Hi Cirt, in case you hadn't seen it, 2 of your ogv-uploads have been tagged for speedy. --Túrelio (talk) 10:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Most certainly NOT speedy = as it is a video by a former very high ranking member of the organization, about the organization's key practices. It is within scope as it can be linked to from relevant articles on associated projects. -- Cirt (talk) 11:29, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I need your help[edit]

Hi, I am truly sorry for spamming your talk page previously, It is a very urgent situation. And you are a very experienced administrator here and at the en.Wikipedia, and you are also a member of the OTRS members, so I guess you can be very helpful regarding the discussion that is going on the Wikiproject medicine talk page, the discussion is very critical and regarding a very important subject that we don't have a clear policy about, its Patient images. So I please you to join the discussion and tell us what do you think. By the way there are about 25000 medical images that are donated and waiting upload to the commons, an the only thing stopping that is this discussion, so please join us there, so maybe we can reach to a policy soon. Thank you and sorry again :-) MaenK.A.Talk 11:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is plenty of discussion over there and I read it and am satisfied with the ongoing process, and I will defer to those already commenting in that discussion. -- Cirt (talk) 15:46, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rimessa ferroviaria di Pistoia[edit]

Before bothering the OTRS people, I would like to ask you: who is the author is this photo? Was it really the photographer who released this image? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 15:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The owner and copyright holder of the work is Miles Fisher, who released it under the license "PUBLIC DOMAIN", and this is confirmed per COM:OTRS. The author, Erwinfletcher, had initially released it as "PUBLIC DOMAIN" (self), on English Wikipedia. -- Cirt (talk) 15:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Per COM:OTRS, Miles Fisher is the sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the work. -- Cirt (talk) 16:04, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Puzzling. First Erwinfletcher says that he made this picture in South-Africa, and that he has the power to release rights. And then subject claims that he has the rights, and releases it. Via mail directly to OTRS? And Erwinfletcher also uploads images of the subject taken at Harvard. Is there a straightforward explanation? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:13, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The explanation is that Miles Fisher is the owner and copyright holder of the picture, and has been confirmed via COM:OTRS as releasing the picture with the license "PUBLIC DOMAIN". Nothing more is needed. Free-use status is confirmed. -- Cirt (talk) 16:14, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I will ask the OTRS people to look into this. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The OTRS people already looked into this. And confirmed it. As "public domain". Your continued disruption on this issue is a waste of the community's time. Especially with regard to files already confirmed as free-use per COM:OTRS. -- Cirt (talk) 16:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the e-mails on OTRS. The permissions seems to be valid for me. Raymond 16:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry about the mess[edit]

Hi Cirt!

As I’m sure you have noticed the dispute between Pieter and you have turned into one messy debate. Some even said that they are sorry to see that someone “drag Cirt through the mud, and make him run the gauntlet, is disgusting”. I would not be surprised if someone (and perhaps you?) thinks that I’m one of those people.

I hope you know that my intention is not to spank you in any way. If you look at my first comment I suggested that you checked your uploads and Pieter gave you some peace to do your work. If you and the other admins had said “Ok” I would have had no problem if Pieter was blocked for not respecting that deal.

Things did not go that way and some said that there was nothing wrong with your uploads and if there was it was only one file. If it was correct that it was only one bad file I would also have no problem if Pieter was blocked for nominating your images for deletion with no reason.

As you have noticed I also said that uploading a few bad files is not a problem – sadly I have done that myself. So I’m not trying to get you punished or mocked for these uploads.

I also tried to get a compromise recently where you checked your uploads and Pieter was told to leave you alone for a while. So I think that I did try to end this.

My interest is 1) that we find and fix bad files in a good way and if anyone finds a way of doing that that does not involve Pieter I would be happy to support that way and 2) that Pieter is not spanked more than he deserves. I think that a block for one month is too long but sadly the only defense left I can think of includes a debate regarding your uploads.

No matter what I hope you will be able to smile after all in this weekend. --MGA73 (talk) 12:17, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially I agree with this comment [3] by Bastique (talk · contribs). -- Cirt (talk) 21:47, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I saw that you moved files from category:views of streets in Shenzhen to category:streetscapes in Shenzhen. Thanks for that, I wanted to do it with "cat-a-lot" but I don't manage to use it. However the files don't seem to appear in the right category. Is there any problem ?--Zolo (talk) 09:51, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok sorry for disturbing you, it seems to work right now, I don't know what has changed. (by the way if you know why I can't use cat a lot I'm still interested. When I select multiple file, it works with the first one but does nothing with the others) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zolo (talk • contribs) 09:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inquiry by Erik Warmelink[edit]

Subsection was previously titled: "Slander"

Hi, Cirt, you showed your US (lack of) education around 30 times today. A muslim doesn't depict people (even the theofages have "You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth"). Erik Warmelink (talk) 17:06, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See the index page, Muhammad. See also the en.wikipedia article, en:Depictions of Muhammad, specifically the subsection, Depiction by Muslims. Thanks. -- Cirt (talk) 17:07, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The index page and en.wikipedia aren't reliable sources. Erik Warmelink (talk) 08:15, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Check again. The en.wikipedia page does have reliable sources cited in it. -- Cirt (talk) 10:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It has sources, but those sources don't support your claims. For example, please show the source which confirms http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Muhammad_6.jpg&diff=39010721. Erik Warmelink (talk) 15:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well from that one we have the source description on the image page. -- Cirt (talk) 15:36, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Could you quote, please? The description (Mohammed at Medina, from an Arab or central Asian (Mongolian, Moghul) medieval-era manuscript.) doesn't claim a muslim author and is unsourced, http://www.zombietime.com/ is just a black propaganda website, see for example http://www.zombietime.com/botero_abu_ghraib/ which is an attempt to play down the US warcrimes.

Thank you in advance. --yabancım 09:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you[edit]

I have learned something new today, that all CC lisenses are not all free content to the standard of the commons. It's an enlightening experience. ResidentAnthropologist (talk) 20:45, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Daily Show image[edit]

Why? The cropped version gives more space to the two figures, which means that in the thumbnail version, they become more easily visible in the two Wikipedia articles in which the photo is used. Nightscream (talk) 19:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You say it is a customary practice, but is there an explicit guideline to this effect? I personally don't see why there would be an option to upload an edited version over the original on each original's page? I've uploaded a few touched-up versions here and there when the original was just plain awful, as with the image of Grace Park in her article's Infobox. I can't imagine why anyone would need to keep the original. I've also uploaded loads of edited versions of images I myself took. Is this okay, or does the same point apply?

Can you answer my questions?
As for the tool, you don't have to repeat the bit about the tool, as you already mentioned it in your previous message, and I was aware of it prior to then as well. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 08:21, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And I have responded by questioning the legitimacy of your assertions, and provided my rationale for doing so, which included legitimate questions that call them into question. For your part and Tabercil's, you have responded with A. repeated evasion of my quite-reasonable questions, in your case, B. employing a repetition of your original message that I perceived as possibly condescending--moreso in light of your most recent message, in which you have not only persisted in this, but with a tone that was even less polite than before.

Because you have not answered any of my polite questions in this matter, and have refused to point to any policy or guideline page supporting your viewpoint (even complicating this assertion by referring to the procedure you insist upon as a "personal preference"), and acted as if your statements are dogmatic, I am less inclined to take them at face value now than when you first contacted me. I will continue to investigate the matter of uploading alternate versions of images with other experienced contributors here, and conduct my future activities here accordingly. I will also report your behavior to the appropriate administrative areas as well. Nightscream (talk) 00:15, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Caricatures of politicians of the United States[edit]

  1. Cleaned up this category.

Category:Political cartoons of the United States[edit]

  1. This category currently has over 180 pages in it.
  2. Could be improved by sub-categorization.
  3. Perhaps sorting through classification by century, for example, Category:1700s political cartoons of the United States, etc.
  4. Posted to category creator, Wst (talk · contribs), and waiting a bit for feedback.
  5. Probably will go ahead and begin process of sub-categorization of this category, by chronological order method.

Hi. Let me redraw your attention to Commons naming conventions; "1900s" refers to the decade; the century is "20th century" (or as some pedants insist, "20th-century" when in adjective form). Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 19:19, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've cleaned up & recategorized the images for the "1700s" "1800s" and "2000s" (apparently miscategorized by century rather than decade). I've just redirected Category:1900s political cartoons of the United States to Category:20th-century political cartoons of the United States until at least most of the images in the cat are somewhere more specific. Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 20:27, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I have the Category:1900s political cartoons of the United States cleaned up now, I think. -- Infrogmation (talk) 21:47, 18 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
