Thanks for uploading File:Fe2(CO)9yesFeFe.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

File:Vial with triethylmethyl ammonium chloride horizontal.png

Hi, DMacks

This file is used in the English Wikipedia page Triethylmethylammonium trichloride. It is yellow liquid when forming the polychloride, as written in the article. Is there a typo in the file name?

Regards,

Leiem (talk) 08:46, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Good catch! It does appear to be a mistake in the filename (of both this derivative-image and the original image). Do you have the permission-flag to fix it? I can deal with it later today/tonight if it needs any admin tools. DMacks (talk) 14:49, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

I have requested file renaming. --Leiem (talk) 06:42, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

And it's been done. I adjusted the files' description text likewise. DMacks (talk) 12:29, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! --Leiem (talk) 15:30, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Amurensine image deletion

Hello Passionate Wikipedia User,

I appreciate your proof checking my diagram of Amurensine and finding the errors that I was unaware of. What I would prefer in the future is if you see an error in one of my images, to request a corrected version be uploaded. I am now going to correct the mistake, make a new WikiCommons image, and re-upload it. Also, since the deletion, the page has been without 3D structure image, which detracts from the user experience. Both in terms of operational smoothness in collaboration and avoiding administrative inefficiencies, a request for correction that is actioned through an updated version is preferable to deletion of content with errors.

Thank you for your contributions and your patience in granting my requests audience.

Cheers,

Marco (Planine) Troiani Mplanine (talk) 21:27, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Marco,

I agree that fixes, especially simple ones, are useful, and that it's important that uploaders are given a heads-up about problems prior to deletion. I disagree that "having a 3D image in an article" is worthwhile if the image is factually flawed, so I think it's better to remove a mistake from an article until a correct one becomes available (easy enough to re-add).

For this specific situation, I was only acting on the nomination by someone else. As part of the nomination, a note was left on your talkpage that an image of yours was up for deletion, and with a link to the nomination where the problem was mentioned. If it were to have been fixed within that week+, I would have put the deletion on hold and asked the nominator to re-evaluate it. DMacks (talk) 01:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Iranian political posters

Category : Poster of Lying media 

The content in question does not intend to sabotage or threaten or attack, and G3's reason does not include its content. This content is related to Iranian political posters made by famous artists. If you don't know about the politics in Iran, avoid deleting the desired content. Wikipedia bureaucrats are expected to be careful in choosing administrators. Please restore the desired category and content Safdhberbh (talk) 08:06, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

• Category:Poster of Lying media

The content appears to violate the licensing terms of the source website. That has nothing to do with what the content itself. No matter how famous someone might be, their work is their own by default. Were these posters actually first published at least 30 years ago? The category name is needlessly biased/inflammatory, assuming "lying" is the simple word that means "not telling the truth". With no content (all images in it failed license review), that itself is enough reason to delete the category. With a poorly chosen name, that's a separate problem. DMacks (talk) 08:17, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Each country's copyright and ownership laws are unique and different from other countries. By the way, you are not the manager of Farsi language, how can you manage or apply the law about the laws or their violation? It seems that you are not familiar with the term limits! If you were to enter the content of users of other countries and other live and official languages, you would not violate the rules of Wikipedia.

Some of the details in these posters are from 30 years ago and were artistically combined with other works. The name of the category in my country is completely correct according to the Islamic Penal Code, and the content of this category, which includes political posters, refers to the media that are dealing with the crimes of these lying media in international courts. It is better that you do not enter into this matter so that your account will not be sued in international courts. You removed the category too soon and did not allow the permission to be added and completed in detail in the content description.

Please be more careful in the refinements and return the deleted categories and subcategories and contents. Safdhberbh (talk) 09:35, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

I do not respond to legal threats. Have a nice day. DMacks (talk) 09:40, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Do not apply the law in categories that are not related to your country of residence. Safdhberbh (talk) 10:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

I do not respond to users who make legal threats. You are not welcome on my talkpage. DMacks (talk) 10:20, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Removal of Help Desk question

Hi, in this edit you removed my unresolved/unanswered Help Desk question "Categorisation of locations" that was only just four days old. I think this is too soon. ITookSomePhotos (talk) 18:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Yes, something weird happened in my browser. I had already fixed it (Commons:Help desk#Categorisation of locations is right back where it had been). Sorry about the transient mess! DMacks (talk) 18:45, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

OK, thanks. ITookSomePhotos (talk) 08:47, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Wrong reason(s)?

Regarding your deletion of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_Photoshop_2022_auf_MacOS.png

The reason given for deletion was F3. Derivative work of non-free content. The sample image used is free (and regarding the license tags refer to the discussion) and using a Photoshop screenshot is possible. Your reason could only apply to, let's say, if I'd used a screenhot of a getty image or maybe even the Photoshop splash screen which usually includes an artwork. Please revert the deletion and keep it up for discussion – or start deleting all of the screenshots floating around commons. Affegass (talk) 10:16, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Did you not see I already un-deleted it an merged a discussion of it into the other one where you commented? DMacks (talk) 10:18, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm really sorry, it was a bad case of editing simultaneously. I just got the notification and I wasn't aware of your answer while I was typing here. Would be much easier if the system could alert faster or give a hint at one's online status. My bad! Sorry sorry sorry Affegass (talk) 10:25, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

No worries at all. Things here "sort of, usually, eventually" work. DMacks (talk) 14:36, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

a3cb1 again

Good morning mr. @DMacks. I would like to inform you that a3cb1 has been reincarnated in Eniedgrad. I'm reviewing that the files he/she is uploading are PD both in the source country and the US and, if I find a copyvio, I would inform you. Greetings. 83.61.243.178 11:48, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

I nominated one of its files to revision, because it was probably still copyrighted. 83.61.243.178 12:16, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Indef'ed. Thanks for helping to keep track of this. DMacks (talk) 15:31, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks to you DMacks. Greetings. 83.61.243.178 17:54, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

@DMacks: Now Eniedgrad is writting me anonimously asking me to not review his/her files (calling it "spying"). It's possible also to block this IP?. 83.61.243.178 00:17, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

@DMacks: Now this user had been created a new account: Bikeguy12. Please block him and delete all the uploads. 83.61.243.178 12:59, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

What is "UPE" and "CU"?

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=333317510 Jmabel ! talk 00:09, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

en:WP:UPE is "undisclosed paid editing", a behavior that is strictly against Terms of Service on all wikimedia sites. en:WP:CU is "checkuser", a tool a few functionaries on various wikipedias can use to find out certain technical details of accounts and IPs. Dealing with this particular pool of abusing accounts took a bunch of coordinated digging by several admins and functionaries on multiple sites, so I'd rather not discuss too many of the specicics on-wiki, but feel free to email me if you'd like. Obviously general ideas of the tools and policies are fine for public discussion, as are initial notice if you have substantive concerns about my actions themselves.

Hair 1

The copyright for this File:Hair 1.jpg and this File:Hair 2.png photo belongs to me because I took the photo. The copyright in the photo belongs to the photographer, not to the person in the photo. By osipov (talk) 21:51, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi By osipov. Thanks for the explanation. I have revived those two images and started a discussion with an explanation of what the situation seems to be and how you can procede. DMacks (talk) 23:17, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

File:Le Petit Parisien - UNE JOURNÉE DANS LES RUINES DE SMYRNE - 28.09.1922.png

Hello DMacks how can I make sure that an image not violating the copyright. As the source is from a Newspaper and I have given the source and the author of the article. Moreover it is already a content that is 100 years old. I look forward to your help. Utku Öziz (talk) 09:35, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Utku Öziz. The fact that author fr:Georges Vitoux died in 1933 is more significant than the age of the article itself. The main public domain in France seems to be "70+ years after author's death". The concern that originally came to my attenion was that the newspaper isn't published by you originally so you cannot claim to hold copyright on this scan of it. Thanks for letting me know the details so I could look more deeply. I have un-deleted it and updated the license tag. DMacks (talk) 06:19, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello @DMacks I also thank you very much for your concern! I am a bit new in Commons and copyright laws. Also When I publish a picture it automatically says that it is own work. I change them usually after thus I might cause a misunderstanding very sorry about that. I might also ask more questions to you about these topics! I look forward to your help! Do we have like Wikipedia 101 or Wikipedia Commons 101 videos? I will also publish some newspapers in other languages. I look forward to your help in that too! However some Newspapers have parts that we do not know who the authors are. Also, there are some cases where we know the author but we do not know their date of death etc. So for topics like this. Have a great day! Utku Öziz (talk) 10:37, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Possible block evasion?

Hello DMacks, I would like to inform you that there is a new user whose contributions are similar to that made by the LTA user a3cb1 and their sockpuppets. Please consider to review those contributions to confrim this and, if it is possible, to block them as soon as possible. Thank you and greetings. 193.146.182.120 11:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of File:Tết trồng cây.jpg

Hello DMacks, I saw that you deleted the file File:Tết trồng cây.jpg on Wiki Media because of "copyright violation", however, the regarded photo was taken 60+ years ago as a set of photos by a government agency in Vietnam, and I believe that it is fully in public domain since the set of photos was published by the government for public usage. The institution you quoted is also not the copyright owner. Could you restore the photo? Faragona (talk) 06:49, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the additional information. I restored it and sent it to a regular deletion-request discussion, where I copied your above comment. You're welcome to add more there, and others might also have thoughts. DMacks (talk) 16:45, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

User:BoulevardBowl27

Not sure why you indef-blocked User:BoulevardBowl27. I'd given then a warning, and if I'd blocked it probably would have been for a week or two. They seem to do quite a bit of good work nominating pictures for deletion that, indeed, ought to be deleted. They recently made a few disruptive edits; I warned them to stop; I don't see any continuation of disruptive edits after warning. - Jmabel ! talk 18:09, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

[1] is DR-nom of a page that was already tagged for speedy for the same reason. "Warned not to do that, apologized. Did it multiple times again, warned again, apologized. Did it again, blocked." Based on their edits to their user-talk subsequent to the block, I am confident that your assessment of "troll" is too generous, and that an indef is the correct response.

Some help

Hey, I pinged you over on my talk page about some questions related to the FOP policy, but just in case you may have missed it I thought I would notice you about it on your talk page.

Aside from that question, I was also wondering if you would be able to help me with my courtesy deletion request of these two files. I've detailed the reasons why I'm requesting a courtesy deletion on the deletion request discussions that I've linked. I wont provide a huge chunk of text as to why I believe it checks out the criteria over at Commons:Courtesy deletions (unless that'd help), but I do indeed it clears that criteria even if imperfectly. In any case, thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide. Soulbust (talk) 09:29, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
