Block request for User:Setincho

Setincho (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  - The user has uploaded many copyvios before, and in their recent uploads they try to make it look like the images they upload are not copyvios. For example, they have uploaded a cropped image of screenshot of Google Maps (File:Ingreso Complejo Jorge Griffa 1.jpg) and then when a user marked it for copyvio they edited manually the photo and they said it is a different photo (File:Ingreso Complejo Jorge Griffa 2.jpg), I made a collage to point out the things that were edited for easy viewing (link). Due to the already large history of copyvios and now with the recent photoshop of images that I do not believe can be considered done in good faith, I believe this user should be blocked. nicolas talkpage★★★ 22:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Shit stirring is a relatively benign colloquialism, which it appears I incorrectly assumed is more well known than it is.

Could you please elaborate the reason for this decision? The images I have uploaded are all free of copyrights and gave more insights for the particular pages. It feels that removing all of them is bit harsh without explaining reasonable facts.
I suggest to wikipedia team to re-consider the reporting strategy, before remove uploads or banning the user right away just because someone reported. Viru96 (talk) 05:11, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Let me know is there a way to recover the uploads if this reporting is invalid @Billinghurst @Jeff G. Viru96 (talk) 05:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Picking three more or less at random:
  • File:MahamayaGirlsCollege crest.png: gives a source of https://mahamayagirlscollege.lk/school-crest/ (a link that doesn't work for me) and an unexplained date of 1932-01-14 (hard to say for what: it could be the date of a related design, but the graphic itself is clearly computer-generated so can't be from that era). Claims PD-US but gives no rationale, doesn't indicate anything about copyright status in Sri Lanka.
  • File:Dharmaraja College War Heroes' Memorial.jpg: Photo of a memorial, apparently in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has no freedom of panorama, so if the memorial is still copyrighted it is certainly not OK. Says {{Cc-zero}} and "author unknown" (an unlikely but not impossible combination that would require some evidence). Source given is just a domain (dharmaraja.lk), no specific URL so there is no way to check it.
  • File:Amarasiri Kalansuriya.jpg: photograph, dated 2023-04-01. Source is https://www.adaderana.lk/news/89496/veteran-actor-amarasiri-kalansuriya-passes-away. It's the first photo there. Described as PD-US (which frankly beggars belief, and no rationale is given). Why would this image be in the PD in the U.S. (or anywhere)? Source page says "Copyright ©2024 Ada Derana." No idea whether that is legit for the photo, but that's really neither here nor there: no reason to think it is PD or free-licensed.
So, I can't say that there is no possibility that any of Viru96's uploads are OK, but if I had been the one who sampled and saw this, I'd probably have said "just delete it all, and if there is something that's OK, or even some class of things that should be OK, the user can make a specific case for it in an undeletion request."
@Viru96: with all due respect, it looks like you are trying to upload a lot of different types of things, with a lot of different copyright issues. When your block expires, I strongly suggest that unless you want to undertake a "crash course" on copyright, public domain, valid licenses for Commons, etc. you confine yourself to some narrower area(s) for a while (giving you a chance to learn the rules about those areas), and maybe find a mentor who is willing to review your uploads for a while to see if you are getting it right. I strongly suggest that until you have a better grasp of this you not make assertions/guesses that things are in the public domain when the source says no such thing.
By the way, thank you for being generally clear about your sources, which made this much easier to sort out than it might otherwise have been. - Jmabel ! talk 06:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

 Comment @Viru96: When you have reputation for copyright violations, and I am not seeing metadata in images that indicates that they are yours, and I am seeing copyright violations; you are not going to have someone picking through your uploads on a case-by-case basis. As I asked, please take your conversations about your copyright problems, the deletions and your understandings to Com:VPC.

I, as an admin on enwiki, have been dealing with socks of Vinayvinyill (talk · contribs) (see sockpuppet investigation and list of blocked socks) many of whom have also been uploading images with dubious claims of "own work" on Commons. Most, possibly all, these images are of the Kannada actor Darshan. The currently known socks are:

although several new ones have been created almost everyday, recently. Bringing this to the attention of Commons admins so that they can deal with the copyright and socking issues as appropriate. If there is a better venue/process to report this, just let me know; would appreciate a ping since I don't check Commons too regularly. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 04:03, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

L. Beck

Repeatedly and despite warnings, he removes files from the obviously appropriate category, because he misinterprets the term "overcategorization". Although the principles of categorization were explained to him already in December 2023, he clearly refuses to understand and accept them and continues with mass disruptive editing. He removes images of Pravčická brána as the dominant subject from the category of Pravčická brána, formerly he removed images of the chapel in Hřensko from the category of the chapel in Hřensko etc.

ŠJů (talk) 05:16, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Guten Morgen! Ich beschäftige mich schon sehr lange eingehend mit dem Kategoriensystem hier auf Commons und übrigens auch mit Themen wie dem Editwar. Es ist ja schön, dass du eine Diskussion gestartet hast (bei der du mich ganz nebenbei gesagt persönlich diskreditierst), führst aber weiterhin unbegründet deine Änderungen durch, die eben schlicht ergreifend zur Überkategorisierung und damit in einer solch großen Kategorie zu massiven Chaosproblemen führen. Auch wenn es deine eigenen Bilder sind, hast du dich an die Richtlinien und Standards beim Kategorisieren von Bildern zu halten. Lukas Beck (talk) 05:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes exactly. The principles of categorization must first be understood before one can apply them. If some individual has not understood the principles and rules and disrupts the categorization and causes chaos with mass disruptive editing, it is necessary to solve it immediately. Your way of interpretation really deviates from the rules and established and community-used practice. If someone does not accept that the photo of Pravčická brána belongs to the category of Pravčická brána, then it is difficult to find a starting point for further discussion. Attempts to explain have clearly failed. --ŠJů (talk) 05:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Du sortierst Bilder doppelt, teilweise dreifach in einen Kategorienbaum ein. Das ist so nicht akzeptabel und genau das ist der Grund, warum wir Richtlinien für COM:Overcat haben. Ich finde es toll, dass du dir die Mühe gemacht hast, sämtliche Unterkategorien für das Prebischtor zu erstellen, aber dann sei auch so konsequent in deinem Handeln und nehme doppelte und dreifache Kategorien raus. Lukas Beck (talk) 05:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

I'd suggest no action, unless they engage in anything problematic. They ain't socking anymore, unless you'd want to waste a CU's time again. Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:52, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Account created to vandalize. Four edits, all disruptive and reverted -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:17, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

 Not done All edits on 26 May 2021. Stale. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:38, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
No warning, nothing to prevent a recurrence? -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
What do you want us to do? Counter-vandalism archaeology? The account last edited over three years ago. There's nothing to be done now. Bedivere (talk) 04:00, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

✓ Warned with {{Test2}}.

The edits have just been reverted today. I find useful to warn the user, so that when he / she reiterates, the block will be easier. In 2024, 2025, or later. Read that on Commons:Blocking policy#Before blocking.
For  information, if you suggest to the lambda users like me not to report, we will just stop using this section next time the vandal operates.
The "archaeology" analogy was not so educative, in my opinion an appropriate and rational explanation would have been useful.

Per Commons:Blocking policy, blocks are preventative and not punitive. The account that hasn't edited in three years isn't likely to edit again. Why should we block? —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 05:55, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
@Matrix: , thanks for your (polite) response. Interesting point of view. Two questions :
  1. After 100% disruption / vandalism in 4 edits, do you think this user is likely to edit constructively later? Is it a good start here? Why don't you block him / her immediately, so we are safe for the future? And if the behavior changes, then a new start will be possible (AND better).
  2. Why has this vandal not been caught earlier? It appears (from today only, just by chance) that the authorship of the images has been diverted during 3 years. Nobody noticed, no user, no admin. Why not reported here or elsewhere? Is counter-vandalism working or are we discouraged to report them in anyway? -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:30, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
    1. There have been cases where vandals have a few years later made constructive edits. Blocking them a few years after they vandalised is simply unnecessary, since blocks are preventative and not punitive. There's also the additional complication the user wasn't warned the first time.
    2. Sometimes subtle vandalism goes unnoticed. It just happens sometimes. I remember reverting some vandalism at File:Edgar Allan Poe Signature.svg from 2015 in 2022! In this case, just revert, warn and move on. Of course, if it is happening recently, then report here.

Not sure if any uploads of the account survive reviews. Enhancing999 (talk) 14:36, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Some are clearly PD (though falsely claimed as "own work"). - Jmabel ! talk 19:35, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Looks to me like uploads include a fair amount of valid PD content, misdescribed and mis-licensed. - Jmabel ! talk 19:50, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
@Krd: seems to have nuked much of it. Haven't seen any PD stuff. Enhancing999 (talk) 20:14, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

User:اضاف

This user has been warned several times for copyright violations and has been blocked in the recent past for it too. Now that their block has expired, they appear to be re-uploading the deleted copyright violations and sourcing them to newly uploaded Flickr files (Commons:License laundering). I've marked a couple files for speedy deletion, but maybe an admin can have a look at the others. Thank you. Marbletan (talk) 19:32, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
