User:Taivo

• User: Taivo (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads) block user
• Reasons for reporting: Vandalism

This user (User:Taivo) shamelessly invaded my pages I've created and vandalised photos and texts with references! I call on Administration attention to block this troll. Eventually, pages will be protected (locked) from any further of such kind "friendly" contributors. If user Taivo is a real Wikipedia contributor (which is hardly to say due to his profile information where he impersonates him/herself as a Wikipedia troll), he/she shoud've asked me in a personal message for more details on a photo or text information. We ask, Wikipedia Administration, to pay more attention on its contributors who not all of them contribute for the good of the website. Cyberfoxy6 (talk) 20:27, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

As you can see from talkpage of Cyberfoxy, I deleted a lot of his/her uploads. They were found on different external sites with earlier date and at least same size. Cyberfoxy gave wrong licenses. Some files I kept, because they were too old for copyright protection. I re-licensed, described and categorized them. Cyberfoxy re-uploaded some copyvios. Taivo (talk) 21:06, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

 Not done Bogus complaint against Taivo. Cyberfoxy6 blocked for uploading copyvios after final warning. Эlcobbola _talk 21:13, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

• User: 影山光頭王 (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads) block user
• Reasons for reporting: Not here to contribute, IMHO. The user uploaded images out of project scope or copyvio. This file was deleted as copyvio, this file after D.R.... The other pictures are this (I'm quite sure is a copyvio) and 3 UP images (1st, 2nd and 3rd), I suppose about him. They are unused in user space, quality is very poor, and I tagged 'em for speedy deletion (same reason of this DR). Unusable for the project scope. --Dэя-Бøяg 20:24, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

jdx ^Re: 12:20, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

 Info It seems to me like the user's attempts to fix some descriptions and categorization; not clear vandalisms. I do not see license removals among recent edits. If they still do something wrong, rather instructing the user than blocking is suggested. Ankry (talk) 15:13, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ankry: All files that the vandal edited were uploaded by Hung1505khta and it's clear (at lest to me) that the photos were taken by the same person – they look similar and were taken with the same smartphone. But the vandal for each of these 5 files replaced author's name with a random name: [1], [2], [3], [4] and [5]. Also s/he removed licence templates and changed source fields and dates. It's clear vandalism to me. Yes, later s/he calmed down, probably because s/he noticed my report here. I have strange feeling that her/his recent edits are also vandalism, but I can't prove it. BTW. The other issue is copyright status of these photos – they look like photos of pages from a book. But hey, COM:AGF. --jdx ^Re: 16:08, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

In the third diff, the source is switched to "internet"; in two others the uploader's username is replaced with usernames of non-existent accounts. This is disruptive/vandalism. He's on a dynamic IP, and probably gets a new IP every 24/36 hours judging by his editing so far which spans almost a full day. If the vandalism starts up under a second IP, a 3-day/1 week block of 1.53.176.0/20 might be necessary. For now I've filed Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Hung1505khta for the uploads.
