Blacklist this Flickr account Erdonzello

Dear Admins,

Can someone please place this Erdonzello flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/people/193751847@N03/ on a blacklist. It is just full of FLICKRwashing images (from its first to almost the last page) WHICH ARE FREELY LICENSED and I have had to launch two Deletion Requests on it.

Please see This DR and This DR Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 22:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done - I've addressed those DRs and added 193751847@N03 to COM:QFI. Please note, however, that this list does not work the way you appear to think it does ("Right now, anyone can pass images from this flickr account if they wanted to...which is crazy"). All this list does is prevent Flickrreviewbot from automatically reviewing images; the bot instead tags the image for manual review. That "anyone can pass images from this flickr account" will always be true (where "anyone" means license reviewer or admin) regardless of whether a Flickr account is on the list or not.

Tag creation request

In the past, I have requested creation of specific tags for each OpenRefine minor version: openrefine-3.7, openrefine-3.8 and so on. It's probably not so useful to have such a granularity so I would request the creation of the (hopefully last) tag: openrefine, which would be used by all future OpenRefine versions (>= 3.9). Would an admin be able to create it? Thank you! − Pintoch (talk) 13:24, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright image uploaded as PD

File:Soumitrisha Kundu signature.jpg is uploaded from facebook (Meta) per https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054946043881 and falsely tagged as Public Domain (PD). Please remove it per Wikipedia Commons rules. Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 19:14, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It will likely be removed when 7 days have passed since the DR was started. Removal is not urgent (you are correct in that signatures are protected in India and this is from a living person). Abzeronow (talk) 19:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This file has just been created, however it is apparently copyrighted. As I don't have much anti-vandalism experience, could someone please help me deal with this? Thank you! 2003 LN6 18:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2003 LN6: Hi, What's your evidence? The uploader name is Marcel, and I don't see any copy on the Internet. Yann (talk) 19:04, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is labeled as copyrighted, so it should not be uploaded here. 2003 LN6 19:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Massive backlog in User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands/Category moves

The semi-automatic category move function on CommonsDelinker had been really congested by pending requests since 2023, and even without reviewing the whopping number of mass category move requests (currently 19), the number of standalone requests are also high.

I would be grateful if some admin can look through the problem and at least approve some of the less controversial ones. Many thanks.廣九直通車 (talk) 07:29, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Boulder dedicated to Jonathan Baldwin Turner's speech at the 1851 Granville Convention.jpg

Hi! I have been directed from VRT to ask an admin/license reviewer to double check the license status of File:Boulder dedicated to Jonathan Baldwin Turner's speech at the 1851 Granville Convention.jpg (I had originally forwarded an email with permission to VRT, but that was rendered moot because the website updated the license). Would someone be able to do a quick license review ? Thanks, HouseBlaster (talk) 01:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
