about User:Benzoyl
Benzoyl (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
User:Benzoyl uploads copyright violation files and out of scope files many times. Files uploaded by him/her have been frequently deleted. (Please see many deletion records in User talk:Benzoyl.) He/She seems not to understand copyright and aim of Wikimedia Commons. I think that warning by administrator is necessary to him/her.
In addition, he/she is an indefinitely blocked user in ja.wikipedia. (Please see ja:利用者:Benzoyl. ) --Ralth Galth (talk) 03:19, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Info Investigated also in AN/B; no reason for block found. Ankry (talk) 08:22, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

These are not all of them. I think that warning by administrator is necessary to him/her.--Ralth Galth (talk) 00:06, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Comment Maybe User:Benzoyl can not distinguish between important and trivial.
- He/she constantly creates useless categories. (e.g. Category:Black, gold, orange, white)
- Even if other users point out to him/her, he/she does not reply seriously. (e.g. File talk:23.3.20 NEAA:給食支援(仙台市七郷小)① 東日本大震災における災害派遣活動 48.jpg)--禁樹なずな (talk) 13:46, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
It seems to me that User:Benzoyl has uploaded the copyrighted works intentionally. I'd like everyone to read
- User_talk:Benzoyl#Please_don't_upload_copyrighted_works_while_you_know.
- User_talk:Benzoyl#Please do not upload photos of posters.
- User_talk:Benzoyl#Please don't upload photos of copyrighted advertisements.

Comment User:Benzoyl doesn't intend to violate copyrights.
- However, as soon as he finds something astound, he compulsively upload or categorise it, and so, his deeds tend to confuse other users.--禁樹なずな (talk) 12:53, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. --Benzoyl (talk) 06:18, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- To 禁樹なずな. Thank you for your comment. If so, I think Benzoyl should not join the Wikimedia Commons. Participation by people who don't understand what is the main subject of the photos, it brings confusion to the Wikimedia Commons. --Ralth Galth (talk) 10:08, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
Image from Internet ?
File:Agrarhandelsbetrieb.png I think taht image is taken from internet. I am not sure. what can i do ? --Blonder1984 (talk) 19:41, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
- I've done a Google reverse image search, and can't find any other instances of the image online. I think you should probably ask the uploader for some further information, and if you're not satisfied with the response, consider opening a Deletion Review. Nick (talk) 20:04, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Copyvios from User:Gurbar Akaal
All images uploaded (earlier this year) by Gurbar Akaal (talk · contribs) appear to be copyvios with false claims of either "own work"/cc-by-sa or "PD-India". Please mass-delete. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:02, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Comment - While I disagree that they are own work, I do want to agree that majority of the images are PD work. Wikicology (talk) 07:22, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Which ones? Most of the ones I've seen are paintings of undisclosed authorship, evidently modern (20th century). They all seem much too young to assume 60 years p.m.a. (and in any case, it would be up to the uploader to prove that). Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:57, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- So, is anything going to happen here? Do I really have to nominate all of these files for deletion separately? Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:52, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Illegitimate Barrister
Illegitimate Barrister repeatedly has uploaded images that have been eventually deleted. He did not participate in Commons:Deletion requests/File:'You Bet Your Life' title card (1955-1960).jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Sammy Lee in 'You Bet Your Life', 1956.png. He has been notified about this, but he constantly either removes or archives the notifications. Also, when tried to delete the local en wiki copy, I told him that I would nominate the Commons one for deletion. Then he swore me off. If two images are not enough, one of the images is discussed at Commons:Deletion requests/Infinite (Eminem album), though not yet closed. Hedwig in Washington can explain the user's conduct on one matter. If that is also not enough, look at all the logs at his user talk page. --George Ho (talk) 01:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- George Ho, What is the problem here? I am struggling to see why you dragged this user here. They swore me off on the English Wikipedia, so they should be blocked on Commons? No! They ignored the DR I initiated, they should be blocked, Oh... yes! They erase the DR notification on their talk page, so they should be blocked? George, it is not compulsory for users to participate in every discussion and policy allow users to remove DR notification from their user talk page, this does not magically mean they are rude or hate you. If you think they have uploaded copyvios, of course you are welcomed to tag them for deletion and warn them, if they continue to repeat the same behavior, you can draw the attention of any administrator to it. This noticeboard is for discussing serious problems. Thank you. Wikicology (talk) 07:11, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry for not being clear, Wikicology. The user keeps uploading files that have copyright issues, and he puts notifications into User talk:Illegitimate Barrister/Archive 1 (latest version. Here are his archiving activities: [1], [2][3][4][5]. I hate to admit that he does some good contributions, like File:Seal of Holmes Beach, Florida.png. However, the notifications keep coming. --George Ho (talk) 07:22, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- I don't see any problems here. The user seems to upload images in good faith. Copyright is tricky (and often ridiculous). Archiving your talk page is completely fine. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 07:37, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
My apologies to Illegitimate Barrister for not showing good faith to him. Copyright has become annoying anymore. I don't know... maybe he can use COM:VPCOPY? --George Ho (talk) 08:50, 18 December 2016 (UTC)- Wait... I found one proof that he also said that in Commons before archiving the notifications without the swearing. --George Ho (talk) 11:26, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Found another of his swearing (archived). More likely his swearing represents his disregard for warnings. --George Ho (talk) 11:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Done That was indeed absolutely unacceptable. User warned. Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 11:32, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Not just user talk page, here is another page. I don't know whether swearing is okay, but your thoughts? --George Ho (talk) 11:42, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Seems that he accepted the warning and then archived it. --George Ho (talk) 19:08, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
While he may have rights to archive, look at those samples. He sometimes, occasionally, or often archives messages at the instant of receiving them. --George Ho (talk) 11:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- I regularly remove DR notifications on my talk page and do not archive them. If a user manually removes a DR notification instead of just hitting the "undo" button, I think that is a fairly good indication they have seen it and are aware of the DR in process. Whether they chose to participate is their own prerogative. Fry1989 eh? 17:37, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
Picture refused
Hello, I want to upload this picture of a house. I made it myself, but it is refused. I want to upload it to Astraat 19 and to Huize Noordeinde. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Standorhoutmees (talk • contribs) 14:36, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- I do not understand. You have no deleted contributions and your only upload (a dog) is OK. Did you get some error message when trying to upload a photo about house? Which one? (Bytheway, photographing of houses is really problematic in some countries.) Taivo (talk) 16:13, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
- Look at the filter log. —LX (talk, contribs) 23:52, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

- Blocked by the filter who is blocking copyvios from x-wiki upload feature. This is a false positive, but that is unavoidable. The file can be uploaded via Special:UploadWizard. The user asked at Commons:Help_desk#Picture refused as well. The filter is showing a warning, so it should be possible to upload the file following a few steps whiteout asking. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:42, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Inappropriate behavior of Jcb
Hi I just got a message from this user in a very rude language with several pernonal attacks - see here. I dont like to block or warn myself cause I'm involved here. So I'm asking for a second view of some admins collegues. Thx. --JuTa 10:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Done Blocked for a week, for a start. Yann (talk) 11:40, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Light show and copyvios
Below is a copy of the reasoning I've included for deletion of two images uploaded by Light show in the last day or so. Because Light show has been banned previously from uploading images, and it seems she has now once again violated policy on copyrights -- even though she knows better because of the prior ban on uploading files -- I am bringing this here for administrator attention. Masem, en.wikipedia administrator, is now aware of this as well. She was unblocked previously here in Commons, promising to not make the same copyright violations as she did prior to her block. The two photos now up for deletion (File:Valley trailer 67-2.jpg, File:Valley trailer 67.jpg) seem to be evidence that she is back to doing the same thing once again, regardless of what she had promised she would no longer do. I leave it up to admins to take care of this further. Evidence for the above follows:
I've been able to determine that both of the screenshots from Valley of the Dolls movie trailers that Light show uploaded (one of which is now the infobox image for the Sharon Tate article) are copyrighted. The trailer can be seen here at Rotten Tomatoes: [1]. At 1:18 into the trailer, the copyright notice comes up as "Copyright ("c" in circle) MCMLXVII by Red Lion Productions, Inc". Then, at imdb [2], the trailer is longer, but the same copyright notice comes up at 3:22 into it as "Copyright ("c" in circle) MCMLXVII by Red Lion Productions, Inc." and 20th Century Fox Film Corporation." This is two trailers with copyright notices. This proves the screenshots Light show uploaded are copyright violations. Light show notated that these images are not copyrighted. This is untrue. Light show has previously been banned from uploading images at Commons because of extensive copyright vios. I'm pinging the following administrators who were involved in the Wikipedia ANI discussion re: her ban from uploading images: Calliopejen1, Diannaa, Laser brain, Moonriddengirl as well as Revent here at Commons. Since this is a major holiday weekend, I figured it would be best to notify several admins to get this dealt with ASAP. Winkelvi (talk) 02:13, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
