Edwin Jones lived to age 125 and 11 months (As far as I am aware he is the oldest person in the world to have lived to this age.)

Hello Would you have a mailing address where I can send a certified copy of my Grand fathers death certificate that states birth date in the U.S.A. and death date in Wales Great Britain so he can be noted as the oldest person to have lived in the world.

I sometimes find Wikipedia hard to navigate to either get to the right person to achieve my goal as my eye sight is not too good. Thanks My grand father just lived his life to that age and did not even get a telegram from the Queen when he was 100.

User:Rodhullandemu/Attrib

I noticed you use {{Attribution}} here. This is one of the weird legacy license templates to say you just require attribution. I would suggest you change it to {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0|GFDL|attribution=By Phil Nash from Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 & GFDL<br >[https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=commons.wikimedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages={{FULLPAGENAMEE}} Views]}}. That way you use more standard templates. Multichill (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hugh Baird College

I have now uploaded with EXIF data included. I run the Hugh Baird College website and have just submitted an OTRS confirming my authority to release the image. Please remove all copyright violation tags you have added. Drb20141 (talk) 17:59, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Drb20141: I will put the appropriate tag on the page to show that OTRS has been sent. Unfortunately we have a backlog so it may take some time to validate. Sorry, but to protect the Wikimedia Foundation from legal action there is no leeway in this, especially given that "today" and "2nd December 2019" are not the same. Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 18:04, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rodhullandemu: Thanks. Yes, the OTRS email reply advised there is a 1 day backlog. I have a ticket number if you need it. I'm not sure why the metadata is showing 2nd December 2019. Can you stop the deletion and remove tags once my authorisation has been approved. Thank you. Drb20141 (talk) 18:09, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Drb20141: It's not up to me, bcause I don't handle OTRS requests. There are specialists for this, and they are under considerable time pressure. Sorry. Rodhullandemu (talk) 18:11, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rodhullandemu: Can you remove tags once my authorisation has been approved? Is this automated? Drb20141 (talk) 18:15, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Drb20141: The OTRS volunteer will do that if satified by the email you sent. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 18:21, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bungled cropping

Thanks for your help. Could I have reverted it - if so how? I had planned to produce a different image as you suggested, but couldn't see how within the crop tool. --TedColes (talk) 15:00, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TedColes: . To the left of each image, there's a box, and below the top image, there should be "revert" which makes that the current image. Not sure whether it will only work for admins, however. In CropTool, when you get the Upload page, there's an option to Overwrite or Upload as New Image; it should give the option to use a different name.

Image corruption detected in File:Ash Street memorial, Bootle 3.jpg

Deutsch | English | +/−

Information icon
Hello Rodhullandemu, it appears that the version of File:Ash Street memorial, Bootle 3.jpg which you uploaded 2020-02-18T20:50:19Z is broken or corrupt. Please review the image and attempt to correct this issue by uploading a new version of the file. TheSandBot will re-review this image again in 7 days. If it is still corrupt at that time, then the file may be nominated for deletion. This is most likely to happen when a substantial portion of the image is corrupt. Thank you,

Named after ...

If the structure on top of the churches' category is badly built all you've just done is to keep consistency with a crappy naming structure. It's years that the scheme is "Things named after ... " because the en.wiki's naming style is being gradually dropped on here. Instead of changing a single category to keep consistency with a failing structure, you'd better open a cfd in order to adequate the whole naming structure of the churches to the ones already existing. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 17:44, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Churches by country by patron saint is all by name. I'm very tired right now but it look like the problem is that Category:Things named after Bernadette Soubirous was in Category:Things named after saints rather than the more precise Category:Things named after saints by saint name, so I've moved it and on a quick look, it seems OK now. We should not be importing Wikipedia's categories here, because they're usually incomplete and often wrong. Commons is an entirely seaparate project and exists for a different purpose. So I'm not going to raise a Cfd to fix something that is not broken. Rodhullandemu (talk) 18:15, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Welsh Streets photos

Hi, I am developing an article for the Liverpool Welsh Streets on English wikipedia and noted you took a few photos during the redevelopment a few years ago. Do you have happen to have any more recent ones, such as post-development that could be uploaded too for use? Bungle (talk • contribs) 22:17, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bungle: Only what you see on the various categories, but I live about ten minutes walk away and could get some as part of my (cough!) exercise walk. Anything particular in mind? Rodhullandemu (talk) 00:28, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that's handy for you then (I wouldn't want to encourage you to make a non-essential trip though)! I can only see how it changed through google street view (and even that is a few years ago and not the streets themselves), so I can't say anything very specific in particular. It could do with having an infobox photo and at least 1 photo showing a completely refurbished street (I guess Voelas or Wynnstay would look better). I think one of the end houses also has "The Welsh Streets" painted on the side? I also don't know what the state of Madryn is yet and whether Ringo's old home is still under refurb or done? Article is here if you're interested and i'm already using 3 of your photos on it! Cheers. Bungle (talk • contribs) 08:26, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bungle: Aiming to get there in the next day or two. I'll do a full set so you can pick the best. The article is in good shape, it should get GA easily. Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:50, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah great, i'm sure it'll be a big help (and also to see the current progress too in order to try and determine this for the article). Yes, it's going through a GA review as you noted as it's such a fascinating part of the area with such interesting contemporary history (a bit like the granby4streets which I am looking into an article for too, though source material isn't as readily available). Thanks again for the forthcoming photos. Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:34, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bungle: OK, it's taken a couple of trips because of the sun, but I've now done all the streets part of the renovation process. File:Welsh Streets mural 3.jpg might be the best for an infobox since it's good quality and sort of generic. File:Powis Street, Liverpool 2020S.jpg is already in the infobox for Powis Street and is supported as a Valued Image. I've also taken pics of the surrounding streets (Elwy, Teilo, Dovey, Pengwern and Treborth) which are not in the renovation scheme and will upload them tomorrow. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:14, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Evening, I actually noticed your photos a day or two ago slowly being added as I could see when scanning the categories that they were included, so have been checking your progress on this and picking a few to use (which I have). On the mural, I opted for the first one on the basis that it showed the writing more than the others (darn tree!) and part of the houses to give that "feel". Several of your photos now feature on the article which really elevates the look and feel and I am grateful that you took the time to update these. I also see google street view recently updated their stock to show the refurbished streets, albeit from summer last year so it's interesting to see the changes to your photos even since that time. Thanks! Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:31, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, I got round to creating the Granby Four Streets article which I hope to develop in the same way as the Welsh Streets ones. I don't suppose you have any photos of this area in your repository? Much of what is uploaded shows them in a derelict state, while there doesn't seem to be much from post-renovation times. As these are practically next to Welsh Streets, I wondered if you previously got any photos of this area too? No worries if not, as it may be a while before the article size could be considered significant anyway! Also, the Welsh Streets one got the GA pass and I think with your photos it looks great, as I'm sure you'll agree! Bungle (talk • contribs) 15:06, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bungle: It's a good start. Haven't been there for a while but I can have a go tomorrow. Congrats on the GA for Welsh Streets. Rodhullandemu (talk) 15:22, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The prose is a bit unpolished at the moment while I get the information together. It'd be great if there are any you can get (not sure about what to use for a "feature/infobox" image for this area?); I don't want to make requests in these circumstances, but would be grateful if you have the opportunity. Bungle (talk • contribs) 15:52, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vandal DRs

Thanks very much for all the work you put into cleaning this up. I did a CU and found the user who did it -- the fact that she quoted my words in the DR that she objects to were a strong hint, but the CU confirmed it. Rather than block her myself, I've asked for one of my fellow CUs to do it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:50, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jameslwoodward: Thanks Jim, I had a feeling there was some history here. Rodhullandemu (talk) 21:05, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sidney David Gamble

I don't know, either. Gamble's photographs were in two categories (Category:Sidney D. Gamble (photographer)‎ and Category:Sidney David Gamble) and I moved them in one but didn't notice the disambiguation thing. I've moved them to Category:Sidney D. Gamble. Thank you. ——三猎 (talk) 12:28, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for that. I started the first category in 2014 and someone created the other later on without noticing. Rodhullandemu (talk) 12:42, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on May 30, 2020

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I’d like to invite you to our group’s first Virtual Meeting on Saturday, May 30, 2020. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Please take a look at the meeting page and add your name to the list of participants if you’re planning to attend.

Hope to see you in a week! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 17:13, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

  • I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
  • Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
  • Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:08, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder: User Group Meeting this Saturday

Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,

This is a quick reminder that our second virtual meeting will take place this Saturday, September 26. The agenda entails presentations about drone photography, about the story behind a featured picture, and about the future of LRMediaWiki. We'll also discuss photographers’ contacts with the Wikimedia Foundation and the election of representatives for our user group. You'll find information about all of this on the event page:

I'm also inviting you to share some information about yourself and your photography work with other members of the user group on our new membership list:

I hope you're well during these difficult times. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:23, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Circus posters

I have to ask you why you have only added deletion request to the circus posters that I have uploaded? There are many similar posters at Category:Circus posters by country yet you have not asked for many of these to be deleted even though many would be covered under the criterion that you have stated on your request? Do you have a problem with me? Because it certainly feels like it. If you are concered about the copyright, then with all the similar images, I suggest thet you go through them and add deletion requests as apropriate, to the other images. Kolforn (talk) 08:48, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are the only ones that stuck out as being obvious copyvios. As you already know, I do a great deal of work here, as do you. I am not required to be either consistent or complete in anything I do, although I do strive to be both, but my time on this planet is severely limited. If I were still an Admin, I would just have speedily deleted them as copyvios, but I'm not, so at least you get a chance to defend them. As I go about taking photographs, it is entirely frustrating that I cannot take some photographs of things that should be recorded, i.e. street art, but I am aware of copyrights. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 08:53, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I won’t be defending them as you are correct as far as copyright is concerned for the circus posters which is a shame as they are artworks in themselves, although the image of the entrance has an argument to keep but we will have to see what happens with that. If and when they are deleted then there is work to do with many of the other circus posters, apart from the vintage USA posters as they seem to have gone out of copyright in America. The 3 posters and 1 entrance in Category:Circus posters in Spain in particular must come under the Copy-vio. Regards Kolforn (talk) 10:54, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, we have a bigger problem with pub signs, particularly those uploaded by Geographbot. There are maybe thousands of them, and I will nominate them as I see them, but my attention is elsewhere at present. Cheers.

My apologies to you!

Hello,

For Category:Mississippi populated places on the Mississippi River, I used your suggested category Category:Populated places on the Mississippi River in Mississippi (state), not wrongfully I hope. I also apologize to you for any statements I made that seemed harsh to you. I haven't jumped into situations and reacted that way before and don't want to start. I'm sorry.

Your most memorable shot 2020

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

Over the course of the past two years, we've been sharing pictures that have a special meaning with each other at the start of the new year. Today, I'm inviting you add your most memorable shot of 2020 to this page:

I hope you, your familiy, and your friends are well during these difficult times. I wish you all the best for 2021 and I can't wait to see what your most memorable shot of 2020 looks like.

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:

I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My error on Category:Pictures by Macieklew

You may have seen a large number of reversions for pages and photographs in Category:Pictures by Macieklew. I was trying to help put only photographs by the user into that category. However, when I used HotCat on their user page, to my distress, it put linked pages also into the category! I quickly cleaned up the mess I made.

Apologies for causing your notifications to fill up with spurious warnings. Let me know if you'd like me to do something else. — hike395 (talk) 06:55, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hike395: No problem. Did you use the "Undo" button on HotCat? That's the quickest way of fixing mistakes. Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:26, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake. CataLot has an Undo button. HotCat doesn't. So much for editing pre-coffee! Rodhullandemu (talk) 08:20, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake also -- I committed the error with Cat-a-lot, and cleaned up with HotCat. I had already navigated off the user's page, back to the category, when I noticed the mistake. I suspect it was too late for Undo at that point. But it's a good tip. — hike395 (talk) 17:41, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder: Commons Photographers meeting tomorrow

Just a quick reminder: the meeting with large format-photographer Ben Horne will happen tomorrow, Saturday, March 20. If you haven't done yet, please consider signing up for the event and add your questions to this page. This will be our first virtual meeting in 2021 and I'd be super happy if you could join. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:55, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry you feel that way. Try to keep track of discussion about your nominations if possible. You didn't reply to my remark in 6 days, so nothing happened.

All the best,

  • Not your fault. CharlesJSharpe's criticisms wear me down and I try to fight that. I took the whole heavy kit of tripod, pan head, L-bracket there on public transport and still it's not good enough. I'm 68 today and too tired to argue. Certainly not a mountain goat any more. I do what I can. Luckily, it will soon be over. Rodhullandemu (talk) 22:58, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, well

Finally, someone who may be able to explain to me how to change the lead/featured image. I assume you changed the lead image (image on the upper right) of this page to yours [4]. How is that done? If one tries to edit the page that image is not listed. Thanks -- Jim Evans (talk) 23:10, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The image is on the Wikidata page inserted by {{Wikidata infobox}}. If you click on the Q-number on that box, that takes you to it, and there is an editable "image" field. Easy once you know! Rodhullandemu (talk) 06:27, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. And thank you for supporting my flower. By the way, though I can't remember how close I was to the flower, given the amount I had to crop to get that image, I must have been further away than many of my flower pictures. That is, I wasn't all that close. -- Jim Evans (talk) 16:21, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, no problem. I am aware from your home page and recent posts that you are very ill.
Will you please 1. Apologise on each of the 4 VIC nomination pages suggesting harassment; half-baked opinions; harassment; implying deliberate provocation for your intemperate language. 2. Desist from using personal insults in future. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:17, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let's do a deal. You agree to treat my nominations even-handedly, considering you've never ever supported them, only ever opposed. You agree to leave me alone and stop putting my health at further risk. I know I'm not going to make 70 but I would like to get through this weekend. Blood pressure, you know. But I will give you a Priti Patel/Noel Clarke apology: I'm sorry that you feel I've insulted you. Rodhullandemu (talk) 10:29, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe in the integrity of VI. Where I believe scopes are incorrect I will usually make a suggestion first, then oppose if it is ignored. I do this with all nominations, not just yours. From the comments of other editors, my objections to your gravestone noms. have some merit. There is no excuse for your language, however victimized you may feel. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:39, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • So do I, but it's not meant to be a religion. The criteria are not meant to be so tight. I've changed one scope at your suggestion, assisted by Archeo's opinion. Meanwhile, on all four noms, your opposition is the minority view, failing the arrival of a bunch of be-torched and be-pitchforked peasants from Wikipedia. Doesn't that tell you something? You're welcome to withdraw your opposition. Meanwhile, I do have a backlog of work to process. Rodhullandemu (talk) 11:45, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File:Appenzell_St_Mauritius_tower_20210528.jpg in CR of Quality image candidates

File:Waiting room at Earlestown railway station 1.jpg

Hi Rodhullandemu,

Please don't take my comments regarding your image personally - rather see them as a criticism of the way the project is going as a whole. In my view, 50% of a VI should be attributed to the photograph itself and 50% to the supporting documentation.

Copyright

Hello, I’m keen to resolve the copyright issues you have highlighted. I’m relatively new to this and want to get it right. Any help you can give would be gratefully received, particularly with regard to how I properly acknowledge copyright of photos already in the public domain. Thanks. 24may1819 (talk) 13:43, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@24may1819: Very few photographs younger than 70 years old are going to be public domain. You should cite the source they are taken from and if possible its date of publication. Scanning a photo from anywhere does not make it your "own work". In the case of the maps, if they are free of copyright or properly licensed (like OpenStreetMap), thay may be used as the basis of overlays. But one think you should not do is remove copyright warnings, to protect our legal position. Hope that helps. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Rodhullandemu: Thanks so much for that - I have also read the Wikipedia copyright idiots guide. I didn’t realise the scope of the implications of adding photos. I will be much more careful in future! 24may1819 (talk) 10:32, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipediocracy

I'm sure you didn't miss it, but in case you did, the post on Wikipediocracy where Beeblebrox says "gross" will be quite easy to present as evidence that he is motivated by homophobia, and pretty hard to deny he is not. Borgo Dobo (talk) 16:32, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I did miss it. Wikipediocracy is populated by losers with twisted minds, so I don't bother with them. I'm sure WMF T&S will have taken a look, though. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:45, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Make sure you chase this up. Make sure they acknowledge receipt of the report, and tell you exactly who is responsible for investigating it, who their manager is, and how long they expect to take. The WMF has undergone lots of structural and personnel changes recently, so it would be easy for this to just slip through the cracks. And make sure you inform them that Beeblebrox only has a few months left on his current term as an Arb. Stress the importance of the English Wikipedia community knowing who they're potentially voting for in December, should he feel emboldened by the lack of community action over his personal attacks on Fae on and off site, to actually stand again.

Jesse Hartley

Nice photo of the Salisbury Dock entrance walls. Hartley really deserves his addition to cyclopean masonry. Any chance you have a photo of his famous steps at Brunswick Half-Tide too? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Dingley: Not that I know of, and I'll check tomorrow if I have time but it is Heritage Week and I'm quite literally all over the place for the next 10 days. Rodhullandemu (talk) 21:45, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, what – things are open?? Like Doors Open Day, as they celebrated that back in the Before Times? Imagine that. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:04, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Andy Dingley: It's mostly listed buildings especially churches but there's also a Masonic Hall, Bidston Observatory and the Bluecoat School. 41 trips listed but I only expect I'll manage about 20. Rodhullandemu (talk) 22:24, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Andy Dingley: Brunswick Half-Tide dock has been filled in, and the steps lost, or at least I can't see any trace of them on Google Earth. Rodhullandemu (talk) 08:13, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Andy Dingley: , OK, thanks to Jan Ford, I've located these to the sea wall between Brunswick Half-Tide and South Ferry Basin. Still there. Calder's photo is obviously the best view, but it's from the river and the ferry does not pass there as it's too far south of its journey. Strangely, not listed by Historic England, but I'll go and have a look when I get the chance. Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:28, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What has that to do with Magellan? Rodhullandemu (talk) 09:07, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • ... that I am busy and I know the answers but can't respond fast enough, not more. To Magellan, these photos are mine and I use general format for all my ship photos:

Rules are here How to create a category for a ship,
B. How to name the category
The general format for category titles is "<name of ship> (ship, <year>)". <year> is the year the ship was completed, see Category:Ships by year built for further information. Samples: "Golden Hind (ship, 1973)" or "Pacific Dawn (ship, 1991)". Non-profi users make Magellan in Tallinn, Magellan in Sea, Magellan at Quay, Magellan off Island. After that I don't see all the photos at a glance on the one page. The cruise ships have more than 20 locations in the year (more than enough),--PjotrMahh1 (talk) 09:28, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop telling me stuff I already know. The fact that they are "yours" is irrelevant, see COM:OWN. In all topics it is usual not to overload main category pages with, say, 100s of images, becasue we should have some respect for those looking for images they want to use. For all ships, it's usual to structure them, for instance, by ports they are seen at. If you want to see *all* instances of a ship, maintain your own categories please, but don't strain our user's patience by showing then an unstructured mass of images. Not sure what you mean by "non profi"; if you mean non-professional, that applies to all of us here. If you mean unprofessional, that's an unwarranted personal attack on those who mean well but aren't familiar with subtle ways we have here. That's why it's up to us to tidy up these categories- when we're not doing our own work- and I suggest you stop being busy, there is plenty of time to get things right, and to follow what everybody else does. The alternative is anarchy, and we don;t do anarchy. I have to go out and take some photos. Please take the time to consider doing things the correct way, especially avoiding overcategorisation.

WMF grants

I wanted to ask you this early September but forgot to. Anyhow, I know that you are from the UK and sometimes worked with user "Fæ", Fæ did really important work with the Internet Archive's digital library and seemed to have stopped editing after some negative comments when they asked for money to continue their noble project. I have seen many users get small grants from the WMF for much, much smaller projects and I know that Fæ was an OTRS member until they were ArbCom banned from the English-language Wikipedia after sockpuppetry (even though they were the one being bullied) and even after their unban they were unable to ever successfully apply for the OTRS / VTRS ever again despite doing so annually. My impression is that users that are currently indefinitely blocked or have ever been indefinitely blocked on any Wikimedia website are automatically ineligible for WMF help in any way shape or form, is that correct?

I am asking you because you were an admin here for years at the same time while being ArbCom banned and saw how someone brought this against you at an AN discussion some months ago, so maybe you might know if my suspicions are correct. As it makes me wonder that if someone like for example user "Yann" would do the exact same thing with the IABooks that they might have received a grant. Honestly, I do wish that it would be easier for user "Fæ" to get money for this project and if they were still active I would have asked them to ask the Internet Archives themselves for cash as I believe they give money to that external links person. Anyhow, I hope that I haven't offended you asking this. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 09:22, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have to remember that sometimes people who contribute to these projects are perhaps a bit obsessed, perhaps a bit nerdy, and out of kilter with normal society. I am, but then I have seen "normal society" and would live without it if I could. Having said that, the Wikimedia projects should be human enough to tolerate idiosyncrasies unless they are realistically dangerous. That's why my ArbCom ban is indefensible by any standard and should have been overturned by @Jimbo Wales: . Unfortunately, he missed the point completely and set forth a series of conditions for my return to Wikipedia which were not realistically achievable. In terms of governance, it's a bit of a beauty contest who gets elected to adminship, ArbCom, etc, and as so often in the real world, the scum rises to the top as it does in a polluted river. My desysop here was another travesty, because nobody bothered to see it from my point of view, and anyone who voted for that can expect no respect from me. The result is, they lost a good vandal-fighter and copyright monitor.
I am sorry to see Fae leave (if this is permanent), but I am reminded of Jo Brand's comment about female harassment: "It may only be little things, but it builds up, it wears you down, and tires you out so eventually you just give up fighting". He's another victim of the "however much good work you do, we don't like you" syndrome, all too common on the WMF projects I've seen much of. I have heard nothing back from WMF about the complaint I submitted about Fae's treatmenr, but sadly I am not surprised, beacuse they are fucking useless about understanding the damage that sort of thing can do, and how it will eventually reflect badly on them and their desire for blandness from their contributors. I expect they'll block me for that, but then again, that would make my point for me. Rodhullandemu (talk) 11:24, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I very much agree with you, an issue I see is that "All contributors can be replaced" and the compatibility of personalities between contributors and "the community" is 100% (one-hundred percent) the responsibility of whomever is being disadvantaged. I am skeptical of the WMF's "solutions" as the list of globally banned users seem to be ever expanding and the idea behind the UCOC could essentially be "be perceived to misbehave on one (1) project get banned for life from all" and judging on what Sasha Krassotkin told a friend of mine about his ban he had no notifications, no warnings, no trial, and still has no idea why he was banned, an admin and bureaucrat and a VTRS member just gone within a few seconds without even knowing why. I don't think that it's the "nerdy" culture of Wikimedia websites that caused this, I have been a member of a lot of nerdy communities both on- and offline and these are usually very accepting and inclusive and if you did something a few years ago you could be given second (2nd) chances, I just don't see the same here. The gender gap seems to be caused wholly by this exclusive culture, this is why female contributors are less likely to stay because unless they share the Disagreeable personality of "the community" they won't feel "at home" here. I really like the welcome-bot here because most "first messages" users get here are unwelcoming deletion templates because most novice users don't fully understand the rules yet because copyright © is complicated. Imagine if the only welcome users received was "your images have been nominated for deletion".
Anyhow, I don't like being too critical of the WMF as I have had a recurring nightmare where I turn on my telephone to be greeted by a WMF Global Ban notice, something which I have dreamt several times of since Krassotkin. I believe that the system needs reform to be more forgiving and to focus more on rehabilitation of blocked users for their inclusion rather than blanket exclusion, often based on transgressions a decade old or older. I think that indefinite blocks should de facto expire after a few years, most sock hunting I see isn't actually against abuse (vandals and other abusers get blocked on sight and rarely tagged per "WP:DENY"), but then again, in the current Exclusionist environment such reforms are either impossible or near impossible. I am just glad that we don't have a "ONESTRIKE" rule like the Simple English-language Wikipedia.
I don't know how your relationship with Sasha was, I just find it sad that he neither knows why he was banned and that he can't appeal, I often came across his contributions and will miss him. Even more so for Fæ, I don't think that the Wikimedia Commons has ever had a more valuable contributor and a healthy community would find ways for people like them to make their jobs easier, not insult them when they ask for help. I hope that they are just on a WikiBreak due to WikiFatigue and didn't WikiLeave. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 12:20, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ships in Liverpool

You asked: Why the move? Ships are not inland. The River Mersey is not "in" Liverpool? The answer is to bring the category in line with the other categories. You'll find categories "Ships in" or "Ships of". If it is not correct, thousands of categories have to be renamed. For the Mersey it can be different. --Stunteltje (talk) 10:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
