User:Master of biology

User:Master of biology is a brand new editor who has been adding images to penis-related articles at en-wiki (w:contribs), using File:Human penis circumcised.jpg, which they recently uploaded to Commons. If the image were relevant to the topic, maybe they'd have a teensy argument in favor, but it wasn't, so it's been removed for cause. I'm not interested in censorship, but I'm also not interested in having someone at en-wiki who is clearly not here to improve the encyclopedia. (Please see en:User talk:Master of biology#Image choice at Glans penis for details.) I realize that Commons has different guidelines than en-wiki, so I'll leave it up to you whether to do anything about their image upload here. Adding User:Materialscientist. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 06:11, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Done Indef block, files deleted per CSD G10 (personal photos by non-contributors). Commons does not exist to enable cross-wiki vandalism and takes a dim view of people that do it. Thank you for the report. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Jeff G., I don't get it. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:26, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@The Squirrel Conspiracy: Username is confusing, and seems to be 6 random home row consonants with an "r" and a couple of "i"s in the middle.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 09:54, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
For me the username is acceptable, because I can memorize it as kdh – hiir (which means "mouse" in Estonian) – hg. But if somebody will block the user, I will not protest. Taivo (talk) 11:02, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
OK for me. We have worst usernames editing regularly here. Yann (talk) 11:05, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
