El usuario ha pedido la eliminación de todas las banderas y escudos del Ecuador que he subido, alegando que "no son de dominio público", no obstante, le he mostrado la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual de Ecuador, [15] cuyo artículo 10 establece que las disposiciones legales y reglamentarias, las decisiones e instrumentos judiciales, los acuerdos, deliberaciones y resoluciones de los organismos públicos, así como sus traducciones oficiales (esto abarca toda clase de símbolos oficiales), no son objeto de protección de ninguna índole. No obstante, ha hecho caso omiso de ello, malinterpretando la ley a su manera, a pesar de que es un recurso aceptado hace varios años atrás en Wikimedia Commons. -- David C. S. 17:14, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The intellectual property law of Ecuador has been misinterpreted to date. It makes no mention whatsoever about an exception to copyright protection for coats of arms, flags, emblems and other symbols. It does mention that it does not protect "las disposiciones legales y reglamentarias, las resoluciones judiciales y los actos, acuerdos, deliberaciones y dictámenes de los organismos públicos, así como sus traducciones oficiales", which suggests it refers to words, text, not artworks such as those mentioned before, but essentially law and rules, speeches originating from public institutions. I have been going through some of the flags and coats of arms, nominating for deletion those that seem to me they are not public domain, and unless they are 70 years old, they all should be deleted. I have deleted some blatant copyright violations during my journey; in fact, I could have just deleted them all at sight as they are clear copyright violations to me, however I wanted to open deletion requests for David to defend their uploads and to get second opinions. I ask a fellow admin to take whatever actions deems necessary. As I pointed out recently on David's talk page, they've been incorrectly adding {{PD-EC-exempt}} as a means of justification of some files' licensing, but as I've expressed before, it does not apply to artworks. If David can find a judicial decision explicitly saying, based on that law, that it does extend its exception to artworks, then I may change my opinion. As it reads very explicitly, it does not. --Bedivere (talk) 17:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not to mention David C. S. has overwritten some legitimate PD flags in order to include copyrighted artwork. See for example: File:Bandera Pedro Vicente Maldonado.jpg. Bedivere (talk) 17:21, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They've also completely disregarded my talk page message by continuing to add the template PD-EC-exempt after my message. See their contribs and [16]. --Bedivere (talk) 17:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Disagreements about licenses, and interpretation of laws should be discussed in the appropriate places, i.e. DRs and COM:VPC. This is not a user problem. I converted 2 speedy deletions into regular deletions. Yann (talk) 17:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Support La denuncia de David C. S. aquí no es por DRs, sino por el comportamiento de Bedivere, quien se ha mostrado muy hostil, llegando incluso a amenazar con bloquear a David C. S. [17] Ha dilatado el tema de DRs, no queriendo aceptar lo expuesto en la ley ecuatoriana, e incluso se lo ha tomado personal,[18] lo cual no es propio de un administrador de Wikimedia Commons.

  •  Support administrative action I was unaware of the previous AN threads and it seems clear to me this user has a history of completely disregarding the opinion and advice from administrators and experienced editors. Just above this thread, they've not only called my advice "intimidation" as quoted by Jeff, but they've also reivindicated Rodolfo Matias' troublesome comments about me. They've put into question my own proficiency at reading and understanding texts just because I am a "foreigner" or "not Ecuadorian". The thing started this way: David requested autopatroller (the very first edit they made here after their block expiration); I was going to grant the right but read their talk page archives (did not find a block notice for instance) and noticed they were repeated copyright violation uploaders so denied them the right (unaware they already had the right and had it removed, nevermind about the block log); I reviewed several of their uploads and eventually nominated a lot for deletion since they were all copyvios (but disguised as PD - which he claimed as own work anyway) because they are misinterpreting the Ecuadorian intellectual property law; as a result, I've been the target of David and Rodolfo Matias' personal attacks, which I think are unfounded. Also, as per Jeff, I warned them not to continue adding unfoundedly the PD-EC-exempt tag, which they disregarded completely and not just that, even after I reiterated my warning, they continued to add it. Given the clear track and per the previous ANU thread, I suggest having this user blocked/banned by community consensus. --Bedivere (talk) 03:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JuanjoAvalos[edit]

For years, I have been railing against incomplete deletion requests, which are caused by malformed use of {{Delete}} templates and lack of follow-through, and which are populating subcats of Category:Incomplete deletion requests. This problem spurred the creation of that category 17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC), over 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over three years ago. As a precedent, ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page". JuanjoAvalos made this left arm edit and this right arm edit on or before 18 February 2024: adding {{Delete2}} on the same page as {{Delete}}; and omitting the subpage, transclusion, year, month, and day. I warned them in these edits 11:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC), surviving as User talk:JuanjoAvalos#File:Kit right arm caus2023a.png. They did it again in this body edit 21:44, 13 March 2024 (UTC), this shorts edit 21:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC), this left arm edit 21:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC), and this right arm edit 21:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC): omitting the reason, subpage, transclusion, year, month, and day. They also have histories of uploading copyvios, removing speedy deletion tags, and removing warnings from their user talk page.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:林高志[edit]

The user upload multiple nearly-identical photos of the same subject. Judging from his upload log and his contributions I can't help but thinking that he just blindly uploaded photos.

Uploading files as CC0 when they're not CC0; some files are actually copyright violations Mvcg66b3r (talk) 00:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Leaning oppose on any admin actions Seems like an honest mistake. The files are all fine under {{Pd-textlogo}}, and the ones that haven't already been adjusted have been changed accordingly. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:50, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was about to comment the same. I've reviewed their uploads and they're mostly fine, except some whose shading or design makes me wonder if they're PD.

 Not done because  No action at the moment is warranted per above. ─ Aafī (talk) 04:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Over on Wikipedia, DMA180guy and Sammi Brie are saying some of BMarGlines' uploads are fake, particularly these:

I have nominated these files for deletion. These logos aren't even on Logopedia. Maybe you should look into BMarGlines' behavior. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 12:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything wrong with these logos. I've inspected a couple and they are actually the same or a very close depiction (avoiding copyrighted elements such as that of WVLT). These POINT-y requests for deletion are disrupting (I am closing some) and I advise you to stop this behaviour. Take this as a warning. Bedivere (talk) 14:21, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bedivere: They should at least have a source besides the call signs of the television channels. Otherwise I'd air on the side of deleting them since there's no way to verify they are real and someone can't just say without evidence that the logo came from the television channel. Like with File:WSAW TV 2023.svg the source is NewsChannel 7 and the author is Gray Television. I assume neither of those are the uploader. So they had to have gotten the logo from somewhere and there's no reason not to provide a source to wherever that was. Otherwise the file should just be deleted along with the others. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:33, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've checked each of the logos and they are exactly the same as each of the channels have them published on their websites, or as close as they can be. I don't see a real reason to delete them. The nominator falsely says theyve been uploaded as CC0 (they haven't) and then goes to claim these are false, when a simple Google search proves otherwise. The nominator also states "per X", per "Y" but that's not a valid reason for deletion. The information can be improved on each file, for sure, and that's @BMarGlines: ' work, but these are real logos and the reason to nominate them in the first place is not right. Bedivere (talk) 14:38, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I checked a couple of them and couldn't find anything at all similar to the ones I researched. Like with File:KXJB KX4.svg, there isn't a logo that's at all comparable to it. At least from what I can tell. The same goes for a couple of others. In the slightest the uploader shouldn't be claiming the logos author is "Hoak Media" if it's different from original to make uncopyrighted. Otherwise can you put links to the originals in the file descriptions since your saying they are "exactly the same as each of the channels have them published on their websites" and ask the uploader to do the same from now on? Or again, the files should just be deleted.
Really not to tell how do your job, but you should have waited until there was more discussion about it and the sources/authors were fixed before closing the DRs. It's not that unsually to nominate questionable logos for deletion. Nor is there anything wrong with asking the uploader to provide more information about where they got the files from as part of that process. So there was zero reason to close the deletion requests that quickly or without giving other people time to comment. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:51, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the uploader should be more dilligent by providing proper information about the logos. But in my searches I found the logos and thought the requests to be pointless. For instance, the logo you mention is nearly the same as found here. I can reopen the discussions if you wish, no problem with that, but I maintain the position that these were made in bad faith. Bedivere (talk) 15:02, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The original from the video has the CBS logo and doesn't say "Valley News Live." Plus it's from a YouTube video. You'd have to agree that a completely different logo from a YouTube video exactly the same as each of the channels have them published on their websites" like you were claiming. So do you have a link to the exact logo from KXJB KX4's website or not? Also, while I can understand "cleaning up" a logo to remove copyrighted elements, the CBS logo is composed of basic shapes, which aren't copyrighted. Plus there's no "valley News Live" in the original either. So the claim that the changes are simply to avoid copyrighted elements is clearly spurious. Anyway, I'm not going to argue over minor trifles, but it would be nice if you reopened the DRs since the whole thing clearly wasn't as clean cut as your making it out to be. Thanks. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[19] It's the exact same logo. There goes the official website. Bedivere (talk) 15:26, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, minus the 'CBS Eye' which there was no reason to remove since it's not copyrighted. Come on Bedivere, that's like saying File:Walt Disney Pictures text logo.svg and this are the exact same thing. It's not like I even care. Except that again for like the 3rd time the uploader shouldn't be saying the logo came from KX4/VNL or that the source is "Hoak Media" when it's heavily modified and clearly made by the uploader, not the television channel itself. I guess I could just meet you half way and blank the source and author fields on all the files if your not willing to renominate them for deletion. You think that would be a reasonable compromise or do you have a better way to fix the issue? --Adamant1 (talk) 15:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've reopened the discussion. I don't have a strong opinion on the issue and don't really care if these get deleted, but I don't think not being an exact representation of the logo is grounds for deletion Bedivere (talk) 16:47, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It should be if the uploader intentionally misrepresents who created the logo or where it came from. And its not like they have addressed this or fixed anything either. So there's no reason to give them benefit of the doubt. We'll have to agree to disagree though. --Adamant1 (talk) 17:00, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let me reset a bit with some context for the non-topic editors here. w:Gray Television owns lots of local TV stations in the US. Recently, they've gone through and removed the NBC peacock from their NBC affiliates (to promote local branding). They haven't done this with the CBS affiliates, and certainly not at w:KPHO-TV. That's where I drew the line, reverted two edits, and the whole thing started falling apart. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:42, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taichi (talk) 19:08, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those under TOO should be relicensed too. A09 (talk) 21:58, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

copyvios By User:AHMSAbdelwahab[edit]

This user's only uploads are copyvios of company logos from google. 46 of them. Alachuckthebuck (talk) 19:43, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see some logos are too simple to be copyrighted, but the sourcing is troublesome. Some are obvious copyright violations. I will delete those that are obvious but I suggest you to nominate the others. I will add a warning. Bedivere (talk) 19:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for helping with the cleanup! Should we clean up the pd-text logos, or just go with deletion? Alachuckthebuck (talk) 19:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think they should be cleaned up, but if there are superior versions (SVG for instance), these should just be deleted. Bedivere (talk) 20:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the size of these companies, we definitely have better copies. All his uploads have been nominated for deletion as copyvios. Alachuckthebuck (talk) 20:29, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Deleted a couple more. Will leave the others (all PD-textlogo) for another admin to handle. Bedivere (talk) 20:53, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have they been tagged already, or should I go and tag them? Alachuckthebuck (talk) 20:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are all tagged. I would prefer if you could nominate them for deletion instead of requesting speedy deletion as copyright violations, which isn't clear they are. Bedivere (talk) 20:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops! Fixing, first time using VFC. Alachuckthebuck (talk) 21:09, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've deleted a couple using the speedy deletion criteria F8. It's time consuming, though. The uploader @AHMSAdbdelwa should be fixing up the information, instead of us. But some of their uploads may be useful. I would not blame an admin deleting all of their uploads. Bedivere (talk) 21:36, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Still haven't done the move, and I'm going to keep the speedy tags for now, I need to add the ajax quickdelete (www) rationale to VFC. Alachuckthebuck (talk) 21:44, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Government of India (PO)[edit]

I'm concerned about the user name. Their user page says "Hi This GoI PO". And although it appears most of their uploads are ok, the latest one, which I've nominated for deletion, is from X. Thanks. Doug Weller (talk) 13:30, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
