TeamSF copyvios
[edit]I started tagging images by User:TeamSF as copyvios; but there are too many to tag individually. They are mostly album covers, but there are also some press clippings. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:49, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Done thanks to Jonatan Svensson Glad. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:27, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Misuse of Commons
[edit]Please see the edit history for File:Elshad Abdullayev.jpg. @JosefBrine and @Kevin Hamburg seem to be trying to use Commons as part of a negative PR campaign against a living person. I believe the image should be deleted and they should be blocked from Commons. Dreamyshade (talk) 03:20, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- I've deleted the file which, at the very least, gives out personal information that should not be on Commons. It looks to me like there is doxxing going on here, plus unreferenced negative statements that certainly amount to BLP violations; Kevin Hamburg appears to have removed a speedy-delete tag without changing it to a DR.
- I'm guessing these accounts should be blocked, but I don't have time & focus to follow up right now, some other admin should have a look at the now-deleted edits. - Jmabel ! talk 03:51, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- I've blocked both for sockpuppetry / doxxing / NOTHERE. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:12, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Jmabel@Pi.1415926535 Thank you both, I appreciate the quick response! Dreamyshade (talk) 04:47, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Can someone please revert File:Mojtaba Khamenei Supreme Leader of Iran.jpg to its first version? @NeoSyria shouldn't have cropped it as per COM:OVERWRITE. Pinging @Vladimir Dzaky as the uploader. Thanks, Yacàwotçã (talk) 10:25, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- It is nowhere significantly different from the original version, and it was a minor improvement; therefore, I don't believe that it was in violation of any policy. 🗽NeoSyria / Freedoxm🗽 (talk) 10:26, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- I don't see how messing with the image proportions can be interpreted as a minor cropping. But apparently it's a copyvio, so it's going to be deleted anyway. Yacàwotçã (talk) 10:31, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Done Reverted, though it will probably go away. @Vladimir Dzaky: about the only time a crop of someone else's photo is acceptable as an overwrite is things like cropping out clearly unintended margins, or a margin on a PD image that was added just for watermarking purposes.
- Also: whenever an overwrite is contested by any significantly active Wikimedian, the presumption is strongly on their side. From COM:OVERWRITE:
If another editor thinks that the change is not an improvement (even if the editor making the change deems it minor), the change can be reverted, and the new image should be uploaded under a new file name.
Obviously, some slack is granted for whn dealing with obvious trolls, brand-new accounts with no track record, etc., but equally obviously that is not what we have here. - Jmabel ! talk 19:48, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Could someone please close this CfD: Commons:Categories for discussion/2025/11/Category:Fascism in India? It has been open for over three months now. — EarthDude (Talk) 15:44, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Not done Three months is not a particularly long time for a CfD, and there is no clear consensus. - Jmabel ! talk 19:49, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
Landschaftsschutzgebiet Neckartal zwischen Tübingen und Plochingen (Landkreis Tübingen)
[edit]Could a native or near-native German-speaking admin take a look at Commons:Categories for discussion/2022/11/Category:Landschaftsschutzgebiet Neckartal zwischen Tübingen und Plochingen (Landkreis Tübingen)? Stale for over three years, lengthy, entirely in German. - Jmabel ! talk 19:52, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- In short: there are two official documents which give two different official names for one and the same protected area. The question was which document is right, but the discussion did not find a clear answer, as there's the assumption that the area might have been officially renamed, which would explain why there are two different official names for it. In the last post at the bottom the user planned to contact authorities to ask for clarification regarding the official name. But the user never reported back. Nakonana (talk) 20:16, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
