Refill logs me out

Hi Jeff G. since the ReFill tool recently logs users out, I was wondering if there is a possibility to find out which Admins are able to redact IP-addresses globally. Users make use of the ReFill too to reassure privacy in the first place I guess. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 07:15, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

@Lotje: Sorry, the only people who can help with this are local Admins and Oversighters (for larger projects), Global Sysops (for smaller projects), and Stewards.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:12, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

​ I guess these are the stewards you are referring to? Thnks. Lotje (talk) 14:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

@Lotje: Yes.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 09:37, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Edinburgh Wolves

Hello Jeff. The images are all owned by the club. Any guidance will be much appreciated as I'm brand new to all of this. Regarding the images i tried to upload, I simply tried to use the snipping tool to upload some of the graphics that are bit older from the club. I have images of a larger file size i hope will be okay to use too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PDWolves (talk • contribs) 17:36, 8 April 2020‎ (UTC)

@PDWolves: Please have an authorized representative of the club send permission for those files via OTRS. Pinging @EugeneZelenko as first interested Admin.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 00:55, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, OTRS is a must in such cases. Deleted file included logos of other clubs, so all of them must give permissions. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 01:13, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko: Thanks!   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 01:16, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello Eugene and Jeff. I have emailed permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with permission from the club to use the images. I hope this is sufficient. Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by PDWolves (talk • contribs) 13:07, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Editing photos

When I was originally editing photos. I passed 100 edits and started adding categories. I know something changed. ALSO. I need to find out how to delete categories. For about 8 years I have worked on Grand Canyon & Arizona Utah geology. SOOO,,,, I want to start cleaning up categories that I created so long ago. ( And later refined ). I now have more time to devote to Grand C. articles / photos.McAnnis59 (talk) 18:10, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

@McAnnis59: Please see COM:DP#Categories.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 05:02, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

HAMDANI888X's edits

Hello! I have stumbled upon these edits by User:HAMDANI888X. I have reverted most of them, since I think it's a vandalism. Could you look a bit more into it, please? I noticed you've already given him/her a warning, but those latter edits went unnoticed it seems. --GeXeS (talk) 16:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

@GeXeS: I gave the user a stronger warning and reported them to COM:ANV#HAMDANI888X.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 17:41, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

User talk:Crandall

@Jeff G.: Hey Jeff G.! Got the message on not posting promo, etc. Was this a blanket notification or a result of something I did? Just checking. I had only uploaded a picture to an existing page but didn't think it was anything promotional. Thanks! Crandall (talk) 15:09, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Crandall: It seemed you were trying to promote a photo of yourself as Cosmo the Cougar in 1992 at the WAC Basketball Championship on the en:Cosmo the Cougar or en:Brigham Young University page or elsewhere, and I doubt your "own work" claim. There is no need to ping me on this page.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:59, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
