70.107.111.252 changing verified free licenses to all-rights-reserved[edit]

Sorry I don't have time to deal with this myself right now; found this on COM:VP/C:

IP user 70.107.111.252 edited the licensing information of a handful of Flickr files, making them look unfree for reuse, especially with that warning in the caption field (BEWARE! This photograph is copyrighted, so do not use on your personal/business website. Otherwise, a 3rd party service called Pixsy will come after you for "copyright infringement" and you will pay a hefty fine.). Is this revertible trolling or something to be taken more seriously? --HyperGaruda (talk) 13:36, 14 October 2023 (UTC) END COPIEDReply[reply]

Convenience link: User:70.107.111.252. Looks like it needs cleanup, mostly in captions. Some sort of block may also be in order. - Jmabel ! talk 18:31, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done Vandalism was on 12 April 2023. There is no point to block it now. Yann (talk) 19:55, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks, I've now removed all the misleading captions. - Jmabel ! talk 20:43, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
