Admin actions needed for Picture of the Year

Per the discussion at Commons_talk:Picture_of_the_Year, we're switching to new scripts for this year's contest. As a result, ~1000 pages created using the old scripts will need to be deleted; all of the pages at this link. (cc @AntiCompositeNumber: ) Thanks, Ingenuity (talk) 13:49, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal IDs

There were huge vandal IDs were blocked from ta.wiki and some there are blocked in Commons and you may find some CheckUsers at Meta. There are one and two. Same user's another ID which is blocked in ta.wiki continues here. Related IDs and all are blocked in ta.wiki some might missed: AntanO2, Chilli Soonyam, Dhairya Notosri, Naughty Nightingale, Neha Xorg, Neoshine, Neoshine K.Sreeram Official, Sanuthi Aahidya, Sanuthi Linux, Selvasivagurunathan m2, Shanvika Drake, Sridhar G1, Ubishini, Urmila Pardus, VAW 2404, Veraswini, Wikishini, க.சிறீராம், பவி தமிழ். Admin can take proper action including on uploads. Note: I do not notify the user since it is pure vandal with vulgar words. AntanO 14:03, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the full list of same user/s who engage in vandal and vulgar language use since February. So many IPs too that were blocked in ta.wiki. Some IDs are imitating as sysop user & bot IDs in ta.wiki.

Delete file to upload new version (>100 MB)

I have uploaded a new version of File:Batman upon Bartolome.djvu here. Please do what is necessary to replace the old file with a new version. (I make the request here because my last request, I believe, required an administrator to do some work relative to the file.) TE(æ)A,ea.

@TE(æ)A,ea.: I, a non-admin, did it. You could have done it too with a chunked upload. Are you sure the new file is superior to the old revs and that it won't cause problems with the transcription in process at en.ws? —Justin (koavf)TCM 02:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Policy in terms of sockpuppetry

Dear all,

I tried to look for the Commons policy in terms of sockpuppetry but I could not locate it. This query comes as it has been disclosed here the accounts @محمد أمين الطرابلسي (created in 2017 but indefinitely blocked in 2022) and @JUVENISTA (created in 2018) belong to the same person. Would this be considered as sufficient for the link to be disclosed on the respective user pages? Moumou82 (talk) 18:31, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Meta CheckUser policy--mandatory for, and applicable to, all projects--includes "Note that alternative accounts are not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of the policies". The Commons does not currently require disclosure as long as the accounts are not used disruptively. Disruptive use (i.e., "abuse" rather than mere "use"), however, is explicitly disallowed by the blocking policy. Эlcobbola talk 18:56, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And, in the instant case, evading a block is absolutely an abuse of multiple accounts. JUVENISTA is Confirmed and blocked. Эlcobbola talk 19:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of self promoting user pages

There are currently many deletion requests for user pages where new users introduce themself is relatively long texts. The users made no other contributions to Commons. I would suggest that we wait one week before deleting the user page to give the user time to contribute to Commons in a way that justifies such a user page. GPSLeo (talk) 05:25, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, In many cases, it is quite obvious that the user only interest is self-promotion. Unfortunately, Commons and Wikipedia are victims of their success. Everybody now wants to have they name and their picture on our projects. Yann (talk) 06:49, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If they are active on another WMF wiki I'd cut them a lot of slack. If not, no. - Jmabel ! talk 17:24, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Identity confused

File:Hasan Sabry-pasha.jpg

This image has been confused with Hassan Sabry Pasha, it actually belongs to Hussein Sabri Pasha. I already changed the caption to "Hussein sabri" instead and edited its sources that clearly shows it's Hussein Sabri and not Hassan.

Hi @Caesarion8, thanks for reporting the error. I have renamed the file. Regards, Aafi (talk) 16:13, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Massmessages | Questionnaire for photographers

Hello! I have a request from the Heritage Guard Network project team. We'd like to send an invitation to participants of WLE and WLM photocontests to fill out the form about the safety of the photographers.

Here's text of the message, and here's the list of receivers. Thanks a lot! OlesiaLukaniuk (WMUA) (talk) 15:51, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Working. @OlesiaLukaniuk (WMUA): Your signature should be used, meaning the message should be in your name, right? -- CptViraj (talk) 15:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do I understand correctly from the radio buttons at the bottom of the survey that this questionnaire is not open to people who routinely do this sort of photography but are not inclined to enter contests? There is no option to say that you have not participated in either WLE or WLM. - Jmabel ! talk 18:09, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
