Speedy deletion template icon

Before I went inactive and lost my administrative rights, I remember seeing a little rubbish bin icon in connection with speedy deletion templates, which when clicked would take me to the page's &delete tab with a prefilled deletion rationale. Now I can't see the icon, which I assume is the result of not being an administrator anymore. What file is used for this purpose? See this oldid for a page with a speedy deletion template. Nyttend (talk) 20:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nyttend: Looks like it's File:Gnome-edit-delete.svg Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:55, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is the attribution requirement fulfilled? Context — I've proposed that this icon be added to the en:wp speedy deletion templates (Template talk:Db-meta), and someone says that we have to have a PD image or one with a no-attribution-required licence. Nyttend (talk) 21:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Nyttend: Attribution is to GNOME Project, and {{LGPLv3}} doesn't require attribution. Who says "we have to have a PD image or one with a no-attribution-required licence" where?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 04:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
LGPLv3 does require attribution: see section 4 of the GPLv3, which is incorporated by the bit before section 0 of the LGPLv3. CC BY-SA, of course, also requires attribution. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mdaniels5757: So why does our template not take any parameters?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:09, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. Because attribution doesn't need to be in the template; it just needs to be "conspicuously and appropriately" on "each copy". This would include attribution elsewhere on the file description page, at least where the description page is linked by the image. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:41, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I can see this icon. On [1], I get File not found: /v1/AUTH_mw/wikipedia-commons-local-public.96/9/96/Gnome-edit-delete.svg. Any idea? Yann (talk) 11:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I filled up a bug report: phab:T363995. Yann (talk) 11:48, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone help me out here.

I tried with nominating File:Atal Bihari Vajpayee (crop 2).jpg for valued image at Commons:Valued image candidates/Atal Bihari Vajpayee (crop 2).jpg. I did. But after this long, I see no progress. Is there any issue with my nomination. Have I done something wrong. If yes then can someone please fix it. If no can we take the nomination forward and vote. ShaanSenguptaTalk 07:54, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shaan Sengupta It looks like you may have forgot step 2 from Commons:Valued image candidates#Adding a new nomination (image); it should be working now. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mdaniels5757 Maybe. Thank you so much for the help. ShaanSenguptaTalk 02:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some GODL-India to review

I am here with a request to the reviewers/admins to kindly review some GODL-India files. Some of these are used on multiple wiki projects. Everyone knows the backlog of GODL-India. So this is the only way. The list obviously looks long, mainly bcoz of multiple crops.

Please Review all these so that my unreviewed upload backlog and some uploads from others that I have fixed is cleared. Thank You Again In Advance. ShaanSenguptaTalk 16:10, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sikander, @Gabldotink and @C1K98V Just a gentle reminder. Will you be doing some more reviews? ShaanSenguptaTalk 15:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

XXXtentacion - dubious license

These two photos of en:XXXtentacion: File:Xxxtentacion mugshot.jpg (480x640 pix) and File:Look at Me!.jpg (3k x 3k pix) have a source of "Florida Dept. of Corrections". The 3k x 3k resolution and image quality is far higher than what I found on Florida's offender search engine. Photos there are small, often grainy, out of focus, and harsh lighting and shadows. The photo, to me, appears to be a photoshoot. I did a search on XXXtentacion (as "Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy", "Jahseh Onfroy" or "Onfroy" only) on that search engine and did not get any hits. A google image search of Look at Me!.jpg (will link work later?) returns numerous hits, many using "mug shot". Is this a valid license? Thanks Adakiko (talk) 18:51, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
