Self-promotion?

Hi Jeff G. would you take a look at these files? Looks like self-promotion to me. Thank you for your time. :-) Lotje (talk) 12:28, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Help Desk

So, I'm guessing my ping at the help desk didn't work. Do you think you could respond to my further question there? The thread was entitled "flickr image taken before 1925 marked as copyright." Thanks in advance! --Ghinga7 (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ghinga7: Sorry, I'm not ignoring you, I just can't get to Tineye on this machine and I've lost power and I am not comfortable making such a recommendation without them.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 03:26, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
@Ghinga7: Ok, power's back. I uploaded it for you as File:SS Graf Waldersee.jpg, please categorize it further.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 04:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Thanks Jeff! I didn't think you were ignoring me, just thought my ping was formatted wrongly somehow. There are a couple others on flickr I'd like to add of this ship that have the wrong license; to be clear, would I just be able to upload them? Sorry for having to ask so many questions, I'm not very active on commons. Thanks for all your help!--Ghinga7 (talk) 15:23, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
@Ghinga7: You're welcome. Which others?   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 16:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, she will send a permission statment soon! As I stated: The picture quality is not changable! This is the best quality. Her Phone is very bad, also she doesnt have any social media/websites to proof or get any better pictures! if you have any questions let me know! --Atabozkurt612 (talk) 14:58, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
@Atabozkurt612: Thanks, please advise me of the ticket number to keep me in the loop.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 15:14, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

@Jeff G. Here is the ticket number: Ticket#2020081210009667 best regards --Atabozkurt612 (talk) 19:43, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

@Atabozkurt612: Thanks, but she neglected to carbon copy you or send any original file.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 23:06, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jeff.G! She carbon copied my email adress instead of my Username, we will fix that later ( because of time differences she is probably asleep right now). Like we try to explain: This is the original file she send you. We would love to use another picture with better quality, but this is not possible anymore (because of obvious reasons). Is there any other way to verify that this picture is hers/mine? Also I think it would be good if we delete those two book covers, because the copyright holder is probably the publisher and not the autor! Thank you very much. --Atabozkurt612 (talk) 07:50, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

@Atabozkurt612: You're welcome. It is good that she carbon copied your email address, I did not know that address at that time, but I do now in Ticket:2020081210009667. What time zones do the two of you use?   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 11:56, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Jeff! Im using the Central European Time, while she uses the Central Standard Time, because like I said: She is the daughter of Sergio Custodio, so she is living in Guatemala. Im living in central Europe. Best wishes! --Atabozkurt612 (talk) 13:18, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Movie poster files deleted

Hi Jeff G, I recently uploaded some film posters to use as the image for a couple of pages that I created and you deleted them due to copyright issues. Forgive me as I am new to uploading photos here but I thought I was following the format that other Wikipedia/media users follow when uploading movie posters that they do not have the right to. Is there a specific way to upload movie poster images a correct way or do I somehow need to get permission from the creators? Thanks for your help! Hidden Hills Editor (talk) 13:56, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

@Hidden Hills Editor: Hi, and welcome. If you want to upload high resolution movie poster images here on Wikimedia Commons, please see Commons:Licensing for why we can't accept movie poster images of others, and have the image designer(s), photographer(s), or producer(s) post Commons:Licensing compliant permission for such work on their website or social media presence or send the image and permission via OTRS. Low resolution movie posters on English Wikipedia (there called "film posters") were uploaded there for Fair Use subject to en:WP:F. We do not accept Fair Use files here on Wikimedia Commons. en:Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard gives four options for uploading directly on that project: Click here to start the Upload Wizard on top in the middle; en:Wikipedia:Files for upload:Files for upload process; Plain form for local uploads; and Old guided form (the latter three in the right column under "Wikipedia").   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 19:17, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Regarding your adminship

Hello @Jeff G.: You are an amazing person and very helpful for newcomers. You should be an admin irrespective of what the community decide on the RFA. You helped me regarding the mistake which I did, you guiding me. Keep up the good work, stay safe. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 04:39, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Cautionary principle

Hello, Jeff. I know you linked it before, but I do not remember exactly and cannot find it in the moment – which is the page speaking about the cautionary principle? — Speravir – 21:53, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

@Speravir: Hi. That would be Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle, with a bunch of incoming redirects.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 02:17, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Oh yes, Thank you! Though you usually use one of the shortcuts. :-) — Speravir – 02:41, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Side remark why I asked this: In COM:VP there is a question for license reviewing of Youtube sourced stuff. I took a quick look in subcategory YouTube videos review needed and think a lot of these should be deleted for personality reasons and – the precautionary principle. I wanted to write an answer, but not without the links. — Speravir – 02:41, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
@Speravir: You're welcome. Of the 13, I am most fond of the ones I made, pcp and prp, and I was alternating between them to ward off Jcb's propensity to delete unused redirects. COM:PRP and COM:PCP are mentioned on the page proper. I generally don't have time to review videos.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 02:53, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Me, too. I do this only occasionally, on request or when I accidentally come along like the Blender video we will see in some days as MOTD. — Speravir – 03:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Delete because of out of scope?

Hi, Jeff G., I was wondering if you could take a look at these images, seem out of scope to me. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 14:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jeff G., would you take a look at these images? Seem to be out of scope and related to a userpage only. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 06:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

@Lotje: I tagged most of them, and started Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Cody Maverick for the rest.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 13:10, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jeff G. strange filename i.m.o. Do you have any idea what it is all about, and how it could be properly categorized? Thank you for your time Lotje (talk) 15:23, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

@Lotje: It appears to be a list, in gallery form, of filenames Jameslwoodward was trying to delete in May, but which escaped the attention of CommonsDelinker. Don't worry about it.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 16:13, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Will you advise me about my problem?

Hello,

What can I do about A.Savin? I'm not supposed to post on his page per the advice of AFBorchert as it upsets him to much because he is not allowed to block me. I hate to report him again to per the dispute resolution link. The first time I did, some other Admins wanted to desop A.Savin. They told him he could not ever block me because he is too involved personally. The second time I reported him, A.Savin petitioned to have me blocked, another Admin got desopped for blocking A.Savin. And after that, no one else commented or replied to my issues which still remain; some of it has not even been archived yet.

Yesterday he emptied and then deleted about 19 categories I had made on "Spiral staircases". He said at the village pump the basis for this was "staircase means the room where the stairs are built in, and the room cannot be spiral". He said he knew this because when he went to Wikipedia, Staircase which redirected to "stairs". Somehow he interpreted the article there to mean his definition above.

A.Savin was told his definition was wrong. Am I allowed to recreate the categories he deleted? Thanks for your time. Kind regards, Krok6kola (talk) 23:14, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Krok6kola: Sorry, I am also afraid of A.Savin.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 23:23, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Examples of articles my content could be included

Hello Jeff G. An example that I found in wikipedia could be 'Contemporary classical music' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_classical_music another example for my art work could be 'Illustration' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustration

Thank you ,
