Problem

Hi dear INeverCry; Today one of users emailed me about an uploading problem, I had temporary solved it but I'm not sure about the main reason. I said maybe you could tell me about it more. Main uploader tried to upload This photo like what it is right now but photo had been changed! (Look at previous versions of photo) I thought it could be because of the format of the file(CMYK) but still I'm not sure. Do you know what was the problem? --Freshman404^Talk 17:07, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

That's pretty strange. I don't know what would cause that. If it happens again, you could ask at Commons:Help desk. INeverCry 20:10, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

No source/permission/license

I will no longer handle deletions from any of these categories. I consider this issue resolved. Thanks. INeverCry 23:20, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Nonsense. Cheers! --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 02:30, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

I read your statement I will no longer delete any of *these* images (paraphrase) to mean "They're already deleted, I won't have to delete them again". There's no reason at all to abstain from clearing the backlog in the no source/permission/license. I won't say nonsense like Hedwig, but balderdash. HUGS!

Checking a picture

Can you please check File:Stemmacalangianus.png? We received an OTRS request, but I am afraid that it's a logo and the customer is not the rightful owner of the rights. NB: it can be an amatorial team: in this case, the request can be legit, but out of scope. Thanks! --Ruthven (msg) 08:57, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

This is a shield-style 1905 football logo. It might actually be simple enough for PD-Textlogo. Let me know on the scope issue. INeverCry 20:07, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Mjrmtg

He's been creating a set of categories, "City halls in X" (where X is various U.S. states), which are of course synonymous to the established "Town halls in X" categories for the same states; some of these categories already existed, I've discovered, but he's been aggressively populating them by moving lots of files out of the Town halls categories. It's obviously not a matter of merely conforming to legal municipal statuses; in Idaho, where all municipalities are cities, he moved some, but not all, of the "Town halls in Idaho" contents to "City halls in Idaho", and I'm thoroughly unclear how he decided which ones to move, since there's no difference whatsoever between the ones he moved and the ones he didn't.

I've been restoring the established form, both putting the files back and deleting the duplicate categories, but he's recreated some of the categories and used rollback to repopulate the new categories. I warned him to stop, reminding him that all of these are subsets of the Category:Town halls tree that's covered the same topic as en:Seat of municipal government since 2004, and also reminding him that I'm enforcing the category tree and that I don't particularly care whether everything's at City or at Town, but stating that we can't be creating parallel trees. I don't know whether he's re-reverted me, since I've been working on a separate project and have no desire to go against en:WP:HOUND by following his every edit, but I'll guess that he did, based on his response to you.

I'm still wondering what me and my UDEL closes had to do with it. One of the strangest things I've seen in quite a while. INeverCry 02:10, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

"his response to you" I meant what he said after the block. I can't imagine how this is relevant to COM:UNDEL or to you. Nyttend (talk) 02:29, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

This is especially strange because I've been working alongside him for years at DR and he's always been very calm and stable. I see that he mentions Auntof6 at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#User:Nyttend. I don't know a more calm and mature editor here than she is. I've only blocked him for a day, but strange or not, I can't sit by and allow him to revert-war, especially at UDEL, where the image uploaders are often representatives of schools and companies and are confused enough as it is. I hope he sleeps on it and comes back his old self when the block is up tomorrow evening. INeverCry 02:52, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

What about Category:City halls? Should it go away too? --Ebyabe (talk) 03:26, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Drama

Can I remind you of your Commons:Administrators/Requests/INeverCry (readmin) where you promised to stay away from (and not create) drama, and concentrate on DR backlog. Instead, you have created an Admin page claiming A.Savin's block was "unfair" and have worked towards bypassing it with a fudge. The consensus is that the block is not unfair (though the length is debatable). And the consensus is that your suggestion of an interaction ban is also not acceptable. You cannot unilaterally unblock Livio because (a) you have not got consensus as required by policy and (b) you are the one in dispute with A.Savin so this looks like wheel warring.

Your comment "I don't know you too well Code, but A.Savin has had plenty of uncivil moments of his own. He once opposed a user's RFA simply because that user was German and active at de.wiki. Do you agree with that?" is an ad hominem personal attack on A.Savin. It is unrelated to our consideration of this block and simply an attempt to discredit him. I strongly advise you to strike those comments and apologise to A.Savin.

Please restore the block and leave it to others to decide if your complaint about the "unfair" block and you suggested solution, have any merit. Currently, they don't. -- Colin (talk) 08:23, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I've replied on AN. My intention has been to try to find a solution and help Livio change his behavior so he doesn't get blocked indefinitely. Maybe I've messed up here, but I really didn't mean it to turn out that way. I've probably been too impulsive and impatient in this situation. I do hope a solution can be found that allows Livio to stay at Commons. Almost 2:30 now, so I've really got to get to bed. My brain is shutting down on me. INeverCry 09:23, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Please re-block Livio at this time. Colin's assessment of the situation is accurate and fair. Nick (talk) 09:59, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
