Albedo blocking
I've blocking without waring, and a term is 1 year. I seem, that admin provided blocking did not answered me and it's a very coarse punishment. Please unblck or consider more reasonable blocking Albedo (talk) 15:40, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
- More info at Special:Log/block?page=User:Albedo; other than this edit summary, I couldn’t find any conclusive discussion, consensus, nor decision. @Ahonc: Where is it?
- For the record, I agree that a one-year block is extremely harsh and serves no useful purpose — and I say this as someone who had many (many!) reasons to deplore Albedo’s categorization habits. Indef block for vandals and trolls, 24h blocks to cool off hotheads, and anything in between is more punitive than preventive. If Albedo cannot really be trusted with the rename/more ability, then remove it and let Albedo do the rest of his work unperturbed.
- -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:00, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
I was informed by user:Kharkivian that Albedo makes unconsensus renamings. After checking his contributions I confirm that. He already has warnings on this userpage [1], but he ignored it. Examples of wrong namings: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11] and hundreds (many!) more (and I should spend a lot of time to revert to correct names). Such namings are original researches by Albedo and there are no rules for such renamings.--Anatoliy (talk) 15:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- So the worst examples of bad cat renaming you could find in this user’s edit history is his insistence about romanizing cyrillic "ї" as "ï"…?! I’m no fan of Albedo’s work, but this cannot be right. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 16:00, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- See the user's talk page. Sneeuwschaap (talk) 20:53, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
And see also Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems/Archive 101#Non-consensus renaming User:Albedo.--Anatoliy (talk) 14:18, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- I'd support the block. The user makes lots of wrong/controversial edits regarding categorization, provides no reasoning and shows no interest in correcting even obvious his mistakes. Sneeuwschaap (talk) 01:42, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- you're biased and not admin. Your wishes to correction fulfilled Albedo (talk) 09:20, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- I Support blocking for the reasons above, plus the above personal attack posted at 09:20. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:41, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- "Your wishes to correction fulfilled" - yes, fulfilled. By me. Sneeuwschaap (talk) 20:47, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

Matlin
- User: Matlin (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)
- Reasons for reporting: Continued copyvio uploading after two final warnings for doing so. Extensive block history. Considered {{Fcs}} to be spam per this edit.
— 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 06:43, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- They are apparently dedicated to mass-uploading files from Flickr and, inevitably, they commit some mistakes while doing so, uploading free licensed files which are derivative works of ...some other works not made by the Flickr account owner. Is the percentage of wrong-licensed files at source really unacceptable? They could do better categorization, though. Strakhov (talk) 12:34, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Done Blocked. The block history is rather "appealing". Matlin also uploaded a large number of out of scope images. And the answer to warnings is not constructive. So a clear change of behaviour is needed to continue working here. Yann (talk) 20:26, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Second chance for Walden69
Walden69 has got an indefinite block since 2008. It's still an active editor in Catalan Wikipedia (around 430k contributions). It was blocked in Commons for "Uploading files without source/licensing after warnings". I understand your reasons, but I think that his user experience has improved. It's an autopatrolled user in Catalan Wikipedia and I think that Wikimedia Commons could give him a second chance. KRLS (talk) 12:12, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- If they are interested in contributing to Commons, they may ask their account to be unblocked in their talkpage, as explained here: Commons:Blocking_policy#Appealing_a_block. Strakhov (talk) 12:20, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
