Due to recent vandalism a new report on Commons for page patrollers has been started at <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:F%C3%A6/BLP_overwrites>. This page shows images actively used on English Wikipedia biography articles, where a new upload has overwritten the original by a "newbie"* account. The report should be automatically refreshed within 15 minutes of a new image upload/overwrite of this type. Instances of deliberate image vandalism of this type are rare, but important to handle promptly. If you have suggestions for improvement of this report, I would be happy to do my best to accommodate them. Notes: * For convenience newbie accounts have been arbitrarily taken as accounts with fewer than 200 edits on the English Wikipedia or fewer than 100 edits on Wikimedia Commons. * The report is maintained by Faebot and should be considered in a draft state as it may be moved to a more 'official' location or be taken on by more skilled bot operators.

I would not want to claim the credit. :-) This was done the wiki-way, as an interesting tangent from discussion at < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Better_watchlisting…gt;. The final SQL is mostly Bawolff's experience, and I happen to be playing around with SQL to support the Wellcome Images upload project I'm spending most of my volunteer time on, thanks to some prompting to get more value from the wiki database from Steinsplitter. When communities use wikis to work together, it sure speeds up this sort of response compared to working it all out by yourself. Fae On 17 October 2014 15:02, Risker <risker.wp(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Well kudos, it's always nice to see people taking such problem seriously and not trolling about it. 2014-10-18 5:02 GMT+02:00 Keegan Peterzell <keegan.wiki(a)gmail.com>om>:

Well then kudos to Bawolff, Steinsplitter, and yourself, Fæ. It's always heartening to see proactive initiatives. We should discuss them more often, probably. -- ~Keegan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Keegan This is my personal email address.

Very nice. If this bug is fixed, the problem would be solved for all images, not just BLPs: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63518 Perhaps ths indicates that the importance for that bug should be raised? *Med vänliga hälsningar,Jan Ainali* Verksamhetschef, Wikimedia Sverige <http://wikimedia.se> 0729 - 67 29 48 *Tänk dig en värld där varje människa har fri tillgång till mänsklighetens samlade kunskap.

These overlap but they are not quite the same thing. Bug 63518 would be a smart improvement so that if you are in Wikipedia and have an article on your watchlist, then you will be notified of changes to images used on that page. Whereas the Commons based report <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:F%C3%A6/BLP_overwrites> notifies you of suspect BLP photograph changes, even when you are not already watching the articles (or images). The latter is better to monitor for random vandalism. Fae -- faewik(a)gmail.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae

Based on discussion with 99of9 at <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:F%C3%A6/BLP_overwrites#Boundary_conditions> the report has been changed to include editors with up to 1000 edits on Commons and 2000 edits on Wikipedia. The images list has jumped to 20 from 6, still a small and manageable list for new image patrollers. A previous minor change was to how often the report runs - checks are made every 5 minutes now, previously it was every 15. If you would like to see other improvements, please raise suggestions on the above talk page and I would be happy to discuss what would be sensible to include or adapt.
