User talk:Donald Trung / Disputes between Donald Trung and Mdd (added by DT)

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
This seems like a personal dispute between two users that has very little to actually do with Commons. This is not the appropriate venue for it. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 04:58, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]


I have an unusual request regarding the User talk:Donald Trung page, if it can be protected one way or another again the gigantic own activity by User Donald trung, which makes it practically impossible to communicate and to get an idea about his interaction with other users, and visa versa.

I tried to start a discussion four months ago, in which I felt so gaslighted that I never dared to try again. But now there are things I would like to discuss with him, and want to be able for others to join. The last time he removed the discussion within a day. Next in the wiki text editor I noticed I could not find how to communicate with him, because all the text space was occupied by an illustration. When I showed him a screenshot from how it looks at my Flickr account, he immediately archived that screenshot on Archive org. After he agreed to adapt he added a thread to its talk page that anybody would be fined 25 dollars or so if they didn;t get to the point right away. Now Donald Trung has a signature with a subscript "No fake news", while all of those thing seem to be exactly that.

Normally the talk page it a place where the user has some more control, but with all of those actions, it is practically impossible to focus. I hope with this request, there can be a simple solution here, which at the moment I don't see. Thank you. -- Mdd (talk) 20:56, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After I try to trace back its history looking at 5.000 edits at a time, there where 25.000 edits by the time I reached 2019. Then I noticed there seem to be en endless listing of subpages as well, see here. Here seem to be a maze of contributions, maybe trying to mask anything or keep us busy wondering. To be frank, I would appreciate if somebody could just tell me, this is all normal. Thank you. -- Mdd (talk) 22:10, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mdd, I am currently in the Philippines with bad internet, I have no issue communicating with anyone. I have often requested general help from others regarding the TOO of many posters. Rather than await the results of the posters deletion request this user seems to do anything to not communicate with me including talking about me on other pages and never linking to me to make sure that I don't get a notification. If they want to communicate then why do they avoid mentioning me directly? I only knew of this because I checked his contributions. — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 23:51, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well enjoy you stay, stop interfering in my one to one talks with other users, and let us take a look at and discuss what the hell you have been up to on your talkpage mining bitcoins or whatever...(joke)!? -- Mdd (talk) 00:07, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure why you think that I don't communicate with others as I'm sure user "源義信" would disagree with you. I tend to draft messages and imports before I publish them and I prefer to keep a record. It's not "mining" as I prefer to draft an import before I actually import files. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 00:26, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
regarding the "fined 25 (twenty-five) Dollars" that was a clear joke image that after many years nobody ever had any issue with before him and I immediately removed when he acted hostile towards the message. It is a generic "No spam" message people use on their doors that I thought was funny to add, there seems to be a clear pattern where this user goes out of their way to assume bad faith while avoiding to ever notify me of any discussions about my uploads. See the recent deletion requests I started regarding the TOO in the Netherlands after other users pointed this out as I had received confirmation numerous times before that such images were below the TOO. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 23:55, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice going, boldly changing the title of this request takes the fun away. -- Mdd (talk) 00:54, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mdd, because this isn't just about this, you seem to assert that the vast majority of my uploads are "problematic" as you did here. It seems that you seem to have a personal vendetta against me. I have interacted with plenty of more experienced users asking for permission over the years. — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 00:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also what "fun"? You seeming to not notify me of any discussions about me and making sure that I don't get any pings? Asserting that most of my uploads are "problematic" because you don't understand that the TOO is higher than "just exists", or the fact that you refuse to actually communicate directly with me? If you have issues with me then why didn't you message me directly and asked for an explanation or justification rather than just immediately assuming bad faith? Why make sure that when you message others that I don't ever get notified? I have never avoided dispute resolution but you seem to be seeking others to talk about me while avoiding to actually ping or mention me. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 01:04, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also an odd accusation that I've "smuggled" my work onto the Wikimedia Commons and that I have a "twisted view of Rotterdam", I just try to document the world around me and create educational content that others are free to use. When it comes to uploading images of posters I always take great care to avoid complicated designs and copyrighted aspects. The images of mine you recently nominated for deletion are another good example of this, these images are clearly below the TOO and only contain short and generic messages but together form a series of St. Valentine's day messages that the people of Rotterdam wanted to share in 2021. I've opened a separate discussion in the "COM:VPC" regarding the threshold of originality since the main argument you give for deletion is the fact that "Loesje" claims copyright ©️ over their works and that we should take their assertions at face value. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 01:09, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
