New subject: revoking licenses /user-request-deletions

17 Sep 2008

I know one user who uploaded his images to Commons last year with CC-BY and
to Flickr with CC-BY-NC-ND. Last month he was blocked infinitely on Russian
Wikipedia and after it he changed sources on Commons' images from "Own
work"
to Flickr and he wants to delete these images.

 Hi all of you.

 In the last months I recogniced more and more uploaders wanted their
 Images to be deleted. In normal cases I delete on uploaders request, but
 not if someone wants to have all his images / most of them deleted. This
 is problematic, because all the Licenses we have are _unrevokable!_

 Yesterday there was a user who clearly wants all of his Images yust to
 have all his Images gone and after we opposed his CSD-request he yust
 said "My father/sister/whatever took the Image, so its unfree" and we
 had to delete them all.

 I belive we should get a clear consenus about this. (For example
 blocking in cases as above!?) Do you have any Ideas?

 Regards,

 ABF
