My apologies, I don't really understand what is happening here, and I hesitate to make blocks when I'm confused.
- User:Nefrit Lazurit: on 26 April 2023, Neriah redirected this user's talk page to User talk:Altair Netraphim; on 19 June 2025, Revibot changed the redirect to point to User talk:Sekar Kinanthi Kidung Wening. (As is common, there never was a User page.) There is no indication that any account Nefrit Lazurit existed, but it may have had a global name change. This edit by Rachmat04 shows account name Altair Netraphim being changed to Sekar Kinanthi Kidung Wening. So I believe Nefrit Lazurit and Altair Netraphim are just earlier names for account Sekar Kinanthi Kidung Wening; neither of the former is an existing account.
- User:Tayuya Karin is also a redirect to Sekar Kinanthi Kidung Wening WTAF? an even earlier name change, so this is just another earlier name for exactly the same account.
- And similarly for Fandy Aprianto Rohman.
@0x0a: couldn't you just have said these were former names of this much-moved account? Usually when people say "Aka" in this context they mean sockpuppet aliases, and it becomes relevant to check if they were active in the same period, who might have had a block, etc. No wonder this has sat for 10 days with no admin taking action. We are not mind-readers. - Jmabel ! talk 22:25, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
Inkravtania hasn't edited since 9 October 2025 nor Sekar Kinanthi Kidung Wening since 12 November 2025 (and, yes, I checked deleted contributions as well), so @Jeff G.: what are the "hits" that keep on coming? Just more evidence of bad uploads in the past by an account that hasn't edited in 6 weeks? If so (or if not), you could have been a lot more specific.
That said, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/User_problems/Archive_123#h-User:Altair_Netraphim-20250606080300 (which I remember finding confusing at the timeg) combined with what has followed certainly shows bad faith. I'm going to block Sekar Kinanthi Kidung Wening for 6 months, though I will admit that I fear they will just come back under a different name and wreak as much havoc. - Jmabel ! talk 22:43, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Nothing this person has uploaded has proper sourcing. Some of them may be free due to age, but they are all just uploaded from various websites. Secretlondon (talk) 18:33, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Secretlondon: when you report someone at COM:AN/U, you are supposed to inform them on their user talk page. I will do that for you this time. - Jmabel ! talk 20:28, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Clearly a problem, though most of these files are probably PD. I've blocked them from uploading for two weeks, and hope they come to discuss this so that I do not need to impose a longer or broader block. - Jmabel ! talk 20:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- They have not uploaded since 2024 - I reported as I think everything they have uploaded needs looking at. Secretlondon (talk) 22:11, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
- Ooof. I missed that (though you also might have mentioned that). Then the block will probably have no effect.
- Not particularly a user conduct/admin issue then, it's an issue about the files. - Jmabel ! talk 02:09, 22 December 2025 (UTC)
- Done I've set up , which should now contain all of these files. Not sure what more I can do. - Jmabel ! talk 02:19, 22 December 2025 (UTC)

Four of the photos uploaded by this user have been found to be images from the internet, some of which have been cropped to remove watermarks. This suggests the user was intentionally uploading copyrighted photos. The other uploaded files have not yet been fully verified, but given their poor resolution and size, they are also likely to be infringing on copyright.--MspreilsCN (talk) 03:20, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

- They're not your only student who's doing this. See this difference. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:59, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Smyxhmcj Please explain what happened here? Stealing pictures from the Internet is not allowed. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 08:44, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing this out.
- This was my mistake. I used an image from the Internet without fully understanding the copyright requirements. As I have already returned to China, I am currently unable to access Wikipedia to remove the image myself. I will be more careful in the future and will only use images with proper licenses.
- Sorry for the trouble caused. ~2025-42845-39 (talk) 09:16, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- You were able to post here. Do you lack the permission to delete images from Wikimedia Commons (not Wikipedia) as an IP user? Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:26, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Ikan Kekek: that last comment makes no sense to me. Only an administrator can delete images from Wikimedia Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 19:52, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- I didn't know that, though I guess that makes sense because once you've licensed a photo, you can't unilaterally delete it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:42, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

@Smyxhmcj: I hope you understand what is going on here. Are any of the photos you uploaded that are actually your own work? If so, which? Please reply here; if I don't hear from you in the next 36 hours, I will have to delete them all on the basis that we can't trust your claims of "own work." - Jmabel ! talk 05:03, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
@Piotrus: if this happens somewhat routinely with your students, could you please adopt some process that checks their work for copyvios, rather than have the burden of checking your students' work fall on the Commons community in general? Either some sort of peer review process, or you doing some checking yourself, or having this sort of thing affect their grade, or something? Or do you already have enough of a process in place that it is surprising that this slipped through? - Jmabel ! talk 05:11, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining.
- To clarify, none of the photos I uploaded are my own work. I mistakenly used images from the Internet and marked them as "own work" due to my lack of understanding of the licensing rules.
- I understand now, and I am fine with these images being deleted. I will not upload any images in the future unless they are genuinely my own work and properly licensed.
- Sorry again for the trouble caused. ~2025-43034-31 (talk) 05:21, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- I will delete these all then. - Jmabel ! talk 00:25, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Jmabel I will add a clarification to the syllabus that uploading copyvios will reduce the grade, good idea. Other than that, while I of course check for copyvios myself, please note that in Wikimedia community we all share the burden of both checking the works of new contributors, and recruiting them. Realistically, some do one more than the others. The organizers of wikithons, including teachers, tend to do more of the recruiting, for obvious reasons. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 12:36, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- It's a bit hard to check the uploads of the students if we dont even know which user accounts are a part of the course in the first place Trade (talk) 21:58, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
Done uploads all deleted, no other action at this time. @Piotrus: please give some thought to a process that will make this sort of problem less likely in the future. If the checking needs to come from the broader community, perhaps there ought to be a maintenance category applied to the user pages of the people whose work should be checked. - Jmabel ! talk 00:31, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Jmabel I like that idea (of a category) a lot. All my students are registered in the educational dashboard system (See https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/users/Piotrus ; for the sample picture uploads from my recent course, see https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Hanyang_University/Understanding_Small_and_Big_Data_with_Wikis_(2025)/uploads ). While the students are told to upload only free images / ones they took themselves (see https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/User:Hanyangprofessor2/Student_assignments as well as my media module at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hanyangprofessor2/Instructions/6), some will inevitably ignore that requirement. I don't know if the % of bad uploads for students is higher than for an average new contributor (I've never seen any stats related to this), but we can certainly try to categorize educational uploads to get more data clarity. This would likely need to be done throgh reaching WikiEd which runs the dashboard (I've long supported the idea of flagging all student accounts and contributions somehow, but that doesn't seem to be a priority for the devs...).

User:Elcobbola and the long-term abuse blocking problem
[edit]Hey, don't get me wrong. But every time whenever a user's account was created, Elcobbola decides to quickly block them for "long-term abuse" and revert the stuff they got from them and treat other users like they are nothing! I don't know what to do now at this point from them forward! ~2025-43267-12 (talk) 22:34, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- After taking a look at Special:Log/Elcobbola, the issue apparently doesn't lie with Elcobbola, but with the users blocked who most likely misunderstood the purpose of Commons (COM:SCOPE) and how to behave here (en:Wikipedia:Competence is required). Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 23:06, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- I checked and most of the recent accounts Elcobbola blocked for "long-term abuse" were flagged by the abuse filter for possibly being "LTA 257". Interestingly, this temporary account is also flagged by the abuse filter for possibly being "LTA 257". So, I think it is likely this temporary account is related to the accounts that were recently blocked. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 23:16, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

Also both accounts uploads out of scope files. The sock reuploads deleted files by the master. Jonteemil (talk) 20:31, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- And then there's this effort to write a Wikipedia article about himself. Yes, this seems to be self-promotion. I don't think I'll do anything about the older account Uashim mia, but I'll delete the photos and block Mawlana Uashim mia as a sockpuppet. - Jmabel ! talk 07:53, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Please ban "User:FuzzyBot"
[edit]and unsuperprotect pages such as Template:YouTube CC-BY/i18n/en. The bot Special:Contributions/FuzzyBot is not doing its work, causing false complaints about template editors such as at Template_talk:YouTube_CC-BY#Change_text_to_reflect_dating_to_before_the_license_change:
> The requested change was not implemented. I do not know why you are saying "done."
When I try to edit the page myself I get either:
> The source language of this group is English. Please select another language to translate into.
or
> This page is an automatically generated mirror of the page Template:YouTube CC-BY/i18n and cannot be updated manually.

How long is one supposed to wait until an edit is approved? An ordinary user has to wait several months until a template editor looks into the issue, and after the template editor has acted, does it have to take several more months? The system makes it essentially impossible to edit templates, because a change can never be tested. Also the idea of having an "/en" subpage that is just a perfect copy is strange and wasteful at least. The translation system should be dropped, unless someone is able and willing to fix it.

- I don’t agree on unprotecting widely used templates. Bidgee (talk) 20:30, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- They are protected to the level template editor, and this is not questioned here. Unfortunately, template editors still cannot edit them (and possibly not even sysops can ...). Taylor 49 (talk) 20:48, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- That is because it is mirroring Template:YouTube CC-BY/i18n. Bidgee (talk) 21:04, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

- I think you have realized it but FuzzyBot will only "do its work" after a translation admin (TA) has marked the changes at the source page. So, I don't see why FuzzyBot should be banned as it was just doing what it was designed to do. Also, the translation backlog (like many backlogs in Commons) are quite long, so if you are unable to wait for a long time, you should request it at Commons:Translators' noticeboard (which I see you have already done), and hopefully a TA will mark the changes. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 21:06, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
- I've temporarily granted myself Translation Admin rights and marked Taylor's changes for translation. Abzeronow (talk) 02:16, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
Same with User talk:Smyxhmcj, too many photos are from the internet. I saw these photos at https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Hanyang_University/Understanding_Small_and_Big_Data_with_Wikis_(2025)/uploads , and it looks like many of them are also from the internet.

Personal attacks by GreggreenX77
[edit]Perhaps an admin can take a look at GreggreenX77? Their last two posts (1 and 2) at the Commons Help Desk were clear personal attacks directed at another user that violate COM:NPA. The intial post was also not really related to Commmons per se, but that could be perhaps understood as a simple misunderstanding of Commons and what it's for. The two subsequent posts, however, go beyond the pale and indicate NOTHERE type of behavior. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:30, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
