Unexpected speedy deletion by User:Ellin Beltz[edit]
Since the user's talk page is protected from editing, I'm asking here: what was the sudden reason for a speedy deletion of a file File:Черненко Константин Устинович, партийный билет.jpg while it's recently survived a regular deletion: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Черненко Константин Устинович, партийный билет.jpg and has been kept by User:Yann? 188.123.231.6 18:42, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- I undeleted this file. A regular deletion is needed here if there is any issue. Yann (talk) 20:59, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yann, thank you very much for prompt action. Ellin Beltz, making mass speedy deletions without looking at validity of nominations, you force other users to do a lot of unnecessary work: [1]. --188.123.231.6 21:38, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- I would be happy to reply to a person, but yes my user page is locked to non-logged in users. I am unaware of "a lot of unnecessary work" in my years of volunteering here. Thank you, Yann. Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:36, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Ellin Beltz: You as an admin should try to ensure that anons who genuinely need to contact you on your talk page can do so. Such could be having a dedicated IP talk page or directing them to Meta. Fully cutting anons from communication is short-sighted at best, and might come across as an attempt to cut off communication, even though it isn't your intent to do so. --SHB2000 (talk) 05:59, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- SHB2000, it is an attempt to cut off communication, you can see this from an arrogant response without any attempt at an apology to an indication of clear admin's abuse. --188.123.231.6 06:47, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- I’m vehemently on Ellin’s side on this one. Unlogged users have no place in a long term collaborative project. Any genuine begginer just toe-dipping should consider creating an account before needing to contact someone’s talk page. There is no safety or security advantage in editing as an I.P. instead of a logged-in user. And in cases such as this one, when the I.P. knows the inner workings of the project, it’s a deliberate spanner in the works. These users should not only be ignored as such, but their exposed I.P. address be given a check and the delinquent username behind it should be sanctioned for abuse of multiple accounts. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:37, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

User:ViktoriDiana created a personal page and placed an advertisement for the sportswear brand XTENNISX on it. Peter Porai-Koshits (talk) 14:10, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Done In future all you have to do is tag it for speedy deletion - {{SD|U5}} Gbawden (talk) 15:16, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
Grammar5555 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) Persistent blatant copyright violations. For example, user uploaded photos of Gleb Danilov four times after deletions, the last one: File:Gleb Danilov.jpg is more sophisticated one - deliberate flickrwashing via single-upload flickr account created just before uploading on Commons. 188.123.231.6 06:56, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not done No recent activity - last contribution was 28 Nov 2022 - a warning should suffice Gbawden (talk) 12:42, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Wrg6jcstbwtcu (talk · contribs) is back after having been blocked « with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked - overwriting files after warnings) » and continues to modify (= alter, degrade, overwrite) coat of arms images without warning and without purpose.
Only speaks japanese & never answers on tp
Canceling his uploads has no effect on his behaviour
Kontributor 2K (talk) 07:21, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Done Account indef'd as this is exactly the behaviour that led to the previous block, see also previous discussion at this board. --AFBorchert (talk) 07:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
Cahue Mesquita Pereira[edit]
Cahue Mesquita Pereira (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) . Editor was warned twice about uploading copyvio images, but they keep doing it. Kacamata! Dimmi!!! 20:30, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Done: Thanks for reporting this! I've blocked them for a week. --AFBorchert (talk) 21:52, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Tu investigador[edit]
Tu investigador (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) has been repeatedly uploading files with copyvio, despite the warnings on his talk page. --Ovruni (talk) 18:43, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Username policy issue[edit]
Prickster (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) , for an offensive username, no contributions in scope, and appears to be trolling. Elizium23 (talk) 14:40, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Dr. ResnickIgwe[edit]
Please block Dr. ResnickIgwe (talk · contribs), very likely a sockpuppet of Noel Tchallagassou. It's him in the sole picture he uploaded. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 17:19, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
