== 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.

:::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.
:::# [[:Category talk:Panhard & Levassor Type A2 tonneau fermé (M.N.A.2220) 1899 (chassis 474)]] wrong datas in the [https://pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/palissy/PM68002004 source].  ''Dimensions normalisées L (longueur/length) = 292 ; la (largeur/width) = 280 ; h (hauteur/height) = 225.'' This car cannot be 280 cm width. Through [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q29112800&action=history 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.
:::# [[: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 [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Panhard_%26_Levassor_Type_X57&diff=prev&oldid=950322711 more], but not all, to his favorite.
:::# [[: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.
:::# [[: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.
:::# [[: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. 
:::# [[: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 [https://pop.culture.gouv.fr/notice/palissy/PM68001997 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. 
:::# [[: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 [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category%3APanhard_%26_Levassor_Type_X29_Sport_20_torpedo_%28M.N.A.2213%29_1920-30_%28chassis_8_156%29&diff=946523224&oldid=942282562 wrong categories] with edit comment and creating the category talk and sent Ping to Finoskov.

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: [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Talbot-Lago_T26_Grand_Sport_Coupe_Saoutchik_1948&action=history Category:Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport Coupe Saoutchik 1948] and [[User_talk:Túrelio/Archive1#Category:Bugatti Type 101 s/n 101-501|User talk:Túrelio]], where Túrelio confirmed that Finoskov's approach is not compliant with the rules.

== User:Sbb1413 ==

User:Sbb1413 has accumulated a history of problem edits, identified by various editors on his [[User talk:Sbb1413|talk page]] and his [[User talk:Sbb1413/Archive 1|talk page archive]].

Recently (September 7), he added the following note to his user page, under the section heading, [[User:Sbb1413|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. <u>So, I make sure the media depicting nudity are given dedicated categories to avoid intolerant users like me facing media depicting nudity.</u>'' (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. [[User:Spideog|Spideog]] ([[User talk:Spideog|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 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. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk: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. [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 03:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
:::Thirding this – I think it's more than reasonable and more so an act of courtesy rather than policy or guideline-related. Don't see anything that needs to be done to Sbb. --[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]] ([[User talk:SHB2000|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:05, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|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 [[User:Sbb1413/babel|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.
:{{talkquote|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 {{cl|Nude people standing}}, which is categorized under {{cl|People standing}}. The main categories are exclusively for clothed people, with nude people in subcats.

: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.

== AlkyzawyHsyen ==

Last June I warned {{User|AlkyzawyHsyen}} 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 [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Standard_of_the_President_of_Syria.svg&diff=prev&oldid=952738564 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}}. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk: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. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 03:37, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Dear all,

@[[User:Dftad 55|Dftad 55]] continuously upload works claimed to be personal works when they are obviously not (ex. paintings) while no reliable source is provided to claim works are under the designated licenses. @[[User:R Prazeres|R Prazeres]] already left a warning but without any effect to date. [[User:Moumou82|Moumou82]] ([[User talk:Moumou82|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:24, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
: Did you discuss this with them and try to explain what the issues are?
: We all know how hostile the Commons system is, and the upload tools that fail to explain the issues involved. We should be very generous to new editors here, especially when their work is probably perfectly allowable, so long as the metadata is fixed.

::I've explained the issue to them and invited them to ask questions on their talk page, but there's no response and they've continued doing the same since. It's not clear to me if they're ignoring the notices or if they don't read English well enough (though the fact that they're editing and adding pictures and templates to the English Wikipedia makes me doubt the latter point).

* Reasons for reporting: For years, I have been railing against incomplete deletion requests, which are caused by malformed use of {{t2|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 [[special:diff/4256527|17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC)]], over 17 years ago, and my tracking of it [[special:diff/512622471|18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC)]], nearly four years ago.
