Files by Conk 9
[edit]I have nominated almost all images that were uploaded by Conk 9 at en.wiki. Since 2006, this user has uploaded hundreds of copyright violations at Wikipedia, with many still remaining on Wikimedia's servers. Simply put, the sheer quantity of violations, as well as this user's complete disregard for copyright law or Wikipedia copyright policy, means that we cannot trust anything that Conk 9 has ever uploaded. After sorting through this user's contributions, I have identified all of this user's images from en.wiki that have been migrated to Commons. --GrapedApe (talk) 02:53, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
- Please see that user's talk page (User talk:Conk 9) and this for a sample of the scale of copyright infringement. This user is currently blocked for these violations. The blocking admin said "Reviewing this talkpage makes grim reading." See also Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Conk 9

- Delete all As Commons:Assume good faith says, "Unless there is clear evidence to the contrary, assume that people who work on the project are trying to help it, not hurt it." Conk 9 has given tons and tons of clear evidence to the contrary, and we have no good reason to believe any of his or her claims of authorship; there's simply too great a chance of one or more of them being a copyvio or copyvios.

- While I agree that everything without EXIF should be deleted, I am not sure about Canon PowerShot S200 and Canon PowerShot SD450 shots. Trycatch (talk) 03:30, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
I was thinking about that too, but there are about a dozen types of camera EXIFs, with everything ranging from cell phone cameras to professional-grade, in this user's uploaded files. I don't think we can even trust those PowerShot ones. Just looking at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Conk 9 shows how little good faith we ought to give to this user.--GrapedApe (talk) 03:41, 27 August 2010 (UTC)- I've been thinking about that Trycatch said about the S200 and SD450. I've withdrawn the nominations for those images.--GrapedApe (talk) 18:07, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Delete everything without EXIF. I've started looking through these and the ones still on Wikipedia and have (so far at least) not found a confirmed copyvio amongst those with EXIF data. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:58, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Deleted those without EXIF-data, kept the others as AGF. Kameraad Pjotr 20:25, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
