I deleted the flag as a copyright violation of this. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:50, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Not done I'm not seeing a pattern of copyright violations here. Most of their deleted files are flags that were either zapped as duplicates or uploader request. When their uploads are deleted as copyright violations, it's almost always because someone else uploaded the flag, and then Sangjinhwa cleaned up the SVG code. There were also a few FoP uploads too, but again, not a pattern of them. I don't see how a block would be productive here. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Flag of India.svg unprotection

I would like an administrator to unprotect File:Flag of India.svg and let me overwrite the file to this one [1], then protect the page again after I overwrite it.

This was already disscussed in the file's talk page with Swapnil1101 stating that he got those colours by having a phone call with a government manufacturer. See File talk:Flag of India.svg for more information.

Best regards Undertiago (talk) 18:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Done @Undertiago: Tell me when you are done. Yann (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm trying to overwrite it but I have a message saying This filename is currently protected from (re)uploading and can be used solely by administrators. Do I have to make another request or you can unprotect it? Undertiago (talk) 20:18, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Undertiago: Ah yes, only antopatrolled users can overwrite this. So I ✓ did it. Please fix the description (colors). Yann (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Yann: Done, thanks. Undertiago (talk) 20:45, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Block request

14.0.128.0/17 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 

Very active with LTA, long time continue disruptive report and disruptive request delete, cross-wiki abuse and continued after last block.--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 11:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Comment I blocked Special:Block/14.0.174.0/24 for 3 months. 14.0.128.0/17 is a huge range. What would be the collateral damage? Yann (talk) 11:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thus IP range is dynamic, here can use page ban?--MCC214#ex umbra in solem 12:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Multiple page protection

These files have been subject to sockpuppetry in the last few months as various new accounts have been restoring a contested revision uploaded by TCFanssos. Upload protection needed, because I am sure a new account will pop up. Aintabli (talk) 07:02, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Another sock (Ob9u (talk · contribs)) has just restored their favorite version. Aintabli (talk) 01:07, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done Already globally blocked. Yann (talk) 22:58, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
✓ Done. The global block lasts only 2 days. I added a local block for a week. I also semi-protected your user talkpage as well. Taivo (talk) 10:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Taivo: Thanks, but given their level of commitment, should they be blocked "till death" (or our local max block length for an IP)?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
As all his/her edits are on the same page, semi-protection of the page seems currently enough. Taivo (talk) 11:35, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Issmar Rouse

The user has uploaded a large number of copyvios and continued to upload copyrighted images and conceal the copyright violation by modifying the image exposure value and cropping (e.g. img_1 from [1], img_2 from [2]). 0x0a (talk) 13:29, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

✓ Done I have issued an indef-block since they seem to return to same behaviour despite previous warnings. I also deleted several of their uploads as clear copyright violations. I'm taking a second look on the remaining images. ─ The Aafī (talk) 15:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
