@Jeff G.: Dude, with all due respect, how about chilling out and responding in good faith to a good faith WMF editor who uploads images from time to time and occasionally helps out when noticing images that probably should be deleted. Note that you have posted on my talk page about some images I didn't upload e.g., File:Aboriginal art.jpg, File:FileːIndigenousFramework.jpg etc. You're trying to do the right thing (thank-you). I'm trying to do this right thing. Let's cooperate . Someone could feel harassed by this sort of behaviour. Happy to discuss if you have outstanding concerns. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk 07:21, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jtneill: I was chilled out when I noticed this edit and wrote to you about it 21:50, 12 November 2021 (UTC). I was not so chilled out when I noticed this second edit and updated what I wrote a week later, 22:07, 19 November 2021 (UTC), and then I noticed this third edit and warned you, 11:03, 3 October 2022 (UTC). The edit of yours on 04:38, 18 October 2023 (UTC) which I wrote about above later that day was your fourth offending edit. How many chances should I have given you? 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 16 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), over two years ago.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:01, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. A few innocent technical mistakes from a long-term good faith WMF editor gets you riled? I am trying to contribute, engage, and learn. You are welcome to join this journey. You have some know-how about how Commons works. Fantastic. Perhaps try sharing that knowledge with a little grace and maybe it will elicit some more cooperative responses and happier results. If someone feels harassed by another user on this wiki, what action should they take? -- Jtneill - Talk 12:00, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The user uploads images via Flickr license laundering and impersonation of the person depicted in the images (see accounts on Flickr: Caylee Cowan and Casey Affleck) The user has now created an account in order to impersonate a photographer (Jon Kopaloff). See the exact same edited files File:Catherine Caylee Cowan 2023.jpg (uploaded by Blakejenning) and File:Caylee Cowan Headshot 2023.jpg (uploaded by JonKopaloff). nicolas _{talkpage★★★} 19:02, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
