Old account, please put the old account template

I had an old account (User:Copperwidth) that I owned, and I was trying to put the Old account template, (Template:Alternative user) but the Abuse filter suggested that I would log in to my old account. I had forgotten the password for that account since 2 years. I was trying to prove that the account wasn't used for sockpuppetry. Your help would be grateful.

File overwriting by User:Alanruiz45

Alanruiz45 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) User is overwriting own uploads with Copyvios from the internet. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:58, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alachuckthebuck I don't see the issue. The user made 2 contributions after a long absence - neither of which appear to be copyvio. What am I missing? Gbawden (talk) 05:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please look at deleted cont ribs, and what they were overwriting. they were overwriting images with Copyvios from the internet. I don't know why. Give me a ping if you still have questions. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:25, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like they are making some rather bad rename requests to. Like requesting File:Alan Ruiz Jimenez & mi bebe hermoso Alejandro.jpg be renamed to File:Regional mexico.jpg. The first one isn't great, but the second is way to ambagious. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:38, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if the user is trying to exercise their right to vanish, based on how these appear to be personal photos. @Bedivere, Can you talk to the user? My Spanish isn't good enough to handle this All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:42, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Considering some of these seem like personal pictures, and are unused, they may well be deleted, but not without a nomination. Bedivere (talk) 23:29, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another old account

Still, I recently discovered another old account of mine (User:TwentytwoAug). Please put the alt account template on the account. The reason why I made other accounts is that either that I just forgot the password, or that forgot the other accounts existence. Just also here to prove that I am not using these accounts for sockpuppetry, I was just young when I made the account. Sorry if I'm bothering you. :P StillOrange (talk) 14:31, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason you can't put the template on the account? All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:44, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done. If the user has no advanced rights, then some projects prohibit writing on other user's pages – I'm not sure, does it apply in Commons or not. Taivo (talk) 17:41, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is a filter that prevents non-autopatroled users from editing other peoples userspace, but I can't find the exact filter. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 17:49, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Audio file update

I have made updates to the digital renderings (meaning I corrected transcription mistakes) for the following two files:

- File:Božidar Kantušer 1st string quartet - 1st mvt.wav

- File:Božidar Kantušer 1st string quartet - 2nd mvt.wav

and I cannot overwrite these files.

@admins, would you please tell me how to proceed.

Do you delete the files, and I next upload the new ones? Or should I upload the new files and then you delete the old ones?

Turboton (talk) 15:53, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In order to overwrite files, you need the "autopatrolled" user right. Upload the new files, and either keep the old ones, or delete them as dupes, depending on the amount of change between the files. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:45, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uploads by Salh Alheib Klel

Hi all,

I'm not sure what to think about the uploads of Salh Alheib Klel. All are unused and most of them seems to be around a unknown micro-nation in Antarctica (no result on Google except on Wikimedia project) and two seems auto-promotion. The first have been used for vandalism and reverted. I'm guessing we should delete them and maybe block the account (maybe also a CU?), what do you think?

POTY 2023 Round 1 - mass message

As it is now October 1st and POTY has started, could an admin please send this message to these targets? The person who was asked if he could do it just said he never used massmessage so help is needed. Thank you in advance! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 16:15, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Giles Laurent: ✓ Done. Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Giles Laurent: however I'm really sorry. I don't know what caused the heading to appear twice? Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:02, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Copying the header into the "subject" of Special:MassMessage when it's also embedded on the "page to be sent". Now that classic question of whether to load up AWB to remove it or let it be. :) — Rhododendrites talk |  17:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
jeez. I see, and the messaging tool asks for the subject line (error: the subject line is empty). I have no good experience with AWB and would leave it to others. Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming a category

Hello. The category Category:Demonstration for Palestine in Barcelona (27 September 2024) was wrongfully/unnecessarily renamed Category:Vaga general per Palestina 2024 (Barcelona), even after Category:Strike for Palestine (27 September 2024) had been renamed Category:Vaga general per Palestina 2024 and then renamed back. Anyways, the problem is now I can't rename the category because the English name is already in use as a redirection. I would kindly ask you to do that for me, if possible and plausible, as per Commons:Categories#Category names and also for homogeneity with other categories under Category:Demonstrations and protests in Barcelona in 2024. -- Brunnaiz (talk) 16:19, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
