- The files are nominated for deletion recently, but they were uploaded for years ago. Quick search did not reveal copyvios uploaded this summer. Of course, you can show what I missed. Taivo (talk) 10:17, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say the user has been uploading blatant copyvios, but he's uploading clear FoP-Russia cases (see his upload log in June and July), being warned several times not to do so. He's doing that intentionally, because he blocked from uploading files to ru.wiki due to persistent violations. Not sure this is a reason for block here, so you and other admins to decide.

Conflict over a renaming request, edit war is resulting
Hello,
an edit war is occurring. Is a page protection available to resolve the naming issue through discussion, without creating a precedent? Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 19:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done admin protected for 2 days while you guys discuss and resolve issue. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? -
uselesscontributions} 20:06, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
The fellow contributors clarified their rationales, see File talk:Bebeto Haddad Candidato a Prefeito de São Paulo 2024 - TSE.jpg. The issue is now solved, please unblock the page! Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 00:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC) @EugeneZelenko: as you were just visible in the recent changes, could you do a quick unblock, please? We've got a consensus, as far as I can tell as the guy who brought up the issue. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 15:42, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Grand-Duc Done. I have removed the protection. Regards, Aafi (talk) 15:46, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
My potential future block
I will admit, in the past I did upload pictures that were copyright. I apologize and it is my fault. Currently I am 1 copyright violation away from being blocked. It makes sense, if some of the photos that were deleted and taken down weren’t against copyright. These include File:Mighty Music Group with Afroman (cropped).jpg (the original was deleted and since I cropped it, I got a violation), File:Karroll for POTUS 2024.jpg, File:Art Olivier 2024 via art2024.org.webp (Photographer Art Olivier he sent email to VRT) File:Randall Terry in 2024.jpg (cropped image of other image that is copyright). In addition, I uploaded File:William Lee Hunt for President.jpg 2 times before I uploaded this file. It was deleted because they claimed the YouTube video it’s from (https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=iAvDIO7Z-b7OCe3o&v=F0i5KXMs2A4&feature=youtu.be) doesn’t have YouTube CC-BY marked, though it does. It’s currently being deleted again for the same reason, along with files File:Jackie Carpio, Host of Personal Politics.jpg and File:Daví for President.jpg that are derived from the same video. Also, File:Tony Jones for Narragansett Town Council.jpg is being deleted because the moderator claims it’s not marked with YouTube CC-BY, though it is in the following video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=3ZXoth_HOQDkiwYa&v=1A4majDGAJY&feature=youtu.be I apologize if I’m wasting whoever is reading this’s time. I just wanna know if I’m in the wrong or not. Thank you, LordBirdWord LordBirdWord (talk) 01:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

- For what its worth, both links are marked CC-BY, but I would need to dig deeper as to the origin of the image(s). @LordBirdWord, Here's the situation: while the videos are marked CC-BY, that doesn't meant that everything in the video is automatically CC-BY. If I put a copyrighted song in a video marked CC-BY, the music is still copyrighted. Thats why even if the video is marked with a compatible license, an image in their might not be OK to upload. We call this "license laundering". The other problem is you reuploaded a file that had been deleted, rather than requesting undeletion. If an email was sent to VRT, then you need to put {{subst:PP}} on the image so that admins know that it might be a week or two before VRT confirms that its ok. A read of com:scope might be useful here.
- I'm happy to answer any questions either here or at my talk page.

- All the Best -- Chuck Talk 05:18, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Pinging @Belbury as the person who gave the warning. At least some of this looks to me like pretty honest misunderstandings. - Jmabel ! talk 16:34, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- The warning was off the back of the fact that LordBirdWord has five months of talk page warnings for falsely uploading other people's social media video stills as "own work", and that after Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with @GeorgeMicro1 was closed last month with concerns that George Micro's Twitter content might also be using other people's video stills with false claims, LordBirdWord had uploaded more George Micro content with (at the time) dead and unverifiable YouTube link sources.
- The most recent discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by LordBirdWord wasn't that the content doesn’t have YouTube CC-BY marked, it's that it's from George Micro, who from recent history seems like he may be mistaken when he says that a piece of content is his own work and can be CC-BY licenced to his name. Belbury (talk) 17:08, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- And I apologize. I knew that some of the work I uploaded wasn’t under copyright. But there was some, that are listed above, that I believe I’m innocent for. That I believe was a misunderstanding and I uploaded them in good faith of them being copyright free. LordBirdWord (talk) 19:53, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- You're very welcome to open Commons:Undeletion requests on any files that you can show were incorrectly deleted, so that somebody can take a look. Just don't upload any more images claiming them to be freely licenced or your own work, when that isn't the case. Belbury (talk) 09:57, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- And I apologize. I knew that some of the work I uploaded wasn’t under copyright. But there was some, that are listed above, that I believe I’m innocent for.
