Warning about possible attacks related to images of Vietnamese artists

It has been reported on my talk page (User_talk:MGA73#Vandalism-related_help) that there is an attack on images of Vietnamese artists. It seems that users mass tag files with no permission and then the files are deleted.

I have checked a few files reported by Special:DeletedContributions/Neko_hehe and they were from YouTube and looked okay to me. Example File:DoMixi1989.jpg and File:20181013 Nguyễn Phương Hằng at Talkshow.png.

So please be careful before you delete files tagged with no permission. And if someone have time to help check deleted files it would be great. --MGA73 (talk) 15:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

I also noticed that the person added a tag so it looked like the file was marked 8 days ago. --MGA73 (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

This user too: Special:DeletedContributions/Funny_Man_1999. Any help restoring files is welcome. --MGA73 (talk) 17:53, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Hope you and the others can restore my and other Vietnamese user uploaded photos. Great thanks. Mickey Đại Phát (talk) 17:56, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

This probably is a retaliation request from a blocked user. Three files, uploaded by user:TolyastarRUSSIAz as 'own works', unsourced and licensed under cc-by-sa-4.0, were tagged by me among many others to clarify their real copyright status. Quick1984 (talk) 13:33, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

 Not done I warned TolyastarRUSSIAz, and blocked the IP. TolyastarRUSSIAz should be blocked if this reoccurs. Yann (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry, at that time I had just joined the Wikipedia community and did not know how to properly issue licenses. I'll fix everything within a week. TolyastarRUSSIAz (talk) 19:20, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
