Block of Amin hannibal (2)[edit]

I am following up on my initial request addressed by De728631 since Amin hannibal has made new copyrighted uploads despite a final copyvio warning has been issued by Jeff G.. Moumou82 (talk) 08:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do Wikipedia users get notices about warnings at Commons? All the user's contributions are cross-wiki uploads (from en-wp, although all their edit summaries seem to be in Arabic). –LPfi (talk) 09:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked for 3 days. As part of the unified login process, users do get notices across Wikimedia whenever their user talk page gets edited at another project like Commons vs. Wikipedia or Wikidata. De728631 (talk) 10:16, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@De728631 and LPfi: They will get those notices unless they uncheck checkboxes "Edit to my user talk page" here in the "Notify me about these events" section of Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo or uncheck checkbox "Show notifications from other wikis" in the "Cross-wiki notifications" section of that page on each wiki they usually visit. Those checkboxes appear to default to checked, but mw:Extension:Echo does not mention such.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 11:09, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please, could you delete a category page created by mistake ? : category:Leaves illustration Stefdn (talk) 12:22, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute regarding file: Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg[edit]

  • There is a user named "Aziz bm" that is reverting 1 of 2 versions of the current Saudi Arabian flag. The version I am referring to [1] is seen in all governmental settings and used in public and daily life in Saudi Arabia. The main point I am trying to convey is that the user is creating a duplicate file by changing the version of the 1st version of the flag, which is not acceptable. I do not want to continue this edit war with this individual with the fear that nothing constructive will occur, so I came here to report this problem.
  • Both versions have a minor text difference.
  • Vexilla Mundi's flag construction sheet is used to show the Saudi Arabian flag, and it uses the version I am arguing for.
  • A user by the name of "Zyido" perfectly describes this issue in a discussion area on File talk:Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg named "Correct Version of the Flag", and he recommended making, "both flags to appear on the Wikipedia page as alternatives/variants in some way once we decide which one is the "main" one.", which I totally agree with.
  • I recommend to the administrators reading this to go to the page File talk:Flag of Saudi Arabia.svg and navigate to the section "Correct Version of the Flag", which accurately describes the issue. Thank you very much. Xpërt3 (talk) 04:32, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel request[edit]

Various libelous edits on this page. – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 11:44, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Deleted the revision. Kind regards, — Tulsi Bhagat [ contribs | talk ] 11:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Tulsi Bhagat: Could also block the IP as an open proxy/VPN, 99% sure. – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 11:52, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
IP is ceased and that edit was made on 16 March 2022, so I think blocking is not worth it. — Tulsi Bhagat [ contribs | talk ] 06:57, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading a new version to get around a svg bug[edit]

Hi all, the File:Flag of Arkansas.svg is not rendering correctly due to phab:T276684. I raised the issue at en:Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Flag of Arkansas.svg rendering inappropriately, and User:Anomie has fixed the issue and uploaded a working replacement svg at testwiki:File:Flag of Arkansas fixed.svg. I request an administrator to upload that file in place of current File:Flag of Arkansas.svg to fix the rendering issues on hundreds of pages using that image. Anomie couldn't upload it as uploading is restricted only to admins on that file. Thanks! —‍CX Zoom (A/अ/অ) (let's talk|contribs) 20:38, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. I lowered protection level against upload to semi-protection. Please upload new versions. Taivo (talk) 08:07, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Another user appears to have uploaded a new version soon after removal of protection, so that now the image is fixed and free from bug. Thanks again! —‍CX Zoom (A/अ/অ) (let's talk|contribs) 10:27, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
