Talk:Bad Wildbad

The article in question was created by a new user whose only contributions were the creation of a picture heavy stub. What should we do? Hobbitschuster (talk) 20:50, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- The German article is quite detailed, so maybe the stub is worth keeping until someone (you, maybe?) takes it upon themselves to translate. The pictures should probably go, though. ARR8 (talk) 21:08, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

- I know vandalism has been an issue of late, but I'm having difficulty believing these edits are vandalism. Perhaps they could be accused of displaying underwhelming enthusiasm to their new article, but not more than that. Andrewssi2 (talk) 21:50, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- The original creator uploaded some of the photos and made several edits to the German article, so I don't suspect vandalism. The article now has some content, based in part on the French and German articles, but there is still a lot more that could be translated. AlasdairW (talk) 23:23, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- (ec) From what I've seen, PCV generally targets tiny places with little value or possible content, whereas Bad Wildbad seems to have enough to write about and valuable interwiki articles. Doesn't match up for me. ARR8 (talk) 23:54, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- No, it's not vandalism. Has anyone checked for copyright violation on the part of the new user? --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 23:50, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- What copyvio? They didn't write anything. Unless you mean the photos? ARR8 (talk) 23:54, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- For anglophone people, it's worth keeping just for the place name. :-) Nurg (talk) 07:51, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- I checked again at the last revision of article's creator, and yes, "What copyvio" is a good description of it. When I originally saw the article, there were some listings in it, etc. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 15:11, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you're saying. This is the article as the new user wrote it. There are no listings. ARR8 (talk) 21:18, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

- It appears that an editor uploaded a few photos to commons. The editor also added about 8k of text to the German article, and created similar skeleton articles with photos on English, French and Spanish WV - see global contributions. I also saw IP edits adding the same photos to WP articles. I guess somebody really wanted to show off their photos. (I have just added es:Bad Wildbad to the WD item.)
