Note

  • Keep your report as short as possible, but include links as evidence.
  • Remember to sign and date all comments using four tildes (~~~~), which translates into a signature and a time stamp.
  • It is usually appropriate to notify the user(s) concerned. {{subst:Discussion-notice|noticeboard=COM:AN/U|thread=|reason=}} is available for this.
  • Administrators: Please make a note if a report is dealt with, to avoid unnecessary responses by other admins.


User:AlbertHerring's uploads & lack of communication

This user (who has been here since at least 2008, and was recently renamed to User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao) has been uploading literally hundreds of non-notable, non-educational images from Flickr (see the recent uploads from Flickr2Commons) over the last few days, and is entirely unwilling to respond to any of the deletion nominations that have been placed on the images, or make any sort of discussion at all. I request that his access to the Flckr2Commons tool be removed, at a minimum. JesseW (talk) 06:52, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry - I didn't realize my lack of response on deletion discussions would be considered a problem. I try to vet the accounts that I'm uploading from...sometimes things that shouldn't get by slip through, for which I apologize. (One batch in particular - I tried to tell the uploader to ignore all images with a certain tag. It did not...it's a problem with my computer which I'm trying to work through. That was the source of many of the images in question.) I don't tend to respond to deletion discussions because I don't have an opinion one way or another - if consensus is that something should be deleted, I don't care. I don't see that my opinion one way or the other really matters. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao (talk) 13:18, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding! I'm glad to hear that the recent flood was a mistake -- it certainly looked alarming. If you're working on getting it sorted out, that's good enough for me. Regarding participating in deletion discussions of the images you upload -- I don't think it is necessary, (especially if the intended educational purpose of the image is already clearly stated on the image description page), but I do think it is important to say somewhere what the intended educational purpose of each image one uploads is. It was the lack of that which concerned me about your edits. JesseW (talk) 04:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment JesseW, you do know that when you nominate a file for deletion you are to place a notice of some kind on the uploader's talk page don't you? I have seen no posts from you regarding DRs, only one regarding this AN/U. Liamdavies (talk) 14:02, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did not actually nominate any of the uploads for deletion -- I just noticed the flood of uploads, and the lack of response, and was concerned. I do make sure to provide notices when I do make deletion nominations. Thanks for the reminder, in any case. JesseW (talk) 04:18, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This user has uploaded at least two images that I've come across that have nonsensical file names. Additionally, she seems to have engaged in vandalism on the English Wikipedia, given this apparent page blanking. [1] I think we should look into whether a warning or block is necessary. Unless she is clearly a vandal or spammer, I'd say just give a warning that she needs to use proper titles in file names. Inquisitor Ehrenstein (talk) 04:42, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a vandal, given his odd uploads. One was a meme with "prepare your anus" written on it. Inquisitor Ehrenstein (talk) 05:45, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked by Fastily. --Túrelio (talk) 22:16, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I am offline for most of the time recently, please take a look at new user Parker Phy (talk · contribs). He had uploaded a batch of (rather hardcore) p*rn images as "own work", which could easily be sourced to other websites. Today, he was blocked for 1 week by Martin H. He left a posting on my talkpage, in which he claims the images to be "my own works for educational and health purposes", but also has send me a lengthy, somewhat confusing email from a gmail account, claiming that his company own the rights. I don't have the time to reply to such emails. In addition, to me the wording of his recent posting on top of his talkpage reads a bit like a legal threat; but I may be mistaken in that. --Túrelio (talk) 22:15, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets of Pablo Milano #6

I'm sorry to come back to present, this time, eight new puppets of Pablo Milano, whose accounts outlined below:

I took care to mark the images for speedy deletion or deletion request, as appropriate. Thank you very much. Banfield - Amenazas aquí 19:13, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done all blocked forever and tagged accordingly. Taivo (talk) 14:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fernandezadrian

I don't speak Spanish, but using Google Translate it seems that User:Fernandezadrian may have been created to attack someone, possibly Adrian Fernandez. Two images have been uploaded, one clearly a copyright violation and the other very likely to be (I have nominated both for speedy deletion). The description of "File:Salchichaman.jpg" says "la salchicha de adrian fernandez echa con sus propias manos de mamut" (Google Translate: "adrian fernandez sausage check with your own hands mammoth"), and that of "File:Paloso.jpg" is "este oso es bastante flaco porque lo unico que come son salchichas framfu,r y le sale la lengua porque se tiene alergia asi mismo, es un pringado" ("this bear is quite weak because the only thing you eat are sausages framfu, ry tongue comes out because they are allergic likewise, is a sucker."). — Cheers, JackLee talk 09:26, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
