Most of the files were here, just a few were on Commons. He's got a final warning over there and I'm keeping track of uploads, so if there are any problems we can get him blocked; I don't think there's much else we can do. —SpacemanSpiff13:50, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake. I thought the uploads were commons DRs and not Pufs. A thousand pardons. I've been working on a few things at the same time lately and didn't pay close enough attention. Anyhow, understood. Nice to know those at commons are up to speed. I will stay on this. Many thanks. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:57, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's a mix of both, that's why the confusion. It's often difficult to keep track of these, it's just that I always look at both locations when there's copyvios in one and therefore find it. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff14:17, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Um, can you enlighten me? Rajeshbieee was apprently "previously Rajeshbiee" (which seems coherent, from the name), the latter being an account tagged as a sock of Gantlet... but both Gantlet and Rajeshbieee are active to this day (last 24hrs, say). What's up with that? Was the sock tag linking Gantlet and Rajeshbiee the mistake? It's a tag that YOU applied in March 2010 (so understandably a long time ago), but looking at your other edits around that time, I can't find an SPI, only you tagging Bubluonline, Vwpsoftware and Rajeshbiee as socks of Gantlet. It was pursuant to this thread, apprently. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉17:08, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Gantlet sock stuff was discussed here (YM was a CU at that time), but I just added the tag to a CU blocked account -- I didn't do the blocking. It could very well be that he just selected the first autofill option accidentally. Gantlet himself was only short term blocked for the socking, I don't think I followed this subsequently as I was just responding to some requests on it I think. —SpacemanSpiff17:23, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did not ask for that account to be checked, I don't think I knew about its existence even (it wasn't on my watchlist now which is why it took me a long time to link it to the new one) -- if you see the blocklog of the accounts YM had blocked the account as socks. This was usual at that time and very often Elockid or I would tag the socks after the blocks. —SpacemanSpiff17:32, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion every image this person has uploaded should be deleted, as he appears to be a pathological liar it is impossible to tell whether his claims are true or false, with some of them being almost literally unbelievable. 823510731 (talk) 12:12, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it was meant to be a comment on what I see his problem as, but I shouldn't attempt diagnosis here - I've changed it here and I'll change my comment in the deletion discussion too. Having said that, I stick by my suggestion that we cannot trust any of his claims about images. Is there anywhere I can see a log of his image uploads? 823510731 (talk) 12:26, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looking through that list of files, there are quite a lot more. It looks to me like he's been grabbing photos of people from the net and making a fair use claim when the actor is dead, and claiming he took the photo himself if they're still alive. I've nominated a few more now at Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2015 November 1, but this guy's uploads go back as far as 2010! Is there no better way than to go through them all and nominate every individual one? 823510731 (talk) 14:12, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you find the source images for any, you can tag them {{db-f9|url=URL}}. That's the reason it's taking long, I've been checking to see if some should be deleted as outright copyvios. —SpacemanSpiff14:16, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Anna Frodesiak and Salvidrim!: At this point the obfuscation has gotten really bad. I know you can't see this Anna, but Salvidrim! can see what I mean on VRTS ticket # 2014100910013282 via the history of the ticket as well as through VRTS ticket # 2015103010013963 and compare that to the recent comments at the Pufs and Ffds. I believe a mass delete as well as a block are now in order. Salvidrim!, if you don't get what I mean let me know and I'll either email you or post on your talk page at OTRS wiki with the explanation (I thought I've seen you on OTRS. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff04:42, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You can send me email if you like, but really no need. I totally trust your judgement. The amount of fishy stories is enough for me. I just do not trust any of his uploads. So, a block at commons seems right. But an editing block here? Sure, I'm no fan of fibbers, but a block is preventative. He creates non-copyvio text content and is not allowed to upload here. Is this what's best for Wikipedia? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:23, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The second ticket above is what's annoying me. Part of the problem can't be mentioned on wiki due to OTRS confidentiality rules, but I'll email you with some general info that won't violate the confidentiality rules. As for the text content, see the SPI that Salvidrim! linked above, there's now some sort of indication that this is part of some paid editing scenario, as I've checked sources in English and Tamil to see that the promotion on here just doesn't match reality -- there's a likely situation of socking now, and there was socking with the previous account. So that's another couple of cans of worms left to be opened. —SpacemanSpiff05:34, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I presume you've seen his comments at Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2015 November 1#File:RinilGowthampic.png and the Flickr link he's provided? As for his claim to be a film actor, someone called "RajeshB" does appear on IMDB and on an Indian crowd-source movie site, but I could find nothing on any RS (eg an official cast list from a studio). Anyway, I'll back off from this now as you obviously have more information than me, and it sounds like your investigation is going well - nice work! 823510731 (talk) 10:32, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Flickr account has been created today. Well, many who edit Indian film articles (outside of a select few) claim that, there should probably be another such thing a few sections above. Managing this copyvio farm has become an incredible waste of time. —SpacemanSpiff10:43, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's a new Flickr account that he says he's used to upload photos from his phone. Anyway, I don't think there's anything I can really do to help now, but if there is please feel free to give me a ping. 823510731 (talk) 10:58, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your "Revert" to Barkha Dutt's page has been challenged
Seems like you're her agent. Have some courage and take it straight!!! I have given a "valid" proof URL of whatever I've mentioned regarding her marriage and that page also has her tweets and other references!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amitverma (talk • contribs)
I haven't really read the article. A quick look gives me a feeling that it may be comprehensive enough for a GA. But there are factual inaccuracies. Why I brought this to your attention is the reviewer seems like a newbie (at that point in time). This was passed in a single shot. —Vensatry(Talk)16:36, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to know why should not we tag the actual awards in the people page who got the awards.You can very well see that all has the proper newspaper references.
I understand that you are a champ at wiki, but the articles that I tagged today are with the enough evidences which is no where a spam.I would humbly request you to check that and delete before you verify it properly.
Please note that not anything published in a newspaper deserves mention here. An award has to be notable. Anyone can give lifetime achievement awards, in fact in this case it is the inverse that is true -- the organization is catching on to the coattails of the people it gives awards to. And given that you have steadfastly refused to listen both in the past and in the present with respect to copyright violations and using Wikipedia as a platform for advertising, I'm not sure what help you want. If and when you decide to adhere to that, help will gladly be offered, but if you continue to violate policies you're likely to find your editing privileges revoked. —SpacemanSpiff17:13, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing as there's only one IP edit from the past two months has stuck, I've semi protected for a couple of weeks. Let's evaluate again after that if they come back to the article. —SpacemanSpiff17:10, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! THis is SWASTIK 25. Will you please explain me your problem regarding the pages which I created regarding cricket facts & statistics? They may be trivial but where lies the problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SWASTIK 25 (talk • contribs)
Seriously? You just delete the messages on your talk page, you refuse to participate in a discussion at WT:CRIC where you were invited and then go on to edit war, and now you want an explanation? But I'll bite. This is meant to be an encyclopaedia, it isn't a fan site, it isn't a blog. There are policies, guidelines, and conventions that that have been established or followed, aimed at providing value to the reader; your creations are outside of the boundaries of those. —SpacemanSpiff01:52, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
you denied my speedy deletion i tagged it due to poor sources since it was a biography. I will look at it the cetria again, (I may have of mistagged it) Thanks for the reply however
can you place a talk back on my page please when you reply please
Zppix (talk) 20:06, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That article isn't eligible for deletion, whatever policy criteria or method you choose. As for poor sources, have you read the included sources? Have you found any statements that can not be verified? —SpacemanSpiff20:10, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, SpacemanSpiff. You have new messages at Zppix's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Eh no, there were five nominations before you placed one today, but on the wrong page. That's the issue here. Consensus is evaluated after at least a week, except in some cases. —SpacemanSpiff20:48, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What's the issue with nominating twice? Its a good thing right? if the intention is to get them deleted. I have not seen your nominations on Nov1 & Nov2. You were the one who listed 15 templates in WikiProject talk page in the first place. Whats the issue now? Why do you want some templates removed from my list, which are nominated by you already a day or two before? Tfd clearly states that we can nominate multiple templates for deletion. Our intentions are to get them deleted. I see no problem there. If you want, you can change your vote to delete all..By the way, Thanks for your effort & response in WikiProject & Tfd as well. Chris8924 (talk) 04:58, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you're talking about people who frequent WT:CRIC then it won't be a problem as they understand the context. But TfD is project wide and any double nominations often result in "Speedy Keep" / "Speedy close" which will mean more effort as you'll then have to renominate them again. You can nominate multiples, but context matters.—SpacemanSpiff05:01, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Reverted my edit on nithya menen's wkipedia page
Sir I respect you may i know why my edit has been reverted back on nithya menen's wkipedia page as i added the image was 3rd party image but i gave the details of copy-right holder and the image is open source to use as per i know!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sourabh1996 (talk • contribs)
Well I'm really sorry for that, the reason i changed my account and using this because i just forgeted my password and was unable to reset it so at no time i created new account here, I'm really sorry again, and i know that wikipedia admins can track and block my ip for wikipedia and whatever changes or edits are done by me on wikipedia is in good manner not with any bad intentions the matter is just i don't know proper rules so did some silly mistakes!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sourabhanand96 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Multiple issues occured in a article.
SpacemanSpiff Sir, I extremly regret and sorry for the recent minor edits to the Nithya Menen celebrity page, the edits which i made was not intentionally to do , it was just my contributions to wikipedia, but this small edits made me in trouble by making 'Multiple Issues' for my own edits on Nithya Menen Celebrity Page, I Request you please solve those issues from your side, & i promise there will be no further problems or any edits from my side on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sourabhanand96 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm not. This is the problem with all the PR crap around India TV/film. This sock drawer was spamming hi, mr, wikiquote etc and then using those mirrors as sources on here. Just search on COIN for the investigation for that. I think the foundation should probably start locking accounts and deleting crap from cross-wiki ToU violations as office actions. I'd pinged Moonriddengirl on one of the COIN investigations, but this is becoming a nightmare and any crap like this that you take to AfD ends with gratuitous WP:SOFIXIT comments, maybe Mdennis (WMF) can look to some WMF process for ToU violations as this is related to editor retention. This is a serious waste of time and I think it maybe an option for editors to stop this paid editing clean up in this area. I really don't want to lose good editors over the fact that these agencies now think that Wikipedia is an easier avenue to do promotion of their projects than IMDB and others because of the low bar in community standards. Every time I block a sock, two more sprout and rather than do something meaningful with my time on wiki, I've been wasting it on these messes, but only because there are editors who are trying to work in this area and the sockfarms are disrupting their efforts. Also pinging Smartse and Brianhe as they have been involved in quite a bit of work in this area. —SpacemanSpiff06:41, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's very different in this area compared to caste. We do it very selectively there and it can catch the most problematic articles as a SPA there is confined to one or two articles and there are multiple such editors per article. Over here, the articles themselves are often new and there's no way to implement a 500/30, and even if you implement it on one, the promo characters can focus on their other projects and come back later. In the case of D.f4c3r it may have prevented the socks from editing Nithya Menen, but all the others would've been fair game for their promo activity. Besides, in this area there's also a huge collateral damage if something like 500-30 is implemented. Also, this area has two nuisance groups -- deranged fandom and paid PR, often the two are not distinguishable but deranged fandom isn't usually considered a problem on en.wiki (go back to my low community standards point), though if not for the ToU from WMF the community would not want to act against paid editing either, asking the few editors to fix the problems that they themselves can't be arsed to do anything about, but do not want any action as it would violate the open editing idea. —SpacemanSpiff08:31, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Whether you're a student or not is irrelevant. Your contributions here have to be checked as they are promotional in nature and don't necessarily pass notability criteria. —SpacemanSpiff05:09, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
