Ban Warning
[edit]Is there a particular reason I'm being threatened with a commons ban two and a half years since my last (questionably) copyright-violating image deletion? I won't deny that I am fallible/not a copyright expert, but I wasn't aware that 2 minor infractions and 2 cases I didn't feel like arguing out of over 200 valid uploads was grounds for being banned without warning. -Blervis (talk) 01:23, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
- @User:Blervis: Perhaps {{Fcs}} would be more to your liking. I thought the disappearance of five of your previous unfree uploads would have been sufficient warning about a potential block. Sorry for the delay. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:35, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
Your message
[edit]I have been a wikipedian for almost 20 years and I made almost half a million edits, but yours is the first time I meet someone who threats me with a ban for mistaking a procedure because "Warning: such edits are not tolerated and have led to account blocks, as "We cannot work here with people who are not willing to follow our procedures, in particular for deletion requests.". I don't know who the "you" are and why you think "you cannot work" with whomever "does not follow your procedures". What I know is that we wikipedians follow the rule of "always assume good faith" and help each other in case of mistakes. Also, if a procedure proves too complicate to follow and people get mistaken with it, the solution was always finding a way to make the procedure simpler, not to ban people to refuse to follow your intimations. If you want professional work, simply pay people for a professional performance. Had I been a novice, your attitude could had simply discouraged me. Please don't repeat your threats. Ban is the extreme measure for proved vandals, not the way to show your attitude in front of other people's mistakes. Thank you. My best wishes. User:G.dallorto (talk) 10:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- User:G.dallorto: I'm sorry you feel that way. For years, I have been railing against incomplete deletion requests, which are caused by malformed use of {{Delete}} templates and lack of follow-through, and which are populating subcats of Category:Incomplete deletion requests. This problem spurred the creation of that category 17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC), over 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over three years ago. ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page" pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 34#Alex Neman, so blockage is a very real possibility. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:46, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
