I have reverted your edit here. Significant changes in our understanding of the law need to be discussed on the talk page before changing the guidance that we all use.

Synapsids of the Morrison Formation

I'm considering filing a lawsuit if the deletion process for "Synapsids of the Morrison Formation" goes through.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Falconfly (talk • contribs) .

Hello.
Could you (or other Spanish speakers) petition Julio Lacerda for releasing rights directly, bypassing Falconfly? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:23, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Uploading online public domain photos of paintings

Hello Geoff, I have created an article John James Wilson (painter) who died in 1875, and I would like to add some images of his work. Some examples are on the following web sites.

BFP1BFP1 (talk) 18:36, 11 February 2018 (UTC) Sorry. I should have addressed you as Jeff!BFP1BFP1 (talk) 18:46, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

@BFP1: You may upload those images using our {{PD-Art}} exception, with license "{{PD-Art|PD-old-auto-1923|deathyear=1875}}". You may also consider removing the extra "BFP1" from the beginning of your signature, as it is disconcerting.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 19:36, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Jeff. The problem is as a beginner I do not know how to use {{PD-Art}} and do not understand your reference to etc. Also, I will happily remove the extra BFP1 if you indicate how. Please be patient with me. BFP1BFP1 (talk) 20:07, 11 February 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BFP1 (talk • contribs) 20:03, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

@BFP1: Please pay no attention to the nowikis, they were just used to keep from expanding the license on this page (sort of like using the curtain to disguise The Wizard of Oz), just use what's inside the quotes. Re your sig, please read Template:Please sign.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 20:14, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Undeletion Request

hi Mr. Jeff, I am writing because I would like to discuss with you the question of 'user a1cb3, because I really can not understand his absolute bad faith in the deleted files, in fact in the last request made I had also included the source of the file , with all the necessary information, I would like to ask you above all to you that you do not trust these files, I would just like to get a way out of this situation until you know the structure of those files, portraits, paintings and photographs of the era, and of all this you can use the PD license. I await your response, good work--87.8.134.11 16:33, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Hey anonymous user. Jeff G. is not an administrator so he can't help you there. It is best for you to head over to COM:AN to ask. Artix Kreiger (talk) 16:36, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Code issues in User:Jeff G./common.js

Hi Jeff G., I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

1. You edited User:Jeff G./common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
2. Though, that change appears to introduce 5 new jshint issues — the page's status is now having ERRORS. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

1. ISSUE: line 30 character 21: Expected '}' to match '{' from line 25 and instead saw 'talk_tag'. - Evidence: 'talk_tag': '{'+'{subst:speedynote|1=%FILE%|2=%PARAMETER%}}',

Re: File:Tunyuan Trailhead.jpg

I received the message you left on my talk page. Why do you think it is a canvassing? I saw you didn't answer my question on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Tunyuan Trailhead.jpg, so what do you want me to do?--Kai3952 (talk) 10:51, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

File:Welcomebanner.gif

Hi Jeff. You're a Commons guy, (remember Kendra Haste?) I've just gone to a lot of trouble redesigning the Welcomebanner.gif and uploaded the new. So the new does actually exist but it shows on my talk page as the old, (as also above). yet when I click on the damn thing it displays the new. Wtf. I expect you have the wherewithal to kill the old version, I will be very grateful. Mark^Dask 17:37, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Request

Hi,

Can upload urdu logo like english (link)— Bukhari (Talk!) 06:20, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@BukhariSaeed: I think so, but try to find the highest resolution SVG version you can (maybe in a PDF) per COM:HR, and tag it with {{PD-textlogo}} and {{Trademarked}}.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:17, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

I do not know how to download. Can you upload this? — Bukhari (Talk!) 11:25, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@BukhariSaeed: Can you at least find a PDF with the logo you want and specify where the logo is on what page? I can't read Urdu. I guess it would go in the infobox on ur:کلیسیائے یسوع مسیح برائے مقدسین آخری ایام.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:36, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Can you give me your mail so i'll send you. — Bukhari (Talk!) 12:15, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

No, it is not on web. BTW you got a mail. Please Check. — Bukhari (Talk!) 12:21, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Unbundle block from sysops

Hello.
I propose the following plan. First, we press for creation of the new “blockers” user group having the built-in block right, but with a policy restricting its use only for suspected socks and “blatantly obvious” cases otherwise. The second stage could be replacement of the generic block with some technically restricted revision (such as can’t block sysops, other blockers, “sufficiently trusted” accs…). Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:36, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Incnis Mrsi, post it on com:VPP. Artix Kreiger (talk) 21:22, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger: Good idea.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 05:34, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

I created Commons:Blockers, a draft policy. If there are no obvious corrections, then we may come forth with it. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:27, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

@Incnis Mrsi: I edited it, maybe more later.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:47, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
