User:Finoskov

User:Finoskov made the same errors since years. I tried to discuss with him in the past. Look at User talk:Finoskov#Category:Bugatti Type 28 and Category:Bugatti type 28 torpédo 1921 (Cité de l'Automobile), User talk:Finoskov# Second problem, User talk:Finoskov# Third problem, User talk:Finoskov#category-changes, User talk:Finoskov#D'Ieteren. No success.

One part is his matter with creating new categories, moving files from existing categories in his new categories and speedy deletion requests to the old=empty categories. Instead of moving categories. Losing category history, sometimes category talk pages, and often creating failures in articles in German and other wikipedias with links to commons.

Categories like Category:1920s Bugatti automobiles in the Musée National de l'Automobile. All files in the category must match the category name. Pictures showing older or younger Bugatti automobiles are not allowed. Pictures showing something else than Bugatti automobiles are not allowed. Pictures made elsewhere than in this museum are not allowed. But we find Category:Bugatti Prototype 28 torpedo (M.N.A.0310) 1921 (chassis 5001) with Category:Paris - Retromobile 2012 - Bugatti type 28 Torpedo made at an old car show in Paris. Wrong! Also we find Category:Bugatti Type 43 Graber roadster (M.N.A.0616) 1928 (chassis 43-258) with Category:Bugatti Type 43 Grand Sport 1928 (chassis 43-258), inclusive pictures made in Sweden in den 1930s, long before the opening of the museum.

Other example: Category:1921 automobiles in museums. We find Category:Ballot 3/8 LC biplace de course (Musée National de l'Automobile) with pictures made at Retromobile in Paris.

Category:Roadsters made in France was wrong in the past before I used Category talk:Roadsters made in France. No answer by Finoskov, only by another author.

Category:Voisin cabriolets (French language) with two subcategories. Category:Voisin C15 Charnico "Petit Duc" cabriolet 1928 (chassis 27 086) has at least one picture made in Netherlands: File:Avions-Voisin C15.jpg. Category:Voisin C30 Louis Dubos cabriolet 1938 (chassis 60 007) has only one picture, apparently made in Mullin Museum in USA: File:Avions Voisin C 30 Louis Dubos cabriolet 1938.jpg

The newest error and the reason for this message. Category:Panhard & Levassor Type X29 Sport 20 torpedo (M.N.A.2213) 1920-30 (chassis 8 156) has one picture: File:Panhard & Levassor X29 Torpedo 1925 (6853815687).jpg, made at Bremen Motor Show in Bremen, Germany. Last weekend I removed the two wrong categories claiming that this car was not photographed in a museum. I used Category talk:Panhard & Levassor Type X29 Sport 20 torpedo (M.N.A.2213) 1920-30 (chassis 8 156) with explanation and Ping to Finoskov. No answer. Today he made a revert without further details. --Buch-t (talk) 13:21, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

• @Buch-t: What here are you saying is an administrative issue, and what are you asking someone to do? Normally, content and categorization disagreements are not administrative matters. - Jmabel ! talk 02:02, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

I warned Finoskov several times years ago. One could consider removing ns Category access for, say, a month, hoping that they will change their behavior then. --Achim55 (talk) 07:11, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

I do not understand ns in One could consider removing ns Category access for, say, a month....

I created the German articles to every Panhard & Levassor model in the past. For this reason I have a lot of this files and categories in my watch list. 2 two weeks I checked some edits made by Finoskov. I changed only some small things. I created some category talks, all with Ping to Finoskov. I hoped for comments. I received nothing. If he is not willing to discuss then he should avoid controversial things.

1. Category talk:Panhard & Levassor Type A2 tonneau fermé (M.N.A.2220) 1899 (chassis 474) wrong datas in the source. Dimensions normalisées L (longueur/length) = 292 ; la (largeur/width) = 280 ; h (hauteur/height) = 225. This car cannot be 280 cm width. Through Wikidata the wrong width came to Commons. I hoped for an answer like this: „Yes, it must be wrong, I deleted the width everywhere inclusive Wikidata.“ But nothing happened. If I change the width at wikidata then I expect a revert because the source wrote 280 cm width.
2. Category talk:Panhard & Levassor automobiles The sorting order is not clear. I had created my favorite beginning with T as Type in the past. Now he changed some, but not all, to sorting without Type. I started discussion. After that he changed more, but not all, to his favorite.
3. Category talk:Panhard & Levassor 6 CV Charrette Anglaise 1897. This car made in 1897 cannot be a Type A1/A2 which was introduced 1899. I am excited to see if I will be reverted here too.
4. Category talk:Panhard & Levassor X49 two-seater 20 CV Sport (M.N.A.6009) 1932 I wanted sources for this category. This Type 49 was not built 1932. Something is wrong.
5. Category talk:Panhard & Levassor automobiles by chassis number Here I wanted a description for his sorting order. And noted that his system (when I understand his system) is limited to chassis numbers up to 99999. But there are lot of cars of Panhard & Levassor with chassis numbers over 100000 and over 200000.
6. Category talk:Panhard & Levassor Type X29 Sport 20 torpedo (M.N.A.2213) 1920-30 (chassis 8 156)#Chassis number I noted that he created a category with this source. Note the question mark in Numéro de série : n° châssis 8156 ? The source is not sure about the chassis number. A 4-digit-number is not usual for a 1920 Panhard & Levassor. But Finoskov created the category with this name without stating any doubts.
7. Category talk:Panhard & Levassor Type X29 Sport 20 torpedo (M.N.A.2213) 1920-30 (chassis 8 156)#Categories wrong category tree (picture made in Bremen not in the museum in Mulhouse): I tried to explain things like this to Finoskov in the last years - problably withour success. I removed the wrong categories with edit comment and creating the category talk and sent Ping to Finoskov. He made re-revert without comment without using any talk page. This must be misuse of the revert function.

Regarding the problem that Finoskov creates new categories and then empties existing categories and has them deleted via a quick deletion request, I also found: Category:Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Coupe Saoutchik 1948 and User talk:Túrelio, where Túrelio confirmed that Finoskov's approach is not compliant with the rules.

I want that Finoskov will follow the rules and discuss controversial cases. Apparently, he needs a clear message from an administrator, a requirement (I do not know the english word for Adminauflage which is used in the German wikipedia) or a block, at least for certain areas. --Buch-t (talk) 08:07, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@Buch-t: I think what Achim55 meant by "ns" in "ns Category" is "namespace". I would have switched the word order.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:27, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Now I see that it is my job to inform Finoskov. Done. --Buch-t (talk) 14:06, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

• User: Rajasekhar1961 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user
• Reasons for reporting: For years, I have been railing against incomplete deletion requests, which are caused by malformed use of {{Delete}} templates and lack of follow-through, and which are populating subcats of Category:Incomplete deletion requests. This problem spurred the creation of that category 17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC), over 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over three years ago.

As precedents, ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke and was ultimately blocked indefinitely, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page" pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 34#Alex Neman.

Rajasekhar1961 made this edit 07:04, 30 September 2021 (UTC): not including reason, year, month, and day; not creating the subpage; not notifying; and not transcluding. I reminded them of their mistake and warned them in this edit 17:43, 14 January 2022 (UTC), creating User talk:Rajasekhar1961#Reminder. They replied "Thank you. I will follow it from now." in this edit 14:04, 15 January 2022 (UTC), but did not comply, as follows. They did it again in this deleted edit on or before 6 September 2022 (UTC): omitting reason, year, month, and day; not creating the subpage; and not transcluding. I notified and warned them in this edit 09:36, 6 September 2022 (UTC). They did it again in this deleted edit on or before 23 October 2024 (UTC): omitting year, month, and day; not creating the subpage; and not transcluding. They also have a long history of uploading copyvios and using DRs to try to delete categories (rather than speedies) after warnings. Please block them, as "We cannot work here with people who are not willing to follow our procedures, in particular for deletion requests." per AFBorchert.

  — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Two remarks. Firstly, Rajasekhar1961 fixed the mistake two minutes later and created a regular DR. I do not see here anything that warrants a block as everything else is from more than two years ago. Secondly, you are quoting me but the context of the quote is entirely different. This was from a case where someone removed and blanked deletion requests on their uploaded copyvios. --AFBorchert (talk) 11:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

@AFBorchert: I see your point, but I am not allowed to see that edit. Would you or Yann care to comment on the case of Bruno pnm ars, which sat here for a week before being archived to Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 117?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:34, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry for creating troublesome deletion requests. It is because of the lack of knowledge regarding the administrative procedure in doing so. Herafter, I would not use any deletion template, if so learn to create proper redirect. Sorry once again.--Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 06:38, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Rajasekhar1961: if you use the "Nominate for deletion" tool (typically in the left nav, but could be elsewhere in some skins), this sort of problem will never happen. - Jmabel ! talk 15:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Surely I will do that.Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 17:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I think this is resolved. The user seems now to understand the issue and clearly this was never intentional bad behavior, so no admin action to be taken. - Jmabel ! talk 20:58, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

User:Sbb1413

User:Sbb1413 has accumulated a history of problem edits, identified by various editors on his talk page and his talk page archive.

Recently (September 7), he added the following note to his user page, under the section heading, Note on nudity:

Although I may often work on categories related to nudity, I personally don't tolerate nude people (except small children and topless males). However, I believe that Wikimedia projects are not censored. So, I make sure the media depicting nudity are given dedicated categories to avoid intolerant users like me facing media depicting nudity. (My underlining.)

This strikes me as a red flag concerning this editor's editing motivation. The categorisation of files in WikiCommons is for rational organisation of content, and for ease of navigation and search, not to hide things from one user because of his (self declared) intolerance. It looks like an abuse of editing rights to suit himself, and not for the good of the project.

User:Sbb1413 is enormously prolific so I have not been able to find any examples of him recategorising nudity – so far – because he is so prodigious that finding any trends in his approach is very hard, but he has been questioned and criticised in the past for wreaking large-scale disruption because of inadvisable actions, on a massive scale.

If he has organised or will organise nude material purely to suit his personal intolerance, the scale of disruption and potential restoration work could be overwhelming.

Would an administrator examine this situation and take action to prevent (or reverse?) large-scale abuse, please. Spideog (talk) 23:05, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

In my view, avoiding categorizing pictures of nude people in places where they would not typically be expected is entirely commendable, regardless of motivation. Someone scanning Category:People with toothbrushes should not be seeing the images in Category:Nude or partially nude people with toothbrushes unless they actively choose to. I'd also be all for a way to filter such images out of general search results, though we've never been able to work out a consensus on that. But the "law of least surprise" says you should not see a bunch of pictures of naked people when you are looking for something entirely unrelated.

FWIW, I'm very far from a prude. I am sure I have uploaded several hundred images of naked people myself (mostly, but by no means exclusively, body-painted; about half of them riding bicycles). I would not want someone to find these by default when they are looking for an image of, say, someone riding a bicycle in Seattle.

I see nothing wrong with what Sbb1413 is doing in this respect. Is there any substantive edit of theirs that you find objectionable, or do you just dislike what motivates their work? Because, basically, if their edits are productive, I think the latter is really not anyone else's business. - Jmabel ! talk 02:34, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Seconding this. Both on Wikimedia projects and elsewhere, the use of images containing gratuitous nudity or otherwise shocking content irrelevant to the topic is widely considered inappropriate - e.g. see en:w:MOS:OMIMG and en:w:WP:GRATUITOUS for enwiki's take on the matter. When people come to Commons searching for an image about a topic, most of those users will consider an image of that topic with nudity unsuitable for their purposes. Placing those images in a separate subcategory makes it easier for those users to find usable images - and, if they are looking for an image with nudity, it makes those images more discoverable. Omphalographer (talk) 03:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Spideog: Yes, the above note on nudity is due to my recent contributions on categories related to nudity, and I sometimes do create nude categories by myself. Although I believe Commons is not censored (see babel), it does not mean that I can tolerate nudity, since nudity is rare among adults in India (except male toplessness, which is pretty common). My comment "So, I make sure the media depicting nudity are given dedicated categories to avoid intolerant users like me facing media depicting nudity" is valid, as no one should expect nude people in categories unrelated to nudity.

The categorisation of files in WikiCommons is for rational organisation of content, and for ease of navigation and search, not to hide things from one user because of his (self declared) intolerance. It looks like an abuse of editing rights to suit himself, and not for the good of the project.

It is indeed for the good for the project, as I mentioned "intolerant users like me", not "me as an intolerant user", as I think there might be other users who have similar issues. There's nothing to hide things from one user. If you want to see nude people standing, go to Category:Nude people standing, which is categorized under Category:People standing. The main categories are exclusively for clothed people, with nude people in subcats.

User:Sbb1413 is enormously prolific so I have not been able to find any examples of him recategorising nudity – so far – because he is so prodigious that finding any trends in his approach is very hard, but he has been questioned and criticised in the past for wreaking large-scale disruption because of inadvisable actions, on a massive scale.

I put nude people under nude categories only if such categories exist, otherwise I keep them under main categories. This is normal in categorization. Yes, I did a large-scale disruption in English Wikipedia, and I repeatedly seek apology for it. I'm currently more responsive while working in Wikimedia projects, including Commons. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 04:18, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Unless there are instances where the actions of the users are actually considered inappropriate (that users disagree with others is to be expected, even more so if one's contributions aren't limited to 500 in 4 years), I think Spideog should be reminded not poke users over their sensibilities and apologize to Sbb1413 for reporting them here.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 10:59, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

AlkyzawyHsyen

Last June I warned AlkyzawyHsyen (talk · contribs) that it is not appropriate to make accusations of "terror". An anonymous user stated on my user talk page that they had done so again. Since I don't speak Arabic, I hesitate to block on the basis of what I can understand through Google translate, but this would appear to be another instance of the same (besides being an inappropriate overwriting of an English-language caption with an Arabic one). I believe a block is in order, but it should probably come from someone who can read Arabic (Pinging @علاء, Dyolf77. - Jmabel ! talk 03:37, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

To be honest, it also escapes me why File:Standard of the President of Syria.svg is in scope at all if it is a "fictional flag," but I see that it is extensively used on various Wikipedias. It appears to be presented as non-fiction at en:President of Syria, en:Gallery of head of state standards, da:Præsidentflag, and elsewhere. While this is very peripheral to the immediate issue, I'd appreciate if anyone can explain this to me. - Jmabel ! talk 03:37, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Thespoondragon: perhaps you can elucidate. Also (if they are still around) Pinging @8UR1TT0 who added this to en:Flag of Syria, removing a referenced statement that there is no current Syrian presidential flag. - Jmabel ! talk 03:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment Hello Jmabel, I warned the user for the last time in Arabic here, in addition to WD. He may not know English, and it happened before with others. If he makes any new similar edit(s), the user will be blocked in both projects. I also watching his edits in Arabic Wikipedia, and if he makes any similar edits there, will also be blocked, and then the account can be globally locked as "cross-wiki abuse".

Regarding the "fictional flag" point, maybe باسم and/or Michel Bakni can comment on it? Thanks on advance --Alaa :)..! 18:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

@Alaa: Thank you very much. - Jmabel ! talk 18:59, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Seems to me that its fictional indeed. The Source is unreliable-- باسم (talk) 19:06, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

User:Nicosolv123

Has uploaded an image of a Teenager, that should support a bully action on norwegian Wikipedia (an insulting article is already deleted). I think, an indefinite block is the only possible way to act here. Marcus Cyron (talk) 12:36, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Marcus Cyron:  Not done No local action is needed here. They have been locked globally. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 13:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

9 copyright violations, and more on enwiki today. Their only upload I can find that wasn’t deleted is taken from a Reddit post three years ago. Northern Moonlight (talk) 03:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Chrymedia as sockpuppet

Per an overlap in uploads with other socks in this sock drawer (such as Sleevachan and Csmegb), I'm inclined to believe that Chrymedia is another account belonging to a paid employee of the Syro-Malabar Church. ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:22, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Harassment

Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/11/Category:Ivano-Frankivsk Raion - This nomination is next harassment for me from the side Laurel Lodged. Микола Василечко (talk) 15:53, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes opening a CfD without giving a reason is not a good practice. But this is far below form a behavior that could be considered harassment. If this would be harassment your comment "This discussion is nonsens!" would also have to be considered as problematic. You wrote your argument. Wait for the argument of the other side and comments from other users. GPSLeo (talk) 17:09, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
