wieso wurde das denn schon angelegt? Verlängerung der Vorwarnzeit?--Wuselig 13:38, 28. Nov. 2008 (CET)

obiger Link führt noch nicht auf eine bestehende Seite, sondern soll nur zeigen, wo die Reise hingehen kann. Vorgewarnt dürfte er ohnehin sein. Und sei dir sicher, er schnüffelt uns ohnehin hinterher. Und per Mail bekommst du die Sache auch nicht in den Griff. Irgendwer musste ja mal damit anfangen. Gruß --Herrick 14:02, 28. Nov. 2008 (CET)

Wie sieht es aus? Wann könntet ihr auf Commons online sein, damit das Ganze zeitnah signiert wird? --Herrick 15:01, 3. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Jetzt?! abf /talk to me/ 15:28, 3. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Von den anderen invovierten Usern müsste ebenfalls ein Echo kommen, da es nur wirkt, wenn ein Block von Usern sich entschlossen zeigt. --Herrick 15:31, 3. Dez. 2008 (CET)

entweder jetzt, oder an einen aktuellen Anlass unmittelbar dranhängen. --Wuselig 16:37, 3. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Seid ihr morgen vormittag online? Für heute mache ich den Laden dicht. --Herrick 16:55, 3. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Morgen? Nicht vor 16 Uhr. abf /talk to me/ 20:28, 3. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Mich hatte es am WE gesundheitstechnisch aus der Bahn geworfen, aber nu bin ich wieder "regelmäßig anwesend". Soll heißen: Ich wäre der 5. (zeitnahe) Unterzeichner auf den Commons. -- Sir Gawain Disk. 15:02, 4. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Wie siehts jetzt aus? abf /talk to me/ 16:27, 4. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Bis du gerade online? Wie sieht es mit den anderen aus? --Herrick 16:56, 4. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Ja, bin ich, und du wirst nie einen Punkt finden wo _alle_ online sind, das kommt dann halt anch und nach. abf /talk to me/ 17:53, 4. Dez. 2008 (CET)

O.k. And they're off... --Herrick 18:19, 4. Dez. 2008 (CET)

Gryffindor was elected in April 2006. Since the beginning of September he has been misusing his sysop rights to tag correctly named painting-images (artist name, correct name of the painting) with rename-tags. The new names follow the scheme artistname_###.jpg, where ### is the number assigned by Gryffindor. This number does not follow any scientific opus number, but just suits Gryffindors personal sorting criteria. Gryffindor declares the original file name a misspelling and uploads or instructs a bot to upload the images with his new file names. Such sorting criteria have not been aggreed upon by the community. Gryffindor violates the issues of other users by edit war. Here he missuses his administrator-rights by making deletions in such edit wars himself (!). In other words he is participator of the edit war, makes the judgement in the edit war and executes all in one person. He also is corrupting the files histories of such images by deleting versions without apparent reason. (Except possibly to shanghai these images to boost his image upload count).

These are only a few examples:

At the talk page of the rename bot it was discussed several times that images should not be renamed without reason. One user (Luigi Chiesa) was even excluded from the trusted users (for renaming) because of exactly the same renaming-behaviour by request of Cecil. Gryffindor as an admin can't be removed, but several users (Sir Gawain, User:O, User:ABF, Mutter Erde, User:Wuselig, Herrick, etc.) have talked to him to stop his irritating one-man-crusade. He always ignores these arguments, then he lets pass some time and deletes the images himself!

If his speedy deletion request for the images he has unnecessarily renamed are not fullfilled and his particular version is deleted for being an unnecessary renaming project, he later reverts that admin-action by restoring his image and then he deletes the original one. Several such images where heavily used in diverse projects). Here an example for the truly herculean task that his actions imposes on the system: 689 wikis searched. Herkulaneischer_Meister_002b.jpg is used on 90 pages in 34 projects..

His lacks of community policy and rights are:

deleting files created by other users and/or transfered from de.wikpedia.org
deleting files in the public domain because of their pseudo misspelling (misspelling beeing just another word for beeing differtent from his version)
creating his own rename project by ignoring naming conventions layed down by art history.

Consequences for wikipedia:

New user will find it difficult to find a special image if these images can't be searched anymore by their given names in the history of art if they are sorted into categories only by numbers. This is already one of the mayor drawbacks of the Yorck-Project where many of the images have only a number - not a correct title in any language!.

In many interwikis the commons-de-linker-bot has to be used to correct the image syntax. In many cases - Portals etc. - this is not possible and the only result is a spamming of the appropiate version-histories with the necessety for further manual clean-up work. (See the example for just one image: 689 wikis searched. Herkulaneischer_Meister_002b.jpg is used on 90 pages in 34 projects.).

He violaties the work of other users. And therby discourages them fron further participation.

Our conclusions:

There was no need for Gryffindor's immediate action resulting in such a degree of damage.
Gryffindor lacks a sufficient understanding and acceptance of Commons:Licensing, the history of art, other languages, and has strained the good faith and the community policy in general.

Therefore, we request permanent de-admin of Gryffindor on Wikimedia Commons.

--ME Übrigens, hier sein neuester Streich: 689 wikis searched. Herkulaneischer_Meister_002b.jpg is used on 90 pages in 34 projects.. Das lohnt sich richtig für den Kasper. In 10 Portal- und Benutzerseiten kam der commons-delinker übrigens gar nicht rein. Also wäre sein Name jetzt eigentlich 100mal zu lesen. Ganz toll, Gryffindor 78.51.131.26 22:51, 29. Nov. 2008 (CET)
--Wuselig 16:37, 3. Dez. 2008 (CET) This project is still called Commons. Of course we could consider renaming it Gryfindor's own private project
