Remove protection request for File:Jose B. Lingad.jpg

Hello everyone may I request to remove the protection from editing for the photo of Jose B. Lingad on Wikimedia Commons. Thank you!!! Toniker0501 (talk) 14:44, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

@Toniker0501: It depends. Does this mean you will refrain from trying to get the file deleted? - Jmabel ! talk 15:53, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Dayyousnbashid (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  Vandalism despite multiple warnings Cyberwolf (talk) 13:44, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

✓ Done. The user was not warned, so I warned him/her. Taivo (talk) 08:59, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
@Taivo: I see five instances of "Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing." on User talk:Dayyousnbashid. They are parts of {{Copyvionote}} and {{Speedynote}}. Those aren't good enough for you?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:34, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: I think the general consensus among administrators is that those routine warnings from bots are not enough to next go to a block. A more specific warning from a human should come first. - Jmabel ! talk 16:59, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
@Jmabel: All of those instances were from real live human beings, one of which was our OP. Yes, they were templated, is that a problem?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:20, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
At this point, this particular user is blocked, because their last response suggests strongly that they don't understand thing one about copyright.
But, yes, I think it is a problem when someone might be well-intentioned, is clueless, and all we give them are templated generic warnings. Many people who can be reached by a more targeted message will blow right past something that looks that generic. - Jmabel ! talk 19:41, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
This is especially the case when people probably don't read much English; linking them to relevant materials in their own language is important. And, yes, there is an Arabic variant of the warning, but it sends people to COM:Copyright_rules/ar. Have a look at that page and consider exactly how useful it would be to an Arabic-speaker who does not know English. - Jmabel ! talk 19:52, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
@Jmabel: Worse, Commons:Copyright rules/fa doesn't even exist. The user appears to write in Persian (known formerly and internally as Farsi).   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:05, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Oops. I mistook it for Arabic. I'll fix the message I left. - Jmabel ! talk 22:18, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
@Jmabel: At least that's what Google Translate says; I don't know either.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
You are probably right, and it fits with the name; I just didn't think about it initially. - Jmabel ! talk 22:53, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
✓ Done. The last message the user wrote on his/her user talkpage was not good. I blocked the user for a week for intimidation. Taivo (talk) 19:39, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

It was deleted for having no license, but there actually was a license. It is the same for all files. And certainly File:KIt socks smt2025h.png and others are too simple too have a copyright.

@Jeff G. Thanks for the advice! I'm more familiar with enwiki's practice of reporting username policy violations on first use. Had it been just the advertising content itself, I'd have waited to report until repeated offense. In the future, I'll wait longer before reporting violations of the username policy here on Commons. — Naomi Amethyst 15:55, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

i object the block; but if there any warning about advertisement and the user didnt listen, 2-4 months of block would be good. but as i checked his user talk page i didnt see any warnings about this. so... please do not block. im gonna warn user and remove the advertisement from his userpage. thanks. modern_primat ඞඞඞ ----TALK 22:14, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Protection Request

Howdy all, hope you're well. I was brought to Commons today by a note on enwiki here - someone had vandalized the TimedText for this speech Donald Trump made in 2020 in English. After reverting the vandalism, I noticed that it has apparently happened at least once before on this file. I'm not sure if TimedText are normally protected, or if that's even possible, nor am I sure what level normally would be applied - though semi-protection is likely fine here to prevent most likely vandalism. Given that it went over a week without having been seen until an IP editor pointed it out on enwiki, I think that indefinite protection may be beneficial as it's almost certainly a low watched page and is potentially a target for further vandalism in the future that would take some time to catch. Please feel free to ping me with any questions, and thanks in advance. Berchanhimez (talk) 03:08, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

@Berchanhimez: Semi-protection would not have caught this, I suggest a higher level.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:18, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
It was late at night and I couldn't really tell if that person would've been autoconfirmed or not so I got it wrong :( I'm not up on all the protection levels on Commons, but I trust that admins will figure out what's best since this page is so low watched probably. I doubt there's going to be many changes that need made to the TimedText now anyway - I watched the first half or so of it to find the vandalism in the first place, and I didn't notice any problems with it - so maybe full protection wouldn't hurt anything. Berchanhimez (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
Tech question: will protecting the page protect the timed text? I ask because I don't see those changes in the page history or file history. Is there perhaps something else that has to be protected? - Jmabel ! talk 01:09, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
I haven't the slightest idea. I figured maybe protecting this page would work - but I have no idea if it's even possible to protect a TimedText page to be honest. Berchanhimez (talk) 01:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Similar edits of West Philippines Sea. Also, username appears to be an insult to enwiki admin Izno (who previously blocked the other socks). Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 16:23, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Unprotect Request File:Flag of Turkmenistan.svg

I'm unclear as to why this was protected in the first place and though it says it is upload protected it has been indefinitely fully protected. The file needs some code reduction. I'm happy to do so but currently cannot. SVG flag maker (talk) 12:06, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Log says because of edit warring, and upload history seems to bear that out. Abzeronow (talk) 17:44, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

✓ Done. I reduced protection. Taivo (talk) 12:03, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
The user is not autopatrolled and the upload protection is autopatroller, should I temporarily lower protection so I can also accept their request to overwrite? Abzeronow (talk) 20:44, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
I don't think so, but if somebody else will do that, I will not protest. Taivo (talk) 13:18, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

File:Flag of Turkmenistan.svg

I'm unclear as to why this was protected in the first place and though it says it is semi protected it has been indefinitely fully protected. The file needs some code reduction. I'm happy to do so but currently cannot. SVG flag maker (talk) 05:28, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

It's protected from upload for users who are not autopatrollers. It's not fully protected. Bedivere (talk) 05:40, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
As noted above (SVG flag maker always opens a new topic rather than replying), the user is not autopatrolled. Abzeronow (talk) 19:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
And is not likely to be given autopatrol, if they cannot learn to reply in the section where a discussion is already started. I'll move this up to where it belongs. - Jmabel ! talk 03:46, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Djeidudj

I have blocked Djeidudj for 6 months for continually making deletion requests that just amount to "this offends me," and in at least one case repeating the same DR on a slightly different "this offends me" rationale immediately after it was kept. I don't do a ton of blocking, and if anyone thinks this is too long or too short, feel free to weigh in. - Jmabel ! talk 05:50, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
