Draft:Gagan Randhawa

Hi Aafi, How are you. My name is Gagan Randhawa and I am an Indian actress. I am trying to create my article on wikipedia so people can know more about me. I am creating the article according to the guidelines from wikipedia but some how my article is stuck at Draft:Gagan Randhawa and I can't move it to the main article page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Gagan_Randhawa#Gagan_Randhawa Above is the link to my article's draft. You can also search me on Google by the name of Gagan randhawa and you will get all the information there. Hope you can help me out in this. Thanks & Regards Gagan Randhawa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaganrandhawa13 (talk • contribs) 10:56, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

@Gaganrandhawa13: I don't know why you left a message on Commons when the article was on the English Wikipedia. Anyways, I had to decline the draft. ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:07, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi TheAafi, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Welcome, Dear Patroller!

Counter Vandalism Unit

Hi Aafi,

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use your help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons. .--- FitIndia Talk ✉ 14:14, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

Congratulations, dear license reviewer

If you use the helper gadget, you will find the links next to the search box (vector) or as single tabs (monobook). They are named license+ and license-.

Hi TheAafi, thanks for your request for license reviewer status. The request has been closed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. You can now start reviewing files – please see Commons:License review and Commons:Flickr files if you haven't done so already. We also have a guide how to detect copyright violations. Potential backlogs include Flickr review and files from other sources. You can enable the LicenseReview gadget from Preferences.

Important: You should not review your own uploads, nor those of anyone closely related to you!

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons webchat on irc.libera.chat. You can also add {{User license reviewer}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your contributions on Commons! --Minorax«¦talk¦» 01:32, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi Minorax, Thanks! However, while adding me to the group of image reviewers, you accidentally removed me from the group of patrollers. Can this be fixed? AafiOnMobile (talk) 02:52, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Patroller is redundant to the image reviewers group and there has been a practice of removing patroller when granting image reviewer. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 02:53, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
Ah, I understand. Thanks for the clarification. AafiOnMobile (talk) 02:57, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Excuse me? I wan't to reclaim it. Fazoffic (talk) 10:55, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Dear @Fazoffic, you need to be legally authorized copyright holder/owner to release permissions for any file. If you do not have any legal authorization, I feel to say sorry, I can not help. ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:59, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

@TheAafi: Maybe, the commons don't want to accept this excuse. but still I must say: the copyright owner of this file, passed away 3 years ago. And a joint note: "copyright owners, give me permission to reuse the file in any form, except for commercial purposes. I know this may be strange, but I don't have any other evidence besides that. If you are interested, please Contact @Nara Fortice he was at the scene at the time (when the copyright owner, my uncle died) Fazoffic (talk) 11:10, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Allright, this is my first time here and, someone is call me? Nara Fortice (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear @Fazoffic, I'm all about to help you here. Since copyright issues are very delicate, Wikimedia Commons take very much precautions and care while dealing with it. Given that, even if I approve of the story that your uncle has passed away, I still cannot approve release issued by you because you're not a legal heir of him. Given that, you might want to ask your uncle's legal heir to release the permissions of images through COM:RELGEN. ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:14, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
I'am the legal heir of him. I give him (@Fazoffic) permission to use that files. my father gave the file to me, however, since I'm not good at managing files, I gave it to him (considering he's also a photographer who is good at managing those kinds of things) Nara Fortice (talk) 11:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
@Nara Fortice: I though you just domiciled on Idwiki. Why you here? Fazoffic (talk) 11:23, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
@Fazoffic: maybe just to see how everyone can added picture in wikipedia Nara Fortice (talk) 11:25, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
@TheAafi: So.... the legal heir of my uncle is here. Can i re-claimed my files? Fazoffic (talk) 11:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
@TheAafi? Fazoffic (talk) 11:30, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
@Fazoffic and @Nara Fortice, please use COM:RELGEN to send the release. Don't forget to enter the ticket number as 2022072810007137. Regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:55, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

License review

Hi! I noticed that you reviewed the license for File:Samantha_Hudson_El_Salto.jpg. Just wanted to let you know that these two: File:Samantha_Hudson_El_Salto_2.jpg, File:Samantha_Hudson_El_Salto_3.jpg are from the very same page/interview, so I guess the same validation process that applied to the first one would also apply to the others. Would you mind then —if you have some spare time— to have a look and consider validating them as well? Thank you very much in advance. Have a good one! Nacaru (talk) 08:41, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Given the recent change in the license, I suggest that you put the way back URL as a source and state that the images were freely licensed until 4 August 2022. I'd take some time and validate these images. ─ The Aafī (talk) 08:57, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
Forgot to ping @Nacaru. ─ The Aafī (talk) 08:58, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
@TheAafi I already did, hehe. Nacaru (talk) 10:23, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
Oh wait, not in the "source" parameter, I will do it right away. Nacaru (talk) 10:24, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
@Nacaru, thanks, I'm busy at the moment with this event and once I get free later in the night, I'll have a look over other images needing review. I've however passed the above two images. ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:39, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
Thanks a lot, and good luck with the Wikiquote event 😉 Nacaru (talk) 15:58, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Do not tag with no permission files from this website. They are under a free license. Thanks, Yann (talk) 21:06, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

@Yann I disagree. @Jeff G. may elaborate the issue best. More at VRT cafe from February 2021. ─ The Aafī (talk) 05:59, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

We have 17,267 files from Bollywood Hungama accepted since March 2008‎. Get informed before doing anything. Thanks, Yann (talk) 11:39, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
@Yann: TheAafi has everything on the record. If you have additional email messages from LastFM or Bollywood Hungama or anything else to add to the ticket, please do.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:40, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
OK, so why then saying that there is no permission for these files? Yann (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
Given what has been going on since 2020. @CptViraj opined in one discussion back then that As BH isn't responding to GRuban's emails, my opinion is that we stop accepting new BH files and keep the existing ones. but there are several other threads. No clarifications/responses explicitly mean no permission. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:45, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for finding that. I was trying to keep their privacy, but now the cat's out of the bag.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 17:41, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

سوال

السلام علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ جی جناب آپ اردو ویکیپیڈیا والے دی عافی ہیں یا کوئی اور ہیں Abualsarmad (talk) 16:25, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

وعلیکم السلام۔ Abualsarmad۔
جی میں ہی ہوں۔ اب یہاں بھی الزام تراشی کا کام شروع نہ کیجیے گا۔ میں نے کامنز پر آپ کا تبادلہ خیال دیکھا اور معلوم ہوا کہ آپ سے ماضی میں بھی حقوقِ نسخہ کے حوالے سے پابندی لگی ہے۔ میں نے اس تصویر کے لیے پرمشن کا نوٹس بھیجا ہے۔ اگر یہ تصویر آپ نے کھینچی ہے اور حقوقِ نسخہ آپ کے پاس ہیں تو یہاں پر جاکر اس کی تصدیق کریں۔
اگر یہ تصویر آپ نے نہیں کھینچی ہے یا حقوقِ نسخہ آپ کے پاس نہیں ہیں تو اس صورت میں بھی اس کے اصل تخلیق کار کے نام مع اجازت نامے کو ظاہر کریں۔ بہت شکریہ۔ ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:54, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
ایک مزید نوٹ: ہمیشہ کچھ نیا سیکھنے کی کوشش کیجیے۔ اس کا فائدہ یہ ہوگا کہ آپ سے ایک ہی غلطی دوبارہ نہیں ہوگی اور آپ اور لوگوں کو نئی چیزیں سکھا پائیں گے۔ دائرتہ المعارف پر کسی بھی چیز کو دل پر نہیں لینا چاہیے بلکہ اس سے سیکھنا چاہیے اور ہمیشہ اصلاح کے لیے تیار رہنا چاہیے۔ ہٹ دھرمی کسی بھی مسئلے کا حل نہیں ہے۔ ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:57, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

جی بہت مہربانی کوئی الزام میں نے نہیں لگایا Abualsarmad (talk) 17:01, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
@ابو السرمد، کتابوں کے ٹائٹل پیجز کاپی رائٹڈ ہوتے ہیں۔ ویکیمیڈیا کامنز پر ان کو اپلوڈ کرنے کی اجازت نہیں ہے بلکہ مقامی ویکیپیڈیا پر اپلوڈ کرنا بہتر ہے اور وہ بھی اسی صورت جب ان پر مضمون موجود ہو۔ ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:10, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

دل پر لینے والی کوئی بات نہیں اللہ آپ کو خوش رکھے اصول و ضوابط مانگنا کونسی قیامت ڈھے گئی تھی پھر میں نے کئی دن انتظار کیا جناب نے جواب نہیں دیامیرا خیال ہے آپ اسے برا محسوس کر گئی مجھے اس پر دلی افسوس ہے — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abualsarmad (talk • contribs) 17:23, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

@ابو السرمد، جی نہیں، مصروفیات ہوتی ہیں اور جب بندہ اپنی استعداد کے مطابق سمجھا چکا ہوتا ہے پھر اسے خاموش رہنا چاہیے۔ میں عرصے سے دیکھ رہا ہوں کہ اردو ویکیپیڈیا بجائے ترقی کی طرف گامزن ہو، ایک ایڈورٹائزنگ ہب بنتا جارہا ہے۔ کسی کی اصلاح کرنے کی کوشش کی جاتی ہے تو اسے انا یاد آجاتی ہے مجھ سے کیوں کر سوال کیا جارہا ہے۔ بہرحال، اردو ویکیپیڈیا کی باتیں اردو ویکیپیڈیا پر۔ ویکیمیڈیا کامنز پر صرف آزاد تصاویر ہی اپلوڈ کی جاسکتی ہیں۔ غیر آزاد تصویریں اپلوڈ نہیں کرسکتے۔ خورشید ناظر کی تصویر اگر آپ نے لی ہے تو بتائیے۔ اگر حقوقِ نسخہ کسی اور کے پاس ہیں تب بھی بتائیے تاکہ میں کوئی مناسب مشورہ دے سکوں۔ بہت شکریہ ─ The Aafī (talk) 19:21, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Help request

Hello Aafi!

This is a continuation of this conversation: User talk:Klein Muçi (revision 24521371)

What I wanted to ask for help is the last question here: User talk:Kaganer (revision 729544115)

I was making changes but I wasn't seeing them updated everywhere. Much to my surprise now, I see that they are now reflected everywhere. Must have been an overload problem for the server. As you can understand from that conversation, I plan to make some other changes soon, fill in some information, change some dates, etc. and I was worried I was doing something wrong. Apparently I am not?

PS: Maybe you'll be able to see that the general layout in that campaign is copied from the Indian food photo-campaign. Klein Muçi (talk) 14:01, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

@Klein Muçi, thanks. The thing is that whenever any change is made to a source page, it needs to be re-marked for translation. You get this option at the top of the page after you are done making changes. If you have used the correct translation markup, go ahead and mark the page for translation. The way I did this change and then marked the page for translation. It is advisable to mark categories as well, so that, translated pages from various languages dont't mess up ending on one single page. ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:10, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
If changes are not marked for translation, they cannot appear on the translated pages. Once a source page is re-marked for translation, Fuzzybot updates all the translated pages and outdated translations are marked as "outdated" and so on. The way you cans see here. Best, ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:22, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Well, according to my knowledge, I did that that day but the translation still wasn't showing everywhere (on the mainpage, etc.)
I thank you for the changes you did. I suppose everything is fine now, no? For both campaigns. At least, without me introducing new changes. How about the category pages themselves? They use distinctive headers. Do they look fine to you? Have I done everything correctly? I'm asking because as far as I've understood, this will be a recurring thing by my community so I want to have a "correct template" which I can copy-paste-adapt for other upcoming years. — Klein Muçi (talk) 14:28, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi, I do not find anything missing except the usage of translate tags without having any text between them [and I've been bold and removed the tags]. While adapting this in the next year, please make sure you do not copy the Translation unit markers as those are assigned by the Translate Extension. Everything else looks fine to me. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 14:33, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
AafiOnMobile, thank you very much for your help! — Klein Muçi (talk) 15:35, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
@TheAafi, one last question: You've set up the categories for translation so they normally appear redlinked in English now. What should I do with them? Do I just create them in a blank state? Is it common practice to have different per language categories? — Klein Muçi (talk) 15:49, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi, marking categories for translation is defined at mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration#Markup examples. For the redlinked categories that appear on all the pages except the source one can be created and all the translations in that specific language would be categorized into that language. I feel it is always a good practice to mark categories for translation as well. Let me know if you have any other queries. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:01, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
@TheAafi, okay then. Thank you one more time! — Klein Muçi (talk) 16:08, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi: In case, you add a Category:123 on so many pages and these pages get translated into several languages. It becomes a mess if they are categorized into one single Category:123, instead we mark categories for translation to avoid all of the translations getting categorized into one single category. Just the base pages remain in base category. The translated pages go to category [if it exists in that language], otherwise it appears redlinked. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:21, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
Yes, I understood that now. I thought it would be common practice to keep everything into a single category but I suppose that's more organized. — Klein Muçi (talk) 16:23, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi: I am glad that I have been helpful. It is always good to keep things in a more organized manner. I've learnt a lot from Pols12 since this incident. Pols is a master translation admin. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:38, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

File:Jama Masjid Darul Uloom Hussainia 3.jpg and other photos need to be categorized properly

Hi TheAafi, I noticed that this photo and many other of your recent uploads have just been put into the category Category:DCW Bhopal Photo Event 2022 but no other. Having event categories is fine but this shouldn't be the only category. This building (probably some heritage of significance) deserves to have its own category, possibly linked to a corresponding Wikidata entry. Best, AFBorchert (talk) 19:56, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

@AFBorchert: You are right. I've for now created a created a category which I'd be using for these files. Could you please delete File:Mufti Sirajuddin Rabbani.jpg? I just noticed from your message on the talk page of Bilal Nibraas and tried to review all of the uploads once again and there is some sort of DV included with this. It would be too difficult getting in touch with the seminary where this photo was taken and the photo isn't elsewhere used on the encyclopedia. Best, ─ The Aafī (talk) 22:37, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
+ File:Bilal Nibraas learning to edit Wikipedia on mobile.jpg ─ The Aafī (talk) 22:47, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Sorted pretty much for now. @AFBorchert: Please delete these two images. Thanks ─ The Aafī (talk) 22:48, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi The Aafī, I am not sure if this is necessary in these two cases, i.e. for File:Bilal Nibraas learning to edit Wikipedia on mobile.jpg and File:Mufti Sirajuddin Rabbani.jpg. Right now we have no entry for India at COM:DM. The copyright law from 1957 has a de minimis clause in § 52 (u) for cinematographic films but unfortunately not for other media. And this does not appear to have been amended in 2012. I've found this article according to which case law is leaning towards some support of de minimis, even if it is not codified in the law. In your two photos the inclusion appears incidental and comparatively minimal. In contrast to this, the poster dominates the picture at File:Aafi at DCW general meet-up 18 February 2023.jpg. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 07:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
@AFBorchert, Brilliant, you are a good researcher as well. In that case File:Aafi at DCW general meet-up 18 February 2023.png needs to be deleted because getting permissions about the poster seems too difficult. I've re-uploaded a version of its after removing the background. ─ The Aafī (talk) 07:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Nolabob, the ticket is under-review. Once everything is clarified, a VRT agent (likely me) would update the file page with permissions. Best, ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:39, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Administrators/Requests/TheAafi

Hi TheAafi, thank you for considering to support Commons as admin. Your run wasn't successful this time but your comparatively low number of edits and participation in admin-related areas made another outcome unlikely. I hope you will reconsider a candidacy in six months or a year. I suggest to participate more in deletion requests and in other admin-related areas during this period. I think that we can be grateful for your contributions to Commons and in particular for your activity as VRT member. And I am looking forward to see your eventual participation as admin. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 22:49, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

@AFBorchert, Thanks, I did learn a number of things from this RfA and theoretically I wouldn't consider this unsuccessful because it has highlighted certain errors that I should not be making and it is pretty much helpful. I look forward to taking care of issues that were raised in this RfA and hopefully be back after I happen to take care of every such issue because hurry makes a man worry. ─ The Aafī (talk) 03:47, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Translation page history

Hello! Yesterday I got some watchlist emails about user Brackenheim making some changes to all of the pages in the Albanian food campaign I set up for this year. These emails didn't include any diffs in them so I suspect them all to be translation related changes. Is there a place where I can see such changes at hand? I mean something similar as a page history about the translations of a page. I remember using such a page in the past but I've forgotten where to look for now. I just want to see what was changed so maybe I can replicate it at last year's campaign as well if needed. - Klein Muçi (talk) 12:17, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Klein Muçi, this shows that they just translated some stuff into German? I do not find more edits from them on this. They just happen to have translated the Category:Traditional Albanian food photography competition - 2023/Organisation into German language. Do you need help with anything else? ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:35, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
The other thing is that they logged it into a aggregate group. See this. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:37, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
What exactly is an aggregate group?
I had emails mentioning all subpages of the campaign of this year but maybe they're all related to German translations. In that case there's not much to do in regard to the last year one because it is not a necessary change to have it in German as well (even though it definitely wouldn't hurt). — Klein Muçi (talk) 17:45, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_administration explains it as, It is possible to group related pages together. These groups work like all the other message groups. They have their own statistics and contain all the messages of the subgroups: in this case translatable pages. This functionality is currently in Special:AggregateGroups. Aggregate message groups are collapsed by default in Special:LanguageStats in the group selector at Special:Translate but this is something that I have never practiced so far. ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:59, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Forgot to ping @Klein Muçi... ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:59, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Hmm... Now maybe that would be interesting to include even on past year campaign... — Klein Muçi (talk) 18:42, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi, true, you should be yourself able to do it by scrolling over Special:AggregateGroups and finding the section about this campaign. ─ The Aafī (talk) 09:32, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
I just tried it out. The group appears rather complete but it has 2 pages in it which have an accompanied note saying they don't exist. Should they maybe be removed from the group? — Klein Muçi (talk) 14:11, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
@Klein Muçi, this is likely because: this page is not in translation and thus showed as invalid and this page was duplicated, and thus showed as invalid. I've removed both from there. ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:16, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! :) — Klein Muçi (talk) 14:20, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Need urgent help

Hello @TheAafi, i would like to request your help with marking this portal page for translation. Its kind of urgent as we have to launch the competition in less than 10hrs now. Thank you. Wilson (talk) 23:14, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

@OtuNwachinemere, I'm not sure what should I prepare for translation on this page because it uses templates only. The page is however already in translation. ─ The Aafī (talk) 01:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, I have just prepared the Template:Wiki Loves Africa header 2023 intro box and will timely check with other ones. The portal page you linked should appear in a user's interface languages if these templates happen to be translated. ─ The Aafī (talk) 01:23, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, prepared and marked all of the templates for translation that appear on this portal page. Best regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 01:49, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Thank you very much @TheAafi. I see you already tagged the templates.
I will also ask that you please take a look at this template too. Wilson (talk) 07:49, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi @OtuNwachinemere, unfortunately, I'm not on my system right now so I won't be able to mark the page for translation but I've prepared it to be marked. Best, ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 08:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Many Thanks. I really appreciate your proactive work. شکریہ Wilson (talk) 08:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@TheAafi, i see all the pages are now marked for translation. Thank yoU!
However, there is a new challenge, while translating this Template, it doesn't reflect in the mainpage here.
Pls what could be the issue? Wilson (talk) 10:32, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere: The base page is set to receive interface language. For example, if all of the transcluded templates are translated into Urdu and my interface language is Urdu, I would see the whole of base page in Urdu. Since it has seriously nothing that needs translation, I do not feel adding it unnecessarily to the translate system. Even if I do it, the translated pages would need a lot of manual editing to get the translated templates fetched on them. ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
I see, how about if i want to see the quality of the translations and and what number of translations are available, what do i do? Wilson (talk) 10:56, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, do you mean Special:LanguageStats or something else? ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:02, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
No, i mean, how do i see the translations myself from the this mainpage. Wilson (talk) 11:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, well since the page isn't in translation, you won't be able to see it in that way. You need to individually check all the templates that are into translation. If you want the main to be in translation as well, I can do a thing and it is add translate wrappers without having anything in between them. The title of the page would be translatable but you can not track the translations of other templates on that page. Each page and each template needs to be checked out separately. I hope this helps. ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:10, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Ok @TheAafi, thank you. You have been very helpful. Also thank you for the translation in Urdu as well. Cheers! Wilson (talk) 11:40, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, I'm glad that I have been helpful. Please let me know whenever you need any assistance. I'm just a "ping" away... ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:23, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, my dear @Dezedien: has done this for you that I told you about an hour ago. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:27, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
However as I said, translations won't appear until you do some settings manually. Translation of complex pages is also complex. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
You're welcome Dezedien (talk) 13:28, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
the translation should be activated inside all templates - not easy but doable Dezedien (talk) 13:30, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@Dezedien, all templates are already in translation but the base page is tricky. Trancluding translated pages on translated pages is a bit difficult and as I said translations won't work on the base page in this case because I have set the base page with uselang={{int:lang}} settings. You need to remove that to make it workable. Otherwise it is fine to remain out of translation but it will appear in a user's preferred language (set in preferences) if any of the templates that are transcluded on it are translated. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:33, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@TheAafi and @Dezedien, i appreciate all of your interventions. But it is still very tricky. The language links on the base page do not reflect the translations from the transcluded templates still.
For instance, this is for French but you will notice that all of its content is still in English. Same thing with Arabic and Urdu. Wilson (talk) 13:41, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, do you want it work that way, or the way of "interface-language"? ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:42, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
I'd like it to be visible and accessible through buttons on the page. That way, i can be sure that everyone can see the translated copies. Wilson (talk) 13:46, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, I've done it that way. The translated pages should now contain translated transclusions. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:46, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
However, in this case, if the base page title is not translated into a certain language but its transcluded templates are translated, nothing will show up on the base page until it is translated as well. I can see this working now. See the fr translation. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:56, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
it's ok - work fine Dezedien (talk) 14:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
Great! Thank you. Now i can see that some of the templates are not fully marked as in the French example you shared. eg. VISUALLY CELEBRATE AFRICA ON WIKIPEDIA Wilson (talk) 13:59, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Wilson, fixed. This was missed earlier. ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Issue with File:Hunted_By_Elephants,_2022.jpg

Hello @TheAafi, thank you for receiving the release email and flagging this issue. The commissioned photographer has not published the image online, I'm unsure how to provide an associated location for an original publication. I will search for a fix, if you can can recommend a possible solution I would be grateful. Bjpcorp (talk) 01:37, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

@Bjpcorp, it is really not necessary to have anything published online. The photographer who has sent the release will be directed by the VRT agents towards a correct direction. That said, please also get your username changed as it does not appear to be inline with username policies of Wikimedia. ─ The Aafī (talk) 04:12, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Translation markers request

Hello @TheAafi, thanks for the other time.

If its not too much trouble, can you please help with this page also. Thank you again. Wilson (talk) 12:15, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

@OtuNwachinemere, did some bits but looks like I need a short sleep. Allow me sometime. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
@OtuNwachinemere, ✓ Done, however I have kept non-English stuff out of translation. It would be good if you change that to English so that these can be translated easily. ─ The Aafī (talk) 12:56, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

My request for adminship

Hello! I want to thank you for your participation and input in my recently failed request for adminship. I take every word everybody said in the most constructive way and it is my intention to not only do my best for Commons (as long as time and real life allows me to), but to continue learning and helping out whenever I can. I don't take your oppose vote as something negative, much on the contrary. Once again, thank you for your vote and I hope to see you again, collaborating around Commons. Have a good day. Bedivere (talk) 03:17, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Dear @Bedivere, that's also my intention, to continue learning and helping out whenever I can. I am hopeful that you will reconsider applying again after six months. I would be more than glad to support you then. ─ The Aafī (talk) 04:06, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Rollback right given

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Commons:Rollback. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Tulsi 24x7 03:40, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

File:António Costa 2017.jpg and File:António Costa- 2017 - Web Summit - 24778904087.jpg

Can you check what the VRT ticket says for File:António Costa- 2017 - Web Summit - 24778904087.jpg. It was added by a non-VRT member and the metadata seems to indicate a professional photographer and "all rights reserved" Abzeronow (talk) 18:19, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Abzeronow, the ticket says that Web Summit is the one that should be enquired about the permissions around the images taken by the photographer during Web Summit 2017 event. Ruthven has accepted the ticket. That's to say if the files are uploaded by Web Summit under a free license, the original creator has no problems with it. I reiterate that you should contact Web Summit Ltd regarding any subject related to those images. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:26, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

File:François Hollande - 2017 (27869823159).jpg
File:François Hollande - 2017 (39617330342).jpg
The ticket does not link any other file.
─ The Aafī (talk) 18:29, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
OK, I'll ask Ruthven about the ticket and if it could possibly apply to these files. I'll hold off on doing anything until then. Abzeronow (talk) 18:32, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
@Abzeronow, My opinion is yes, if these files come from the same event. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:34, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
OK, I guess that's something else I should look into. Those other files have the same photographer so I would agree that it's probably OK if these are from the same event. Abzeronow (talk) 18:20, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
Abzeronow, Yes, the same photographer and the same event. The ticket cannot be applied to any other image that does not fulfil this criteria. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:49, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Is modification on image and uploaded it on wiki violates copyright?

Dear,

There are so many discussions about my uploaded files. I just want to know if I edited or modified any taken photos as such that it looks so different from the original photo. Is that still considered copyright infringement or violation?

Scenario 1:

If that's the case, then how are youtube channels like Failarmy, KhilliBuzzChiru, chottochele, BadmasBipua, SSTroll and so on uploading others' Tiktok videos, Insta reels? Not only this but these YouTubers are trolling, abusing the original creators and using their videos they’re making money, and yes that too without permission.

Also, YouTubers like magicshowfootball, 6oonclassic, NinetyVirus, Football-Show, TeoCRi  kGZ, soccerprime697, J9Studio, AshStudio7, Score90 and so on are using live football matches videos with some edits on their channels. No! none of them are affiliated or associated or authorized with those tournaments or by fifa or by leagues. Some of them even have subscribers in millions and are also verified by youtube.

They literally making money with those videos so aren't they violating copyright?

Scenario 2:

Even many free images are also selling ”as it is” on photo selling sites like shutter stock, adobe stock. Need proof? Here are some of them:

Example 1: Where these same images are freely available (meaning free commercial license) in Pixabay 1, Pixabay 2, Pixabay 3 these are also available on photo selling site Alamy 1, Alamy 2, Alamy 3

Example 2: Where these same images are freely available (meaning free commercial license) in Pixabay 1, Pixabay 2  these are also available on photo-selling site Adobe Stock 1, Adobe Stock 2

Example 3: Where these same images are freely available (meaning free commercial license) in Pixabay 1, Pixabay 2, Pixabay 3 these are also available on photo selling site Shutter Stock 1, Shutter Stock 2, Shutter Stock 3

Example 4: Where this same image is freely available (meaning free commercial license) in Pixabay, it is also available on photo selling site Dreamstime

Note: All of them from Pixabay (The 2nd best free image source after Wiki) are either featured in the Editor's Choice or Outstanding by Pixabay which means it was reviewed rigorously by the team to choose if those are genuine or not.

As the photos are selling without the original author’s permission (yes, the Pixabay and photo selling owner are completely different - checked through their social medias and names) so aren't they violating copyright?

Scenario 3:

Even I got many promotional emails (as I subscribed) from “Trademark Factory” ( a company that registers copyrights and trademark like stuffs) is using others’ gifs in the emails. You may say ohh they are doing that because it’s meant for personal use. No! It’s not! Promotional emails are also a commercial asset and many are buying products from those email links. How can that be meant for personal use?

I got a image in my emali in which they’re using others' copyrighted materials (yes the below image not belongs to them):

That image was originally taken from the Buzzfeed

I have many of these. But due to laziness, I just mentioned one.

So aren’t they also violating?

Then you might say Youtube and Wikipedia are different at their field. But they originate from the same country "USA" and isn't the copyright law apply equally to them?

On the other hand, I just uploaded photos that were modified as such which makes totally different from the original photos. Where these YouTubers literally using others clips without permission and making money.

Where I just uploaded them for nonprofit - wiki and obviously want to help travelers. How? Because as most of them seek wikipedia for many travel related infos, if they get appropriate images with that it will be greatly helpful.

Even most of the news websites use others image just by citing the source. Is just citation enough to bypass the copyright and that too without permission?

My Intention:

To be honest, I have no bad intentions at all in uploading these images.

  1. I uploaded Belgharia Railway Station.png, Agarpara Railway Station.png, Barahat railway station.jpg, TEMPERATURE DANGER ZONE.jpg because there were no better images portraying the station/subject or the previously uploaded image were insufficient in portraying the station/subject.
  2. I uploaded Sealdah Station.jpg, because that will give better comparison between past and current view of sealdah station with the image  Sealdah Station (BOND 0481).jpg with the image Like this:
  1. I uploaded Eleta Kingsley.jpg because there was no other image of him.
  2. By uploading images on wiki, I really want to help travelers and people who are hungry for knowledge. Travelers will get appropriate images along with infos. Seriously I felt this too helpful and needed when I have gone through this situation while traveling to mnay places.

Modification:

Below I am mentioning the images I modified:

Agarpara Railway Station.png was modified originally from https://goo.gl/maps/eShLwydsyoN5Bifg6

Barahat railway station.jpg was modified originally from https://goo.gl/maps/gq4AVizsbd6oKDYV8

And the similar was done for the images Belgharia Railway Station.png, Eleta Kingsley.jpg, Sealdah Station.jpg, TEMPERATURE DANGER ZONE.jpg, Habra Railway Station.png (on these images collection from 3rd parties was involved but with modification)

But also note: Among my uploaded images 1) বন্ধু (Friends).png; 2) খাদ্যের গুনমান নির্দেশক.png 3) Old Sealdah Station.jpg the first two I completely own.

For 1) I am the photographer and the editor for this image. I reuploaded this (originally uploaded in 2020) because I uploaded it with my site’s name in the photo, caption, and even in the description. That’s why I  allow deleted the photo and again uploaded it. The pic was drawn on my finger and captured by me.

For 2) I edited this photo from the starting to finish by myself through photo editing software. So, yes in these 2 photos, no collection or source was made or any 3rd parties were involved. I completely own and photographed these.

For 3) It was already proven (though no way I ever claimed myself as the owner of that photo). It’s in the public domain and found on a 1900s postcard see the proof here.

In Short:

  1. Is modification on images violate copyright? Except for the 3 images বন্ধু (Friends).png; Old Sealdah Station.jpg; খাদ্যের গুনমান নির্দেশক.png simply delete those rest other files If modification still violates the copyright! If not, please keep them!
  2. I used modification on the image as such that it looks different from the original. Still people on the internet like youtubers, news agencies are using others images “As it is” and that too without permission. And they said they can use others as long as they cite others. Yes, I heard good YouTubers saying that citing images of others is enough: Source What? Is this called copyright? Just cite others and now you can use them? If that’s the thing then what is copyright? To what extent it can be used?

One more thing to ask: As per wiki CC4.0 stated Wikimedia images can be modified and used if it is distributed under the same share-alike license means CC4.0. I just want to ask if I use Wikimedia images as it is or modified in commercial blog posts or in any commercial writings, is this completely fine to use? Mean, is this copyright-free?

(I added many images while sending this same message to the VRT by email but as I can't add image here you can consider the sourced links)

Thank you, HridoyKundu (talk) 16:12, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

@HridoyKundu: The way serious copyright violations are dealt here; YouTube must be having a similar system but that's not realm of my work. I am not interested in YouTube and what constitutes a copyright violation there. All I can talk about is what is a copyright violation on Wikimedia Commons. To your last question, yes, you are allowed to use images available on Wikimedia Commons for both commercial and non-commercial purposes given that you comply with the license under which they have been uploaded.
The images in Google Maps aren't freely licensed and thus any altered/original version cannot be uploaded here until a permission is released by the copyright holder. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:18, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Sorry, as I have a major confusion and made a mistake on this. Then please consider deleting these files that I uploaded including:
Belgharia Railway Station.png, Eleta Kingsley.jpg, Sealdah Station.jpg, TEMPERATURE DANGER ZONE.jpg, Habra Railway Station.png, Agarpara Railway Station.png, Barahat railway station.jpg
But please don't delete the 3s: 1) বন্ধু (Friends).png; 2) খাদ্যের গুনমান নির্দেশক.png 3) Old Sealdah Station.jpg the first two I completely own.
For 1) I am the photographer and the editor for this image.

Hope I will not make this types of mistake again and remember the word you stated "The images in Google Maps aren't freely licensed and thus any altered/original version cannot be uploaded here until a permission is released by the copyright holder".
Thank you so much for giving your kind message! :) HridoyKundu (talk) 16:30, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi @HridoyKundu, thanks for taking my point. PD images (if proven) aren't deleted from here because they are consistent with the copyright policies. However, if you are asked to prove ownership of images that you claim are photographed by you, you should get in touch with the VRT team and verify that you are the original owner. It often happens when a legitimate photo-owner uploads a low quality image which leads others to doubt it originality. Best, ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Umm..How will I prove that if I deleted from my phone? HridoyKundu (talk) 17:08, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
@HridoyKundu: The VRT team will guide you accordingly. ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:11, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks...
"The images in Google Maps aren't freely licensed and thus any altered/original version cannot be uploaded here until a permission is released by the copyright holder" - you said I should I ask the permission from the original photographer but in google maps it's not showing any chatting or talking option with the user. What should I do now? HridoyKundu (talk) 17:25, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
@HridoyKundu: Google Maps does indicate who is the uploader of an image. You should try getting in touch with them and ask them to release the image by contacting VRT. Best, ─ The Aafī (talk) 17:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
Yes they indicate who is the uploader but Google maps don't give any chatting or conversation option to talk with that user that is the problem I am telling you. HridoyKundu (talk) 18:07, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
