Concerns regarding uploads from a user

I have some concerns regarding some uploads for another user, User:Bigguy637. I've just reached out to them with a message regarding their incorrect use of the 'own work' for author/source, but I'm unsure how to discuss and advise on the use of the correct content license; as they've also been using "self|cc-zero" (Creative Commons 0, with that extra "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it..." box around it.), which wouldn't be correct as they're all safety symbols, from years old design standards and legal acts.

I also have some concerns that some of their uploads are not-free works and prohibited on the Commons. I've nominated a batch for deletion here Commons:Deletion requests/Portal 2 Safety Signs that I'm very confident on.-- The Navigators (talk) 06:47, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

@The Navigators: Hi. Why are you telling me, rather than posting to an Admin noticeboard like COM:ANU where Admins like Эlcobbola might notice it?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 12:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, thought you were one (I recalled your username from some prior discussions over the years); and thought about going directly to you since you'd spoken with them recently about another policy matter.

I'll take this to the admin noticeboard; you can archive this discussion.

Have a good one. The Navigators (talk) 12:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

RfCU

Please do not make inappropriate notations to RfCU cases, or indeed any to closed cases. RfCU is "the place to request investigations of abuse of multiple accounts or of other circumstances that require use of checkuser privileges." It is not the place to document administrative actions. Эlcobbola _talk 14:04, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@Elcobbola: Sorry, you marked it {{Checkuserblock}}, so that felt appropriate in documenting a checkuser action. FYI, that marking doesn't expand or get linked in the logs, please consider using Template:Checkuserblock instead.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 14:12, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Per COM:BP regarding CU blocks: "These blocks are marked as a {{Checkuserblock}} in the block summary." (bold added) Because it is an annotation intended for (potential) reviewing admins, that is is not linked to a template is of no relevance or importance (admins know what it means). You may conflate a mere block note (my use) with invocation of a template (not my use). Эlcobbola _talk 14:31, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:DSC 1882 (5186137702).jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:DSC 1882 (5186137702).jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

@Sadads: In reference to Commons:Deletion requests/File:DSC 1879 (5185532919).jpg, which page from the US Military history website is this a copy of, exactly?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:15, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Template to ask for a user to not upload copyrighted material

Hello, I would like to know if there is a template to be used on the talk page if a user continuously uploads copyrighted material. Could you please help me on the matter? CoffeeEngineer (talk) 18:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

@CoffeeEngineer: Thanks for writing. I built standardized "proper" warnings into {{Copyvionote}} and {{Speedynote}}. I brought over the polite, kinder, gentler {{Fcs}}, which redirects to {{File copyright status}}, as a standalone first warning to use if the previously listed warnings don't fit and the following warning doesn't apply yet. The last or final warning is {{End of copyvios}}. The last two warnings are available with other warnings and messages in the User Messages gadget in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 00:03, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
