Even if I should be wrong in factual there is no reason to call a single deletion request a "Trollantrag".

This user upload huge batch (see File:20120520-DSC00419-2-3 (7240102352).jpg and other in Category:Media needing categories as of 5 February 2014) of private photos from Flickr, and most of them are out of Commons:Project scope. Actually I remember similar batch several months ago. Looks like this user should be denied right to mass import from Flickr. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:19, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No wiki-wide contribs at all but able to mass-upload files from Flickr? --Denniss (talk) 16:26, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic user duplicating categories

Moved from Commons:Village pump#Problematic user duplicating categories
OK, I am reporting now this user: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Camyllae As user engaged himself in revert warring (see: [1], [2]), and attempts of discussing the issue with him on talk pages obviously failed, I would ask the wikimedia community what should be done here.

Basically, the user created several new categories and added some images to them:

Problem with these categories is that they are duplicates of existing categories:

Historically, there were many names used for both, Slavonia and Slavs, and creation of new categories for every possible name used for them is totally ridiculous.

I tried to revert creation of these categories by user Camyllae, but he reverted my edits back, and I also believe that some sockpuppetry is involved here, since user Camyllae obviously editing with his real username and with an IP number as well (please observe same edit with same edit summary by user Camyllae and by IP: [3], [4]):

When I tried to discuss these issues with him on several talk pages, I got from him some meaningless answers, like "This is not a homogeneous crowd" and "again mistake, this is only part bigger history":

Furthermore, when I proposed categories that he created for deletion, the user simply removed deletion templates from these pages before deletion processes was actually finished in proper way:

Now, please, can somebody say what should be done with these categories and behavior of this user? PANONIAN (talk) 13:07, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion should probably be moved to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems, or a notice posted there. It is likely administrator involvement will be needed.
That said, Camyllae's edits certainly look problematic. Category names should generally be in English; our policy on that is quite clear. Removing deletion notices is also not acceptable. Some of the categories might serve as category redirects, but deletion could well be an option.
As this is a new user Administrator warning and category clean-up will probably be sufficient unless Camyllae persists on the matter. MKFI (talk) 13:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC) Typo fix MKFI (talk) 13:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request

User Vahram Mekhitaryan consistently violates rules of project. He repeatedly added wrong categories, and starting edit wars, removing

  1. Adding wrong categories, the main problem is with categories about Armenian Eternity Sign. He added that category in many pages which has no any connection to that. For example, there he has found that sign in this or in this logos? I dont understand. Another problem is with this "flag", that is fictional flag not officil but he adding Flags of Armenia category here.
  2. Another problem is that that user removing templates from pages ([9], [10], [11] and so on), false authorship claims. He has already been blocked for edit wars. Please take some action against it.--Δαβίδ (talk) 13:01, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
All flags is a free images and can be add Wikicommons with "PD-AM-exempt" license. If any off admins decided to delete one off mention flags, he or she must delete all flags (USA, England, France, e.c.), because they are not own works. I think, its a just vandalism with Δαβίδ user. Also, I couldn't understood behavior off Δαβίδ, which always want to delete something. He doesn't upload any image in wiki commons since he joined (about duration 3 year). In my opinion, mention user couldn't understand, why peoples working on Wikipedia. I think, Wikimedia doesn't need users, which only criticized. --Arman musikyan (talk) 20:55, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Δαβίδ is falsifying a reality. User Vahram Mekhitarian not blocked - blocked user Δαβίδ, see him talk page User_talk:Δαβίδ. Last blocked for a duration of 1 month, and block over at 04.02.2014.
Δαβίδ is an IP vandal. You can see this look at the history page of the files
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Armenian_Eternity_Sign_Regular.png&action=history
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Azg_Handes_1908_17_1_Ezekian_Swastika.pdf&action=history
and my talk page
User_talk:Vahram_Mekhitarian/Archive/2013#IP_vandalism
He is only concerned with the fact that in every way prevents the creation of articles on "Armenian Eternity sign" (Arevahach) in English, Russian, Armenian and other wikis. Therefore, puts on the removal of files from the Category:Armenian Eternity Sign. The editors of these articles are well aware of this vandal.
All actions of Δαβίδ in Commons are destructive, see him contributions list. This user from Armenian wikipedia David1992, who blocked in Armenian wikipedia.

Echando una mano again

This user insists on uploading their changes to papal coats of arms. When these are reverted by others, the user will edit war to keep their change in place. They previously did this on File:C o a Callisto III.svg and File:C o a Niccolo V.svg to such an extent they had to be RevDel'd and cleaned up while the user was blocked for 3 days. They are now repeating this behaviour on File:John 23 coa.svg and File:John paul 1 coa.svg. Fry1989 eh? 22:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Y tú reviertes lo que te da la gana sin consenso alguno, vandalizando según tu criterio. Espero que se tomen medidas contra tus dañinas acciones. --Echando una mano (talk) 22:25, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, Echando una mano is expressing the belief that only one type of heraldry is "correct" and is going so far to call the previous renditions "vandalism". This is the exact same behaviour which is why they were blocked for editing File:C o a Callisto III.svg. Fry1989 eh? 22:29, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Echando una mano, en vez de atacar te ruego que expongas tu versión de una forma constructiva. Alan (talk) 23:19, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sí, gracias, Alan. En los archivos y hice una actualización de la imagen, acorde con la nueva imagen del escudo, tal y como se ve en la Gaceta Oficial del Paraguay. El usuario Fry1989 la revirtió sin dar explicación alguna y, al volver yo a mi actualización lo ha hecho de nuevo aduciendo que el cambio no mejora nada, cuando se ve claramente que el león no se corresponde con el nuevo.
Luego ha deshecho unas actualizaciones que hice de los archivos y , sin dar, tampoco, explicación alguna. Después me ha acusado aquí por razones que solo él conoce. Quisiera decir que yo hago las cosas para tratar de mejorarlas, como se puede ver en mis aportaciones anteriores. Si los administradores consideran lo contrario, por favor, háganmelo saber; de ninguna forma creo que merezca un bloqueo por intentar mejorar el proyecto Commons. Gracias y un saludo. --Echando una mano (talk) 15:21, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Fry1989: Providing documentation supporting your reversion is required.
@Echando una mano: Se requiere documentación que apoye los cambios realizados a los escudos.
Mi opinión preliminar es:
  • y -- Basado en la Gaceta oficial (documentación oficial) (pág 9), el cambio de Echando una mano es correcto.
  • y -- ¿Algún documento oficial para comparar?
  • y -- ¿Algún documento oficial o relevante para comparar?
  • y -- ¿Algún documento oficial o relevante para comparar?
My preliminary opinion is:
Awaiting response / Esperando respuesta, --Alan (talk) 15:43, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias Alan. En y únicamente he intentado actualizar el león de san Marcos, en un estilo más natural. Hay multitud de ejemplos de ambos.
En había utilizado como modelo este escudo de armas y para el de este otro. En este caso fui bloqueado por tres días sin aviso previo, por otra intervención de Fry1989, acusándome de vandalizar. Los archivos actuales realizados por mi están en y . Gracias y un saludo. --Echando una mano (talk) 16:10, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the statement by Alan saying I need to "documentation supporting your reversion", no I don't. It is the job of those who change an image to provide documentation for their change, not the job of us to provide documentation for the status quo. Fry1989 eh? 17:31, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Fry1989: Reversions should be exclusively for reverting vandalism, read Commons:Rollback. Echando una mano's changes on File:Coat of arms of Paraguay (reverse).svg and File:Flag of Paraguay (reverse).svg, for example, are perfectly valid and are supported by official documents of the country of the flag/coa. Where was vandalism? Under inverse onus of proof: which acts it's who must show why it has.
Other admins: Opinion about this matter? I will not take any decision on the matter without further opinions. Alan (talk) 19:00, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Frank Gosebruch vandalizing images that he uploaded

See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bulb (photography).jpg. This user has asked for all of his uploads to be deleted, claiming someone else owns copyright. He has gone through and uploaded vandalized versions of them all. I think we need to stop and revert the vandalism, and not delete them unless we hear from someone claiming copyright at least. These images are widely used in en.wikipedia articles. Dicklyon (talk) 10:18, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see all images are reverted to a useful version. I will keep an eye on him and block on his first new vandalism attempt. Jcb (talk) 10:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I provided all neccessary information and contact information to contact Martin Emmert. He is more than 70 years old, doesn't speak English and you just removed the contact information but don't provide any contact email adress to contact you. he is no member of any wiki and doesn't know much about computers. Now you consequently claim that I am a lyer and redo all my edits and declare it as vandalism. I don't have any other chance but to edit the files BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELONG TO ME!!! Do you understand that? AND THEY DON'T BELONG TO ANY WIKI. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? DO YOU DECIDE WHAT'S YOURS AND WHAT'S MARTIN'S PROPERTY? I think you are not different from every other commercial company and now show your real face and act as a fascist? You just want to keep something that doesn't belong to you for free and now looking for any reason just to keep it illegally - booooh! Wow, you are the powerful administrator! So big and so successful in real life, eh? Do what you want, you will never again get anything from me!-Frank Gosebruch (talk) 10:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think we can close this thread (also per Godwin). --A.Savin 11:00, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
