Could File:Twitter new file version.svg be made to be a new version of File:Twitter.svg? Thanks... AnonMoos (talk) 09:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mexicanbag - uploaded a nonsensical picture File:Its a clean picture if the subject 2014-03-06 16-38.jpg to vandalize en:Pornography (disambiguation) with it. Already blocked on English Wikipedia. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could this please be redirected to File:Name.jpg and be given full indefinite protection? Requesting redirection instead of doing it myself, since I don't want to make a mess by having a live image with a redirected description page: I assume you'll have to delete the image. Nyttend (talk) 23:50, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

•  Agree - To the indefinite protection.
•  Oppose - To redirection/deletion. It is an useful example image. And it is often used. --Angelus^(talk) 00:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Why? Have you checked WhatLinksHere for Name.jpg? It's our standard practise to redirect generic-name placeholders to Name.jpg. We might as well show everyone the same example image, rather than using multiple ones. By having just one example image with lots of redirects, we need to have exactly one discussion if we think that the text should be changed. Unlike the text in Name.jpg, the text in Image.jpg doesn't do a thing: the other file explains what's happening and why you can't upload anything with that title, while this one appears to be meaningless if you don't know what's going on. Nyttend (talk) 04:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The file is heavily used on Italian Graphics Lab, for example. Anyway we can explain "what's happening and why you can't upload anything with that title in the file description"... as well. --Angelus^(talk) 04:54, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover "Name.jpg" is not properly an "example image", but more than anything else is a warning picture, which signals the prohibition on uploading with that name. --Angelus^(talk) 05:00, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I  Support Nyttend's proposal, but not doing them... — Revi_complaint? 05:12, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Image has been fully protected but not deleted/redirected. Valid image placeholder in some wikis. --Denniss (talk) 10:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider a block for repeated copyright violations after receiving a block warning. – Wdchk (talk) 06:14, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Blocked 2 weeks. — Revi_complaint? 06:24, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be a single-purpose account. As the first contribution after coming from a one-week block for copyright violations, uploaded an inflammatory file File:InnocentFalungGongPeopleKilledBySoCalledHolyCommunistPartyOfChina.jpeg and spammed dozens of articles on English Wikipedia with it, then posted a rant on my talk page threatening me with hell. See user talk page and global contributions; perhaps a global block is in order. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 16:53, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Solicito que el usuario Fry1989 sea amonestado por falta de etiqueta e insultos, como puede verse aquí. Además se dedica a hacer cambios sin fuentes y a acosarme en mis aportaciones. --Echando una mano (talk) 04:04, 9 March 2014 (UTC) // P.S. Además ha eliminado las referencias que le he dado en su página de discusión // P.S. 2: Este usuario me está difamando .[reply]
