User talk:Dmitry Rozhkov

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Dmitry Rozhkov!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Blocked Indefinitely

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing Commons. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may add {{Unblock}} below this message explaining clearly why you should be unblocked.

Так как ваш новый ресурс использует ворованный контент не только с Википедии, но и с Викисклада (в форме иллюстраций к тамошним "статьям" без должного соблюдения условий указания авторства и лицензии), то теперь вы, по утрате всякого доверия сообщества, заблокированы и на Викискладе. --A.Savin 15:38, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

• A.Savin, техническая ошибка исправлена. Предлагаю снять блокировку. --Dmitry Rozhkov (talk) 19:29, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Unblock request declined This blocked user asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without discussion. Request reason: "The technical error that caused the blocking (by the way, imposed with a number of serious violations) has been eliminated. Please unblock my account. --Dmitry Rozhkov (talk) 21:56, 12 July 2023 (UTC)" Decline reason: "Yesterday I read couple of hours circumstances of blocks of DrBug and Dmitry Rozhkov and I am now convinced, that the block is appropriate. PereslavlFoto said about ru.ruwiki.ru: "As soon as noone knows about the goals, we cannot discuss this." Well, I know. Yes, I know the goals of ruwiki.ru. Russian government prepares to censure Russian-language Wikipedia and whole Wikimedia movement in Russia and prepares own censored version of Wikipedia. Block of Dmitry Rozhkov is necessary not as punishment, but for protecting Commons and whole Wikimedia movement from government of Russia. Taivo (talk) 10:44, 14 July 2023 (UTC)" Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired.

•  Oppose any unblock or shortening.

  1) Dmitry Rozhkov, as well as Drbug, has been blocked by me as creator of so-called "Ruwiki", a Russian pro-Putin Wikipedia fork with all user interface and written contents cloned from Russian Wikipedia, and without any claim of a Neutral point of view.

  2) Already the name "Ruwiki" is actually stolen from the Wikimedia movement, as "Ruwiki" is actually a widely spoken Russian short-name of Russian Wikipedia.

  3) Wrt this, both users already have been indefinitely blocked on Russian Wikipedia [1] [2], which seem to have obtained a stable community consensus as of now.

  4) Apart from the "Ruwiki" itself, probably in order to use pictures for stolen Wikipedia articles, they launched similar Commons fork with media contents from Commons, stolen Main page and stolen user interface, even stolen name: "Ruwiki Commons".

  5) Originally the pictures and other media files were without any proper attribution whatsoever. The "technical error [...] eliminated", as referred to by Dmitry Rozhkov, probably means that most images now have a description 1:1 imported from Commons, while originally there were only references to Russian Wikipedia (regardless the fact that the uttermost images never were uploaded there and never had a revision history there).

  6) Despite fixing the cloned descriptions, however, many images are still displayed in violation of Free Licenses -- see, for example, the current POTD. Apart from this, I don't think it's in accordance with Free License terms either that there are no links to original file descriptions, and all links to userpages of photographers are non-existing local "Ruwiki" links. Which provides the absolutely wrong impression that the images were uploaded on "Ruwiki" by their photographers from the beginning, instead of having been imported from Commons.

  7) Given this standalone, I don't think Dmitry Rozhkov and Drbug may anymore be considered legitimate members of Commons' community and COM:AGF may still be applied to them. Their goals are neither adding content to Wikimedia projects, nor productively cooperating within Wikimedia projects in any other way. We can probably only speculate what exactly their (personal) goals are, but surely they are not (anymore) in accordance with the goals of Commons and any other WMF project.

  8) As already stated, the "Ruwiki" fork is a Russian pro-government resource. Just take a look at their "Terms of Use", which, amongst many things, openly prohibit "Discrediting of the Russian Army" (section 5.4.13.) as well as "Propaganda of LGBT" (section 5.2.16.), and "Insults of public politicians" (section 5.4.14.).

  9) I think, by the way, that at least the above mentioned prohibition of "Propaganda of LGBT" is a serious violation of WMF's Universal Code of Conduct, section 3.1. -- Harassment (Insults: This includes name calling, using slurs or stereotypes, and any attacks based on personal characteristics. Insults may refer to perceived characteristics like intelligence, appearance, ethnicity, race, religion (or lack thereof), culture, caste, sexual orientation, gender, sex, disability, age, nationality, political affiliation, or other characteristics (bolded by me)).

  10) This means, actually, that not only local indef block(s) but also a Global ban of Drbug and Dmitry Rozhkov is in place.

  11) Of course, an unblock of Dmitry Rozhkov might have been in place, had he openly distanced himself from the "Ruwiki" project. Yet he obviously didn't, and instead, in his latest comment, clearly confirmed his association with "Ruwiki".

  12) Apart from "Ruwiki" and "Ruwiki Commons", there is also a (planned?) full Wikidata clone, this might be of interest for Wikidata administrators.

  13) Pinging Biathlon as the admin who blocked both users in Russian Wikipedia, and Ymblanter as a Wikidata sysop. Thanks --A.Savin 22:05, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

• To the arguments from A.Savin I may add those thoughts.

  1.1) The Wikipedia licenses invite us to clone all the free content from here, and to copy, to reproduce, to share the licensed content for our own benefits, in whole or in part, and to produce, reproduce, and share adapted material. Free culture lives through forks.

  1.2) Commons does not keep neutral point of view. Media from Commons is not neutral, because it expresses the author's point of view. Wikimedia Commons site is full of original research.

  1.3) Dmitry Rozhkov, as well as Drbug, may not be blocked for their activity on other internet sites, because this activity gives no harm for Commons, because Commons is a worldwide media site.

  2) —.

  3) Bans on other websites (e. g. Russian Wikipedia) do not imply bans on this site.

  4.1) The violation of license is not a stealing. But this 4th point looks formally true — I cannot see the correct attribution for the main page of the linked site.

  4.2) The word Commons has so many meanings that it cannot be stolen. Well, no word cannot be stolen, for the word is not a material thing.

  5) —.

  6) This 6th point looks formally true — I cannot see the correct attribution for the image there.

  7) As soon as noone knows about the goals, we cannot discuss this.

  8) Any user from Russia must comply with the country laws. This means, both me and you (when you live in Russia) must not discredit Russian Army, and must not propagate LGBT, and must not insult any people at all. These laws are not about websites, they are about whole life of the citizens.

  9) This means, all users living in Russia must be blocked, because they must comply with the country laws, and therefore they have no legal chance to follow the UCoC.

  10) —.

  11) As far as I know, many users of Commons are directly associated with Russian governmental resources. Here are just two examples: User:RIANbot and User:Некрасовка. Will you block all the users who gain payment from Russian GLAM (governmental libraries, archives, museums, galleries, publishers, radio stations, etc) ? Hope you will not.

• Generally speaking, I hope Commons to be a calm and mellow place, not a place for vengeance. --PereslavlFoto (talk) 23:07, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

@Taivo: What was the source for the knowledge about the goals? This may be a very valuable source, as soon as the published goals were totally different. I hope to discuss this whole fork with the scientists, so I look for the sources. Thank you. --PereslavlFoto (talk) 11:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I answered on talkpage of PereslavlFoto, because this does not touch Dmitry. Taivo (talk) 18:18, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
