Block request for User:Hooman.nrz

Aiueo kakikukeko sashisuse

Nearly all uploads from Aiueo kakikukeko sashisuse (talk · contribs) are copyright-violated. Requesting a block and batch delete. Lemonaka (talk) 07:11, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. I mass deleted all remaining contributions as copyvios. User stopped after warning, so block is currently not needed. Taivo (talk) 14:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

76.53.254.138

76.53.254.138 (talk · contribs). Disruptive editing here (1, 2) and on Wikidata. Already blocked on enwiki. Please, block across all projects. Triggerhippie4 (talk) 02:14, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked for a month. Yann (talk) 06:04, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: Thanks you. I noticed your edit here: link. Do you think that the IP and WesternBridge are the same person? Triggerhippie4 (talk) 12:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Possible, but it doesn't matter. IPs should not remove information from talk page anyway. Yann (talk) 15:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protection request for File:Jose Rizal full.jpg

Extensive vandalism on information summary by user 49.151.197.108 kindly add protection and also block the vandal to avoid further incidents. Thank you. —J.avanzado (talk) 13:35, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Changed protection to auto patrolled only - if it persists we can look at raising the level Gbawden (talk) 14:40, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Ya Yevhen

Ya Yevhen (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log --Kharkivian (talk) 11:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He keeps uploading copyrighted photos of certain person. He had two warnings about his mass copyright violation on his user talk page. But no reaction from him were until this time. Every file he uploaded should be deleted for copyright reasons, and I think he should be blocked too because he's doing too much damage. --Kharkivian (talk) 11:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked for a month Gbawden (talk) 12:06, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Wikippedia45

Wikippedia45 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log An account solely for advertising purposes All the Best -- Chuck Talk 21:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:WALTER FRING PINKMAN

WALTER FRING PINKMAN (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log

WALTER FRING PINKMAN is most likely sockpuppet account of AWAW0262 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log, as both have a history of uploading non-free images of Moroccan Air Force aircraft (which all were already removed due to F1 violations). This was, in fact, the reason AWAW0262 was blocked. Furthermore, both accounts exhibit similar editing behavior on en.wiki. Ckfasdf (talk) 10:44, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Toefl english center

Toefl english center (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log Username for spam or containing advertising purposes All the Best -- Chuck Talk 17:54, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alachuckthebuck, ✓ Done - I don't see a continued pattern of spamming here but I have issued a soft-block, related to username being inappropriate. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:51, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Block request for User:Southxavyy

Uploads are confirmed to be F10s in description All the Best -- Chuck Talk 21:44, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yes, my mom took a photo of me when I was a little kid, lmao. Southxavyy (talk) 22:31, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't understand what do you mean. I don't know what did I do, I created an account to create a Wiki page about me, since I am an artist Southxavyy (talk) 21:46, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alachuckthebuck: I have deleted the last remaining upload which appeared to be a fair-use cover, and leave any other (admin) actions to my fellow admins. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:53, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm telling you again, I DIDN'T BREAK THE RULES, the C!ty cover art was a cover art made by ME, with use of a photo under the Unsplash licence, which let's me use it, as long as I don't sell it how it was, and 1. I don't sell it at all. 2. I modified it and added text.\
If you don't understand, maybe you shouldn't be an admin... Southxavyy (talk) 08:41, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I warned Southxavyy to stay calm. Yann (talk) 09:28, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry. But it would be great if you delete the block request, because all images were upload legally, and without breaking the rules. Southxavyy (talk) 09:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Southxavyy: Hi, Usually, documents previously published require a formal written permission via COM:VRT. Could you please provide a link to the original picture? Yann (talk) 10:55, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
