- @Ziv It’s surprising. You reported it as belonging to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) without even checking the source.
- File:Hypersonic Missiles,The Front Line of the Arms Race (Defense Prime Episode 82) (Defense Media Agency).webm
- and File:Launching Ceremony of the Jang Bogo-III Batch-II 1st Ship, Jang Yeong-sil.webm is SOUTH KOREA.
- You said 'The video footage uses images not taken by the Korean Central News Agency.'
- It's KFN(Defense Media Agency) and Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN).
- This confirms that @Ziv filed a report without properly verifying the source.

- @Ziv I am raising an issue with the fact that you filed a deletion request without verifying the source.
- If you had clicked on the source even once, you would not have reported it for deletion.
- Klgchanu (talk) 18:02, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Ziv oh, I mistake. Last time requested deletion, it was processed immediately, so I thought it would be the same this time. Klgchanu (talk) 18:01, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- All your uploads have either been deleted or their deletion is currently being discussed. Just a side note, and a reference to the user disk of User_talk:Revi_C.#Other uploads by Klgchanu.

- It started by you making all quick deletion requests. (including mistakes)
- As you have requested a quick deletion, I think you should also be responsible for the act.
- As I said, please check the source by pressing the link at least once before requesting deletion. It seems to me that it was just copied and pasted.
- Klgchanu (talk) 19:46, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Another false claim! Do you really think I wouldn't check your sources? זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 19:56, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

- It was by South Korea government, and South Korea navy.
- I kindly entered all the copyright holders.
- If you click the source and check copyright holders once, you didn't claim deletion. I was watching you request deletion in real time. The time of each deletion request was precisely short, and all the reasons for deletion requests were the same.("not taken by the Korean Central News Agency")
- That's what I said you didn't check the sources. Klgchanu (talk) 20:28, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- I really wonder why you're doing that to me. All my requests for deletion of images are only requested by you or you to ask another manager. Why do you request deletion without even checking the source? I think you are a meticulous person who doesn't usually do this, but I think you are swayed by emotions. I feel like I'm being cyberbullyed. Klgchanu (talk) 04:33, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

I deleted all of their uploads CSD F10 (they're all made-up flags accompanied by personal essays in the file pages). IMO, it's clear that they're NOTHERE, and they've already been blocked as such on EnWiki, but since each time I deleted their files, they left a wall of text on my user talk page, I figure I'm too involved to block them. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 10:09, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Done Indeffed as clearly NOTHERE. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:22, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

This user has uploaded photos that are clearly not his own as own pictures. Examples: File:Présentation en.jpg, File:Excellent.jpg
I was one of the organizers of the event and do not know him. He does not respond to inquiries on his discussion page, even though he edited a Wikipedia project yesterday [1]. Given his discussion page in this project, I think administrators should take a look at this user. Stepro (talk) 20:42, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

--Kontributor 2K (talk) 11:05, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
- In this example both the original and the new license are incorrect. The file needs a correct license or has to be deleted. GPSLeo (talk) 12:38, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure if PD-shape was relevant in the example, since it's "own work based", and the linked website claims "Copyright © 2019". Also, I'm still not certain about the relevance of the user's other interventions. --Kontributor 2K (talk) 12:45, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
- It has to be some kind of PD-old or PD-gov. Creating a vector version of a raster file does not create a new copyright. GPSLeo (talk) 18:01, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Uploads by User:AntoineIDE
Hello dear colleagues,
A Wikipedia contributor mentioned me this user, active on Commons since June 2022. I was asked to delete a clear copyvio uploaded by AntoineIDE (File:CF1976.jpg). I had a look on the other files uploaded by this user and most of them are really suspicious. AntoineIDE claims that his uploads are personal work but the quality and the fact there are no Exif make me feel that these pictures are all copyvios. It would be nice if another admin could have a look on his remaining uploads.
On his talk page, we can read that he received many messages pointing his problematic uploads, but he went on uploading files found elsewhere as his personal works. Could we regard blocking this account for a while ?
Best regards, Pymouss Let’s talk - 20:51, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Pymouss: Here's one thing I found. Compare this with File:Michel Polnareff 012023.jpg (screenshot per exif). It looks like he may have taken copyrigted professional concert video and edited it to create this image. His remaining uploads may meet COM:PCP for deletion too. Geoffroi 20:10, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
- This was all despite a final warning 16:58, 12 September 2022 (UTC). I notified them of this section for you, despite their legendary history of uncommunicative behavior. Hopefully, this user's empty block log will be no more. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:17, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

I put another message with a question about this reverting, but again he reverted it. Can he get a warning? JopkeB (talk) 06:09, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

- SLBedit (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
@SLBedit: is persistently modifying the kits on S.L. Benfica kits. This incident and their previous activity seems to indicate a COM:OWN issue to me. I have reverted their edits several times, on each occasion leaving reasoning in my edit summary and also addressing it on their talk page. SLBedit has consistently refused to engage in discussion and their edit summaries here and here shows no sign of intending to do so. I cannot bothered, neither do I want, to be involved in an edit war with someone who is repeatedly ignoring guidelines. SLBedit seems to feel they have control over the page. As a side note, an account on the mainstream wiki with the exact same name has received several blocks/bans over this exact same issue of edit warring/page ownership etc. Obviously there is no definite proof they are the same user but the behaviour is strikingly similar. Anywho I've warned them that if they carried on I'd bring this here and now I have.
I'd greatly appreciate input/help on this matter. I am happy to discuss it and if needed change my opinion on it but I am yet to find any reason why there can be no logos and this seems to be the only way to get SLBedit to actual respond to me. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 18:54, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
- @REDMAN 2019: Hi. Since 2015, they cannot be different users; they appear to be one person obstinately editing against consensus. Also, Special:Diff/1061475936 and Special:Diff/1089545062 actually illustrate what you are writing about. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:51, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Jeff G.: Thanks for the reply. I reckon this will need dealing with by an Admin since they aren't gonna listen. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 17:00, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

- @Jeff G.: Thanks for the reply. I reckon this will need dealing with by an Admin since they aren't gonna listen. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 17:00, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
@REDMAN 2019, Jeff G., and SLBedit: I gave this a few minutes, but I can't readily see what are the relevant differences here, partly because it seems the edits change the layout of the page so I can't do a quick visual comparison. Can someone be specific about exactly what have been at least some of the substantive disagreements here? - Jmabel ! talk 22:02, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: Of course. Basically it was originally a minor matter of should kit manufacturers logos i.e. Adidas, Nike etc, be included on the kit templates. SLBedit is opposed to their inclusion despite literally every other kit page on WikiCommons having them. Their reason for why they shouldn't be included has changed a few times, ranging from 'They are trademarked and can't be used on Commons' (they can), to they make the page look worse, and currently it seems to be simply 'I don't like/want them on the page'. This is what I can tell from the edit summaries at least as they won't answer any of the messages I've sent them. They have also removed an unrelated section on alternative kits but haven't provided any info why so far.
- It's basically a matter of me saying, 'this is on every other page and the kit templates are not prohibited in any way'. I don't understand what the issue is with them being on the page and SLBedit is yet to provide any concrete reason as to why they can't either. I've been editing kits and kit pages on Commons for years and I have never one come across this kind of situation/opinion.
- That, at least, is my side of it. REDMAN 2019 (talk) 18:39, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
