Block request for User:Cenasone
Cenasone (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) An account solely for the purpose of vandalism on the File:Male Human body.png page. All the best - Chuck Talk 03:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

MarcBgd
MarcBgd (talk · contribs) is already blocked on en wiki for repeated copyright violations. There are multiple warnings on the user's commons talk page. They apparently do not understand copyright and so unfortunately should be blocked to prevent further infringement. Celia Homeford (talk) 08:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done. One week block. Taivo (talk) 09:38, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

User:Corbetts
Corbetts (talk · contribs) has continue to upload images without compatible licenses despite being warned. They've been cropping images to disguise the true source as well as using screen caps from videos. From their image focus, this is very likely to be a Vanderpumpstan (talk · contribs) sock, but with their continued upload of copyrighted image, I'm asking for them to be blocked and an admin to take a look at some of their uploads (and history of deleted uploads). Thank you. Ravensfire (talk) 14:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done Indef., almost everything's deleted. Yann (talk) 14:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank ya! Ravensfire (talk) 17:14, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Please protect this file due to excessive vandalism. Johnj1995 (talk) 18:40, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Feature image of the day (protected)
Hello all,
Today's feature image description is only available in 3 languages. Commons is a global project. We are in 2024, for such a short text, automatic translation do an excellent job to increase global accessibility of our content. I checked the French one it's excellent. Please add the following to today's feature image.
Yug (talk) 09:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- But in my opinion Russian translation is not enough good. I cannot evaluate another translations. Taivo (talk) 10:57, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
User:Jesse Daniel Brown 1980
Jesse Daniel Brown (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) was blocked for incessant self-promotion (also on en.wiki). Then Jesse Daniel Brown 1980 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) was created with much the same content and issues, and should be blocked as an obvious sock. User is also editing with the same ill intent at pt.wiki (under username pt:User:Arts en fios, but I am not sufficiently versed in Portuguese to address the issue there. WikiDan61 (talk) 12:32, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Seyed Ayeh (talk · contribs)
This user seems to be the sockpuppet of blocked Seyed haji (talk · contribs). Very similar name, same pattern of naming files and quality deduction, same topic of interest. HeminKurdistan (talk) 15:05, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Done? I blocked the user and deleted a lot of uploads as derivative works. Taivo (talk) 12:24, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
