Block request for Theresadayog and their socks

Sahaib, battleground mentality, and edit warring

I believe we discussed a zillion of times that categories "Foo country in april 2023" "Foo country photographs taken on 2048-13-64" should not be further split in subcategories. User Sahaib apparently was unaware of this, and started mass-moving, which I found because they moved my file File:Perth Municipal Buildings seen from Tay Street.jpg, I reverted them and tried to explain, first in edit summaries, and then at their talk page, see User talk:Sahaib#May 2024, that no consensus that it is ok to split the categories, exists, and it is up to them to either find one of many discussions or ask a question at the Village Pump. They were not interested in listening and continued edit-warring. (Note that I uploaded about 30 files taken in Scotland on that day, and several hundreds taken in Scotland that week, but they have only been edit-warring moving one of them). Something needs to be done about this. Ymblanter (talk) 19:19, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ymblanter: I have been a very active contributor to Wikicommons for almost 4 years with almost 200,000 edits and so would not like to be blocked. I disagree with Ymblanter and I feel I discussed it rationality on my talk page. I apologise if I reverted too much. Sahaib (talk) 19:25, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
