Vandalisme excessif par des comptes temporaires provenant de la même personnes

Bonjour @Yann, pourriez-vous intervenir pour cesser les vandalismes occasionés par ce compte temporaire (et tout les autres comptes temporaires associés à ce compte) ? Ça devient vraiment insupportable à force. Merci ! Milou98 (talk) 22:39, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

@Milou98: Bonjour, J'ai bloqué ce compte et protégé un fichier et une catégorie. Quels sont les "autres comptes temporaires" ? Yann (talk) 07:50, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Bonjour @Yann, désolé du temps de réponse, j'attendais juste que la personne recommence avec un autre compte temporaire comme elle à l'habitude de le faire, et sans surprise c'est le cas. Elle à recommencer à vandaliser les images qui ne sont pas protégées. Quand je vous dis quelle passe ses journées à ça... comment l'arrêter ? Milou98 (talk) 09:43, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

@Milou98: Bonjour, J'ai bloqué ce compte. Je ne peux rien faire de plus, mais vous pouvez faire une demande de checkuser. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 09:49, 15 May 2026 (UTC)

File:Simko Shikak and his brother Khurshid.jpg

Hi Yann, can you please delete this image i uploaded myself. Sinjarist (talk) 21:59, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

@Sinjarist: Why do you want to delete this file? It is in the public domain world wide, and there is no reason to do it. And this is way past a courtesy deletion, which lasts one week after upload. Yann (talk) 22:07, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

In the extended details it reveals personal information. I should have mentioned that

Thanks. Sinjarist (talk) 22:15, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

the author section on extended details specifically, says a full name Sinjarist (talk) 22:16, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Issue: please don't delete pdf pages

Hi, a change of File:Mamiani - Teorica della religione e dello stato, 1868.pdf by User:YannBot, i.e. deleting pages 1 and 2, removing Google Books disclaimer, caused a complete misalignement of nsPage text and images into itwikisource. Alignement has been restored adding two empty pages at the beginning of pdf file; the alternative could be to move all derived pages and fizxing lots of links.

Please consider that issue when editing a multipage nsFile, if wikisource transcription is ongoing or completed. Thanks! Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 12:33, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

@Alex brollo: Hi, When a file is used, it is supposed to replace the cover pages instead of deleting them, to keep the alignement (example: File:TheDailyPrayerBook.pdf). Until now (after more than 20,000 files), it has worked very well. So, sorry that's a bug. If you encounter any more such files, please tell me, I will correct the issue. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:39, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

@Alex brollo: FYI, I have researched the source of the problem. It seems that Wikimedia API incorrectly reports file usage on Wikisource. But so far, it is still reports correct usage in most cases. Actually, that's the only case among 20,000+ files where it fails, and I don't know why. Yann (talk) 15:09, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

@Yann Thanks! Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 16:21, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Hundreds of violations of COM:NETCOPYVIOs

Hi Yann, hope you're well.

I recently came across Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sarah Bellia, which lists hundresds of violations of COM:NETCOPYVIOs which has been plaguing a lot of articles I edit. If you could please come into it and come to a solution on the images and the user, that'd be great. Thanks! Lemonademan22 (talk) 13:02, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done All deleted. Yann (talk) 13:11, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Banknotes_of_Saudi_Arabia

Hi, sorry I meant to undelete only File:SaudiArabiaP20-100Riyals-(1976)-donatedth b.jpg, I checked all the others and they are from 1984 or later. Only from before 1400 AH (20 November 1979) is public domain 999REAL 💬 ⬆ 14:15, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

@999real: Ah OK. Do you when they will be in the public domain? Yann (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

All after year+50. Let me fix the years on them now 999REAL 💬 ⬆ 14:38, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Commons Photographers: Our next meeting (05/2026)

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I hope you’re well and enjoy your time as a photographer on Wikimedia Commons. In my role of the new chair of the user group, I have a couple of updates to share with you.

After the election, the new board met for the first time on March 21 and immediately got to work. We elected the organization’s officers and decided to move from quarterly to monthly board meetings. We believe meeting more frequently will create more opportunities to serve our members effectively and help move the group forward.

We also successfully applied for a pre-conference at the upcoming Wikimania in Paris (July 21–25). If you’re planning to attend the conference, please consider joining us on July 21th for a day full of conversations about photography and Commons. Please sign up here if you’re interested.

And finally, it’s my pleasure to invite you to our first online meeting, which will take place on May 31. Our member Wojciech, an experienced concert photographer, will give a talk on photographing orchestras during live performances. I’m especially excited that we’ll have the opportunity to meet online again and am very much looking forward to this event.

Please feel free to sign up for our first meeting in 2026 on this page: Online Meeting on May 31st.

In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 14:09, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

User removing speedy tags, vandalism reports

Hi, not sure what to do about this so I figured an admin's talk page would be the best alternative: See Special:Diff/1219650548, removing a report to COM:AIV, and is generally trying to "I don't hear you" out of this. See also: Special:Diff/1219306574. I expect they'll try to remove this notice from your talk page as well. ScalarFactor (talk) 20:24, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Nevermind, you caught this while I was looking for an administrator to report it to it seems. Thank you for the vigilance! ScalarFactor (talk) 20:25, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

This user seems likely to be a returning sock. I've filed an SPI on enwiki, but I figure local admins may want to take a look as well. ScalarFactor (talk) 20:59, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Ah OK. Indeed this is obviously a sock, so I blocked the account indef., and I am deleting most edits. Please report them if you know other socks on Commons. Thanks for your help, Yann (talk) 21:57, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, as you deleted User:Sarah Bellia files

as per Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sarah Bellia, I am surprised the cropped images such as File:Bianca Belair 042025 (cropped).jpg and File:Tiffy Time 042025 (cropped).jpg and more are not deleted. Are you supposed to delete them manually or is there an automatic system? BinaryBrainBug (talk) 12:46, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

 Done OK. Yann (talk) 18:01, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Bold title

Hi, I saw you reverted my edit without explanation. Do we not want bolded page titles for guidelines? Cf. Commons:Deletion policy where bold is used. I'm used to Wikipedia where that's standard practice. Thanks — W.andrea (talk) 16:50, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

OK, fine. Yann (talk) 16:52, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

copyright

Hi Yann, I take copyright very seriously but the behaviour of Jcb is disproportionate. He requests the deletion of all my files just because they are from me. Please take a closer look at the matter.

• Weinfarben.png is a selfmade table.
• Orangewein mit AP-Nr...jpg is a selfmade photo of a bottle of wine.
• Zwergplaneten.jpg is a public domain illustration (NASA).
• Ruth Ellen Maness.jpg is a selfmade photo.
• 16-9 Format.png is a selfmade illustration.

• Buchhalterisch AT.ogg is an audio record.
• Scraps 2.jpg is a photo of food.
• The rest shows fanmade typefaces or simple geometric shapes which are not eligible for copyright alone because they are not original enough.

Why did you instantly delete Dawum Bundesländer.jpg although it is CC BY-NC 4.0? K7yz3 (talk) 12:47, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
