== Please help removing category from a User page ==
 
Hello, I am currently working as committee for [[Commons:Kompetisi Penyajian Data 2024|Indonesian Data Visualization Competition]], which one of the tasks is writing article at participants' user page in Wikidata and uploading their work to Wikimedia Commons.
 
One of the participant (@[[User:Anazzahro129|Anazzahro129]]) misread the instruction and wrote the article in their [[User:Anazzahro129|Commons' user page]] instead. The problem is when they added [[:Category:Kompetisi Penyajian Data 2024|the competition category]] and [[:Category:WikiProject Indonesia|WikiProject Indonesia category]] to their user page and this messed up the category page for the competition.
 
When I tried to remove the category myself, my action detected and blocked by Abuse Filter since I tried to edit other user's page. I have tried to contact the user themself via email which they used for registration to no avail. Can the admin helped me remove the competition category, and also the [[:Category:WikiProject Indonesia|WikiProject Indonesia]]'s category ? Thank you.

== Out of process closer by admin after threat on my talk page ==
 
{{discussion top|No admin action needed here. As I said below, there is no evidence for the DRs started by Adamant1. [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 09:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)}}
Earlier I opened [[:Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Maîtresse-vitre de la cathédrale de Dol-de-Bretagne]]. A few hours later a user, {{ping|GO69}}, threatened to contact French administrators over it. The DR was then closed out of process and for no reason a few minutes later by {{Ping|VIGNERON}}. Clearly because they contacted by {{ping|GO69}} about it. The whole thing is clearly a conflict of interest, goes against the Universal Code of Conduct, and as well as being an abuse of the administrator privileges. [[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:02, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
:I did close this DR thanks to GO69 warning as there is obviously no reason for deletion (per [[Commons:Snowball clause]]). If we talk about abuse, {{ping|Adamant1}} would be the one abusing the [[Commons:Deletion requests]] process ([[Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Ancien siège d'Ouest-France]] is also in the same case). Cheers, [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[User talk:VIGNERON|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
::What snowball clause? There was one delete vote and it had only been open for a couple of hours. There wasn't enough comments or time for there to be a snowball. You clearly closed it before the 7 days was over for no reason because a another user from France asked you to. Which is clearly an abuse of the administrator tools and goes against the Universal Code of Conduct. You can say my justification for the DR was wrong, but that's not a valid excuse to close it early and before there was any discussion just because another French user randomly threatened to contact you about it on my talk page. --[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:11, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
:::I did came to the DR because of GO69 (who made no threats just factual explanations) but I closed it because as a 13th century work it's very clearly in the public domain. « If an issue does not have a snowball's chance in hell of being accepted by a certain process, there's no need to run it through the entire process. » Cheers, [[User:VIGNERON|VIGNERON]] ([[User talk:VIGNERON|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:22, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
::::This is what GO69 said on my talk page "I point out your ludicrous conception of copyright to administrators such as User:VIGNERON (A), User:Pymouss (A), User:Jean-Frédéric (IA/A)." That's not just factual explanations of anything and it's clearly a threat to contact administrators from France to deal with the DRs. Which is exactly what you did. Regardless, "the snowball test", which you cited, is pretty clear that something has to be ran through the process resulting in a unanimous decision for it to qualify as a snowball. There was no process or unanimous decision here though because you closed the DR after a few hours without there being any discussion. It doesn't really matter though because there's a clear consensus on Commons that DRs should be open for at least 7 days anyway. 2 hours is certainly to early to close a deletion request. Especially if it's being done as a personal favor for another user. --[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
:::::The full message of GO69 in French is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Adamant1&oldid=888477761
:::::One need to run through the whole process in order to « no need to run it through the entire process » ? That's kind of defeating the purpose.
:::::DR don't have to always to stay open 7 days (see [[Commons:Deletion_requests#Closing_discussions]]), it's quite common to close them before. It's more common for close when the result is delete (cf. the page for today [[Commons:Deletion_requests/2024/06/26]] with a few DR already closed) but it's not that uncommon when the result is keep.
:::::Me closing the DR was clearly not a « personal favor », Adamant1 is clearly not [[Commons:Assume good faith|assuming good faith]] and I take it as a [[Commons:No personal attacks|personal attack]].
:::::I never thought that keeping a 13th windows would cause so much problem. I'll let my admins colleague decide what to do...

::::::{{tq|DR don't have to always to stay open 7 days}} "In general, requests can be closed by an administrator after seven days. Deletion requests for obvious copyright violations can be closed earlier." The guideline literally says they can be closed after seven days unless it's an obvious copyright violation. Which it clearly wasn't. Nowhere does the guideline say it's OK to close a DR after two hours because someone pings you about it as a way to threaten and intimidate another user.
 
::::::{{tq|Me closing the DR was clearly not a « personal favor »}} GO69 contacted you on my talk page specifically for the sole purpose of having you deal with it, which you then did seconds later. On top you didn't even bother contacting me about it before hand and I've never interacted with you before this, the last time you dealt with DRs was 2 months ago, and you clearly didn't just stumble on this one randomly because you were already working in the area. So I don't know what else to call it besides a personal favor.

:{{cmt}} I think that the DR closure by Vigneron is adequate. Restoring an old stained glass window doesn't create a new copyright. The purpose of restoration of such old works is that they appear as faithful as possible as they were at the time of creation. It usually include replacing some broken glasses and straightening the structure, not creating anything new. [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
::It really depends on what kind of restoration work was done and how much personal creative liberty the artist takes while they are doing it. Some restorations are 100% recreations of the original and some aren't. Like in a similar DR the "restoration" involved the artist replacing like 30% of the window with their own artwork. So it really depends on the situation, which is the whole point DRs to begin with. You can't really find a consensus about an edge case or something that isn't clear if a DR is closed 2 hours after it's opened and before people can comment on it. It really just defeats the whole purpose of the thing if administrators can come along and close DRs after a few hours due to a personal opinion that they are invalid or because someone asked them to. The way VIGNERON went about it was clearly wrong to regardless of the merits of the deletion request. --[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:15, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
:::In France, you can't change whatever you want when you restore a piece of art, in particular when it is enlisted as an heritage building. Trust me, I have experience regarding this topic. :)
:::Okay, there are cases where a change is done. It was actually a topic today at the national French radio ''France Inter'', about Notre-Dame-de-Paris. For Paris, it is clearly for political reasons and the guests where like "that shouldn't be done unless we have nothing to save".
:::But trust me (again), it is not the case for Dol-de-Bretagne, ''at all'': we are lucky to have proper 13th century stained-glass windows that have been preserved and restored using similar techniques (what Yann described).

::::{{ping|Trizek}} This has nothing to do with buildings and the example I brought up to Yann were the artist doing the restoration added their own artwork to a window was in France. It's a separate issue then VIGNERON's behavior anyway. Maybe familiarize yourself with the actual issue before commenting next time. Otherwise it just risks sounding like an off-topic handwaving lecture. Someone's personal experience in a particular usually don't matter if it has nothing to do with the actual problem or what's being talked about.

::::::@[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]], regarding familiarizing with a topic, you can apply your (rudely written) advice to yourself. If you knew a bit about restoration and heritage, this unpleasant thread would have never existed. VIGNERON did the right thing, as he knows about this topic. Also, your uncivil comments towards me or others, and the tone you use, is not what should be the norm on wikis: you have the right to disagree, but not the way you convey your message.

:::::::{{ping|Trizek}} No offense intended, but I'm just not a fan of people commenting on a topic that they don't know anything about and like I said, this has nothing to do with buildings. Nor for that matter "restoration and heritage." It's purely about VIGNERON's unacceptable way of handling things. I get told all the time this isn't the place for content disputes, which I mostly agree with. This is the place to discuss user behavior. That's it and your attempt to make this about the particulars of "restoration and heritage" or "buildings" when that's not what the complaint is about just came off like bad faithed derailing. There just isn't any consistency with this though. I can be repeatedly told not to make ANU complaints about content disputes and no one ever takes issue with that. But then apparently it's a rude personal for me to tell you that this has nothing to do with buildings or heritage. Go figure. --[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 08:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 
*{{ping|The Squirrel Conspiracy}} Let me ask you this since you seem like a semi-reasonable person. If someone nominated some of my images for deletion and I lived in the same town as Jmabel (which is also were the images are of), would it be OK for me to ping him on the users talk page and ask him to "deal with the DR because it's ludicrous"? And as a follow up to that, would it then be OK for him to immediately close the DR after I asked him to without any discussion or other processes involved in the action? --[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 08:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

{{comment|Closing comment}} Jeff, this is the ''administrators' noticeboard''. Ergo, it is reasonable to expect that administrators already see the discussions happening there (and indeed, participate in them). Creating a thread on this noticeboard to highlight the thread literally right above it on the same noticeboard doesn't seem productive. You seem to have it out for Adamant1 - this is the second thread this month you've started targeting them IIRC - and the back and forth sniping is doing neither of you favors. I don't see any reason for admin action here, but I suggest you two either work out whatever is going on between you two or avoid each other.

== RfA standards? ==
 
What, if any, standards are in place for RfA here on Commons? Are admin hopefuls tested at all about their understanding of the five pillars or other rules and policies they will be enforcing? After a recent experience, I am genuinely concerned about an admin's future use of the tools after they have shown they do not fully understand the assorted policies they are supposed to be enforcing. I have asked two involved admins for mediation on my talk page, which appears to have gone unanswered, so I am asking for help here. - [[User:Adolphus79|Adolphus79]] ([[User talk:Adolphus79|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 22:48, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
:It doesn't seem like there are any outside of the intuitions of whomever votes in the RfA at the time. Which is unfortunate but also understandable. It does seem to present a problem though where admins are usually above reproach and unsactionable for their actions once they are given the previlage. See my recent ANU complaint about VIGNERON as an example. The only thing you can usually do is either open an ANU complaint which risks blow back and bandwagoning by other admins (again, see my ANU complaint above for an example) or file a full request for rights removel. The last one has almost zero chance of going anywhere though. So at the end of the day all you can really do is take the L and deal with being a tool of someone elses power trip. Or just be an ever increasing passive agressive asshole until you get blocked because no one on here really actually gives a shit about civility and just plays favorites. That's my go to strategy for open source, "community" based projects like this one. --[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 23:31, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
::@[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]]: I do not agree that admins are some kind of superior class of users. It should not be. What Adolphus79 has forgotten to mention, though, is that this seemingly innocent thread they've started has a name within. I have given all kinds of explanations regarding their blocking and they do not accept them. Fair enough. I don't get though why they are restoring obvious personal attacks by some IP users on their talk page, even reverting me. I'll take Jameslwoodward's advice to keep away from this user, so (despite I have already said at least three times) this will be my last comment on them.

::{{ping|Bedivere}} That's certainly the attitude a lot of them have and they constantly back each other in disputes no matter who's actually right. I've been pretty active on here for a long time now and can't think of a single instance where an administrator was either blocked, otherwise sanctioned, or threated with a sanction for their behavior. Not to say it's never happened but it's certainly extremely rare and the whole thing has a chilling effect that needs to be accounted for here.
 
::Most of their actions are done in far flung areas where users aren't going to report them because of fear of retaliation or just because it has no chance of going anywhere if they do. That was certainly my experience when Yann unfairly blocked a couple of years ago as part of a personal dispute. Realistically who's going to report an administrator for their actions after an unfair block, threat of one on their talk page, or other bullying behavior by an admin in an obscure area that has a low turnout to begin with? It's just obfuscation all the way down anyway. --[[User:Adamant1|Adamant1]] ([[User talk:Adamant1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 00:20, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
:::Yes, but then Bedivere decided to try it with an 18-year veteran of enwiki who clearly knows the rules and policies better than they do. Administrators are held accountable for their actions on enwiki, and there is Oversight and Arbitration. I expect the administrators here to be held to at least some standard, not just swinging that hammer wildly making decisions based purely on their own opinion or rules. I worry how many others Bedivere has done this to in the last 4 months since becoming an admin, that didn't know the policies well enough to stand up and say "wait a minute!". I worry about future new users this admin might come in contact if they are allowed to continue like this unchecked. - [[User:Adolphus79|Adolphus79]] ([[User talk:Adolphus79|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 00:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

[[User:Adamant1]] has made a habit out of indiscriminately nominating every single file in a category for deletion, particularly if the category is AI-related, under vague rationales along the lines of “not educational”. They also seem to have a complete lack of respect and/or understanding of [[COM:INUSE]], both disregarding it in the first place and trying to argue it doesn’t apply after the fact. Examples of behavior:

The fact is that the same 2 or 3 users repeatedly messaged me in an extremely rude, lecturing way about something that I explained to them multiple times and refused to get the point that the guideline has exceptions for the "in use" clause. {{ping|JPxG}} in particular repeatedly tried to act like I nominated the images for deletion because I just dislike AI-generated artwork and think it's "low quality." When I told them multiple times that the quality of the images has nothing to do with the DRs.
 
::Nowhere did I say in any DR what-so-ever that they have anything to do with the quality of the artwork or my personal opinions about the quality. Yet {{ping|JPxG}} was clearly incapable of getting the point and dropping it.

Instead continuing to message about it in an extremely lecturing rude way across multiple talk pages. This is 100% a made up issue though. I don't have a "habit of disregarding [[COM:INUSE]]." In fact rarely, if ever, nominate in use files for deletion. Except in extremely rare instances that I go out of my way to explain.

User has previously been blocked for copyvio in December ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Blocks_and_protections/Archive_37#User:Crimsonalfred2022]), was reported again in January ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_95#Uploads_by_Crimsonalfred2022]), they have plenty of warnings and notices on their talk page going back to 2022 ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Crimsonalfred2022&action=history&offset=&limit=500]), and they were indefinitely blocked from Wikipedia on 22 June for repeated copyvios there ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Crimsonalfred2022&diff=prev&oldid=1230412621]). Since then (i.e. even since 22 June), they've continued to mass-upload images with dubious licensing information, all of which are clearly grabbed from somewhere on the web. (They're likely also evading their Wikipedia block through IP edits which are adding some of these files to Wikipedia; see evidence [[:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Crimsonalfred2022|here]].)
 
In the recent uploads, the source is labeled "pinterest" (without a link), author is claimed to be "unknown", and license is tagged as [[Template:PD-Egypt|PD-Egypt]], but no evidence is provided to support any of this. Examples include: [[:File:Ayman Younes (Zamalek SC).jpg]], [[:File:Zamalek - Cairo (1972).jpg]], [[:File:Farouk Gaafar 1981.jpg]], [[:File:Ashraf Kasem (1984).jpg]], etc. Even if the stated dates of the photos are correct (no obvious way to confirm this), my reading of [[Template:PD-Egypt|PD-Egypt]] is that they are still too recent to be in PD in the United States and thus do not belong on Commons.
 
Some of their older uploads – images of old actors and movie posters, etc – are tagged as PD, but they've put themselves as "author" and the "source" appears to be their own Flickr account (Crimson2022 Alfred), which is merely doing the same thing as their Commons account. At best, the author attribution is wrong, and at worse, it's impossible once again to confirm the copyright status of the original work. Examples: [[:File:Abdel Halim Hafez.jpg]], [[:File:Bahiga Hafez.jpg]], [[:File:Kham El-Khalili (1976).jpg]] (this one even has a mysterious watermark in the upper right corner), etc.
 
The user has 200+ uploads, so I don't have the capacity to investigate, tag, and/or nominate for deletion all their problematic uploads, but this looks like a pattern of long-term ignorance of [[Commons:Licensing]].

{{user|メイド理世}} uploaded lots of copyright protected content, see their talk page. After I tag this photo, [[:File:Nanjing, 1 July 2024 (109).jpg]], they cropped out the non-copyvio one and just keep the copyvio character. <br>
Per their discussion on [[Commons:Deletion_requests/File:28码脚型飞机杯(右脚)_(cropped).jpg]], [[Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:後藤ひとり.jpg,_File:山田リョウ、後藤ひとり.jpg,_File:山田リョウ.jpg]] and current behaviour, I strictly suspect this one is clearly [[:en:WP:CIR|CIR]], both for using English and learning about copyright laws.
