Inappropriate behaviour despite warning[edit]

Hello,

@Cyanmax: was warned by @Jmabel: in November 2023 for, among other reasons, making a nasty remark about Nepal on a completely unrelated page. Now he is back on the same page, this time with a remark about air pollution in the same country. Huñvreüs (talk) 15:00, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think some sort of action is in order; I'm going to leave it to someone other than me to decide what. - Jmabel ! talk 16:36, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User notified. Abzeronow (talk) 18:12, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Concerning this, gth can apparently mean either good to hear or go to Hell. Well, I learned something today. Huñvreüs (talk) 20:20, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It can also mean "good to hear". That's one way for plausible deniability i guess? Trade (talk) 20:32, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are u gonna block my account for providing a reliable source and writing GLAD TO HELP? Wow. That's hilarious and hysterical. I didn't know that providing a reliable source and writing GLAD TO HELP is a crime. Anyway, I don't care. Cyanmax (talk) 02:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please calm down and remain cool. I understand your frustration, but getting heated isn't going to resolve things. --SHB2000 (talk) 02:23, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given the context, my natural instinct is to believe they meant "Go to hell", but also AGF... --SHB2000 (talk) 02:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
AGF is certainly important and, for example, would lead a benevolent person to believe that GFY means Good for you. The question being where the limit stands between AGF and naivety. Huñvreüs (talk) 06:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question being where the limit stands between rational thinking and paranoia. We all know that false accusations of hysterical and paranoid people led to the Catholic inquisition and political repression in the Soviet Union. There's nothing criminal with saying "Russia is freezing" or "India is the most polluted country". Facts are facts. Trying to block someone's account for providing a source or writing 3 letters is even more hilarious. Cyanmax (talk) 08:30, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyanmax: this looks like the farthest thing from an apology. There is nothing wrong with saying "Russia is freezing" if it is germane. It is another thing to say it as a dismissive remark responding to praise of Chekhov.
I personally feel like you are trolling: trying to stay just within the lines of what is easily called out as a rules violation without actually stepping over. In general, that is not acceptable behavior here. This is not some sort of game about showing you can still be nasty while precisely following rules. It is a collaborative effort to build a media repository. At some point, behavior like this becomes a problem, worthy of sanctions.
So as an admin here I have two things to say:
  1. If you do accidentally or deliberately step over the line, don't expect even the slightest benefit of the doubt.
  2. Given that you seem to be inclined to use abbreviations that are usually hostile, while claiming to mean other things by them, just stop using them. Again, next time I for one will not give you the benefit of the doubt. - Jmabel ! talk 14:43, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While this discussion is ongoing, may I ask how this new contribution by @Cyanmax: can be considered with respect to Commons:Civility? Huñvreüs (talk) 15:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see nothing problematic about that. What would be a problem there? I might even have tagged the file page with {{Fact disputed}} until this is fixed. - Jmabel ! talk 17:13, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have no issue considering that the fact in question is disputed. It is usually my understanding, however, that requests should not be made using the imperative form and needlessly stressing urgency as if other people were some kind of servants ("Fix the map asap"), but instead, using "please", "could someone…", or any other similar locution. Huñvreüs (talk) 17:31, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hyper-civility is nice, but cannot be required. - Jmabel ! talk 17:48, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
dear, huñvreüs, I am asking u politely to stop stalking me and trying to block me with your ridiculous, absurd accusations. I think this is hysterical. Please, stop exaggerating and demonizing everything I write. Bye. Cyanmax (talk) 18:03, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyanmax: perhaps when someone questions your edit, and is told, basically, "No, that is not a problem," you could refrain from accusing them of saying "ridiculous" and "absurd" things and being "hysterical." Unless you are actually trying to stir up more of a fight, or trying to see if you can manage to be sanctioned, that's a strange choice, to say the least. - Jmabel ! talk 23:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to comment as well, saying that Cyanmax has a history of getting into conflicts with South Asians on other wikipedia pages as well. The user has been the source of numerous temporary bans. SamanthaWinning (talk) 04:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore the user still seems to be getting into conflicts with other users of South Asian descent and/or interested in South Asia despite having numerous warnings and temporary bans. SamanthaWinning (talk) 04:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Don't forget to back up your claims with evidence. Cyanmax (talk) 06:31, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I admit I helped to block several sockpuppet accounts. Why is your account created only 7 days ago? Is there any hidden agenda, revenge? Just a question. Cyanmax (talk) 06:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cyanmax: "Revenge"? You really don't know how to assume good faith, do you? I started out thinking no sanction was in order, but now I'm going to block you for a day, just for the things you've written on this very thread. This isn't particularly either punitive or not punitive; it's just you don't get to use a situation in which numerous people are accusing you of incivility as an occasion to be even less civil. - Jmabel ! talk 14:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Engelberthumperdink[edit]

Engelberthumperdink (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) Systematically insults users who nominate their files for deletion [1] [2], removes deletion templates [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] and so on. The user has multiple blocks for copyright violations. Quick1984 (talk) 17:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Totally out of line. The other blocks were 7 years ago, so they don't have much bearing, but I'll block for a week as a reminder to the user that this conduct is not acceptable. - Jmabel ! talk 19:13, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Quick1984: thank you, by the way, for providing a solid set of diffs. Just "Дебил" in the first one as a way of addressing another user probably is enough for a block. - Jmabel ! talk 19:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, "Дебил" is a "moron". Ymblanter (talk) 19:38, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User:Engelberthumperdink is now asking on his talk page to have his block lifted. It turns out that (as I did not previously know) he has been in conflict with a user whom I have had past issues with myself so I am probably not the admin to carry this forward. Will someone else please take over reviewing the block, etc., and say here that you are doing so? Jmabel ! talk 14:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jmabel, if you look at user's block log for similar violations in his home wiki, you will have no doubt this is his usual behavior, which he is not going to change. Moreover, I can’t understand the reason you consider his offense against one particular user a sufficient basis for the opportunity to insult two completely different ones and even consider it a basis for lifting the block. --Quick1984 (talk) 15:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Quick1984: at this point, I am literally the last administrator you should take this up with. I recused myself because Engelberthumperdink appears to be in conflict with someone with whom I also had a quite major conflict. If you want the details of that conflict, email me privately, I don't see any reason to rehash it publicly. I'm actually a bit amazed to see that the person in question is still a user in good standing. - Jmabel ! talk 17:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Why you keep insulting me and I received a notification about civility? This is the posture of sysop?
      Sounds weird that A.Savin said nothing here, but took actions there, and your very aggressive posture is not reprehend.
      I am not in conflict, he took some actions to retaliate the blocked, and choose one image that I uploaded under a specific context, not even my photo, I don't care, I just saw the context and react to it, he was already blocked when I react to the deletion request, it is a wiki, we all can check.
      And clearly Alexander took the action with no discussion, and had issues on this.
      It is quite weird you lift your action, just because the user did something that could potentially "hurt" me. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 17:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Isn't the username inappropriate? It is obviously related to singer Engelbert Humperdinck Bedivere (talk) 18:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Or the composer whose name he took. But I think given that one person (the singer) took another's (the composer's) as a pseudonym, someone else taking it as a user name and (presumably deliberately) spelling it wrong is not a problem. - Jmabel ! talk 19:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton are you actually asking me to seek sanctions against you? The issue is years in the past, and I've chosen to avoid you, including recusing myself from this matter, rather than pursue sanctions. I don't see any point to doing so at this time, but if you really insist, I suppose I could go back through ancient history and make my case. - Jmabel ! talk 19:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        Present: "I'm actually a bit amazed to see that the person in question is still a user in good standing." This is not avoid.

        And tag me in his talk page is not also avoid.
        Moreover, I am the one that requested to the community to prevent you interact with me, you made a movement to prevent that to happen.
        Persue is the word here, since "ancient history".
        Last msg here, I already gave to 2 cents.- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 20:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

problematic uploads by User:XxakixX[edit]

[12] We can leave the debate over whether Commons should be hosting creeper shots of possibly underaged girls for another day, as these are all clearly watermarked with a copyright notice and therefore should not be hosted on Commons. Just Step Sideways (talk) 17:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Just Step Sideways: They appear to be correctly licensed on Flickr. Are you saying that you have reason to think the "NiteLiter" account on Flickr is not legitimately the account of the photographer? the account's URL (https://www.flickr.com/photos/joe-merritt/) matches the name on the watermark. There is no contradiction between a copyright-notice (watermark or otherwise) and a CC license: you can issue a CC license only if you have a copyright. - Jmabel ! talk 18:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At the risk of repeating myself: if we delete all copyrighted photos on Commons, about 55,000 of my uploads need to be deleted, because I absolutely own the copyright on them and certainly reserve the right to sue anyone who uses them without proper attribution and won't fix that when contacted. I don't use watermarks, but a watermark like this is a perfectly valid mechanism to make it nearly impossible to fail to give credit. - Jmabel ! talk 18:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The scope issue is a whole different matter, but that would be a normal DR. - Jmabel ! talk 18:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Agree with Jmabel about the watermark and statement of ownership being no reason for deletion. (Creative Commons licenses are a form of copyright. While the "c" symbol more commonly indicates all rights reserved, in context it is clear that is not the photographer's intention, since a more specific cc license is specified.) From a quick look, both Commons user XxakixX and the Flickr photographer mentioned seem to have good in scope contributions combined with what seems blatant voyeurism. I agree that "creeper" shots are a problem, though off hand am unsure of the best way to minimize them beyond deletion requests. ("Don't be a creeper" seems a good guideline, but may not be very useful without specific definitions.) So I *do* think there should be some discussion "over whether Commons should be hosting creeper shots", but the issue is wider than User:XxakixX -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Oppose any action per Jmabel (the DR can be dealt with separately). I do not think there is any specific behavioral issue that needs to be discussed here any further. --SHB2000 (talk) 04:47, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I just started a mass deletion request for some of these images at Commons:Deletion requests/Creepshots uploaded by User:XxakixX (I don't think that descriptor is unfair here) but there's hundreds if not thousands of these images, most not included in the DR (as I have not gone through hundreds of the uploads) and they're still going. I left a message on xakixX's user page but the uploads have thus far continued unabated. David Fuchs (talk) 19:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for that David, we can go that route. I admit I apparently jumped to certain conclusions upon seeing the watermarks. Just Step Sideways (talk) 18:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism and edit waring by User talk:Broichmore[edit]

A while ago I had added several categories related to postcards and where the picture was taken to File:Restaurant Ship 'Cabrillo' and Venetian Gardens, Venice, Cal. Pc-002-832.tif. @Broichmore: subsequently removed the categories with the changeset message "Tidying up." Which I then reverted, leaving them a message on their talk page asking them to not remove the categories again since they are perfectly valid. They ignored my talk page message and then reverted my edit with the comment that they can remove the categories if they want to because they uploaded the image, which I don't think is a valid reason. Removing categories from images whole cloth for no reason and then continuing to do so despite the other person trying to discuss it is clearly vandalism, regardless of if the it's being done by the original uploader. So I'd appreciate it if an admin could tell @Broichmore: that they don't own images they upload, other people are allowed to put them in relevant categories, "tidying up" isn't a valid reason to edit war someone. Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 20:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, if an image is in Category:TIFF images with categorized JPGs, we don't add other topical categories to the TIFF, only to the corresponding JPEG. That's the whole point of this category: avoid having the image appear twice in each category, make the JPEG highly visible to be used, keep the TIFF to something editors, etc. can find if they need it. - Jmabel ! talk 21:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And while you were both edit warring, no one here was vandalizing and, @Adamant1, I expect you to withdraw that accusation. - Jmabel ! talk 21:54, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Category:TIFF images with categorized JPGs is useless. It should not have existed in the first place. How are we to know that these TIFF files exist if they are not categorized? I have discovered many by luck, left alone, not linked to anything. Creating this category and uploading files without any other categories was a very bad idea. Yann (talk) 22:00, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel: I have to agree with Yann here. It doesn't make sense or follow the guidelines to have files in a single category. We don't do it with other file types either. For instance it's perfectly fine to put PNGs in the same category as JPGs. So I don't really see what the difference is. Maybe there's an extremely small benefit when it comes to "visual duplication in other categories", but that's far out weighed by people not knowing the images exist to begin with because they are essentially hidden in a single category no one is going to look through or cares about. As to the accusation of vandalism, I could be miss-remembering but I'm pretty sure I was blocked a while back for "vandalism" due to making similar types of edits. If it was vandalism when I did it then I don't see why it wouldn't be here. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: we know because they are linked from the respective JPEGs. There are relatively few reasons someone would need a TIFF unless they wanted a master version to manipulate, or a maximally accurate copy for print. It is a much less web-friendly format. - Jmabel ! talk 22:32, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Was there ever a discussion about it? If I look up "Tiff and JPEG" on the Village Pump there's upwards of results and none of the ones I looked at seem relevant. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Adamant1: I don't know where this was originally discussed. I think it was originally specific to a large import from the U.S. National Archives and then the principal was expanded.
But I'm more concerned here about you accusation that this is vandalism, because you brought this to COM:AN/U, not some place appropriate for discussing categorization policy. And I still think you ought to back down on that, quite independent of the categorization issue. I might or might not have bothered to do anything if this file crossed my path, but if I had then it would have been more or less what Broichmore did. So as far as I'm concerned, you've as good as called me a vandal. - Jmabel ! talk 00:04, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel: OK. Broichmore had said at one point that it was discussed somewhere before and that there was consensus to do things that way. That seems wrong if it was originally specific to am import from the U.S. National Archives. I think your to hung up on the "vandal" thing though. As I said, I was blocked for doing similar edits a while ago due to them being "vandalism." So that's how I characterized it when I opened this for lack of a better description, and again, because an administrator said it was vandalism when I did the same type of edits myself.
That said if it's not vandalism, fine. I was simply phrasing it how an administrator had characterized similar edits in the past. I could really care less about what specific word you use to describe things though. I still don't think the categories should have been removed regardless. Although it at least makes more sense now at least for files from the Library of Congress, but I don't think every TIFF file with a corresponding JPEG image needs to be uncategorized. I certainly don't see how there's a consensus to do it that way more broadly if it was original only for the files related to the Library of Congress. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:05, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
