One contribution, deleted as out of scope though it is not obvious to me that it should have been, given fr:Rabii Zammouri. @Alachuckthebuck: can you explain your reasoning here? Usually we do not consider it inappropriate to upload a picture of someone who is Wikipedia-level notable even if you may have a strong connection to that person. If there is a copyright issue, sure, but that isn't what you said, you said this is out of scope, which I don't see. How is this vandalism (or even in any way bad)? - Jmabel ! talk 19:39, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Faiza Digital is a company name, thus the account implies shared use. I can't remember the exact reason, as I went on a New file patrolling stint, and nominated 75+ files for speedy deletion, and I don't remember the reason for this specific image. Sorry I can't provide more detail. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 21:00, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

I still completely fail to see how any of this constitutes vandalism. Yes, if they are using the name of an organization, that requires a verified account, so it would be reasonable to tell them that they need either to verify the account or change their account name (or drop this account and start one with a more appropriate name, since this one has barely been used). But, again, nothing to do with vandalism. - Jmabel ! talk 00:23, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

AlkyzawyHsyen

User: AlkyzawyHsyen (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: I noticed that this user, whose vandalism I reported here in June, is at it again. He has again added references to terrorism to the captions of several files related to Syria, and has also swapped the Arabic captions of the Baath Party and Palestinian flags. You can check his edits since October (there are not many) to see this. I know that User:Jmabel has notified him that he will be blocked if he continues his vandalism. I think it is time to implement this warning. I contacted Jmabel but received no response. 5.142.178.40 05:05, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

The "response" was Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#AlkyzawyHsyen. I cannot be the one to block someone for text in a language I cannot properly read. I think this is almost certainly worthy of a block, and I pinged the only two Arabic-speaking administrators there.

By the way, while I think this is almost certainly worthy of a block (but, again, I will not do that on the basis of a machine translation from a language I absoutely do not read), I do not think it qualifies as vandalism. - Jmabel ! talk 05:34, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

  • "Wisit Tongmo" (or "WisitTongmo");
  • "วิศิษฎ์ ทองโม้" (or "วิศิษฎ์ทองโม้");

Reason for reporting: Vandalism, repeatedly removing the superseded templates from File:Greater imperial coat of arms of Germany.svg and File:Middle imperial coat of arms of Germany.svg as well as trying to insert the superseding files into the gallery which could easily confuse anyone viewing the files. When warned to stop in talk page, they asked me to justify, (I did, more accurate eagle), and I then asked to see the policy around superseding files which, despite my efforts, I have been unable to find if it exists. Instead of replying they deleted the entire section and went back to vandalizing the files. OddHerring (talk) 13:08, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Discussions here and here. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 13:13, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

@OddHerring: From this point of view, claiming that its files are superior and supersed other files could just as easily be described as vandalism:
Vandal: OddHerring (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Moreover, using the template without knowing the policy around superseding files could be ill-advised.
In any case, qualifiying its files as "other versions" rather than "superseding files" is far more neutral. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 15:11, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

"Moreover, using the template without knowing the policy around superseding files could be ill-advised."

Is there a policy? I asked before but you just deleted the entire section without answering, which from my point of view, indicates that you realized you were in the wrong. OddHerring (talk) 15:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes I did delete the entire discussion, and I will again.

& OK, so: from your point of view I realized I was wrong and your files are better and supersed other ones.

From the very humble point of view of mine, the other files supersed yours; what's next ?

You might ask admins here about any policy around superseding files

--Kontributor 2K (talk) 15:35, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

By the way, just because a file has been unilaterally declared "superseded" does not mean that all its categories should be removed (diff).
This is true vandalism, while the superseding file has been properly categorised instead. The same thing happened with the 2nd file (diff).
Files should not be uncategorized just because there is another version online
However, it could be argued that this is just my point of view --Kontributor 2K (talk) 16:31, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I did not remove all of the categories from those files. That is just factually incorrect. OddHerring (talk) 16:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, you removed only six and eight categories, in which the superseding files have been correctly placed (there were no miscategorisations). This is a de-categorisation, added to a unilateral declaration that the files are being superseded.

Files should not be uncategorized just because there is another version online

However, it could be argued that this is just my point of view --Kontributor 2K (talk) 16:51, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Strange how this never came up until now. This all reads like post hoc justification for your behavior earlier. I'm going to just wait for an admin. OddHerring (talk) 16:55, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I've had far more respect for your files than you've had for others', and have nothing to add either. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 17:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

All of the above is a bit confusing. Took me a few seconds to realize that "the superseded template" meant "the {{Superseded}} template", not a template that had been superseded.

Whatever is going on here clearly isn't vandalism. It is two users disagreeing, neither of whom seems to have the intent to harm the project. Someone might be entirely wrong, but "vandalism" implies ill intent.

This particular board might not be the best place to work this out, but here we are. @OddHerring: : could you please make a clear statement what Kontributor 2K is doing wrong, preferably with some diffs to support that and an explicit link to what policy you think is being violated? And then Kontributor 2K, could you respond to that? And could you please do this without questioning each other's motives?

Also: I'm not aware of any policy that says you remove any otherwise accurate categories from superseded files. OddHerring, if you are aware of a policy along those lines, please do link it. - Jmabel ! talk 19:42, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I think it should be noted, but Kontributor 2K had previously denied an an overwrite request for several files for reasons that still allude me, since they claimed I did not justify the request based on accuracy, when I did, maybe not super clearly, but if their understanding of English is that bad that they can't read the second half of "It's mostly an aesthetic difference, but the eagle from File:Wappenschild des Deutschen Kaiserreiches (1889-1918).svg is a lot closer to the original depiction", maybe they shouldn't handle English overwrite requests?

Since I didn't really understand the reason for the denial, and their handling of it gave me a bad feeling, I decided to just upload my updated versions separately, which may be bad form or against some policy, but clearly it isn't being enforced considering the hundreds and hundreds of low quality, duplicative, or just completely unneeded files I've seen on Commons.

Anyway, the relevance here is that the files I uploaded after he denied my request are the ones superseding the files they are freaking out over being superseded.

As for the specific polices being violated, I don't know... the policy against vandalism? Look, I tried to talk to them about the issue and figure out what their opposition was, but they just deleted the entire section from their talk page without replying. That seemed like the behavior of a vandal to me. OddHerring (talk) 20:10, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

One small correction, I'm the one who denied it. Kontributor 2K couldn't accept or deny your request since the allow overwriting template can only be used by the original uploader or patrollers. Abzeronow (talk) 20:20, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, that only raises the question on why you couldn't read the second half of the above quote, but that's not relevant to this. OddHerring (talk) 20:30, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Also, I removed categories from the superseded files because I didn't want people to mix them up or get confused, because several people (in a unrelated talk page / situation) seemed to have trouble figuring out what the difference was between the files. OddHerring (talk) 20:21, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

1. Users are generally allowed to do pretty much as they like with their talk page. Yes, it is very annoying when someone deletes a question rather than answer it, but that is not vandalism (but Kontributor 2K: if you are not going to engage, then please stay away from the files. It is really not OK to say "I won't talk to you, but everything is going to stay the way I want it.")
2. Oddherring's statement above is not at all what I asked for. There are no diffs; it says Kontributor 2K did something that apparently only an administrator can do; and while I suppose "freaking out" is not quite questioning the other party's motives, a renewed accusation of vandalism is just that. And there are no diffs.

So we're done here, or at least I am. This appears to be a content dispute. Take it somewhere else. Nothing that belongs on this page. - Jmabel ! talk 20:32, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

...what? What's a diff? OddHerring (talk) 20:33, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

@Jmabel

"Yes, it is very annoying when someone deletes a question rather than answer it, but that is not vandalism"

That's not at all what I said. I said that the refusal to talk about the issue showed that they were a vandal and not acting in good faith. Not that deleting things from their own talk page made them a vandal.

Also, ok, they didn't deny the request, but they were called there by the above person and their argument was the reason they denied the request. OddHerring (talk) 20:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I believe that unless there is a pattern around the IP addresses, this is going to be difficult to address in any general way. They each generally upload different images (although there is some repetition) going after different family members.

@Jphwra: The only thing that I can specifically immediately suggest is that when one of these happens, if you report vandalism here and/or mark the image with {{SD|G3}} it will probably be deleted and the account blocked more quickly than if you start a deletion review. {{SD|G3}} means "Speedy deletion as content intended as vandalism, threat, or attack". - Jmabel ! talk 20:34, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@Inertia6084: I see that a fair number of the changes involve disagreement over the name of a person portrayed in an image, and it is very hard for me (or anyone not involved) from what you have written here to quickly determine if they are usually wrong. You don't provide any diffs at all, and this is about a pretty active editor.

@Jmabel: - It's about changing the language with file moving. That's declined multiple times, on multiple files. Then he uploads the same file(s) under his (their) wanted name. Also removes redirects from file moving, which have to be restored by filemovers or others. I'm not the only one who has these problems. I have more things to do, so if you don't see it, than I leave it to the others, although it's possible, my last warning helped.

Mitte27

User: Mitte27 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
Reason for reporting: This user is trying to enforce his POV regarding the naming of sports club categories by force (see also: User talk:Mitte27#Category:FC Bayern Munich and its subcategories, Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/12/Category:FC Bayern Munich, Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 98#Category:FC Bayern München/Category:FC Bayern Munich and its subcategories). The specific occasion for this report is that he started a category-move war by moving the category Category:Polonia Warszawa to the English name. This category, like all of our categories for sports clubs, was originally created under the original (in this case Polish) name Polonia Warszawa, but was moved to the English name Polonia Warsaw in 2019 without any discussion ([7]). I recently reverted this because using the English name is against our commons practice and such controversial category renaming should not happen without a CfD, anyway. On December 15, Mitte27 then moved the category back to the undiscussed title, with the deliberately misleading comment "renamed without discussion". This is clearly vandalism. His solo efforts in the sports clubs categories case are no longer acceptable. By this he causes a lot of extra work for other users and causes a lot of damage. Please strictly warn the user and explain him that this behaviour is not welcome on Commons and will result in serious consequences.
Furthermore, I ask for this cfd to be closed now: Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/12/Category:FC Bayern Munich.
Ping also to User:GPSLeo, User:Jeff G., User:Jmabel. -- Chaddy (talk) 00:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

@Chaddy: Whatever is going on here is obviously not vandalism. You may have an appropriate complaint to bring to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Users, which requires that you notify the user in question. - Jmabel ! talk 00:33, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

On my home wiki, German wikipedia, an edit-war or a page-move war is seen as vandalism. Is that differently seen on Commons? -- Chaddy (talk) 00:36, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes. As used on Commons, vandalism is specifically conduct clearly intended to damage the project. That is why we have a separate board to report it: so it can be shut down fast, and because blatant vandalism does not require notifying the user that you've reported them, because there is no reasonable chance that they can explain their conduct as something acceptable. - Jmabel ! talk 01:04, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

@Grateful1995: While I don't always agree with A1Cafel they are certainly not a vandal.

If you really believe that several DRs filed against your uploads are wrong, argue the case on the DRs. If, indeed, there are several that are egregiously wrong you might have a case for COM:AN/U (but not COM:AN/V). About the wrong-est thing you can do is simply revert the DRs.

problem with abuse filter/error reports (wrongly filtered as "vandalism")

Hi, I know this is not the perfect place, but my last edits got filtered on other pages. Please feel free to move this report to another page:

1. I tried to add a category to a file. I got the error: "An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and it has been disallowed. If this edit is constructive, please report this error."
2. On the linked page dedicated to error reports about abuse filters, editing was also filtered out/blocked, which really seems counterproductive: "Error while creating the report: This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: L T A 257"
3. And then, the inform an administrator page is generally closed for IP edits.

What now? Nothing is wrong with my edit. I would be glad if someone else could add the category to the file (see my first edit attempt here). And maybe someone could adapt that anti-vandalism filter, so "false positives" can effectively be reported. This case is really annoying. Feels like being in a Kafka scenery. Sorry. 2003:E5:3710:4600:4879:103B:12C9:9B66 00:54, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, that filter is needed. Creating an account could help you with the filter. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 03:41, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done blocked for a month, because this is so clear-cut, but @Belbury, this really should have come to COM:AN/U, with a notification on their talk page. There is no indication that this was vandalism (intentional harm to the project), just someone focused on getting particular material out there and not caring about anything else. - Jmabel ! talk 18:03, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

@Jmabel: I figured that clear-cut copyvios after being asked to stop was harming the project, but noted, I'll use ANU for future cases like this.

Do you intend to delete the own-work selfies and I-found-this-online Vogue covers and so on, or shall I open a DR? Belbury (talk) 18:12, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

@Belbury: Please open a DR, or if something is blatant enough (you mention Vogue covers) nominate as a speedy deletion. I looked at a couple of uploads, didn't see anything that reached the level of "OMG, must be deleted ASAP", and considered my job of responding to the request done. In particular, there was certainly nothing about the images that constitutes vandalism, just the usual sort of out-of-scope uploads we get all day. The exact reason I gave this report immediate attention at all (in the midst of doing other stuff) is that AN/V is often where we get reports of someone doing massive, ongoing damage that needs to be dealt with immediately. - Jmabel ! talk 18:42, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Speedy close on a DR?

Would anyone object to a speedy close on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Donald Trump (40238321295).jpg? Image appears to me to be useful only for vandalism; I personally have removed it from 3 articles in 2 different wikis, and I gather others have been having to do the same. I already voted, so I'm probably not the one to make the close. - Jmabel ! talk 16:56, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

• @Jmabel: I'm neutral if it is in scope or not however I wonder why it should be speedy closed, there are number of other digital caricatures in Category:Caricatures of Donald Trump e.g. File:Donald Trump - Caricature (23414300891).jpg already here since 2018 and never nominated for deletion. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:21, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
  • OK, it can float, but it remains the case that it is has been used literally dozens of times for vandalistic purposes. - Jmabel ! talk 00:51, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

    I would propose to rename the file, to enable vandalism checks more easily when the photo is used. For instance into "retouched photo of Trump as clown". Ellywa (talk) 16:19, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

    @Ellywa: your suggested renaming, should one do it while the DR is open or only when it gets closed? I'd suggest the following filename: "Donald Trump - retouched with digitally applied clown make-up.jpg". Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

    @Grand-Duc - you can do the renaming any time I think, please make a note on the DR that the image is renamed, although they will find the redirect of course, which should be kept imho. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 21:48, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
