Hi, Chuck. I noticed the bad link you put in this edit. Please see the title part of my AjaxDeleteExtraButtons at User:Jeff G./common.js and the discussion at User talk:Jeff G./Archives/2024/March#"Fixes".   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jeff,

I apologize for the mistake, and appreciate you reaching out. I don't see any kind of comment or note at the top of the ajax section in your common.js, but I assume the error has been fixed. I'll apply the edit to my common.JS after writing this response.

Thanks for the heads up!

All the best - Chuck ^Talk 22:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

What kind of comment or note were you expecting? The error is that Google doesn't support searchbyimage any more, and that was hardcoded into the buttons you added in this edit.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:48, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

you had referred to somthing being in the ajax title section your common.js, and I mis-interpreted your message. I thought there was a comment about the buttons there.

Ajax is not my strong suit.

File:Plage Paul Thomas 2.jpg

Hello, I think it must be an error on your part. Compare the photos carefully, this is a photo that I just took and not a copyright violation. Look at my history, you will see that it was taken at the same time as a whole series of other photos on this beach. I went there on purpose by canoe to take all these photos. Compare the waves carefully for example and you will see that they are not the same photos even if the angle used seems to have been the same. Sorry for this bad English, I use a translator because I speak very bad English. Sincerely. Enrevseluj (talk) 23:44, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

There is no metadata on the image, so I cannot confirm the image is yours. I would recommend sending an email to VRT and clearing it up with them.

All the best - Chuck ^Talk 01:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

I find VRT to be a better shortcut.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:39, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Batch upload of glyphs (IBM Plex)

Hi!

Do you know a technique where it is possible to upload several thousand files at once? I used UploadWizard, but it takes time, as you can only upload 500 files per upload process.

Thanks! --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 07:48, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Based on a quick search and my (limited) knowledge of mass file movement, your options are an upload bot or a server-side upload.

Thank you :) --PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 16:18, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Deletion requests

Hi, Do not create deletion requests for simple design such as File:Atlanta1944.webp. Please read COM:TOO. Thanks, Yann (talk) 20:10, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

I didn't create the DR. someone uploaded a batch of historical logos for a football club, and I used VFC to mass tag them under F1 (source). In that I missed 1 as pd-old, and this one under TOO. Sorry for the mistake.

Charlie Kirk Photo

Why did you request a deletion request when it is me in the photo I took with Charlie Kirk today? I just cropped myself out so it could be on him. That photo is literally Charlie Kurk and not me. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 22:13, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Also, how do I not have global contributions when I edit on Wikimedia Commons, Enwiki, Simple Wiki, Spanish Wiki, and so on? Shoot for the Stars (talk) 22:15, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I am the wrong person to answer that question, I would recommend the Help Desk.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 22:19, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

We need permission from Charlie Kurk, regardless of if you removed yourself. We need proof of him consenting for his image to be released under a compatible licence, preferably in the form of an email sent to VRT.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 22:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

I am so confused. All the photos that people have taken of others need permission like this too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shoot for the Stars (talk • contribs) 22:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Please remember to sign your comments with 4 tide marks (like on en wiki), and yes, they do.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 22:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Photos taken of a person require that persons consent and proof of that consent should be emailed to VRT. I hope that clears things up.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 22:30, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, F10 is not intended to be used for photographs of notable people like Charlie Kirk, and the photograph is in use at English Wikipedia. Additionally, this has EXIF data indicating it was taken from a cellular phone camera and it has not been previously published. In the United States, you don't need permission to take or publish a photograph of a person in a public space. I can add {{Personality rights}} to it though. Abzeronow (talk) 22:55, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification! (The F10 was added pre-crop.)

File:John Larch in The Loretta Young Show (Christmas Stopover).jpg

Hi Chuck. Could you please expand on why this wasn't PD? I think it would only be copyrighted if the copyright was renewed, and I can't find a renewal--did you? (Let me know if you'd like me to undelete so you can see it again; Túrelio deleted while I was looking at the renewal database.) Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I didn't find a renewal, but I also could barely find anything other than ebay listings for the box sets. I tagged under the assumption that CBS (as a major network) would renew the copyright when needed, and due to aformentioned box sets being published after 1961, copyright gets foggy.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 20:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Looks like the digitization of records from the timeframe is unfinished, explaining why it isn't in the database.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 20:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Got it, thanks. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:11, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

No Problem!

RE: Block request for User:Metrolinktrains

Hello, Chuck! I saw I've been flagged for "Username containing a commercial trademark." I apologize for any missteps as I try to navigate this platform. I've been tasked by my work with updating an outdated logo referenced in an infobox here (among several other places) and am trying to figure out how to take the old icon as uploaded in 2017, located here, and change the "symbol = Metrolink" to be the new icon which I've attempted to upload today, located here.

I apologize for any chaos that I've caused. Are you able to push me in the right direction so I can achieve this icon revision?

Thanks, Brett Metrolinktrains (talk) 20:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Please read this essay about paid editors and send an email to VRT asking for next steps. Your username is against policy because it is just the name of the company, implying a shared account. Shared accounts are against Commons's username/account policy, as well as almost every other Wikimedia project. Trying to make any changes on the English Wikipedia with your current username will result in a very prompt block and explanation of their paid editor policy. I would recommend talking to your company's legal team about your logo's copyright status before emailing VRT.

All the best -- Chuck ^Talk 21:08, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll make the necessary requests for username change and review the necessary information before contacting VRT. Metrolinktrains (talk) 21:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
