Vandalism (User:Ebonelm), deleting our maps from different articles

Hello, we are having problem with User:Ebonelm who is deleting our maps that was specially created for Wikipedia. Here is a Ticket#2016111010015085 that proves our ownership. We also plan to make maps for main part of cities of Wikipedia.

And here are the sources of all maps we have uploaded: http://vectormap.info/free_vector_maps_downloads/davie-florida-us-free-vector-map-adobe-illustrator/

And others...

Pelase, block this user, and thanks a lot!


And here is another vandal deleting our maps. This user (Jc86035) deletes our printable maps of Guangzhou, China.

Source (on our website, please also see Ticket#2016111010015085): http://vectormap.info/free_vector_maps_downloads/guangzhou-china-free-printable-svg-map-in-english/ And thanx a lot)

What shall we do? We are going to make maps for just all cities Wikipedia has, but if anybody can delete it whenever he wants... it would be impossible. Hope ypu understand it. Att.

@Ilya Shrayber: The very reason other contributors are removing your maps from the articles is that you add the source link of the map in the reference section which is considered an act of self-propaganda, in other words, matches the descriptions of our WP:conflict of interest editing guideline. If one wants to know the source of the map, they can click into the image description page. The presence of the external link which isn't part of the citation in the actual article is not acceptable. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 01:13, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Ok, understood now, and thanx a lot. So, if we don`t put any links (no problem with that), how can we obtain something like a green light for imrpoving the articles with our maps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilya Shrayber (talk • contribs) 18:10, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ilya Shrayber: Please sign after your message in any talk page with four tildes ~~~~. This is a very standard Wiki custom you should follow after being told to do so. It seems that your maps have other copyright issues as mentioned by user:Jc86035 that they are actually exported directly from Openstreetmap and your affiliated website is selling them without adhering to the requirements of Openstreetmap's either Open Database License or Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license. In such case, the usage of your maps in any article, even they're currently licensed under the seemingly compatible CC-BY-SA 4.0 license, is dubious. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 04:14, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Hello, "seems" and "is" - are different things, that`s what Mr Jc86035 doesn`t understand. We also talked to OpenStreetMap, and there are no problem, so yes, we will change the license and post it again. Thank you very much for your advices. Att. Ilya Shrayber.

82.132.1.7

This IP address 82.132.1.7 has made one vandalism to Wikipedia. I warned the user and looked up the IP under whois and found that it is a shared IP possibly, from a company. I would like to request an indefinite or substantial time period block be placed on this IP. If they want to edit they should have to make an account.

We don't block accounts for one edit, let alone IPs that are likely shared. If a pattern develops, feel free to report on the board. Parsecboy (talk) 16:09, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
