Edit kind: I was trying to update the map because Bhutan has graduated from LDC status.

ref: https://www.un.org/ldcportal/content/bhutan-graduation-status I've tried to upload the new version that I've made but the abuse filter won't let me because one, it thinks that it is a "Copy upload" and two, it also thinks that I am overwriting a file made by another person and I don't have the permission to do so even though User:Gabbe grants anyone the right to use this work "for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law."

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering why a minor cropping of this photo was not possible. If it should ever be necessary, I will try to apply for an exception. On the other hand, the uploader should have the right to keep his photo as it is. As an alternative, there is the option of uploading a cropped version with a different image name and naming the image source and author. If the filter should once again indicate that something is not possible, I will simply respect that and choose another way to create a cropped version.

If you made the images yourself, please upload the full-size originals of them per COM:HR, including EXIF metadata.

Documente completamente las fuentes y licencias de sus cargas de audio y solicite membresía en el grupo Autopatrol en COM:RFR cuando crea que está listo (una vez que haya realizado más de 500 ediciones útiles que no sean de bot); tener eso debería permitirle cargar archivos mp3.

Please don't do that, and request such membership at COM:RFR when you think you are ready (once you have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits); having that should allow you to overwrite. Instead of overwriting the uploads of others, please read MediaWiki:abusefilter-warning-file-overwriting, Commons:Village pump/Proposals/Archive/2023/08#Limit file overwriting to users with autopatrol rights, and COM:OW again. You may also request that a particular file be overwritable at COM:OWR. This particular file was originally uploaded on Commons by File Upload Bot (Magnus Manske). The process by which your "accounts were combined into one universal account for all wikis" was incomplete.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 02:00, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

@Mattew Hanuman: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload a png image as a new user. Such uploads of png images are not allowed at all. You indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a png image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including any metadata, but it may be judged too complex to be under TOO in the country of origin, so you may need to license it on your official website or social media or send permission via VRT. Also, any png image will look fuzzy when scaled down (due to design decisions discussed in phab:T192744) or jaggy when scaled up, so you may want to upload an svg or jpg version, too. If you can't get a compliant license, the image may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid filter 153. You have also triggered Special:AbuseFilter/175 by trying to upload a suspiciously large (200 × 238 pixels, file size: 3.25 MiB, MIME type: image/tiff) TIFF file as a new user and ​ another filter. Please clean it or make sure it has compression. If you can't get a compliant license, the file may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 10:22, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Edit kind: I was trying to upload 4 images from my own iNaturalist observation of purple-stemmed angelica. I think they illustrate the plant well and I wanted to add more images to articles about the plant that clearly show the purple stem sheath.

@MariahKRogers: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/289 by trying to put a link in a caption as a new or anonymous user and ​ another filter by trying to add one or more spam links to file description pages. Such additions are not allowed, please do not make them.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 10:37, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for replying. As it turns out after about 15 min the images I uploaded became available anyway, despite the filter acting like they had been blocked. I am reporting that in part because perhaps it indicates a problem with the filter actually blocking potentially spam/abusive/incorrect uploads as it is supposed to?

You can see what I uploaded here:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Angelica_atropurpurea_Purple-stemmed_Angelica.jpg
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Angelica_atropurpurea_Purple-stemmed_Angelica2.jpg
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Angelica_atropurpurea_Purple-stemmed_Angelica3_Stem.jpg
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Angelica_atropurpurea_Purple-stemmed_Angelica4_HollowStem.jpg

And you can see I was able to add them to the English Wikipedia article for Angelica atropurpurea in a gallery with other images.

I am assuming the main problem, besides this being my first time uploading an image to WikiMedia Commons, is that I included a link to the iNaturalist observation the images came from in the description and caption, and that was viewed as a spam link. Or perhaps, it is genuinely considered a spam link and I did not know. Would it have been better for me to say "iNaturalist observation #163992988"? Those numbers, when added to the end of an iNat/observation url lead to the observation, so it would represent appropriate attribution for the image, but would keep a live url link out of it.

Last night, after adding it to the article and seeing how incongruous the link looked in the caption, I took it out of all 4 of the listed captions on WikiMedia Commons. But I did leave it in the descriptions. I can change those to the iNat # instead if that's better.

To be clear, the images all became available last night before I fixed them by removing the iNaturalist links from the captions. Despite flagging them, the filter eventually seems to have let them through. MariahKRogers (talk) 19:25, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

@MariahKRogers "Captions" means two different things here. There is the text under the thumbnails on Wikipedia (which it appears you decided to remove), and then there is the SDC concept of Captions stored in a database here on Commons (which you were unable to add). Regarding that delay, please see COM:CACHE.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 01:45, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Ok I see(?) ...or I see enough to get that the filter functioned as expected/intended from your perspective. That it flagged what I did but then I suppose fixed it by itself and let me upload after the cache was purged. Or something like that. That's good. And my images uploaded in the end so from my perspective everything is good too. I suppose going forward I will still avoid putting links and instead make references to where things are from instead, unless otherwise prompted. Because I am still thinking the description text I put in that had links is what was part of I suppose generating the Caption (in your use of the term) that had a link in it. I don't really need to fully understand I hope as long as I can do my best to avoid setting it off again or causing other problems. Thank you. MariahKRogers (talk) 05:31, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Please stop responding to me with bot-like replies, the content of which is useless, as I do not know which rights I have. It suggests I did something wrong, which is not true. There is no "abuse" here. The reporting tool only has space for one filename. Why should I not file a report every time I think the filter gets is wrong, which is the intent of these reports? And why can I not mark my own files any way I wish? Why do I have to beg in some obscure group? Cush (talk) 14:48, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

For the Gondor map: I did not originally upload the file, and I did not put it into any category. It was imported from TolkienGateway. It is one of countless adaptations, and it should be overwritable by anyone. Although the Tolkien Estate maintains that adaptations are illegal, it is in no way established. I am well aware of the issue as I and a few others had dealing with the Tolkien Estate in 2004 over maps on the web. Cush (talk) 14:55, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

@Cush: You have no advanced rights here and have never had them per Special:UserRights/Cush, whereas you are a member of the extendedconfirmed group on enwiki and the autoreview group on dewiki. You tried to add {{Allow Overwriting}}, which is not allowed for people who aren't members of the Autopatrol group or higher (that is, with autopatrol rights).

Such uploads of png images are not allowed at all. The following applies to each image. You indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a png or smaller jpg image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including any metadata, but if you were not the original image designer or photographer, that person may need to license it on their official website or social media or send permission via VRT with a carbon copy to you. Also, any png image will look fuzzy when scaled down (due to design decisions discussed in phab:T192744) or jaggy when scaled up, so you may want to upload svg or jpg versions, too. If you can't get a compliant license, the image may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid filter 153. You also appear to have tried creating a non-gallery page in our mainspace, which we use for galleries. Special:AbuseFilter/122 worked as intended.

Esses uploads de arquivos PDF não são permitidos. O seguinte se aplica a cada arquivo: Normalmente, quando alguém carrega um arquivo PDF como um novo usuário, é uma violação de direitos autorais retirado da web ou fora do escopo. O que há no arquivo? Se você não foi o designer ou fotógrafo do arquivo original, essa pessoa ou essas pessoas podem precisar licenciá-lo em seu site oficial ou mídia social, ou enviar o arquivo e a permissão via VRT/pt com uma cópia carbono para você. Se você não conseguir obter uma licença compatível, o arquivo ainda poderá ser carregado na Wikipédia em inglês ou português em conformidade com en:WP:F ou pt:WP:URC. Além disso, você acionou Special:AbuseFilter/153 ao tentar fazer upload de uma imagem PDF entre wikis como um novo usuário. Esses uploads de imagens em PDF entre wikis não são permitidos de forma alguma.

@Dietmar Pauw and Meyra Dietmar: Hallo und herzlich willkommen. Es tut mir leid, Ihnen mitteilen zu müssen, dass Sie Special:AbuseFilter/245 ausgelöst haben, indem Sie versucht haben, eine Seite im Benutzerbereich zu bearbeiten, die nicht Ihrem Konto gehört, ohne automatisch überwacht zu werden.

@Parchokhalq: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/192 by trying to upload an mp3 file with insufficient rights. Too many people try to upload audio files that are still copyrighted by the authors, performers, recorders, publishing companies, etc. without proper licenses from those people. Please document fully the sources and licenses of your audio uploads, and request Autopatrol group membership at COM:RFR when you think you are ready (once you have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits); having that should allow you to upload mp3 files. In the meantime, thank you for reencoding audio into Vorbis or Opus and uploading it with full documentation as .ogg files.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:11, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@UFUKLIVE: I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/290. The proposal to "Limit file overwriting to users with autopatrol rights" was accepted with many supports and one weak oppose 15:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC). After an implementation problem in phab:T345896 and testing, Special:AbuseFilter/290 went live with the Disallow action 09:35, 28 October 2023 (UTC). Please read MediaWiki:abusefilter-warning-file-overwriting. You may request COM:AP at COM:RFR when you think you are ready (once you have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits); having that should allow you to overwrite. You may also request an exception for a particular file at COM:OWR. You have also triggered Special:AbuseFilter/27 by removing all categories from a file description page. Such edits by new and anonymous users are considered to be vandalism. In addition, you have tried to circumvent our Deletion Policy. As I wrote at COM:HD#Unofficial Logo Deletion Request 13:55, 30 January 2024 (UTC): "Are you willing to make that free enough for COM:L?" That question remains regarding the new link.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:04, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean. I was trying to copy everything in the .png page over to the new .svg page so viewers would see everything the original .png uploader wanted them to see.

Page name: User:Opcom (User:Opcom links: hist • logs • abuse log • en:User:Opcom)

Edit kind: I was trying to create the user web page for the images content. I am the same person who uploaded all that content (Opcom) a long time ago. The page let me create and edit it with my wikipeida login 'CRT Hobbyist', and gave me the abuse filter warning only when trying to finally publish the page.

I am not an expert on creating wikipedia or wikimedia content. As can be seen, the User:Opcom page I was trying to create using the correct/current name "CRT Hobbyist" is inline with my goals for the images uploaded long ago with the Opcom user account.

The intent of creating the user:opcom page was to provide a means of contacting me regarding any images previously uploaded, and to say something about the images. I had an account called 'Opcom' but have no password any more and the e-mail address used for that is long gone.

The word "Opcom" is also a 'reserved word' in random situations, and this has become troublesome since the internet has grown and applications have become more interconnected.

The reason given by the abuse filter is that "it is not usual for a user to edit someone else's user page". I understand that, but time and several e-mail addresses have passed since those pictures were contributed and I could find no other way to do it except with my current user:CRT Hobbyist account.

Comments: I suggest allowing the content as written, because the author of the images is me, the same human being - Patrick Jankowiak = CRT Hobbyist =(formerly) Opcom.

I believe that no policies have been violated and there is no commercial content. I sincerely appreciate your time, help, and advice. CRT Hobbyist (talk) 20:27, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

@CRT Hobbyist: Hi, and welcome. That user was renamed to "Opcom~commonswiki" in 2015 due to a conflict with the user on enwiki. If you had a user page, we could probably redirect to it.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 02:16, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I have not created a user:CRT Hobbyist page. Should I create it and then ask for the redirect? Just for my understanding of what I should do. CRT Hobbyist (talk) 07:03, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

@CRT Hobbyist: Yes, please. You forgot to ping me.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
