User uploading images as own work

@Ali ahmed andalousi: has uploaded numerous images, claiming it was his/her own work. File:Covida.png is https://pngtree.com/freepng/red-covid-19-bacteria-isolated-on-transparent-background-3d-rendering-of-virus-for-coronavirus-awareness_5340587.html; File:Lion symp.png is https://www.freepng.es/png-n9vfx2/; I have opened a discussion for File:Almohad Flag.jpg. Looking at the user's uploads make me think there is multiple images which have the same problem. Could you tell me what is the procedure? Veverve (talk) 00:43, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Help with Abuse Filter

You appear to be rather deft with the Abuse Filter. Could you check if Special:AbuseFilter/249, which I just created, is ready to go live? I'm trying to stop an LTA case and this is my first time creating a filter. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:35, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535: Yeah, that looks like a fairly simple one, looks good to me. With any new filter, you want to check for false positives and make sure it does what you want it to after enabling it. In many cases, it's best to start with a log-only filter to test it, then switch to warn/deny. Log-only filters can also be useful if you're worried about a target changing their behavior. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:36, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your help! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:26, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Flagged for insufficient information on its copyright status

Hi there! Sorry - I'm a bit new to editing, but my upload got flagged by your bot for insufficient information on its copyright status, as no copyright tag was detected. I'm a bit confused as to what this means, so I would really appreciate if you could take a look (I've pasted the link below) and let me know the issue!! Thank you so much!

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:三八节有感_(Thoughts_on_March_8).png — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChineseLit (talk • contribs) 22:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

--ChineseLit (talk) 22:33, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

@ChineseLit: Welcome to Wikimedia Commons! When you uploaded the file, you didn't include a Copyright tag. You did include {{Free screenshot}}, but that doesn't really say anything about the copyright status of the file other than that it's a screenshot of software. That's not really correct, so I have removed it. After the bot tagged the file, you added {{PD-text}} and {{PD-ineligible}}. Both are valid license templates, but having both is a bit redundant. {{PD-text}} is a bit better for this situation, so I removed {{PD-ineligible}} and the deletion tag. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 23:38, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help!! I really appreciate it :) --ChineseLit (talk) 23:44, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Ritratto di Leopoldo II di Toscana

Hi, about File:Ritratto di Leopoldo II di Toscana.jpg and your edit of March 21. I personally take the photo of the current version uploaded. Even the oldest versions, even if not uploaded by me, are my photos. The version uploaded in 2014 by Filippo Corradi was put by me in an Italian web forum about Sissi; the version uploaded in 2018 by Francesco Braia di Corradi came by my public Instagram profile.--Kaho Mitsuki (Dis-moi) 10:00, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I've split the different versions of the file in accordance with COM:CROP, and cleaned up the description a bit. {{Own}} isn't completely correct, as you didn't paint the painting, so I changed it to {{Self-photographed}}. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 18:40, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm not really agree with what you do. Why did you split the two old versions? Their quality is not very good. I can understand for the detail that could have an utility (it's not a native three-quarter, it was me who cropped it; and btw I think it will be better to overwrite it with a cropped file based on my latest photo). But the source is totally incorrect. They didn't come by the Archivio di Stato di Firenze (give a look to the profiles of the users who uploaded it: they are the sockpuppets of the same User:A3cb1, blocked because he used to uploaded files with no valable sources). As you can see on Instagram [1], I uploaded the 3/4 cropped version on my profile on 8 May 2017 (the file on Wikicommons was uploaded on 10 September 2018). The bad quality first version was taken by me in October 2010 (and I uploaded it in this forum [2], it's not visible anymore). User:A3cb1 was pretty certainly active on that forum (here is asking for a photo of Leopold II on his death-bed [3]). Actually I can't see a reason to keep this oldest version: it's quality is really bad.--Kaho Mitsuki (Dis-moi) 09:31, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

@Kaho Mitsuki: The three-quarter crop falls under Commons:Overwriting_existing_files#Substantial_changes. There are significant color differences between the first and third versions, which is generally accepted to fall outside of the minor changes rule. I would agree that File:Ritratto di Leopoldo II di Toscana (Archivio di Stato di Firenze).jpg is probably not very useful, and should be nominated for deletion.

False positive? File:Record card Fox 'F' grade 12 gauge shotgun for Theodore Roosevelt, rear side.jpg

Hello AntiCompositeNumber, it appears your bot flagged File:Record card Fox 'F' grade 12 gauge shotgun for Theodore Roosevelt, rear side.jpg and File:Record card Fox 'F' grade 12 gauge shotgun for Theodore Roosevelt, front side.jpg as copyright violations. Probably because of contradictory license info. The {{PD-text}} applies to the card itself, which was almost certainly filled by Ansley H. Fox (d. 1925) and has no text subject to copyright. The {{PD-Scan}} applies to the scan of the card. Hence there is no contradiction. If there is another issue, please be so kind as to inform me, just for avoiding future copyright infringement. I have kept both files, if they can't be kept on Commons, I will upload them to dewiki (as they are not copyrighted in Germany, Austria, Switzerland). Thanks, --Natalie Freyaldenhoven (talk) 12:55, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

@Natalie Freyaldenhoven: At the time the bot tagged the files, the license template was {{PD-scan|text}}. {{PD-scan}} uses a default license of {{PD-old}}, but will replace that template with whatever is in the first parameter. {{Text}} isn't a license, and because the default PD-old was removed, there was no license on the files. It sounds like what you meant to use was {{PD-scan|PD-text}}. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 14:18, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Arrrrgh! The issue was resolved on February 6th. Today, I was working on Commons and saw the red bell icon on the top of the screen. Went to my Commons talk page and - without checking the date - read the last message. In fact, the red bell icon was to inform me about a message on dewiki . I beg your pardon, --Natalie Freyaldenhoven (talk) 14:29, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Audioboss

You just declined a bunch of speedy deletion requests from Audioboss for files he uploaded. For background see Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#Files uploaded by Audioboss and Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Audioboss. They are starting to become an annoyance.

Now they are adding unnecessary filters and Flickr-washing things just for the hell of it. Compare this full length image with their most recent upload File:Major Manuel Luis Quezon.jpg. Take note of where the legs are cropped (right at the Getty watermark. Can you do me a favor and block them? Mo Billings (talk) 03:34, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

A photo from 1898 that is well known public domain in the Philippines. By definition that is public domain. I just uploaded it because the file is not in wikicommons. --Audioboss (talk) 04:01, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Here you can email: asklibrarian@filipinaslibrary.org.ph and ask the Philippine government themselves. I consider this hounding and harassment.

Hounding on Wikipedia (or "wikihounding") is the singling out of one or more editors, joining discussions on multiple pages or topics they may edit or multiple debates where they contribute, to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work. This is with an apparent aim of creating irritation, annoyance, or distress to the other editor. Hounding usually involves following the target from place to place on Wikipedia.

Many users track other users' edits, although usually for collegial or administrative purposes. This should always be done carefully, and with good cause, to avoid raising the suspicion that an editor's contributions are being followed to cause them distress, or out of revenge for a perceived slight. Correct use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing unambiguous errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles. In fact, such practices are recommended both for Recent changes patrol and WikiProject Spam. The contribution logs can be used in the dispute resolution process to gather evidence to be presented in mediation, incidents, and arbitration cases. Using dispute resolution can itself constitute hounding if it involves persistently making frivolous or meritless complaints about another editor.

The important component of hounding is disruption to another user's own enjoyment of editing, or disruption to the project generally, for no overridingly constructive reason. Even if the individual edits themselves are not disruptive per se, "following another user around", if done to cause distress, or if accompanied by tendentiousness, personal attacks, or other disruptive behavior, may become a very serious matter and could result in blocks and other editing restrictions. --Audioboss (talk) 04:08, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Here - you can also check the Philippine government site that the photo has been artistically derived into from the raw public domain image:

--Audioboss (talk) 04:18, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@Audioboss and Mo Billings: I declined the speedy deletion requests because COM:CSD#G7 does not apply to images more than 7 days old. I have no particular opinion on the rest of this case, and do not plan to take any action here. Your arguments are best made at the ANUP thread and DR page already open. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 04:20, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

I give up. I've already exposed 5 or 6 of his uploads as copyright violations even as he continues to lie about them. I have no idea why he's not blocked already. Admins don;t seem to want do adminning around here. I'm done. Mo Billings (talk) 04:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Mo Billings: speedy deletion is for uncontroversial deletion or blatant copyvios. If someone disputes it, it should not be speedily deleted. We're not in an urgent hurry here, you can go through the process. Elli (talk) 06:27, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@Elli: I think you may have misunderstood. The speedy deletion requests were initiated by Audioboss, not me. That was what prompted me to ask for their block. It would also be nice if they were stopped from uploading any more of their photoshop filterized derivative works. Don't we block users after dozens of copyright violations and repeated lies about the sources even after they have been exposed? That is the situation here.

Hi AntiCompositeNumber, you closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:Liebe ist Privatsache Logo.jpg with a delete result, but the file was not deleted. Can you give this another look? ƏXPLICIT 03:54, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Trump looking at Wikipe-tan.png

AntiCompositeNumber, I would appreciate it if you would reconsider your closure of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Trump looking at Wikipe-tan.png. COM:PEOPLE says "Images must not unfairly ridicule or demean the subject". I think the image is clearly intended to ridicule the subject. That policy also quotes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This is a constructed image which attacks "the honour and reputation" of President Trump by depicting him looking a Japanese pornography. I didn't think it was necessary to spell that out when I referenced COM:PEOPLE in the deletion discussion, but that was my "valid reason". Thanks. Mo Billings (talk) 02:57, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Pornography is defined as printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings. (Source: Oxford Dictionary), I see no sexual organs exposed, or sexual acts being performed. Zppix (talk) 03:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Zppix If the compueter screen showed an image that met your dictionary definition of pornography, would you be in favor of deleting the image? If the computer screen showed a pile of dog feces, would you be in favor of deleting the image? Mo Billings (talk) 03:30, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Mo Billings I cannot comment on hypothetical situations Zppix (talk) 15:57, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

The right to mock public officials is strongly protected in the United States. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:00, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, it is, but this Wikimedia Commons and we must abide by the rules and policies here. Our policy more or less says "don't mock people". It doesn't give exceptions for political figures. Do you disagree with that interpretation? Mo Billings (talk) 03:11, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
