main category and it is impossible to remove from the main category".
You had months to "make the transition" and yet you did exactly zero and still want to do zero even others have showed you several categories with dozens or hundreds of images hanging in the main category, even when they already have been subcategorized for several years. Tm (talk) 22:05, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Protected. Mike, although you have the technical ability to bypass the protection, please do not do so. Reach a consensus on the talk page. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:55, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mdaniels5757: I was trying to buy more time to solve the problem properly without leaving photos uncategorised, but I think I can work around it a different way, proposed on the talk page. Thanks for the intervention, and I won't bypass the protection. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 07:51, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello; it would appear that Alizadehzahra4036 and Alizadeh.zahra1393 are the same user (based on uploads, and both having the sole purpose of promoting Hadi Bagheri cross-wiki). Tol (talk | contribs) @ 18:07, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Traditional specialities guaranteed

Hello, I need help for moving Category:Traditional Specialities Guaranteed of France and Category:Traditional Specialities Guaranteed of Latvia in Category:TSG by country with the name Category:TSG of France and Category:TSG of Latvia. All the other categories in Category:TSG by country are labeled "Category TSG of <nation>" and so are Category:PDO by country and Category:PGI by country.-- Carnby (talk) 16:42, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Carnby: The usual place to request a clearly uncontroversial category move is User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. I think the instructions there should be self-evident. - Jmabel ! talk 17:52, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

DR never added to the logs

Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Lingua Libre pronunciation by Lepticed7 needing renaming was never added to the logs so it was never closed, and the logs were deleted. I recreated the logs and added this DR to it but that didn't catch any admin's attention. Would any admin be willing to close this one and redelete the, then, empty logs?

User:آیت الله محمدتقی پورمحمدی

The user has a name against Commons:Username policy (using a well-known name) and only uploads copyvio pictures of that person. HeminKurdistan (talk) 11:44, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Like you, I doubt that they are محمدتقی پورمحمدی, and I do think that it may well be worth dropping a note on their talk page. However, I don't understand Farsi, and that person is an Iranian cleric. @HeminKurdistan: do you happen to have knowledge of Farsi and, if so, would you be willing to leave them a note on their talk page explaining that they need to either e-mail VRT if they are indeed who their username implies them to be, or change it if they are not that person?
I'm not really sure that a block is necessary here; their last contributions to Commons appears to have been in 2017. If they come back to Commons, see your note, and change their username, then I think that this would be resolved. Likewise, if they never come back to Commons (which is probably a fair assumption), a block wouldn't actually be preventing anything. If they come back and continue to upload copyvio without addressing the concern about their username, a block might be warranted at that time, but I don't see a block as being warranted now. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:43, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's reasonable. I will leave them a message. HeminKurdistan (talk) 15:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for leaving them a message. I think we can mark this section as resolved. Please let me know if there are any updates. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 16:17, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sure. Thank you for your help. HeminKurdistan (talk) 17:51, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Stalking by Chamaemelum

Chamaemelum is indef blocked on Wikipedia for disruption and was site-banned twice by consensus from over 25 users [1]. The user has also uploaded a lot of copyrighted material onto Wikipedia which is being deleted by admins [2]. The user has been uploading some copyrighted photographs onto Commons which were deleted. Now they are adding incorrect copyright licence tags. On the Wikipedia Fringe Noticeboard there was a discussion last month about Chamaemelum's possible copyvio on Commons. I volunteered to help clean up those photographs. Another user had already tagged the photographs and they were removed.

Chamaemelum is now following me around on Commons submitting images I have uploaded for deletion out of revenge [3], [4]. The same user has also uploaded this template and is putting them on talk-pages of these images that I uploaded [5] which is totally unacceptable behaviour. The same user is also sending me harassing emails.

I have been on Commons since 2019 and have uploaded hundreds of old photographs. As a historian I usually upload photographs published before 1928. Only recently for the first time did I decide to upload images from YouTube. The template they have created and are uploading to talk-pages is unacceptable.

Chamaemelum also blanks their talk-page so you cannot have a conservation with them. This user reeked havoc on Wikipedia and I can see they will do the same here. Psychologist Guy (talk) 19:36, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They've nominated two images of yours that seem to be taken from non-free Youtube files, and they've uploaded a picture of what a CC label looks like on YouTube, which is hardly unacceptable. I don't see either of those actions as problematic.--Prosfilaes (talk) 20:49, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is a user that is banned for disruption and copyright. They have sent me harassing emails blaming me and others for their ban. The [6] template they have created has only been added to two images I uploaded and not any other users images. The image has not been created in good faith, it was made to prove a point, and they created that template only to add to images I uploaded, it is harassment. If the image was being used elsewhere I would understand but it is being used only to target me. This was done in revenge because Chamaemelum was uploading copyrighted photographs that were flagged for deletion. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:47, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Just stopping in to clarify here; I've never communicated off-wiki with Psychologist Guy in any capacity, and I've never sent emails to anyone about anything related to a ban. Chamaemelum (talk) 21:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
