Category:Media without a license as of 30 April 2025

Hi. Please advise. --Krd 07:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Krd: I fixed the licenses on the couple of files that were left from the import. The few that I didn't were copyrighted and the rest of the images are from someone else. Although it looks like they could be licensed as "PD-USGov" but I'll leave @SecretName101: to fix it if they want to. Otherwise you can delete the remaining files. Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 08:05, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Krd 10:04, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I just used a batch approach to correctly tag a bunch of the ones from Department of Veterans Affairs. - Jmabel ! talk 18:29, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:30, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see now that some may have been double-tagged, because someone else already added the correct tag without using the warning. But I think that is relatively harmless. - Jmabel ! talk 18:31, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And there are more where BotMultichillT has added the correct tag without using the warning, that I'm not going to be easily able to fix. So Krd, be really careful about any deletion here, because there are a bunch of correctly tagged Department of Veterans Affairs files in Category:Media without a license as of 30 April 2025. - Jmabel ! talk 18:36, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request granted

This blocked user asked to be unblocked, and one or more administrators has reviewed and granted this request.

Request reason: "First Yann falsely reports me for supposedly making threats on his talk page. Then when I respond to him insulting and threating me by pointing out mistakes he's made in the past I get blocked for intimidation and harassment. This is clearly harassment and an abuse of the administrator privileges on his end. He's just abusing the tools because his retaliatory ANU complaint didn't go anywhere. He has a history of unliterally blocking me over non-issues and without consensus. This is just more of the same retaliatory, bullying behavior because he's ANU complaint didn't get any traction."

Unblock reason: "Procedural closure of this unblock request as Yann already lifted it. Bedivere (talk) 15:54, 12 May 2025 (UTC)"[reply]

I do not think Yann was an appropriate person to block this user; for very similar reasons, I would not be an appropriate person to unblock, so I'm leaving it at this comment. - Jmabel ! talk 20:31, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to agree, Yann is far too involved. If there was any real acute need for this, Yann should have requested it through the relevant channels and had some other admin do it. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:50, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The block was definitely formally incorrect. Based on the reasons I would consider the block justified. As basically every admin on Commons is involved here in some way I would propose to give this case to the U4C. GPSLeo (talk) 22:14, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not super up on how the U4C works. Nor do I know how to file a request. Perhaps @King of Hearts: can look at it since he's not involved and reverted a similar block a few years ago. I generally have respect for his opinion. I'm more then willing to just drop it or take a week off if he reblocks me and we all agree that it was inapropriate for Yann to do the block. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:25, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I think this diff by Alachuckthebuck should be considered along with it. They make a couple of good points. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:40, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK I unblocked Adamant1 as being involved. However the reason for the block remains. Yann (talk) 13:44, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:20, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GPSLeo: Just to throw it out there since you started the administrator discussion about adding this to the U4C case, but there's been more then a couple of times where Yann blocked people that he was involved in disputes with, me included. A lot of this wouldn't have happened on my side if you guys were more serious about dealing with administrator misconduct. Regardless, there's clearly a problem with Yann using his privileges in an inappropriate way. So I think it would be worth getting the U4C involved since it doesn't seem to be something the community is willing to, or capable of, dealing with. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:49, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris.sherlock2: Just an FYI, but I reported Yann for INVOLVED editing before and I just get attacked. The same thing happened when I emailed a couple of administrators asking them how to deal with the issue. I don't remember the exact conversations, but I've also asked Yann to back off me several times. He wasn't willing to. So this seemed like the only way to deal with it given that nothing else worked. Could I have approached the whole thing better? Sure, but Yann had several opportunities to back off on his end. Otherwise, it should have been dealt with by other administrators or the community before it got to this point. This is just what happens when complaints about administrators are handwaved as crying wolf and are dismissed as conspiracy theories. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:40, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.

If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

@Krd: Someone can transfer my comment over to the ANU complaint if they want to, but I was in the process of going through the files from the import and nominating the small number that were copyrighted for deletion when the whole thing with Yann happened. Since @A.Savin: mentioned it in the ANU complaint, I imported 13000 files from Flickr, a small amount of which were copyrighted. I've been going through and dealing with the ones that were in the last couple of weeks. I wouldn't call it NOTHERE behavior since COPYVIO can sometimes be uploaded by accident as part of an import. It happens quite frequently with bots importing images from GLAMs. Know one is claiming they aren't here to build a media repository or having them blocked over it. At least I've been actively going through the files and nominating the ones that are copyrighted for deletion. Something bot owners usually don't bother to do. Of course I support deleting any images that violate copyright. Again, I was in the middle of nominating them for deletion when I was blocked. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:35, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seconding this. I wrote a similar remark at COM:AN before just now noticing this here. - Jmabel ! talk 01:21, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
