On top of previously mentioned problems, now he engaged himself into edit warring: [[:File:Standard time zones of the world.png]].--[[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 19:39, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:'''Protected''' for one week. Discussion is to occur on the talk page. Use {{tl|editprotected}} to request changes before expiration of protection. [[User:Russavia|russavia]] ([[User talk:Russavia|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 19:43, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:: Great, thanks. May be at some point he will realize that if everybody tells him that black is black and he is the only one to insist that black is white, than smth might be wrong, but protection as a temporary decision is fine.--[[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 19:48, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
::: It is more important that all involved understand that slow-revert wars on files such as this are disruptive not only to Commons, but also to other projects which are using the image. Is it imperative that all parties discuss the issues on the talk page of the file concerned. There is nothing more really to say in this matter from where I am sitting. [[User:Russavia|russavia]] ([[User talk:Russavia|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 22:33, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
::: Funny. No exceptions for Kosovo. All separatist movements or none. That simple. [[User:Artem Karimov|Artem Karimov]] ([[User talk:Artem Karimov|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:04, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:::: By the way, nice monitoring of my contribs. Waste your time more. :) [[User:Artem Karimov|Artem Karimov]] ([[User talk:Artem Karimov|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:05, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:::: That doesn't make any sense. Would you really exclude the United States from the map? At a certain point a separatist movement becomes a legitimate nation. Kosovo has achieved at least some of the markers of being a legitimate nation, and therefore it's not being exceptional to list it as one.--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 10:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
::::: In that case Abkhazia and South Ossetia should be included as well. Along with Trasnistria and Northern Cyprus. They are all de-facto states. [[User:Artem Karimov|Artem Karimov]] ([[User talk:Artem Karimov|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 17:58, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
I hope you will also help to protect the [[:File:Terlezky-2010-doloi.jpg]] with its previous detailed description, instead of the current one that appears to hide the relevant details about the subject of this photo. See the story above.--[[User:PereslavlFoto|PereslavlFoto]] ([[User talk:PereslavlFoto|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:How about I, instead, leave the file unprotected, remove the English description entirely, and place all on notice that the next person to revert, or add any English description at all, without engaging in at least a one-week discussion on the talk page, and with some resemblance of consensus, will receive, courtesy of myself, a two week no-expenses paid vacation from Commons. '''No-one''' has used the talk page on the file, so no-one is innocent in this instance. [[User:Russavia|russavia]] ([[User talk:Russavia|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 22:42, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 
::How about the following purely-factual text (which is necessary for ordinary English speakers to have any understanding of the context) be permanently left in place: "Grafitti reads: «Долой власть жидов», where the word «жид» is a derogatory term for «Jew». (The non-derogatory Russian word for «Jew» is «еврей».)" [[User:AnonMoos|AnonMoos]] ([[User talk:AnonMoos|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:13, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:::I have always included this in English description, as your addition is important, but not full explanation of the photographed scene. So, if we include it, we are to include other details. With your explanation it becomes visible that the slogan is derogatory, but is stays unclear about why the slogan is against governing ''powers''.--[[User:PereslavlFoto|PereslavlFoto]] ([[User talk:PereslavlFoto|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:25, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 
::Seems fair, because the most full description was collected in the same way. I discussed the question with other editors and they either added something or explained the theme to research. Also, the question does not depend on the language. The trouble is, one side is inclusive and prefers to show all attitudes; other is not, and prefers to show only their own attitude. To protect his short description and to avoid any other opinion but his own, one administrative user preferred to block me, and he seems to be against any details and explanations in this description. You may see the discussions. They started [[:User talk:Андрей Романенко|here]] with no result, and continued [[:User talk:Blacklake|there]]. In the 2nd discussion I learned there was «место собраний праворадикальных группировок», so I checked the mass media and added the explanation in Russian about «Russian national unity». The 3rd discussion was [[:User talk:Mitrius|there]], and it appeared that the description must avoid «own idiosyncratic views», so I kept and increased the number of hyperlinks to the sources in the description. Next discussion was kept [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:Terlezky-2010-doloi.jpg|in DR]] and helped to improve the translation.--[[User:PereslavlFoto|PereslavlFoto]] ([[User talk:PereslavlFoto|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:25, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Let's say that we have a picture of the gathering of Flat Earth Society, and somebody in the description spends 2 paragraphs explaining how these people actually do not believe that the earth is flat, but actually oppose the doctrine that earth quakes are caused by the plate techtonics. That "full description" would not be helpful. The main reason for that is that it's misleading. In other words the fact that some description is longer doesn't mean that it's better. It's the same with this photo, the shorter description with the translation of the text written actually gives clearer understanding of what is depicted there than a wishwash of "The word 'kike' actually means something different, because the park has been known for kicking out nazis who wrote this slogan".

To all groups, please take it to the talk pages of the files concerned. That is the essence of what I have stated above. There is no more need to reply here, when valuable time could be spent on discussion of issues relating to the files in question.

Hi Admins! This User is uploading a lot of stuff, lots got deleted already. Seems to be very resistant against any kind of counseling.

== [[User:Martin H.]] ==
 
{{userlinks|Martin H.}} Multiple edit warring against several users in [[:Category:Quality images by country]] and all subcategories, where he removes the topic categories (e.g. [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Quality_images_of_the_United_Kingdom&diff=prev&oldid=67461448 "Photographs of the UK" from "Quality images of the UK"]). I [[User_talk:Martin_H.#QI_subcats|requested]] on his talk page (as well as a further user did), but user Martin H. does not see a need for any discussion on this issue. The most strange thing is, that user Martin H. removes topic categories from just a part of QI subcats, without doing it for other ones (like [[:Category:Quality images of Japan]] and many more; not to mention similar categories for Valued or Featured images) and bringing chaos in the system this way. - [[User:A.Savin|A.Savin]] 13:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 
The same situation was with other category tree, when a user took categories with typical names of "This street" or "That street" or "Third street", removed them from a mother-category "Buildings of Town" and collected them into into a mother-category "Streets of the Town". The issue was, there were no images of streets in these categories, only images of buildings. When asked about the reason to collect the buildings images into the streets super-category, that user kept silence and avoided any explaining speech. Now there exist several empty and useless "streets" categories. Maybe someone will pay attention and solve this issue.--[[User:PereslavlFoto|PereslavlFoto]] ([[User talk:PereslavlFoto|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 13:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

::The quality images related issues are a long standing disagreement (See for example [[:User_talk:Martin_H./Archive_19#Featured_pictures_of_the_United_States]]) between "maintenance" and "topical" categories. I could not find immediately other similar discussions.
::While I share Martin's concerns about the danger of deeper and deeper side categories that form a parallel system to the current category system (it could lead to quality image categories for each "topical" category), I disagree that those are really maintenance categories. The fundamental problem is that indeed we have on Commons no "labelling" system that allows to select in a certain category media with a certain attribute, such as B&W, video, audio, SVG, QI, VI, Featured pictures, aerial, panoramic, date (range), superseded, ... and more arguably heritage buildings, author, ... So we have a permanent problem to find compromises about the depth and visibility of such categories. It is true that Martin is rather inflexible on his point and that he don't want the same discussion to be repeated over and over again. --[[User:Foroa|Foroa]] ([[User talk:Foroa|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 16:51, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 
This seems more like a policy issue than a user issue. It needs to be settled whether QI categories and the like are to be within the topic category tree or not (and that's a job for the Village Pump or a [[COM:RFC|RFC]], or perhaps elsewhere, but not here). Of course, long-term it would be best if Commons' browsing system was intelligent enough to do filtering and sorting, including by quality status...

{{Ping|Bedivere}} I am experiencing punitive nominations. Are there an actions that can be taken to stop this behavior? It has a chilling effect of participating in debates. About 20 years ago someone did the same thing when I opposed their nomination for deletion of an image. If you want to harass someone, all you have to do is nominate every image they uploaded as a punishment. This is not behavior expected of an administrator, its is a misuse of their status as administrator, to punish someone who opposed a single edit. President Richard Nixon would have the IRS audit people on his [[wikidata:Q182793|enemies list]], this is the same behavior, it was part of his articles of impeachment to remove him from office. I do not think Bedivere has the temperament to have access to administrative tools. The punishment appears to be [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AWilliam_Francis_Norton_%281857-1939%29_memoir.pdf&diff=877694437&oldid=877690897 over this edit] where the threat "Stop disrupting the project. Do not readd the text or you will get blocked." is made. Bedivere also removed the valid license in their deletion. This is a ridiculous amount of drama over a single edit and a valid interpretation of Commons policy. Institutionalized harassment has a chilling effect on people participating. Is there a policy against using punitive nominations to punish people that have opposed you in a debate? See above where User:Ankry is also harassing me over the same edit. User:Ankry and User:Bedivere appear to be working in tandem to harass/punish me. See: [[Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )]] --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 18:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
== Removal of file list [[Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-Afghanistan]] ==
: I have acknowledged (in the deletion request) that it was an error to make such a big deletion request. I still maintain that many of these uploads are out of scope. Additionally, many of them have dubious or entirely incorrect licensing. I deleted a couple, actually. Will do so when I've got the time. However, I think that calling this some kind of witch-hunting is both excessive and not really correct. Moreover, you say I do not have "the temperament to have access to administrative tools". You have failed to give appropriate responses to the more than appropriate concerns raised here and on the deletion requests. You have failed to respond how are these in scope (disregarding the existence of the Wikidata items you created). I have not contacted nor have even ever message if I recall correctly Ankry - calling this a "working in tandem to harass/punish" you is not assuming good faith and is unacceptable. These statements [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons%3ADeletion_requests%2FFile%3AWilliam_Francis_Norton_%281857-1939%29_death_certificate.pdf&diff=878306310&oldid=878282376] on a "harassment/punishment campaign" are out of line too. I will keep myself away from this discussion if that helps cooling down this, but I do assert that RAN's actions and statements should be worthy an apology, at least, and getting them retracted. Finally, regarding the removal of the license which you claim I apparently did on purpose, I only reverted your edits to the previous by Ankry. --[[User:Bedivere|Bedivere]] ([[User talk:Bedivere|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
:: The most fundamental tenet of our [[Commons:Scope]] is clear: "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose … '''if it is in use, that is enough ... It should be stressed that Commons does not overrule other projects about what is in scope."''' (my emphasis added) As an administrator you are aware of it. It only reinforces that you do not have the temperament to be entrusted with admin tools. You misinterpreted a fundamental policy and you punished/harassed me with massive punitive nominations over a single disputed edit. At that single edit you threatened me with: "Stop disrupting the project. Do not readd the text or you will get blocked. This belongs to Wikisource (if it is actually kept)" this was during an open debate about how much text can be displayed at Commons, or whether text needs to be embedded in a djvu or pdf. This is a serious amount of drama and frightening harassment over what was a legitimate policy debate. --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 20:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
:::Per [[Commons:Project scope]] "any use that is not made in good faith does not count."

* The problem of asserting that you can determine "good faith" means are able to determine the state of mind of the person at the time of adding a document, which can be highly subjective.

:::Just to throw it out there, I personally probably wouldn't have voted delete on most, if not all, of the images in the DR but that's mainly because they are in scope to begin with. I just think the guideline isn't as cut and dry as your making it out to be and the whole "but the files are in use" thing is particularly weak in this case considering the circumstances.

:::: United States copyright case law has ruled that an image is "made public" when it leaves the custody of the creator, it doesn't solely have to appear in a newspaper or magazine.

::::: I assume "Ancestory.com" is meant to be "Ancestry.com" (and, while I'm at it, that "baring" is "barring").
::::: Do note that under current U.S. copyright law, since the beginning of 2003, publishing any previously unpublished work work cannot gain any protection beyond ''p.m.a. + 70'' for a known author with a known date of death, or 120 years since creation otherwise.

Anyway, ancestory.com was founded in 1996 and as far as I know there's no way to know when exactly a work was uploaded there. Although I haven't looked that extensively into it, but there is a chance that images on the site were uploaded to it prior to 2003. So I assume they would be deleted per the precautionary principle just like any instance where we can't determine the exact publication date. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that though.

* The harassment has now migrated to Wikidata. They nominated a group of entries there, and added: "I think all of RAN's creations should be carefully reviewed". It is a dog whistle to recruit others to harass me with a punitive audit there, since the audit here failed. I do not think that Bedivere should have access to admin tools. They continue to show that they do not have the temperament for the job, they just can't seem to let go of the issue, which was a challenge to a single edit that occurred several days ago.

== Interruption from certain bnwiki editors in wikimedia commons campaign ==
I have compiled the list of files under [[Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-Afghanistan]] that are tagged with the template in question. Seemingly all of the images tagged with this template has a problem one way or another (some should even be re-tagged). The images are expected to comply with the three conditions below.
# ''The work was first published in Afghanistan.''
# ''The authors of the work are citizens of Afghanistan and are not also citizens or permanent residents of any country that participates in the Berne Convention.''
# ''Within thirty days of its first publication in Afghanistan, the work was never published in any country that participates in the Berne Convention.''
 
We are organizing [[Commons:Wiki Loves Earth 2024 in Bangladesh|Wiki Loves Earth in Bangladesh 2024]] from [[Commons:Project Korikath]].
I was going to make an effort (with the help of others) to review the individual images to make sure if they are complying with the three conditions the template presents and try to re-tag them with something more suitable.
We have received interruption during our [[:bn:ব্যবহারকারী আলাপ:Romaine#Kindly disable the banner for this wiki|CNBanner]] and [[:bn:ব্যবহারকারী আলাপ:Romaine#Remove message from my talk page|Massmessage]]. The rationale stated is, the organzers (including me) of this campaign is blocked on bnwiki and so I can't organize the campaign on commons.
 
There is already [[:m:Requests for comment/Block without any proof, warning, public investigation and discussion|one RfC on meta]] regarding my bnwiki block. There is [[:m:Requests for comment/Intentional disruptive editing by bnwiki admin|another RfC]] regarding alleged disruptive editing by the individual who is most actively involved in the aforementioned disruptions. This person threatened one of our contributors over facebook messenger and made him remove ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ATraditional_fair_in_Bangladesh_51.jpg&diff=849142535&oldid=848639851&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0peC5jcRZe48O9fB646rRDtOVcSvSa2fkLG3HTjD888wkVLkAA5rPoEmU_aem_AdmbFHV4eicPGhnyYPhqNqHOTOAi-s_fy1IG3bi658jC7yOpMA2NjE0ycOeQm3_EuwosVOdvtiYZBxIMfAq8cZJh one of over forty]) his uploads from our last wikimedia commons campaign, we have evidence of that. The same person got engaged in an [[d:Talk:Q7380438#প্রশ্ন|edit war]] a few days ago with our contributor on wikidata. There are several wmf t&s cases against these certain people.
A user (admin) {{User|Cambalachero}} has removed my entry to the above page twice so far: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons%3ADeletion_requests%2FTemplate%3APD-Afghanistan&diff=67557551&oldid=67557391 with this edit a second time]. I will not revert a second time.
 
I am not engaging with bnwiki anymore and investing my skill, network and effort for Wikimedia Commons. Since all the campaigns arranged by me or my team is taking place on commons, bnwiki is irrelevant there and demand of removing bnwiki editors from our massmessage list, removing CNBanner from all user with Bangla as the interface language from all wikis (including commons) is completely irrelevant and it disregards the autonomy of other projects considering the fact that a language can't be owned by anyone. I am raising this matter to the community since the insentisity of disruption is raising everyday. If we did anything unconstructive which is harmful to wikimedia commons, we are open to the consequences and discussion. But we don't want anyone outside wikimedia commons to disrupt our wikimedia commons campaigns and projects.--[[User:Mrb Rafi|Mrb Rafi]] ([[User talk:Mrb Rafi|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:49, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
I find this disruptive as the user has removed the entry twice so far making the individual analysis of every image difficult. The list would have made it possible for the discussion of individual images to be more visible. This is the purpose of COM:DEL. Alternative method is individually nominating 703 files one at a time with 703 new entries to com:del which in my view would be very disruptive.

::I believe it has been said quite a number of times that non-Commons dramas should not be used to disturb contributors/contributions on Wikimedia Commons.

:::::'''This incident does significantly impacts Wikimedia Commons.''' Blocking the CNBanner or mass message on Wikimedia Commons should be invalid without a community consensus on Wikimedia Commons.

Before reaching such a clear community consensus, blocking any CNBanner or mass message on wikimedia commons is invalid and an abuse of power.

:Hi russavia, thanks for your comment. What I want is stated right at the start. Rd232 restructured (in fact it is a deletion) a discussion in the way he likes (up to now I avoided to mention: some here might remember that this occurrence is not the first time if this controversial restructuring) and I do not agree with that but he insists to delete my comments by reverting. --[[User:Saibo|Saibo]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Saibo|<small>Δ</small>]]) 15:39, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

But then [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Requests_for_comment/PD_review&diff=prev&oldid=67714635 this] is out of line. Removing discussion because it's 'heated' is equivalent with trying to channel it in the direction that one wants it to go. Such moves, '''especially during the heated discussion''' are very contravercial, and should be avoided wherever possible. [[User:Beta_M|VolodyA! V Anarhist]] <small>Beta_M</small> ([[User talk:Beta_M|converse]]) 16:19, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
:::It would help if you quoted the full edit summary: ''move heated '''meta discussion''' to talk, keeping quote of materially relevant part'' [emphasis added]. All the comments moved to talk were because they were disruptive, or responses to those comments which added nothing to the discussion of the RFC subject. Moreover they were almost entirely ''meta'' comments (complaining ''about'' the RFC or the Commons policy it's based on, not ''participating'' in it). Moving these comments was necessary because such disruption should not be tolerated. I tolerated quite a bit, but when Saibo came back ''again'' with the same [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons%3ARequests_for_comment%2FPD_review&diff=67389998&oldid=67355572 disruptive comments], it was too much. After those comments a previously active discussion had no contributions for a week, and a causal element cannot be ruled out. But whether the disruption succeeded or not, there is no doubt that Saibo ''intended'' to stop the RFC achieving anything, and by definition that is disruptive.

I clearly stated what I want in the AN section you (Russavia) closed:
:[[User:Saibo]] has repeatedly made disruptive comments at [[Commons:Requests for comment/PD review‎]], per his apparent belief that the second bullet point in the heading of [[COM:L]] (media must be "in the public domain in at least the United States ''and'' in the source country of the work") is not in fact policy, and that therefore attempts to ensure that PD-tagged images comply with this are some sort of "US-centric" chauvinism. I eventually moved those disruptive comments to the RFC talkpage (quoting on the main RFC page the only part that actually was relevant to the RFC), and pointed out by email that if he wanted to change policy, he was welcome to try. In response he raised [[Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Vandalism#Arbitrary_discussion_deletion]]. He is now edit-warring [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons%3ARequests_for_comment%2FPD_review&diff=67732186&oldid=67731922 this claim] into the RFC page, and from discussion at AIV and his user talk page clearly is not going to desist.

And I've mentioned it at [[Commons:Requests_for_comment/PD_review#Reducing_dependence_on_US_copyright_laws]].

:Again doublespeak. You are the one who demands this discussion - not me (like you try to put it here). I fail to see how this should be "goodwill" - to the opposite since you use try to coin (or establish/push it as solution) the term "Commons abroad" (that is a non-neutral page title).

:If you which to "draw a line" then restore the deleted discussion parts. --[[User:Saibo|Saibo]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Saibo|<small>Δ</small>]]) 19:57, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
::Well there goes ''that'' olive branch... Look, I'm not coining or "pushing" anything. "Commons Abroad" was coined by Dcoetzee [[Commons:Deletion_requests/All_files_copyrighted_in_the_US_under_the_URAA#4_-_Commons_Abroad|in the URAA DR]] (as far as I know) as a perfectly reasonable handle for the idea of hosting files outside the US, where they might not be subject to US copyright laws (though it's probably not that easy to really dissociate WMF from such a non-US-based Commons). The fact that you cannot seem to get your head around the fact that Commons is hosted in the US and run by a US organisation and subject to US laws is not ''my'' fault: I've tried to explain it to you. And I've raised the RFC I previously suggested you start, because it gives you (and others who were interested, the DR had plenty of activity) a chance to discuss whether there is a way for Commons (or at least other Wikimedia projects) to host content currently subject to US copyright restrictions. [[User:Rd232|Rd232]] ([[User talk:Rd232|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 20:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Again, I do not need that discussion - the content ever was and belongs to Commons. And if the WMF does see any need that hosting this public domain (except in one country) content does not fit their home jurisdiction ''they'' can think about what they want to do (that may be moving to another country). --[[User:Saibo|Saibo]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Saibo|<small>Δ</small>]]) 20:48, 1 March 2012 (UTC) But, ehm, that here is the wrong place to discuss that. --[[User:Saibo|Saibo]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Saibo|<small>Δ</small>]]) 20:50, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
::::I raised it with Jimbo in December, and the response made it clear that moving abroad wasn't something the WMF would consider at the moment (practicalities, plus moving to another jurisdiction means then being subject to ''those'' laws, which may be much more restrictive in some regards like free speech or fair use). The WMF position is quite clear, that copyright violations should be removed, and URAA creates a new class of copyright violations. Nobody likes it, but that's the situation. I wouldn't mind if you were energetically trying to ''change'' that somehow, but all your efforts seem to involve some form of denial of the facts. That denial (to bring this back ontopic) extends to disrupting attempts to deal with the situation as it exists, and that disruption is what I attempted to deal with.

::::: I do not agree with your deletion attempts and you don't like that so you deleted my comments ("deal[t] with"). Of course my comment and even my presence is disruption from your point of view since it is the opposite of helping with your "effort" (quoted from somewhere else).

::::::I've explained my and your actions repeatedly, and engaged with your bizarre, unsupported and illogical position on Commons not needing to respect US law (which you'd previously tried repeatedly to inject disruptively into a discussion on how to comply with US law), and tried to feed that into a constructive direction (ways to reduce the impact of US law on what Commons wants to achieve). At this point you're just repeating yourself, with decreasing amounts of rationality, both here and elsewhere. Frankly, I'm starting to wonder how compatible with Commons adminship is the belief (which you apparently sincerely hold and cannot be shifted from) that Commons does not need to comply with US law.

User:BMarGlines[edit]

User indefinitely blocked for disruptive behavior. All files deleted, but some have since been restored per the request of the user who first reported BMarGlines, as they were used on the English Wikipedia and seem to be legitimate. --Bedivere (talk) 04:56, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user appears to be uploading homemade TV station logos, particularly for CW affiliates. These logos are not used on air or on the stations' websites. I have nominated these logos for deletion. This user has already been warned over on Wikipedia (w:User talk:BMarGlines#May 2024). Mvcg66b3r (talk) 16:58, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at one of the so-called station logos for WCAX and it's not accurate either. File:WCAX 2023.jpg I have nominated that for deletion as a hoax. Possible that many of this users uploads may be fan creations of some sort. -- William Graham (talk) 05:16, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
BMarGlines has been blocked at Wikipedia for a week for continuing to upload fanmade logos. They should be blocked indefinitely here at Commons and all their uploads deleted. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 13:59, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Last time I was open to give BMarGlines a chance to amend their behavior. Not anymore. I have blocked them indefinitely and have deleted all of their uploads. If they ever get an unblock, their uploads should be closely monitored. Bedivere (talk) 03:26, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the removed logos should be restored, as they are in actual use (e.g. the Gray NBC affiliate logos without the peacock). Mvcg66b3r (talk) 03:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You said "all their uploads [should be] deleted" and that's what I did. I saw no other alternative anyway, given their disruptive behavior. Anyway, if you point me out which ones you want restored, I will proceed. I did review some of them and could not decide some could be legitimate. Bedivere (talk) 03:56, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have restored those that were in use on the English Wikipedia. If you need any other restored, please let me know. Bedivere (talk) 04:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Punitive deletion nominations[edit]

@Bedivere: I am experiencing punitive nominations. Are there an actions that can be taken to stop this behavior? It has a chilling effect of participating in debates. About 20 years ago someone did the same thing when I opposed their nomination for deletion of an image. If you want to harass someone, all you have to do is nominate every image they uploaded as a punishment. This is not behavior expected of an administrator, its is a misuse of their status as administrator, to punish someone who opposed a single edit. President Richard Nixon would have the IRS audit people on his enemies list, this is the same behavior, it was part of his articles of impeachment to remove him from office. I do not think Bedivere has the temperament to have access to administrative tools. The punishment appears to be over this edit where the threat "Stop disrupting the project. Do not readd the text or you will get blocked." is made. Bedivere also removed the valid license in their deletion. This is a ridiculous amount of drama over a single edit and a valid interpretation of Commons policy. Institutionalized harassment has a chilling effect on people participating. Is there a policy against using punitive nominations to punish people that have opposed you in a debate? See above where User:Ankry is also harassing me over the same edit. User:Ankry and User:Bedivere appear to be working in tandem to harass/punish me. See: Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) --RAN (talk) 18:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have acknowledged (in the deletion request) that it was an error to make such a big deletion request. I still maintain that many of these uploads are out of scope. Additionally, many of them have dubious or entirely incorrect licensing. I deleted a couple, actually. Will do so when I've got the time. However, I think that calling this some kind of witch-hunting is both excessive and not really correct. Moreover, you say I do not have "the temperament to have access to administrative tools". You have failed to give appropriate responses to the more than appropriate concerns raised here and on the deletion requests. You have failed to respond how are these in scope (disregarding the existence of the Wikidata items you created). I have not contacted nor have even ever message if I recall correctly Ankry - calling this a "working in tandem to harass/punish" you is not assuming good faith and is unacceptable. These statements [1] on a "harassment/punishment campaign" are out of line too. I will keep myself away from this discussion if that helps cooling down this, but I do assert that RAN's actions and statements should be worthy an apology, at least, and getting them retracted. Finally, regarding the removal of the license which you claim I apparently did on purpose, I only reverted your edits to the previous by Ankry. --Bedivere (talk) 19:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The most fundamental tenet of our Commons:Scope is clear: "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose … if it is in use, that is enough ... It should be stressed that Commons does not overrule other projects about what is in scope." (my emphasis added) As an administrator you are aware of it. It only reinforces that you do not have the temperament to be entrusted with admin tools. You misinterpreted a fundamental policy and you punished/harassed me with massive punitive nominations over a single disputed edit. At that single edit you threatened me with: "Stop disrupting the project. Do not readd the text or you will get blocked. This belongs to Wikisource (if it is actually kept)" this was during an open debate about how much text can be displayed at Commons, or whether text needs to be embedded in a djvu or pdf. This is a serious amount of drama and frightening harassment over what was a legitimate policy debate. --RAN (talk) 20:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per Commons:Project scope "any use that is not made in good faith does not count." There's been at least a couple discussions recently about people adding files to other project in order to save them from being deleted and the consensus at least from those conversations was pretty clear that it's not a good faithed way to use something. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:47, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem of asserting that you can determine "good faith" means are able to determine the state of mind of the person at the time of adding a document, which can be highly subjective. And we all need to remember: discussions are not policy and essays are not policy and opinions are not policy and emotions are not policy. --RAN (talk) 01:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to throw it out there, I personally probably wouldn't have voted delete on most, if not all, of the images in the DR but that's mainly because they are in scope to begin with. I just think the guideline isn't as cut and dry as your making it out to be and the whole "but the files are in use" thing is particularly weak in this case considering the circumstances. Especially since the at least IMO most of the images are probably worth keeping regardless. Baring ones that are clearly from Ancestory.com and/or don't have proof of prior publication. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:43, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
United States copyright case law has ruled that an image is "made public" when it leaves the custody of the creator, it doesn't solely have to appear in a newspaper or magazine. See: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Minerva Kohlhepp Teichert 1908.jpg for a cogent discussion of the relevant case law. --RAN (talk) 02:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I assume "Ancestory.com" is meant to be "Ancestry.com" (and, while I'm at it, that "baring" is "barring").
Do note that under current U.S. copyright law, since the beginning of 2003, publishing any previously unpublished work work cannot gain any protection beyond p.m.a. + 70 for a known author with a known date of death, or 120 years since creation otherwise. So if it was first published on Ancestry.com in 2003 or later, the copyright situation is exactly the same as if it were unpublished. - Jmabel ! talk 04:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel: Yeah, sorry. Phone editing. Blame the stupid interface. Anyway, ancestory.com was founded in 1996 and as far as I know there's no way to know when exactly a work was uploaded there. Although I haven't looked that extensively into it, but there is a chance that images on the site were uploaded to it prior to 2003. So I assume they would be deleted per the precautionary principle just like any instance where we can't determine the exact publication date. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that though.
I'm going to guess that in some cases some combination of Internet Archive, information about when someone created an account, etc., can help us pin down a date pretty well. - Jmabel ! talk 06:16, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I'm sure that's totally the process RAN went through before he uploaded images from there to. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If an actual link to the photograph / file on Ancestry.com could be provided, there would be a date, since they do display them. But RAN deliberatedly ommited linking to the files/images. Bedivere (talk) 17:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RAN: where did I say something "solely has to appear in a newspaper or magazine" to be published? Because I don't think that's what I said. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): correctly pinging RAN. RodRabelo7 (talk) 17:31, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The harassment has now migrated to Wikidata. They nominated a group of entries there, and added: "I think all of RAN's creations should be carefully reviewed". It is a dog whistle to recruit others to harass me with a punitive audit there, since the audit here failed. I do not think that Bedivere should have access to admin tools. They continue to show that they do not have the temperament for the job, they just can't seem to let go of the issue, which was a challenge to a single edit that occurred several days ago. This is extremely concerning since I edit under my real name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs) 05:52, 23 May 2024 (UTC) (UTC)[reply]
Could you please stop making personal attacks? You also fail to assume good faith and have intensively attacked me, so far without sanction. I will not feed the troll anymore and I will only clarify that such "now migrated" "harassment" thread was started nearly two days ago. I've got enough of this unnecessarily dramatic situation. Someone should take the mop and close these threads with a result, as it seems now, it's getting nowhere. Bedivere (talk) 06:36, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So "I think all of RAN's creations should be carefully reviewed", "RAN deliberatedly ommited linking" and "I will not feed the troll anymore" are not personal attacks? You don't seem to be offering good faith at the same time you're demanding it.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:20, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've been consistently accused by RAN of a harassment campaign, which is not the case. Bedivere (talk) 19:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interruption from certain bnwiki editors in wikimedia commons campaign[edit]

We are organizing Wiki Loves Earth in Bangladesh 2024 from Commons:Project Korikath. We have received interruption during our CNBanner and Massmessage. The rationale stated is, the organzers (including me) of this campaign is blocked on bnwiki and so I can't organize the campaign on commons.

There is already one RfC on meta regarding my bnwiki block. There is another RfC regarding alleged disruptive editing by the individual who is most actively involved in the aforementioned disruptions. This person threatened one of our contributors over facebook messenger and made him remove (one of over forty) his uploads from our last wikimedia commons campaign, we have evidence of that. The same person got engaged in an edit war a few days ago with our contributor on wikidata. There are several wmf t&s cases against these certain people.

I am not engaging with bnwiki anymore and investing my skill, network and effort for Wikimedia Commons. Since all the campaigns arranged by me or my team is taking place on commons, bnwiki is irrelevant there and demand of removing bnwiki editors from our massmessage list, removing CNBanner from all user with Bangla as the interface language from all wikis (including commons) is completely irrelevant and it disregards the autonomy of other projects considering the fact that a language can't be owned by anyone. I am raising this matter to the community since the insentisity of disruption is raising everyday. If we did anything unconstructive which is harmful to wikimedia commons, we are open to the consequences and discussion. But we don't want anyone outside wikimedia commons to disrupt our wikimedia commons campaigns and projects.--Mrb Rafi (talk) 18:49, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that bn-wiki can prevent you from putting banners on their wiki and messaging users on their wiki, and that is not anything Commons can affect.
Of course you can message the same users on Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 04:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it has been said quite a number of times that non-Commons dramas should not be used to disturb contributors/contributions on Wikimedia Commons. Most necessarily, when those dramas harm campaigns that contribute to the overall development of Wikimedia Commons. Bangla Wikipedia drama in this case should not be used to hunt/kill any activity here however I don't really know how CNBanners work but citing that drama for it to be entirely disabled on Commons from bn-language interface editors feels very odd. ─ Aafī (talk) 18:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shocking to see that two bnwiki admins, ordered a commons admin, on bnwiki, to remove something on commons.
The above-mentioned user's behavior specifically is problematic. He threatened me also over Facebook messenger as I am a contributor of this initiative and told me to stop contributing. I know several contributors who experienced the same. Tanvir Rahat (talk) 13:32, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case please contact meta:Trust and Safety. This not nothing we can resolve here. GPSLeo (talk) 14:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This incident does significantly impacts Wikimedia Commons. Blocking the CNBanner or mass message on Wikimedia Commons should be invalid without a community consensus on Wikimedia Commons. Every user, regardless of interface language, should have access to the CNBanner on Wikimedia Commons.
I found the information of several existing T&S cases and law enforcement investigations against the mentioned individuals. So, T&S is informed.
The abuse of advanced rights and on-wiki influence by these individuals must be confined to bnwiki, where there is an ongoing RfC addressing this monopolization. If these individuals aim to block a CNBanner or mass message on Commons, we require a specific community consensus from Commons explicitly stating this prohibition. Before reaching such a clear community consensus, blocking any CNBanner or mass message on wikimedia commons is invalid and an abuse of power.
Evidence of cross-wiki vandalism by these individuals is obvious in the above text and other linked docs. Since this abuse undermines Wikimedia Commons' existence as an autonomous wikimedia project, the Commons community retains the authority to take appropriate corrective measures. Ifteebd10 (talk) 09:06, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Banners are also nothing we can discuss or decide on Commons. This has to be discussed and decided on Meta. GPSLeo (talk) 13:42, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
