Block request for Mahmud ale

Mahmud ale (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) 

After the final warning, Mahmud ale has inappropriately uploaded yet another copyrighted image and presented it as their original work.

Lower or remove protection on File:Flag_of_Palestine.svg

The edit warring seems to have died down and it does not seem as if it will ruin everything, simply by unlocking it.

It should be fine to at least lower it.

Kxeon (talk) 14:13, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yann: I think we could probably lower it to autopatroller. Abzeronow (talk) 16:52, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd agree with that Bedivere (talk) 17:10, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done Reduced protection to autoconfirmed. I would raise it again if disruption starts again. Yann (talk) 19:44, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added to my watchlist. Abzeronow (talk) 19:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious sock of Soladoye Kerimot (talk · contribs); uploading the same repeatedly-deleted file as previous socks. See history of File:Adewale Olalekan.jpg. Marbletan (talk) 16:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to protect File:Flag_of_the_Chinese_Communist_Party_(Pre-1996).svg and File:Second_War_Flag_of_Chinese_Soviet_Republic.svg

A disruptive user, NorthTension keeps forcing files, especially these two files to have standardized colors despite at the time it not being such colors. He keeps citing the reasons that he does so to be "colors, the PRC flag has been standardized to this specific shade so it stands within reason that everything else derived from it should be this color too as it is on wikimedia", which doesn't count for making flags non-historical, plus it's stupid because he knows those standardized colors only exist from 2022, which is like around 80 to 90 years after these flags were originally adopted! Wheatley2 (talk) 05:32, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Holy shit are you serious dude? I literally havent touched either file since May 5th and May 11th respectively, and then you come onto my profile to annoy me about this, and when I give you an answer and tell you to knock it off you do this? NorthTension (talk) 06:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I call it extra measures. Wheatley2 (talk) 06:29, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you make this post on my talkpage anyways? I don't care that you deleted it you very clearly have some kind of personal issue with me that you've decided to escalate to the Noticeboard for some reason I can't fathom. NorthTension (talk) 06:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Man get over it I say it's over so say it's over as well (because it is) Wheatley2 (talk) 06:56, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Plus I did remove that thing because I changed my mind. I just did this to ensure no supporter of you does it again Wheatley2 (talk) 06:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And your last "reply" read "Print =/= digital". What does that even mean? Wheatley2 (talk) 06:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
