File:Vegan-humans2.png

[edit]
  • I am requesting semi-protection for File:Vegan-humans2.png due to potentially coordinated deletion requests that appear to be influenced by a bias against vegan-related content. The deletion request is related to "plain text". I have requested a defintion of why this is plain text, it looks like someone then backed the deletion without explaining. This image is a valid graphic illustration, licensed under Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Public Domain Dedication, and does not match the average definition of plain text i found on google. It is clearly designed. Semi-protection will help prevent disruptive edits, preserving the integrity of the file page while allowing constructive contributions. If the situation escalates, a request for full protection might be considered at a later time. Thank you for considering this request. 02:43, 16th October 2025 (UTC) HomingHamster

 Not done The page looks out of scope to me: it is indeed "plain text" as the nominator said. The use of centering, color, and different typefaces do not change that, that is easy to do in HTML or CSS if needed. (Just for comparison, most text tables are also out of scope on this basis. & "average definitions" on Google are neither here nor there, what matters is Commons' practice.) No evidence of "potentially coordinated deletion requests": the sole deletion request is by Omphalographer, a very experienced user. - Jmabel ! talk 06:43, 16 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

Inigolim08, uploading files claimed to be own work, but I found original sources from Facebook.

Examples: File:BIRHEN NG SAPAO.jpg from https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02dpVD5Zcjf1r18W2j1rEHXfesdCMkQfaBzSo21RuJA8ax1bQDcdyi8VmZ3v6J4U1Jl&id=1318963730

File:Our Lady of Antipolo 2024.jpg from https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0dAozv6mke8peXXWbFrYhKZw5aCEYeFj3mioAVgC4oR8ftNZkHZVVmXcbyUfio2mAl&id=1318963730

Below these images clearly has signature of rightful author. Also, this user is clearly a sockpuppet of Inigo Lim (talk · contributions · Statistics), who is banned for uploading works that are not theirs and for sockpuppetry. Da Boauss Ss (talk) 10:14, 16 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Strong warning sent, those two files deleted. I'm in a hurry and do not have time to look into the sock allegation, likely other uploads should be deleted and account should be blocked. - Jmabel ! talk 17:56, 16 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

User:SC.2537

[edit]

User: SC.2537 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log

Reason for reporting: Apparently a sockpuppet (Category:Sockpuppets of Saranphat chaiphet) created for block evasion, because (1) the user uploaded copyvio files related to Nan province, which are exactly the same files as those uploaded by the socks in the mentioned category, and (2) the username is similar to those in the mentioned category, such as Samak.chaiphet2506 (talk · contribs), Up-2537 (talk · contribs), etc, which indicates their relationship.

Block evasion by Hopeful2014

[edit]

Block evasion by User:Hopeful2014. A new user making the same kind of edits as past socks like User:Cambridgeheathere2 and User:Starpete: mass changing of categories on photos of East London, and requesting file renames on them.

This is the fifth such user to request that File:Globe Town - London (7257915196).jpg be renamed, and the seventh on File:Bonner Road, Globe Town.jpg, where all such previous requests were from Hopeful2014 socks. Belbury (talk) 08:38, 17 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
