User:Tian x-way

Unfortunately massive and repeated copyright violations over time, recent new violations, two previous blocks. --Wilfredor (talk) 11:59, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will never do that again Tian x-way (talk) 12:05, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I blocked the user for a year (3rd block). I'll delete some copyvios. Taivo (talk) 11:21, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I feel bad making these reports; the user seems to be uploading good photos. But I thought it was necessary. I received a private complaint from another user regarding this situation. Wilfredor (talk) 11:30, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Repeated vandalism by different IPs on File:Uppsala universitet logo.jpg

Hi, the file description page of File:Uppsala universitet logo.jpg got vandalized twice by two different IPs in the last eight days - maybe that's a case of a semi-protection? Thanks a lot! Fl.schmitt (talk) 12:00, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. One year semi-protection. Taivo (talk) 12:23, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
