Self Block for Wikibreak

Seyamar (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) I need to take a wikibreak till 1 April 2025, since there is no wikibreak enforcer here, I would request an administrator to block my editing till 1 April 2025, (also 245CMR is the previous name of this account), Thanks, .245CMR.•👥📜 04:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Camiyabril

Please block Camiyabril for continuing to upload copyright violations in spite of multiple warnings. Take also a look at the archived discussions 1, 2, 3. There are pictures of soccer kits that are debatable, but also many copyright violations regarding portraits of soccer players, and the user doesn't stop. The most recent e.g. from Getty Images File:Abel Balbo - AS Roma 1995-96 (2).jpg [1] CennoxX (talk) 10:27, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting protection about File:Star full.svg

Requesting auto patrol protection for File:Syrian Civil War map.svg & File:Syrian opposition map November 2024.svg

Requesting protection on both of these files which have recently come under heavy edit warring. Any constructive edit by citing sources is instantly reverted on both these files. Multitude of users are changing how the control of this country should look like depending on their preference, without citing any source, what-so-ever. I believe auto patrol protection would stop the edit warring, and allow constructive editing, mainly citing sources, to take place.

Just to give an example on how ridiculous this file has gotten, it currently asserts that one of the Syrian rebel groups, RCA, controls 1/3rd of the country, even the capital Damascus. Despite the fact that this group has just 500 fighters. Ecrusized (talk) 11:03, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done @Ecrusized: I have protected both the files for one month after which the files will be automatically un-protected. As I don't have any interest in the subject, I won't be doing any accuracy checks on these files. Regards, Aafi (talk) 12:51, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:浪速丹治

Although receiving many copyvio deletions and one-month block, this user repeatedly uploaded the same copyvio toy doll's pictures; File:フランソワ彼女.jpg, File:フランソワ嬢.jpg, File:フランソワちゃん.jpg, File:フランソワ嬢.jpg and File:彼女.jpg. Netora (talk) 12:48, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done The block was for a week, now a month. Yann (talk) 13:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User RowanJ LP

RowanJ LP is edit warring, [2][3] and pushing for versions of the files that do not cite any sources, they also appear to be taking credit for other user's works like File:Syrian opposition map November 2024.svg. I suggest this user be temporarily blocked to stop their edit warring. Ecrusized (talk) 13:45, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're the one who isn't properly citing things either? As explained in my talk page, you're not doing things properly. RowanJ LP (talk) 13:50, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is also consensus on English Wikipedia that user RowanJ LP's edits should be reverted. But because of their edit warring, this has become impossible. Ecrusized (talk) 13:48, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed*, simple misunderstanding from my editing should be fixed according to consensus. RowanJ LP (talk) 13:51, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
