[edit] File:Applications-office.svg and File:GFDL yellow.png
Both are now used in the license warning displayed whenever anyone edits a page on Commons. They need to be protected because of high visibility --Yarnalgo (talk) 20:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- However both the files are heavy used I don't see a reason to protect already.
- Everybody can edit
- That is one reason why this project is so great. I will say not done not needed untill it is targeted by vandals, I dont feel good with protecting because maybe someday a vandal will come by Huib talk 20:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree witgh Yarnalgo. This is still a wiki first and foremost, but we cannot risk a vandalism that will be visible on such a big amount of pages (for a while before a revert and then through the cache etc.). I have fully protected both files and have added them to my watchlist in order to fill any requests that may arise. Problem solved,
Done. odder 21:51, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Translation table
Hi! Two days ago, I have asked for the modification of Template:Translation table. Since the amount of change is quite large, I'm willing to do it myself if you could unprotect it for a couple of hours, starting from now. Of course, I will notice you when I'm finished. Thanks. — Xavier, 21:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Unprotected. Happy editing! ;) odder 21:44, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Unknown user is changing many files
User 79.150.1.237 is changing many files. The changes are political based. With several categories a small edit war takes place. The problem is that he/she has only an IP-adress so discussion is difficult. May be that a block of a few days may help to stop this. Wouter (talk) 21:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- Note: IP has already been blocked today by Cookie, for a duration of one day. — Xavier, 21:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] File:Chav.jpg
Can someone please un-protect this image as the last 'bad change' took place months ago and it was even longer since vandalism was bad. If not can someone remove the link to File:Chavar.jpg (the alternative location of the image people kept changing this to) as that image has been removed. Regards, FM (talk) 09:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- The protection expires soon, on July 1st, 2009. However I modified the protection to block only unregistered and new users. Sv1xv (talk) 10:02, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] TarackaChetowaIkonoka (talk • contribs)
I placed an indef block without warning on TarackaChetowaIkonoka (talk • contribs) for insults and vandalism on several image descriptions and user pages. I don't know if he insulted people on a random basis or if he targeted specific users. Does one of you know who this might be? Jastrow (Λέγετε) 09:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Seems to be "trans-wiki conflict", see en:User_talk:Taracka for an explaination. On :en the vandal threatened "wait until i attack with 50 sockpuppets". --Túrelio (talk) 09:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
