Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:39, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

On a side note, please consider archiving your talk page instead of removing old messages. See COM:ARCHIVE for more information. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:39, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Johnj1995 (talk) 17:35, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Speedy templates

Hello there. I figured I was making life easier for admins by adding context to speedy deletion criteria, such as {{speedy|G10 advert, it's the URL of a chatroom.}} on a QR code, but you've taken it down to a simple "G10". Should I not be trying to add explanatory comments to speedy templates like that? I know that bots pick up on the templates and add appropriate talk page warnings, but I'd thought that if I'd warned the user myself, the explanation would be appreciated. If it's not, I'll stop! --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:30, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Advertisements for speedy deletion should be tagged as{{SD|G10|2=Your reason}} so that the file is placed in the appropriate category. Johnj1995 (talk) 19:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

<barging in, accidentally seen> Lord Belbury, Johnj1995, Stang, thanks a lot for your work here on Commons! Regarding DRs I recommend activating AjaxQuickDelete and QuickDelete @ Special:Preferences → Gadgets if not done already. Additional reasons for deletion reqs can easily be defined, see for example my User:Achim55/common.js or User:Jeff_G./common.js, section window.AjaxDeleteExtraButtons. That provides a comfortable way of tagging and also includes an automatic notification of the uploader. Cheers, Achim55 (talk) 20:58, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks John, I didn't know about the undocumented "2=" option. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:38, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Thanks for correcting

Thanks for correcting the speedy deletion templates on the files where I put them. I am not very familiar with speedy deleting on Commons. Minilammas (talk) 17:35, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

I would like to express similar thanks. I just used what I knew would work since I knew the file was non-free, but I didn't know what template I'm supposed to use so I simply searched "Template:Speedy" in the search bar and selected the first result that seemed correct. Blaze Wolf (talk) 17:45, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Informing the uploader

Hi, You need to inform the uploader when you nominate a file for deletion. Thanks, Yann (talk) 21:29, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Help:Gadget-UserMessages is very helpful for this purpose. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:38, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

It is also helpful to inform and instruct errant {{Delete}} taggers when you undo their work in edits such as this. See what I did with the taggers of that file.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Again, you need to inform the uploader when you tag a file for deletion. Thanks, Yann (talk) 14:14, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Last warning

Hi, I already warned you several times not to create invalid deletions requests. Check the source before creating a request. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:06, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me that this deletion request is invalid. Johnj1995 (talk) 14:42, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Simple icons

Just a reminder, simple logos or icons such as File:Sad-face.png certainly should not be nominated for speedy deletion, even if they are taken from an external website which claims copyright. You can open a normal COM:DR if you believe the design exceeds COM:TOO, but speedy should only be used if no reasonable person would dispute that it is above TOO. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:15, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

vandalism?

Hi, why did you speedy-tag File:كريم عبد العزيز.png for vandalism? --Túrelio (talk) 08:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Improperly created deletion request?

Ho should one do a proper request? --Berserkur (talk) 16:58, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

On the sidebar, select "Nominate category for discussion" to properly nominate the category for deletion. Johnj1995 (talk) 17:00, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

hello Johan,

you marked 4 pics of mine for speedy deletion, I want to know why? and if there is something I can do to make it right?

Thank You! MarkScoopit (talk) 01:09, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Selan

Trying to understand what is happening here: you removed Category:Selan from File:Selan CHIC white.JPG, then proposed Category:Selan for deletion because it is empty. But why the removal in the first place? I'm aware that this person made the mistake of writing a Wikipedia article about himself, but he is actually a reasonably significant musician: anyone who played with Nile Rodgers & Chic certainly is notable enough for a Commons photo (if possibly not for a Wikipedia article). It's possible that the photo will be deleted for copyright reasons. If so, fine. But removing the photo from the category preemptively seems to me to be the wrong way to go about this. Also Pinging @Yann, who did the deletion. - Jmabel ! talk 20:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

@Jmabel: OK, I restored the category, and denied the speedy DR. Yann (talk) 21:02, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

SNK farewell.jpg

Sorry, I just clicked wrong the "This is file my own work", but I didn't create the art SNK farewell.jpg. But I knew about Wikimedia copyright intellectual property. I'm sorry. Krohnen (talk) 18:41, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Don't cancel my delete request

You canceled my delete request. What is the problem with that? AlexusUkr (talk) 22:50, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Rollback right given

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Commons:Rollback. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. --Achim55 (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

File:AquilaChrysaetosIUCNver2018 2.png

Hi, You tagged this as a copyright violation, which it is not. Please be more careful about this. In addition, you must inform the uploader when you tag a file. Thanks, Yann (talk) 20:25, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Ivanpah-Control project

Hi, I'm new to posting here, did you post a message saying the file I posted at the following URL was a copyright violation?:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IvanpahControlProject2019.jpg

The source link I gave at blm.gov links to the Flickr page for that image:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/blmcalifornia/52508712715/in/album-72157715019511542/

which has a public domain mark for that photograph that links to the creative commons public domain page:

https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0/

The following Wikimedia page says Wikimedia accepts that as public domain:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickr_files#Public_Domain_Mark

Do I need to change the classification to a different type of public domain? ArcMath (talk) 00:49, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for moving my category!

Thank u! @Johnj1995 TheBarkKnight (talk) 13:29, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Uploads by RepaNation

User RepaNation (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log) block user has the same name as the Cuban conglomerate, RepaNation Network,[1] which represents, manages, produces and distributes the music of the artists appearing in this pictures. They are also the owners of RaggaMorffa Editorial.[2] That's the reason I tagged them as promotional, but apparently is only a violation if the picture is personal or is copyvio; maybe there should not be a G10 rationale.--MexTDT (talk) 05:54, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

G10 removal

Hi! You removed the G10 tags I'd added here and to a couple of other uploads by the same user. Those are LTA cross-wiki abuse by one of a long series of sockpuppets whose only interest is self-promotion (please see w:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Santana MontanaReal). It doesn't greatly matter, as I imagine the files will anyway be deleted as F10, but would you care to restore those tags? Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Philips Lumea advertising

Hello, i would like you to delete the Philips advertisement file and leave the other file on the page, because you accidentally repeated the file. Thanks!!! JoubertJB07 (talk) 01:37, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Samrat Choudhary

File:Samrat Choudhary.jpg. This seems to be own work of uploader as it was first uploaded on Wikipedia and from then onwards appeared everywhere. Also see the image quality. Its high . Admantine123 (talk) 16:06, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

They seem to be very less active on Wiki and it is impossible that they will reply or confirm through email. If we keep deleting images like this it will be very difficult to keep pages of politicians in good quality.-Admantine123 (talk) 16:10, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

copyvios

Hi -- please don't retag copyvios I've tagged. There has been some disagreement on what constitutes spam, but copyvios are unambiguous. Gnomingstuff (talk) 02:16, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion requests

Hi, Do not create speedy deletion requests, when there is already a regular DR, e.g. [3]. I think I already told you that. Yann (talk) 10:50, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

November 2023

Hi, Johnj1995. Thanks for patrolling new pages. I've declined your deletion request for some pages that you tagged for speedy deletion because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover those pages. Please take a moment to read the deletion policy, and criteria for speedy deletion. Such pages are best listed at Deletion requests instead. Thanks! 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:C042:44D1:C6E4:D474 03:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Handling child protection matters

Hi! I noticed you tagged a file, entitled "13 yo teen dick", for speedy deletion. In the future, please do not do this for things that appear to be child pornography. Instead, please:

1) Approach an active admin *privately*, who will delete the file. IRC or Discord can be useful for this. Looking for recently active admins, emailing them, and telling them you've done so also works. Links and filenames must not be shared publicly until the file is deleted. In the absence of a prompt admin response, approach a Steward instead.

2) The admin must also report this to the Wikimedia Foundation (legal-reports@___.org). The oversighters may also be contacted to suppress the material.

Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:13, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Changing SD reason

Hi. I request you to stop re-tagging/modifying rational in SD template when it was originally put by other experienced/established users. You recently changed rational to "F10" in a file that I had tagged for SD as "F10 and G10", the file clearly contained promotional content, thus I wanted it to be reflected in the speedy deletion reason, you can see the deleting admin re-added the other criterion. These users know what they are doing, the admins know which CSD to use. If I remember correctly, I had once poked you for re-tagging broken redirects tagged by me probably 2-3 years ago. I'm sorry but your edits like this aren't helpful, I would say your edits like changing "Advertisment"/"Personal photo" to "G10"/"F10" would still make sense for the sake of categorisation but please don't do it in case for other criterion or when the rational contains other information, specific reason, multiple criteria. I hope you will understand. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 04:23, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Duplicate -- check the file history

Hi. Prior to marking with duplicate, there is value in checking the file history to ensure that we haven't had a case of someone overwriting the image contrary to policy. Better to revert the overwrite, and then use something like {{Other version}} to highlight the alternative.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

No

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Air_Force_Ensign_of_India.svg&diff=prev&oldid=841305821 Really bad idea at this point of the game. There are hundreds of uses and flag images are notoriously hard to get commonsdelinker to move. Get any clean up and replacement done first, then we can look to the removal.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:31, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Changing deletion reason and minor edit

Hi! If you're going to change the deletion reason like you did here (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3A143A7535.jpg&diff=844013170&oldid=844008094), please try write that you're doing so in the edit summary and don't tag it as a minor edit. Thanks! Pretzelles (talk) 00:24, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

commons:speedy deletion

Hi. Files that are legitimately in use at other wikis cannot be speedy deleted. Please have the issue of use resolved at that wiki prior to nominating the fil3es for deletion here. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:46, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Соотношение русских и татар в Республике Татарстан по городским и сельским поселениям.png

Hi! In the picture on the right, an advertisement in the form of a link to the site. This is not allowed on Wikipedia.--Il Nur (talk) 08:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Didn't realize commons had different process from Wikipedia. I believe File:1965 Elkhart Double Tornado-Palm Sunday.jpg has now been properly nominated for deletion thanks. Cheers. --Kuzwa (talk) 00:12, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Empty talk page

If you want there to be an empty talk page that hard, be my guest. There was nothing unclear as to why I marked the talk page for removal, I explained it on the edit summary. Minilammas (talk) 22:02, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Template:Category redirect

Hi. Rather than request deletion of long-existing and essentially used categories, please look to utilise {{Category redirect}} with them. We look to retain possibly useful categories, and Commons:HotCat is able to apply the appropriate target category even when they type the redirected category. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:26, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Notify uploader

Hello, Thanks for your contributions, but please make sure to notify the uploader when you mark their file for speedy deletion, such at File:Kung Fu Panda 2 poster.jpg. You may enable QuickDelete gadget to do this faster. Thanks. 0x0a (talk) 04:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Reminder: please don't touch my deletion requests, open a CFD if you want

As you are not an administrator, please avoid touch my deletion requests. If you think changes are needed, you can start a CFD.

This concerns: [4] [5].

Please confirm that you will do so going forward. Enhancing999 (talk) 23:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

We operate on consensus, not one person's opinion over another, so please follow the processes where you are in disagreement. I will note that the more information the better in these situations.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:38, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Looking at the conversations started with you on your talk page, I would encourage you to start responding to people's questions and comments as appropriate. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:44, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Appeal deletion of

Hello! I must commend your activities on wikimedia projects, especially on Commons.

I wish to object the deletion of only one file and the category . Even though there is no reliable source to claim notability yet, there is a write up on thecommunity.ng that points to the fact that the individual is interested in politics and can easily become a local legislative assembly member for Nigeria's Delta State. Based on that, I think the file Samuel Kporaro be kept for future use. Also the category for Samuel Kporaro be kept as it could be useful in the nearest future. Every other file of the individual on Commons should and must be deleted.

I love the wikimedia projects and would love to make very constructive and beneficial edits and contributions. However, as guided by the Bible, nothing goes for nothing (God owns everything including the humans. Even in the book of Psalms and other biblical books it is affirmed and confirmed. God even said that if He were hungry, he wouldn't need to tell humans because the animals in the field and the entire world are HIS. But then he tries to teach his people not to do anything for nothing, by asking the question "Can a human rob God?" He went further to say that humans have robbed Him. He proceeded to tell them what to bring to Him to access his blessings. Did apostle Paul in one of his epistle not emphasize this. He even further told his congregation, "I don't mean that you should burden yourself to ease others). Just like the ancestors and predecessors of the present Europeans, Christianity is very influential in my life. If you know me and know how I keep finding myself falling back to Christianity and Christian identity, you will know that Christianity shapes my culture and viewpoints. Keep the category and file requested but delete every other. Nobody buys browsing data or electricity for me. But what is important is this: keep the category and the only one file. In the Ecclesiastes or Proverbs, you will learn that a poor wise man saved an entire city but in the end, no one knows him or even recognize him; only mere mention in passing about him. Keep and File:Samuel Kporaro 2024.png. Delete every other category, file or upload. The category and file will be useful. 105.113.57.226 07:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Category:MC Stan

Hi. You deleted the files earlier but can you delete the category too please? This is cross-wiki promotion. Users have been globally locked. Thanks, and be well! - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{Please don't eat da 🐑!} 07:33, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
