Please consider blocking the following users for being sockpuppets (according to a sockpuppet investigation at Thai Wikipedia) and for keeping uploading copyright violation files despite warnings:

Nora Arnezeder imagery

Hello,

given the DR history of three files about a French actress:

I'd like to suggest a rather long or even indefinite semiprotection on them. They look like a target of recurring but senseless deletion requests (the last one authored by IP), cf. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Nora Arnezeder.jpg. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 20:09, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Abzeronow (talk) 20:38, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.jpg

For reasons I cannot fathom, this filename works like a honeytrap for copyvios. Blocking? Or not, and continuing in exploiting the trap function? Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 00:23, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like that image naming format from the CDN used by en:Redbubble. So I would imagine any file with f8f8f8 in the file name is a copyvio. Such as File:Poster,504x498,f8f8f8-pad,600x600,f8f8f8.jpg and File:Poster,840x830,f8f8f8-pad,1000x1000,f8f8f8.u1.jpg. William Graham (talk) 00:59, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Such files should suffer a cruel f8. :)   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 06:32, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Grand Kartal Hotel in Kartalkaya.jpg

File:Grand Kartal Hotel in Kartalkaya.jpg is locked and in the same tame has misleading categorization by anonymous user. This should be editable by confirmed users for improvements I think (like adding new main cat). —mykhal (talk) 07:01, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mykhal: This can't be unprotected from here because it is protected through cascade. It is currently used on English Wikipedia's Main Page. What changes are you suggesting? Which category should I replace with what? Regards, Aafi (talk) 07:13, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Grand Kartal is to be added, fire-related cats to be moved either to this cat or subcat (which may contain nonfree photos only as of now though), according to common(s) sense. —mykhal (talk) 07:19, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done. I have added the category and deleted one of the two non-free files. The other has been tagged as having no-license and will eventually go as well. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. Regards, Aafi (talk) 07:38, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
