they are never "superseeded". Removing categories is a vandalism. --Sailko (talk) 21:15, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "vandalism"? A specific example would help. 170.146.220.71 02:19, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind words. It's nice to see public appreciation for for my work, and it makes a stark contrast with bureaucrats enforcing vague policies that aren't well understood. Aavindraa (talk) 20:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aavindraa, I warned you several times in the past and you already got a block 10 years ago for overwriting files. I just noticed you overwrote File:Albrecht Dürer 087.jpg and a whole lot of other files. You don't seem to be getting it so I blocked you for a month. You can be unblocked now, you just have to agree to one condition: You won't overwrite any files except files where you are the only uploader. Multichill (talk) 15:47, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have struggled to interpret what com:OVERWRITE really means, so you are right, I don't really get it. If I had more time to spend on Wikipedia, one of my first changes would be:

• making com:OVERWRITE clearer; it is vague enough for "wrong" interpretation as evidenced by my lack of understanding it for 10 years now.
• make it easier to manage files across multiple wiki
• obsoleting /changing some of the policies in com:OVERWRITE

.

@Taivo I know reading carefully on a Sunday can be challenging. Maybe you missed this part: going forward I have no interest in replacing files. If this is the new status quo on Wikimedia then please go ahead and ban me permantnly. Aavindraa (talk) 20:04, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your response is unclear and ambiguous. Do you agree with the unblock condition? Please answer with either yes or no so it's clear for everyone. Multichill (talk) 11:22, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
