  • Ok, you have left the exact same message on Commons:Village_pump#Racism_on_Wiki!!!! I guess that you have read only a portion of the discussion. Racism on this project is a very serious issue, but for the racism on this project to become a serious issue you need to have racism on this project. It is good to be observant, so take a look at UeArtemis's contributions, and if there is racism there, then definitely do bring it up, but bringing up accusation of racism and saying that it is racism is... ridiculous, it actually deminishes what racism means and normalises it. If everybody is accused of being racist, then racists will be able hide in the crowd. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 09:38, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
    • Hi again, an anonymous Wikipædian! The link is quite self-explaining: the matter is just the edition: OK, UeArtemis made a racist "joke" at the other site and we may not consider it, but what he has said on wiki is racism, because he hasn't said "Sorry: I was an idiot that time but I don't think so and don't make so idiotic 'jokes' now!". He even doesn't understand what is the problem!!!! User:Gone_Postal are you trying to say that such a phrase "Are we N-word slaves or white planters? Whom will you be, sirs?" by UeArtemis is not racism!??? Either you are joking(not funny) or you are a racist too... Yes, only bureaucratically we say that wiki-user UeArtemis is not a racist because it was not racism on wiki, but the edition is the racism by the wiki-user UeArtemis on wiki because wiki-user UeArtemis has accepted that there were his words and said just "ha-ha-ha: an old good joke". User:Gone_Postal, it is a joke Are we N-word slaves or white planters? Whom will you be, sirs?, what dou you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs) 10:06, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
      • 195, If you are requesting administrator action, you need to be less shouty, stop forum shopping, and be concise with the evidence. If someone is misusing talk pages to create a hostile environment, that can be used as a block rationale (see COM:BP), but the evidence needs to be easy to understand and brief. The evidence here is muddied with off-project issues and indirect language.
      • Frankly, though IPs can contribute they have less weight in discussion, votes or requests than named accounts. It is more "anonymous" to create an account and use it to edit, it does not take a technical genius to learn quite a lot from a public IP address, or even a series of them. --Fæ (talk) 10:15, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
        • As I see, N-word 'jokes' is not a problem for Wikipædians... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs) 10:24, 11 September 2020‎ (UTC)
          • The advice is genuine. Keep it short. Stick to simple diffs rather than re-quoting everything. Use a COM:BP specific "hostile environment" rationale rather than alleging anyone is a racist. Also, layoff with the html tags, it makes any complaint look less serious. --Fæ (talk) 10:33, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
            • I have already understood the wiki-policy: markup is VERY serious crime but N-word is normal for Wikipædians. So good advices! Try to use them yourself and tell other Wikipædians!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs)
            • <<they have less weight in discussion, votes or requests than named accounts>>Because Wikipædians are racists, aren't they? :All participants are æqual but some participants are more æqual... <<have less weight>> means if you are not 'Wikipæpish' your words means nothing to whom is 'Wikipæpish'. Who is 'Wikipæpish' decides who is 'Wikipæpish'. Is it not racism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs)
  • The only thing I can see what User:UeArtemis said was "What? White masters? LOL.--UeArtemis (talk) 05:44, 9 September 2020 (UTC)", it was you that brought up something they allegedly said in the past on a different project back in 2011, which is when they replied. Bidgee (talk) 10:48, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
    • This is Marat Gubayev (Gubaiev) who is banned for stalking me.--UeArtemis (talk) 10:59, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
      • Does it mean that what you have said became less racistic because I (let's assume) have such a username, such an IP, and I have voted (let's assume) for such a candidate in Præsitendial elections? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs)
    • The point is that UeArtemis even doesn't understand what is the problem! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs) 11:23, 11 September 2020‎ (UTC)
      • They never used the word you suggested they used, you stated it on their talk page, something an off wiki site allegedly on another wiki project back in 2011. Bidgee (talk) 11:29, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
        • One again, my racist-friendly anonymous little Wikipædians. I have remembered UeArtemis his saying "if we wanted to be 'white people' we should pronounce "th" as [f]"(c). UeArtemis has said "What? White masters? LOL.". Then I have found exact UeArtemis' quotation "Ми ніґери-раби чи білі плантатори? :) Ким хочете бути ви, панове? :)(Are we N-word(!) slaves or white planters? Whom will you be, sirs?)". UeArtemis have answered "Oh, an old joke of 2011 is definitely applies to this discussion.". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs)
        • The incorrect joke about th-fronting was said outside Wikipedia projects - in the Lingvoforum (a linguistic forum). Mr. Gubayev is trying to "cancel" me.--UeArtemis (talk) 12:04, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
        • You see: it was a saying by UeArtemis and UeArtemis accepts it. I don't think that the same person could be a racist outside wiki but not a racists inside. Little anonymous Wikipædians think that he could. OK, let's assume. But UeArtemis' reaction on it was exactly on wiki: UeArtemis doesn't see anything bad in such 'jokes'! Because he as a Wikipædian and other Wikipædians protect him on wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs)
        • UeArtemis has a number of such "incorrect jokes"(tm) as on wiki as outside. E.g. UeArtemis likes very much to joke about Stalin terror, especially about Stalin terror against Ukrainian language itself. Yes, I want to 'cancel' him in any sense. E.g. I have sent a notification about the issue to such addresses donate@wikimedia.org, info@wikimedia.org, legal@wikimedia.org, business@wikimedia.org, awilliams@wikimedia.org, amuigai@wikimedia.org, benefactors@wikimedia.org, accessibility@wikimedia.org, matching@wikimedia.org, press@wikimedia.org infoseva@alz.org, lindsay.hansen@capitalone.com, fgc@fgc.ca.gov, m.bickert@fb.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs)

Looks like the IP is bring a dispute from another project here and making the environment for UeArtemis uncomfortable. Bidgee (talk) 10:58, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

  • <<Looks like the IP is bring a dispute from another project here and making the environment for UeArtemis uncomfortable.>>I don't think that environment for a racist should be comfortable. And what about you?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs) 11:09, 11 September 2020‎ (UTC)
  • I suggest you read Commons:Talk page guidelines; "Avoid markup", "Be concise", "Keep the discussion readable" and "Don't label or personally attack people or their edits" are sections you should read, since it will lead to a block per "Harassment". Bidgee (talk) 11:17, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
  • The more I look, I can see that you should be blocked for disruption, uncivil behaviour and harassment. Bidgee (talk) 11:35, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
  • So you think that environment for a racist should be comfortable(but markup is a VERY serious crime). I had no doubts in fact — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.114.146.150 (talk • contribs)
  • Please note that nobody has accused you of any crimes. Markup makes your edits appear comedic. In fact if I were racist, I would seriously consider asking (or paying) a friend of mine to come in and begin acting in the way you act; this can potentially create an atmosphere where anti-racism is seen as disruptive and a joke. So please ask yourself, if you are really anti-racist why are you doing something which has the potential to be of great benefit to racists? You have been told that if you can povide a statement that is made by another user that harrasses somebody on this project because of their ethnic background (or for that matter because of their national origin, native language, personal religious/spiritual beliefs, family status, sexuality, etc) then by all means you should bring that up. You are not doing that, rather than that you are experimenting with the creative use of the red-coloured fonts. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 13:07, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

I would actually Symbol support vote.svg Support lowering the block to 2-3 days. The desire to fight perceived racism is a positive one, and the user (even if they are anonymous, they are still a user) has gone a little over-excited.

User:Seveleu-Dubrovnik: SYSTEMATICAL FALSIFYING OF ALPHABETSEdit

(just for case: I think it's much more important that ordinary spam or obvious vandalising, that's why caps-lock)

You can see here[4] that he in fact admitted definitely not by his free will that he was disinformating number of wikis by his pseudoarabic chart!

See also the discussion: there are number of the legal issues. Note that he tried to remove the evidences[5] to falsify the deletion request which is referring to the discusion. —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.114.148.115 (talk) 16:47, 19 September 2020‎ (UTC)

Dear Nieuwsgierige Gebruiker! Why are you trying to delete this topic[6]!??? —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.114.148.115 (talk) 16:54, 19 September 2020‎ (UTC)

Hello 195.114.148.115. You are required to notify users when you start a discussion about them here, which I have now done for you. I do not see any violations of Commons policy or guidelines here, nor do I see any need for administrator action at this time. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 17:02, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Dear AntiCompositeNumber! Thanks. Read please the dicussion carefully: as I have said it is neither ordinary spam nor obvious vandalising: try to think!
Just FYI: See this discussion. Nieuwsgierige Gebruiker Overleg • CA 17:32, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Dear Nieuwsgierige Gebruiker! Thank you a lot. Could you explain the relation of that discussion to this topic? Try to think! Thanks.
I see 2 relation ships between this discussion and the other one: You're longer active here and you're trying to push your point of view because you're disagreed about something. Nieuwsgierige Gebruiker Overleg • CA 17:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Try again! Thanks. Note that I provide proofs but you provide guesses. I don't need your guesses. Thanks.
Dear Nieuwsgierige Gebruiker! FYI 195.114.144.0/20 is the set of IPs of a provider. So any user of that provider could have such IPs becase they are changed dynamically. Thank you for understanding. (and for trying to think in advance)


ONCE AGAIN

User:Seveleu-Dubrovnik was propagating his own orthography falsifying wiki-articles. I'm not sure that this is not a violations of Commons policy and guidelines...



Thanks.

i did nothing like that, stop your false accusations, and stop your trolling and bullying! LordLiberty (talk) 05:58, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

@LordLiberty: So who designed the poster depicted in File:Belgische Propaganda Poster over Koning Leopold III Met het opschrift "Mijn Lot Zal Het Uwe Zijn" uitgegeven in 1950 in het kader van de Koningskwestie.jpg? Have you read COM:DW?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 06:06, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Stop this trolling NOW! I DID NOT APROPIATE OR FALSIFY ANYTHING, there have been reviews from other users and administrators who told me exactly what to do and how to do it, i made those pictures with my camera from public domain materials, there is nothing wrong with this, i did not claim anything stop this nonsense, you are wasting my time! LordLiberty (talk) 06:12, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

I'd suggest that you stop with the uncivil remarks and remove this from your talk page. Also read COM:DW (as pointed out by Jeff) and COM:COPYRIGHT. Just because you make a digital copy by photograph, it doesn't make it your own work. Bidgee (talk) 06:51, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

I have not bullied you. I have used Admin and community approved templates like {{Fcs}}, {{Test2}}, {{End of copyvios}}, and {{Discussion-notice}}. I have reverted none of your legitimate edits. I have vandalised none of your uploads with bogus infoboxes. I have accused you of misappropriation, call that fraud if you want, here is the evidence: look at this very first edit upon your upload of File:Propaganda Poster SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division Langemarck met anti-Semitisch opschrift Samen zullen wij hem verpletteren!.jpg. Do you see the words "Source Own work", "Author Isai Symens", and "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following license:"? None of that appears to have been true. The same goes for this very first edit upon your upload of File:Propaganda wervings Poster SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division Langemarck met opschrift Vlamingen alle in de SS langemarck.jpg. I have no "royal and Imperial hero kings and emporers". Lest my dear readers think the problems are in the past, the same goes for this very first edit upon your upload of File:Advertising Poster with King Leopold II of the Belgians by designer E. Flasschoen.jpg, less than two hours ago.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 07:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Again you are trying to change the subject, and you are trying to decieve everyone with old edits, i already corrected it back then, because other wikipedia users told me about it then already, dont show that single edit, show all the edits since then, i changed it back then already, there was no reason at all, to put a new infobox there at all, you are just mad because i offended your Hero King Leopold II and German Emporer Otto Von Bismarck with historical cartoons, and you want to silence and bully me with false tactics. LordLiberty (talk) 07:56, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

And if you see to all my uploads, you will see that i always upload it like that, and then change the infobox just after i whent trough the upload wizard process, again you are trying to decieve everyone with false information, stop bullying, stop this deception and stop the trolling!

Pictogram voting comment.svg Comment While it is clear that the user has made some mistakes, what is happening here does begin to cross the line. There is nothing wrong with uploading with the upload wizzard if you immediately change the description. Many users do so, that is not a problem. File:Advertising Poster with King Leopold II of the Belgians by designer E. Flasschoen.jpg has been corrected within minutes of uploading by he user themselves. It is highly inappropriate to characterise this as anything remotely similar to the copyright infringement. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 07:30, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

@Gone Postal: This is not about descriptions, it's about sources, authors, dates, and licenses required by policy COM:EVID. Also, their upload Comments "Uploaded own work with UploadWizard" are disingenuous.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 05:06, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: I do not use Upload Wizzard to upload files, and therefore perhaps I am mistaken, but I have assumed that this comment is not added by the user, but rather it is added automatically. In addition to that, when a user makes a mistake and corrects it within minutes we cannot claim that this is a form of copyright violation. Let's say that I was the author of some work, and the user has uploaded it as {{own}} and then in several minutes has changed the file description page to reflect me as the author; let us then imagine that I go and file a case for violation of copyright/licence/moral rights. I am pretty sure that in that case the court would probably not even allow me to take it to trial, and would dismiss such a case. I wouldn't be too surprised if after such an incident I would be be penalised by being disallowed to file court cases without some sort of prior approval for some period of time. Should we have an option in the Upload Wizzard that says "Just upload the file, I will edit the description myself", which would upload the file with the comment "Uploaded a file with unknown status with Upload Wizzard"? I say we should. @LordLiberty: Please visit my user page, on the right you will see a set of links, one of them is for upload page that simply lets you put your own wikitext in one field, without all the nonsense that Upload Wizzard does. I will suggest that you switch to use such a method if you enjoy editing wikitext and do not like answering tons of separate questions, that are asked by Upload Wizzard. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 09:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

The only one behaving uncivilly is you (LordLiberty), if you keep it up, you will get blocked for disruptive and uncivil behaviour. I suggest that cease the uncivil comments. Just a friendly tip; In the UploadWizard you can use other options to the upload(s), since the license I use isn't available, so in Release rights part of the UploadWizard, I click on "This file is not my own work" (add the source and author [something similar in the example above I gave]) and when it comes to the license (on the same page) I click on "Another reason not mentioned above" (you can add the correct license template in this section).

Yeah that's how you keep power on this platform isnet it, with bully and troll tactics, trol networks chase eveybody of here they dont agree with, read the news about wikipedia, its full with stories like this, you accuse people with false and fake information, and you bully and troll them, i just call it out for what it is, that is not uncivil, you people on the other hand bully, trol, accuse and falsify information, and that is very uncivil.

When the last 1,000 edits on our watchlists are 100% QuickStatements from the same user, and these are not marked as minor or bot edits, I believe most folks would call that a spam problem.

Can someone advise Adam, and the rest of us, how to solve this so the solution can be required of everyone using mass QuickStatements. If it is not solvable, then let's ban these mass edits (i.e. simply block Magnus' https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/ from edit rights on Commons) until there is a decent solution for everyone to follow.

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by P Cesar MaldonadoEdit

I am posting this as I need an uninvolved administrator to assess the following:

The situation is becoming ridiculous and untenable due to P Cesar Maldonado complete failure to understand that Facebook's terms of service is incompatible with Commons' licensing policy, and continues to argue that uploading content on Facebook makes the work "free of copyright". Now, they attempt to argue tone. Originally, I had opened the discussion, rather than processing the speedy deletion, as they had challenged the SD nomination at COM:UDR and to provide an opportunity for P Cesar Maldonado to provide a rationale as to why, per policy, the initial SD nomination was incorrect. After reading and reviewing their responses, I now believe I was mistaken in not processing the SD noms and strongly believe that SD nominations were correct, esp. because P Cesar Maldonado is ardent in their belief that the content that they uploaded are not copyright violations and that the Facebook terms of service somehow makes "free of copyright". As I stated above, I need an uninvolved administrator to assess the discussion and the situation. Whether any action is taken or not, a fresh pair of eyes would be greatly appreciated. --Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 20:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

I do not oppose the situation, if the images must be deleted because they do not really comply with the conditions of free use, I do not make any problem. The conflict is here, that the administrator who intervened is not in the capacity to clearly define and textualize the situation in the clearest possible way to the questions asked [11]. Many users, and I am not referring precisely to me, but not all of us are up to date and totally soaked with the conditions of Commons and other platforms because they are quite a lot and need a lot of reading. But it is annoying and in bad taste that the "administrator" uses bold phrases [12], when Commons itself asks that it not be used COM:TALK, and indirectly uses insults or if they are not to such an extent, at least they offend any user that they treat it that way [13], even in the administrator's message previously using the term "ridiculous". --P Cesar Maldonado (talk) 20:47, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Let's lay the facts out
  1. You claimed own work and that you are the copyright holder in each of the files you've uploaded. That is clearly false and misleading.
  2. You were given the opportunity to clearly note that this was not your own work when uploading
  3. You have warnings on your talk from 2015, 2019 and the beginning of 2020 that clearly points to our policies concerning licensing, copyright rules, and what constitutes as copyright violation.
  4. You were told on multiple occasion in a very short span of time that Facebook's terms of service is not compatible with Commons' licensing policy, and yet you've misconstrued the situation by asking how Commons' policy was not compatible with Facebook's terms.
  5. The use of the bolding was not in contravention to COM:TALK as it states "Don't use a lot of Italic text, Bold text, or CAPITAL LETTERS" -- operative work is a lot which was not the case.
  6. The use of the term ridiculous was in reference to the situation, and was not direct to you as a person. And the situation is absurd if one has to explain over and over again.
  7. Not once did I insult you. If you took offense to anything I wrote, that is on you, not me as I was reiterating basic core policy.
--Ìch heiss Nat. Redd mìt mìr.🥨 21:23, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • I answer.
  1. Yes, it is my job by editing, but at no time did I say that I was "the photographer", he is putting words in my mouth. Also, accept that the images were original from Facebook [14] I did not deny
  2. I was clear explaining that the Administrator was not clear in her explanation and does not have the capacity to put the cards on the table.
  3. I use bold to "repeat" what supposedly "I did not understand", the approach I use is clearly evident that I am trying to show another feeling.
  4. As an administrator it is not correct in a situation like that to use those terms even if it is for the "situation".
  5. It is inadmissible that I "self-offend", the way to deal with the situation by the administrator is not the correct ethical and moral and with the necessary values.
P Cesar Maldonado (talk) 21:50, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
Forget the past. What is your plan going forward? Do you understand that something posted on Facebook is still under the copyright of the creator? Do you understand that you taking the image and posting it here does not make you the copyright holder ("photographer" or not)? These are not vague or confusing concepts or if they are, that's a different problem for you. Competence is required. If not, then we need a block to avoid wasting more time here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:15, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Gordito1869: user page and user talk pageEdit

While working in the German Wikipedia on articles about the family of Plessen I first came across discussion posts of the user w:de:user:Gordito1869 who was blocked indefinitely because of personal attacks, and then the user of the same name user:Gordito1869 here. I wonder if large parts of the user page and the user talk page are in compliance with the project scope (Commons:Project scope/Pages, galleries and categories#User pages, galleries and categories) for the following reasons:

  1. The usage of some files and other private documents which were deleted (Löschung von PDFs) was always restricted on links (or inclusions) to the user page or user talk page of the uploader.
  2. On these pages Gordito1869 argues against living members of the Plessen family by using the private family papers as supposed evidence.
  3. The user page starts with an important notice in German with links to some of the private papers mentioned. A raw translation in English:
    IMPORTANT NOTICE : For the absolute truthfulness of ALL of my statements on this/ my User Page & on my User Discussion Page, I hereby - by name - give an affidavit. - If you have even the slightest doubt about my (truthful) statements, please contact me personally under my guestbook or under my +++ postal address +++. - I will/would send him/her - at my expense - a copy (to a reasonable extent) of the desired documents, letters & if applicable documents, which might give reason for reasonable doubt (these doubts would have to be explained (if applicable) in my guestbook or via letter; if the doubts should concern a true & selfless nobleman from the noble knight's family, he/she should be asked beforehand (!) according to "Audiatur et altera pars". --- I see myself absolutely and imperatively committed to the TRUTH and the REPUTATION & the HONOR of my own family & that of my bodily ancestors. - signed. Michael Josef Pfeiffer, Cologne, 09.08.2020 Gordito1869 (talk) 16:38, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
    --- --- --- PS : By the way, it is strongly recommended to send various (in my opinion important) documents, certificates & records - like this one +++ invoice to a completely unauthorized (!) THIRD party +++ vs. the +++ legal (!) claims of the exclusive (!) authorized (!) parties +++ - prompt (! ) and on the occasion of the next family day of all Plessen (-57 member) attached to the federation and to present at present still current chairman of the family federation, USER:Christian von Plessen, with the request around decided DARLING of the factual and legal situation to the time-honored Plessengut DOLGEN of page 771 (progenitor to Dolgen : Leopold Engelke baron von Plessen). --- With family & friendly greetings you/your Michael J. Pfeiffer, legitimate grandson of Leopold Freiherr von Plessen zu Dolgen (see below in the extensive text about the factual and legal situation regarding Dolgen & his +++ ENEMIES +++ (!) within the family von Plessen) - Gordito1869 (talk) 05:49, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
  4. In the German Wikipedia links to the user talk page ([15]) have been used by an IP address for link spam recently ([16]). However, the linked section doesn't contain useful information but links and strange statements in German like (raw translation):
    Order of the Temple --- --- --- Helmold, tell ME the truth, were YOU a Templar ? -Your disc knob of the sword with Templar cross, -Your armour from the 13th century, -Your pilgrimages to Jerusalem, -The dissolution of the Order of the Temple a. D. 1312 ... admit it, Helmold : YOU WERE A TEMPLER ! - (This fills me with awe & family pride - by virtue of YOUR blood in +++ MY veins +++, Helmoldus !!!)
    Note : Thank God, the former mayor of Schleswig, Dr. Arthur Christiansen, personally took over the sponsorship for the venerable knight Helmold III. von Plessen-Fenster in the cathedral of Schleswig in June 2020 (Knight Helmold III. von Plessen was a member of the Order of the Brothers of the Sword in Livonia). --- Dr. Arthur Christiansen - Quote : "With my first name, of course, only the Ritter-Fenster came into question." (end of quote). --- The splendid knight Helmold III. von Plessen window (right in the picture - with Plessen coat of arms) was donated by the first district administrator of Schleswig Hugo von Plessen. --- "Long live OUR sword brother Helmold III, long live great uncle HUGO !!!".

Unfortunately Gordito1869 seems to misunderstand my project oriented activities as an attack on personal reasons although I tried to explain the disturbing effects of the links to his uploaded material and his texts for the article work in the German Wikipedia regarding the history of the Plessen family. Now he calls me "Denunziant" (Denunciator, used in German with a pejorative meaning [17]) and forbids me to use his talk page ([18]). On the other hand he describes a family dispute about real estate of the Plessen family ([19]) which in my view is not of historic interest and thus I consider the private family papers of no educational purpose. I am willing to discuss any problem on an objective level anytime, but I ask to be protected from insults and unproven accusations. --ThT (talk) 08:03, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Scrappy1941 and vandalismEdit

Scrappy1941's only edit is to create File:Poop ass fat gross.png. The file itself isn't vandalism, but the associated text on the page and name is. The image might be a copyright violation (it seems to be something used in a school. Couldn't find it on google reverse search though), but is otherwise not a problem from what I can see. Said user is blocked for sockpuppetry and legal threats on enwiki. One of these sockpuppets, Scrappy1961, has edited here too. Would an admin/editor deal with the situation as appropriate as I am unsure of how to deal with this situation / if the file is a copyright violation. I've notified the users.
