FlagIOC template

Hello! Can you sort out the historical flags on the FlagIOC template so they are right. The flags must match with the actual year that the competition was held. For instance the Hong Kong flag at the 1954 Asian Games and the Canadian flag at the 1924 Winter Olympics and also the Indian flag in 1934, Vietnam's flag in 1973 and Malaya's flag in 1961. Yours sincerely, Sondre 193.161.216.9 11:35, 10 Julai 2022 (UTC)

Deleting files again

Hi, how are you doing?

Some time ago you helped clear out files in Kategori:Calon untuk penghapusan segera. Perhaps you could check once more? Either delete of remove template if problem is fixed.

There are also a few files in Kategori:Semua fail Wikipedia dengan nama yang sama di Wikimedia Commons and Kategori:Semua fail Wikipedia dengan nama berbeza di Wikimedia Commons.

Most of the files in Khas:Imej_tak_digunakan are probably unfree and they should either be added to an article or deleted. Since there are so many I think it would be good if a few admins worked on it together. If you have a good place to talk to the other admins perhaps you could mention this? --MGA73 (bincang) 06:01, 18 Ogos 2022 (UTC)

X-wiki abuse by Yassaarr

Hi CyberTroopers, I'm a Commons CU contacting you because you appear to be an active admin with an understanding of English and I cannot locate an admin noticeboard here on ms.wiki. You've also seem to have had some interaction with this user (e.g., deletion of Hajah Dayang Normala Haji Awang Tambi). Yassaarr is a sockpuppeteer and serial copyright violator; they and their socks are blocked on both en.wiki on commons (see w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Yassaarr/Archive and c:Category:Sockpuppets of Yassaarr). They remain active on ms.wiki, where they are adding files uploaded by their socks that they know to be copyright violations. As one example:

• 10:51, 3 June 2022 - Yassaarr uploads a blantant copyvio, c:File:The State Unduk Ngadau (Harvest Queen) 2022.jpg
• 11:09, 3 June 2022 - Yassaarr adds it to Unduk Ngadau
• 09:12, 4 June 2022 - the image is deleted
• 21:37, 7 September 2022 - Yassaarr indefinitely blocked
• 04:07, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah (confirmed sock) recreates the image as c:File:Unduk Ngadau Winners 2022 2 (Cropped).jpg
• 04:14, 8 September 2022 - Yassaarr adds it to Unduk Ngadau

This addition of copyvios to ms.wiki through socking has happened many, many more times; as shorter examples:

• 21:37, 7 September 2022 - Yassaarr indefinitely blocked
• 03:44, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah (confirmed sock) created
• 04:47, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah uploads copyvio c:File:Dayang Normala Pengiran Tambi(Cropped).jpg, Yassaarr adds it to Dayang Normala Binti Haji Pengiran Tambi
• 04:56, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah uploads copyvio c:File:Jainab Ahmad (Cropped).jpg, Yassaarr adds it to Jainab Ahmad Ayid
• 05:09, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah uploads copyvio c:File:Wendy Wong (Cropped).jpg, Yassaarr adds it to Wendy Wong.

Per the above, although the files are uploaded by their sock at Commons, Yassaarr clearly knows them to be copyright violations when adding them here on ms.wiki, which seems to be local abuse and bad faith. Could you please take the appropraite action or point me to the proper venue for such a request? (I understand, for example, that "Seseorang pengguna boleh disekat jika perlu bagi melindungi hak, harta, ataupun keselamatan Yayasan Wikimedia, para pengguna, ataupun orang awam. Sekatan yang bertujuan untuk melindung mungkin perlu sebagai tindak balas terhadap: [...] Pelanggaran hak cipta berkali-kali" (WP:SEKAT)) Thanks, Эlcobbola _talk 15:33, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Also pinging @SNN95: who blocked sock account Hilleston here on ms.wiki and @PeaceSeekers: who has deleted inappropriate Yassarr creations (Hajah Juliana Binti Awang Tambi, Dayang Normaliza Binti Awang Tambi, etc.) Эlcobbola _talk 17:05, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

X-wiki abuse by Yassaarr

Hi CyberTroopers, I'm a Commons CU contacting you because you appear to be an active admin with an understanding of English and I cannot locate an admin noticeboard here on ms.wiki. You've also seem to have had some interaction with this user (e.g., deletion of Hajah Dayang Normala Haji Awang Tambi). Yassaarr is a sockpuppeteer and serial copyright violator; they and their socks are blocked on both en.wiki on commons (see w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Yassaarr/Archive and c:Category:Sockpuppets of Yassaarr). They remain active on ms.wiki, where they are adding files uploaded by their socks that they know to be copyright violations. As one example:

• 10:51, 3 June 2022 - Yassaarr uploads a blantant copyvio, c:File:The State Unduk Ngadau (Harvest Queen) 2022.jpg
• 11:09, 3 June 2022 - Yassaarr adds it to Unduk Ngadau
• 09:12, 4 June 2022 - the image is deleted
• 21:37, 7 September 2022 - Yassaarr indefinitely blocked
• 04:07, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah (confirmed sock) recreates the image as c:File:Unduk Ngadau Winners 2022 2 (Cropped).jpg
• 04:14, 8 September 2022 - Yassaarr adds it to Unduk Ngadau

This addition of copyvios to ms.wiki through socking has happened many, many more times; as shorter examples:

• 21:37, 7 September 2022 - Yassaarr indefinitely blocked
• 03:44, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah (confirmed sock) created
• 04:47, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah uploads copyvio c:File:Dayang Normala Pengiran Tambi(Cropped).jpg, Yassaarr adds it to Dayang Normala Binti Haji Pengiran Tambi
• 04:56, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah uploads copyvio c:File:Jainab Ahmad (Cropped).jpg, Yassaarr adds it to Jainab Ahmad Ayid
• 05:09, 8 September 2022 - Al-Aaflah uploads copyvio c:File:Wendy Wong (Cropped).jpg, Yassaarr adds it to Wendy Wong.

Per the above, although the files are uploaded by their sock at Commons, Yassaarr clearly knows them to be copyright violations when adding them here on ms.wiki, which seems to be local abuse and bad faith. Could you please take the appropraite action or point me to the proper venue for such a request? (I understand, for example, that "Seseorang pengguna boleh disekat jika perlu bagi melindungi hak, harta, ataupun keselamatan Yayasan Wikimedia, para pengguna, ataupun orang awam. Sekatan yang bertujuan untuk melindung mungkin perlu sebagai tindak balas terhadap: [...] Pelanggaran hak cipta berkali-kali" (WP:SEKAT)) Thanks, Эlcobbola _talk 15:33, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Also pinging @SNN95: who blocked sock account Hilleston here on ms.wiki and @PeaceSeekers: who has deleted inappropriate Yassarr creations (Hajah Juliana Binti Awang Tambi, Dayang Normaliza Binti Awang Tambi, etc.) Эlcobbola _talk 17:05, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: Thanks for the info, I'll look into it ASAP. - CyberTroopers ^bincang/_sumbangan 06:23, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Templat:FlagIOC

Hello! Can you do something regarding the FlagIOC template and the historical flag placed in there for example Canada's flag at the 1924 Winter Olympics and the Hong Kong flag at the 1954 Asian Games. The template has been like that a while now. I think it has something to do with the old flag templates which are there. I think they must be deleted because English Wikipedia don't use them anymore. Yours sincerely, Sondre 88.88.4.178 20:07, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

I did open a ticket about it but none can solve it so far. I guess, I will have to pass it to the people in the Meta. BTW would deleting it solve the problem, because the template is linked to a lot of articles? - CyberTroopers ^bincang/_sumbangan 18:20, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I think you should do with this template like what the user did with the Indonesian template maybe translating the usage fields and also doing something with the malaysian module and also use FlagIOC as a shortcut e.g. FlagIOC|CAN|1924 Winter}} something in that direction. 88.88.4.178 14:44, 12 Oktober 2022 (UTC)
