Finding and processing duplicates

Hi, I just noticed your question and I think you also asked Multichill why access is denied.

There is a solution to find dupes using the API: [1] then, there is a gaifrom-result, which you simply pass back [2] (this page contains 2 dupes) simply scroll down.

prop=duplicatefiles also allows looking for special titles.

On File:Admiral Lautenbacher, Jose Achache at Joint Press Conference in Geneva.jpg#mw-imagepage-section-duplicates, you can see a new Feature of AjaxQuickDelete: It allows you immediately processing the dupes without having to insert the template. -- RE rillke questions? 11:06, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The new AjaxQuickDelete is awesome. I was using custom script in my common.js but now I have removed it. [3]. Thanks for the new feature in AjaxQuickDelete.

Regarding the API, pardon my ignorance but I could not find how you found that there are two duplicates in this API result: [4] --Sreejith K (talk) 17:09, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Either I processed it or someone else here (S-train_service_B+.png) is another one. One could write a script that iterates over all files easily. -- RE rillke questions? 17:25, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, this one is cool. It was good if we had a bot which makes a gallery of such images in some custom pages possibly in the bot's bots user namespace. I will try to iterate using DotNetWikiBot. jQuery is not my strong area. --Sreejith K (talk) 17:33, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And there it is. User:Sreejithk2000/Duplicates. Btw, it would have been nice if the new AjaxQuickDelete popup had an option to swap images just like the duplicate handler popup. --Sreejith K (talk) 06:44, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's the same popup like the process-dupes one. On exact duplicates the first step (compare files) is skipped. If you want, you can add it to the TO DO-list for AjaxQuickDelete. -- RE rillke questions? 14:08, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:1033177_unprocessed.jpg

Helllo, you deleted File:1033177_unprocessed.jpg today, because It was an exact duplicate of another file. There was a difference though. As you could see it has the word unprocessed in its name, and a warning in its description that I would be reverted if someone might improve it in anyway. It was also in a specific directory, Category:Photochrom pictures in their original state stating the same. The reason is, that this image is specifically used on pages that shows the current status of these old photographs. Now that these pages are redirected to the other one we can not be sure of that. Contributors might crop, remove spots, change colour or lightness, etc. and the pages would erroneously show that as the actual quality of that image. So please, undelete that image. Thank you. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 18:38, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged the descriptions now. Does that look good. Do you still feel the need to restore the first image? --Sreejith K (talk) 18:42, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please, because all the files in the category have identical names, and I don't mind if people want to improve the other image. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 19:23, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. You may want to put a note on the image page stating that this image should not be deleted as duplicate. --Sreejith K (talk) 04:25, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 07:34, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image for Carlus Padrissa

Dear Sir or Mmme, You deleted a picture from Carlus Padrissa for the copyright because the picture is also posted at the Marinsky webpage. The reason why they have the picture is because is the one that Carlus Padrissa uses. You can find it in other pages as in his Vimeo or Youtube page. This picture was made by a friend and we have all the copyright. I'm trying to find the picture but now I can find it. Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by FdelsB (talk • contribs) 17:28, 11 June 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

The image is File:Carlus Padrissa - La Fura Dels Baus.jpg. If you can email OTRS and confirm that you own the copyright, OTRS volunteers will restore the image. --Sreejith K (talk) 12:07, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Need Advice

The {{Cc-by-3.0-BollywoodHungama}} states that "All photographs used by this site from Bollywood Hungama parties/events with the exception of screenshots, wallpapers or promotional posters are exclusively created by their own photographers" and only these pictures can be used. On the set pictures don't qualify as parties/events do they?? Boseritwik(talk) 05:45, 12 June 2012 (UTC)‎[reply]

I would assume not. But since the way the site organizes the images is kinda fuzzy, we actually rely on the url if it is not obvious on whether the image is part of a party of event. Even then, I think BollywoodHungama is OK in publishing the images taken by their own photographers in a free license. We can ask them if we think it is not. They have been quite co-operative so far. --Sreejith K (talk) 06:06, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File deleted: Zona_Franca_Bouzas.jpg

Good morning. Last week you deleted the file "Zona_Franca_Bouzas.jpg" in Consorcio de la Zona Franca de Vigo. The photo is property of the Consorcio de la Zona Franca de Vigo (no of this web: http://www.urbanity.es/foro/infraestructuras-gal/15547-puerto-de-vigo-pontevedra-29.html) and it (Consorcio) gave me permission to upload it to Commons. There is no violation of copyright. Please, restore the photo. Thank you. --Natalvarino (talk) 09:01, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that the file in the forum was posted on 06-ago-2010 while File:Zona Franca Bouzas.jpg was uploaded to commons on 6 June 2012. So to confirm that you own the copyright, you will have to email COM:OTRS confirming that you are the copyright holder and they will restore the file for you. --Sreejith K (talk) 09:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Schild Moeder Meense.png

Hello,

I own this file and control the website to which you say I copied it from. How can I confirm that I want to make this a public Wikipedia picture?

If you are the administrator of http://www.moedermeense.be/, please email permissions-commons

Doubts regarding OTRS

I just saw the following three images: File:Taapseecf1.jpg File:Amy Jacksoncf1.jpg File:Ileana-cf1.jpg taken from this website as stated in their description. Firstly I did not find anywhere on the website stating that the images are under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.Secondly on checking the file history i saw that the premission otrs tage has been added by the uploader himself.I may be wrong but I don't think he can do that and I think it is a copyright violation. I again state that I am not sure and I maybe wrong here.

Boseritwik talk 11:10, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

As you can see, they all have deletion requests on it and it is under discussion. Most probably they are copyright violations, but we do not have proof to conclude that it is or it is not. --Sreejith K (talk) 11:58, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK but the thing was for File:Amy Jacksoncf1.jpg I saw that it was posted on the website on 18 October 2011 but I found it posted here on October 10 2011. And also for File:Ileana-cf1.jpg the picture posted on cinefundas looks cropped cause if you see this is the cinefundas.com pictures and this is another picture i found. clearly the 2nd picture is the full one cause with everything remaining the same you can see more of the actress lengthwise.

File:Malcolm III.jpg

Hi, I just noticed on Wikipedia that you deleted File:Malcolm III.jpg: "(Copyright violation: This is a modern painting, at most ten years old, and is still in copyright)". Was any evidence given that this was a ten year old painting? I can't find a 'deletion request' page, or anyone submitting evidence to have it deleted. I'm pretty sure that the summary of the image itself showed that the artist died before the 1920s.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 11:08, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Restored the image and converted the speedy notice to a regular DR. We will require evidence about its age to keep the image here. --Sreejith K (talk) 11:15, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Tor logo0.png

I note you are the deleting admin for this image, on legitimate grounds for Commons only.

The image is referenced by an archived, Featured Wikinews article where its use is perfectly acceptable, simply needing a local upload and relatively trivial to draft Fair Use Rationale.

Why do people on Commons never check the usage? Why do people on Commons never contact other projects prior to leaving fugly redlinks? Wikinews has a policy to archive all published articles once a week old. You can't rely on bots cleaning up the mess you create on any language version of Wikinews, and it is generally only through sheer luck that we discover you've damaged our archived content. Can you please restore temporarily to move the image to a local upload? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 19:37, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Restored temporarily. Let me know when local upload is done. --Sreejith K (talk) 19:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've saved a copy locally for re-upload. Now, what about making sure this doesn't happen again? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 19:45, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For outright copyright violations, we delete them without replacing its usages in all the projects involved. It is difficult to send a note across all the projects where the file is used. I wish there was an easy way, but we do not have one yet. --Sreejith K (talk) 19:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It sounds like a trivial task for a bot. I know I'm not the only person that's ended up well-pissed at what seems like a callous policy from Commons — which we generally view as a project supposed to serve all the others. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 20:04, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand. This is a problem I also face in other projects where I contribute. But unfortunately, I do not have any suggestion for making things easier. If you have any, I am extremely interested to listen. --Sreejith K (talk) 06:36, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of an image for copyvio

Hello.

One of the image i've uploaded have been deleted "for copyvio". It concerns this image : http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?page=File%3ASamsung+mobile+phone+E1130+08+package.jpg&title=Special%3ALog .

As a contributor on the french wikipedia, i understand the copyright problems but i've two question : why i didn't been told that there were a problem of copyvio on this special image ? what was the exact copyvio problem (because i could need to upload a similar image...) ?

Thank you in advance. --Absinthologue (talk) 06:28, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Woozz marked it as a copyright violation. I was not aware that he did not inform you. Some users does not put notify the uploaders when they tag copyvios. Its their choice, although I am personally against it. About the image, it was a picture of Samsung mobile phone package and so it is a Derivative work. The package design is copyrighted by Samsung and we will require their permission to host the image here. --Sreejith K (talk) 06:33, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you for this answer. How can I see that User:Woozz has marked it as a copyvio ? And do you have a more clear explenation about the fact that i can take a picture of the phone itself but not the package ? Thanks in advance --Absinthologue (talk) 10:06, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only administrators can see the history once a file is deleted. So unfortunately, you will not be able to know who tagged it for deletion. But you can always go back to the administrator who deleted it and ask for that information. Although the product packaging is copyrighted, a picture of the phone a welcome image here as long as the screen does not display copyrighted wallpaper or icons. --Sreejith K (talk) 11:37, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Circball court area.jpg

Please undelete. This file already has a valid cc-by-sa license when it was uploaded. The license was already released by the copyright holder himself through his website (www.circball.com/home (bottom page)using the cc-by-sa license. Even though the file has a copyright notation on it, CCWiki's instructions says to leave the copyright notation intact. Not sure if you were aware of this when it was deleted. Here the quote from CCWiki: "If the work itself contains any copyright notices placed there by the copyright holder, you must leave those notices intact, or reproduce them in a way that is reasonable to the medium in which you are re-publishing the work." '(http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking/Users). Therefore this file ought to be undeleted. The uploader already had a valid license through cc-by-sa released by the copyright holder himself, despite a clear © mark. 173.55.4.63 03:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy removals

Sreejithk2000, I'm curious as to why you declined the speedy nominations of

‎claiming "Not a copyright violation. Please do not give direct link to images" whilst simultaneously deleting these images (with contained a direct link to the source file - just as those above did):

Providing the link is standard procedure. Further what is your rationale for "not a copyright violation"? The link I provided for File:Eric CHarest-Weinberg.jpg, for example, is the full magazine page from which it was cropped. The uploaded image itself has the watermark "by Davis/Langlois, 2009" (!). The other links are to higher resolution versions than those uploaded (i.e. source links did not obtain the images from the commons), in addition to other factors. Please explain. Эlcobbola _talk 13:20, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We need to know whether the image was first published in commons or outside. We also need to know what is the license under which the website has released the image. Direct links does not help this purpose. I deleted the obvious copyright violations, but removed the tag on others so that the nominator could provide links to the page itself. --Sreejith K (talk) 13:25, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They were all uploaded to Commons within the last day. Thus any other occurrence is sure to be prior. --99of9 (talk) 13:31, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We need to know whether the image was first published in commons or outside - that is the reason the links are to higher resolution versions (i.e., they could not have been derived from the low resolution Commons versions), and that is apart from the fact that these were uploaded only yesterday in the same batch as the deleted images. We also need to know what is the license under which the website has released the image - this may be true if the claimed author was not "own work" and the license was not a "self" variant. That these are all on disparate websites and that the uploader has made blatant misrepresentations in the same upload batch demonstrate the licenses are bogus. That is a work is fully copyrighted is the null state. Эlcobbola _talk 14:13, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not notice the uploaded date. That's stupid of me, I know. But even then, as a good practice, I would encourage you to give links of the webpages where the image is included in; and not a direct link to the image. Special thanks to 99of9 for his attention on this matter. --Sreejith K (talk) 14:41, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I offered to change the license to CC-BY-SA if he was willing, but he cannot release the image under those terms and requests deletion as a copyright violation --Sreejith K (talk) 18:34, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Sreejithk2000, see here. Often newbies or uploaders just don't know it better. In that case here really was a problem - but you seem to have un-tagged the file without looking at it. Cheers --Saibo (Δ ∇) 18:45, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The tag was added by an IP. The IP also removed the license. Anyways, I have put a DR on it now to clarify. Thanks for bringing this up. --Sreejith K (talk) 19:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aaah... your action confused me that much that I did not look further down (did not see that there was a license originally). ;-) Have added to the DR. Thank you! --Saibo (Δ ∇) 19:42, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

deletion of "File:Holdi 2.jpg"

Hello, I am a bloody beginner of Wikipedia. So I do only know some of the rules how to do. We need this picture for our Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdzeichen_(Flughafen_München) because the "Erdzeichen" has a history; the first idea to build it was the Marsh-Spirit (german: "Moosgeist") but the guys of the airport dosen`t like it_ they had fear of the problems of it near the airport. So the "Earth-Sign" was build. We need the picture for documentention of this historical event. Please look at this page and learn the importance of this picture (after we have finished, we also translate it in english and spanish). Our trial for getting it back was:

That's not a rename request. They both were the same files and so I deleted one and redirected it to the other. Now I have deleted File:Bunk.jpg and redirected it to File:Log_cabin_covered_in_snow.jpg which is a better file name. --Sreejith K (talk) 12:30, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry,

This 2 last days I've been uploading archives from art works of my own, and I'm seeing as they're beeing erased! Ugh! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong! These are photographs or scans of my own artworks. I put a lot of efforts on uploading and add info to them. Are they really erased? How or What I've to do to do it right?? Help!!

CERN images

You deleted File:Candidate Higgs boson decay event at CERN LHC, May 13 2012.jpg. CERN has updated their media terms of use. I believe the image I created meets their terms of use, which now freely allows use for educational purposes. Can you clarify why you deleted the image? Egumtow (talk) 18:41, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Point six in their terms of use says The image may not be sold, distributed or otherwise made available for use by third parties. This means the license is non-commercial which Commons does not accept. --Sreejith K (talk) 18:45, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Pictures on John K. Watts page

Dear Sir,

This is in regards to Wikipedia Page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_K._Watts

I am writing as I am honestly very upset and disappointed by some member calling themselves 'The Pope' who questioned and subsequently removed photographs that I published on the 'John K Watts' page. I replied to them advising in the time permitted for a response advising them that I had obtained sufficient permissions and had legal ownership to reproduce, publish and copy these pictures.

This 'The Pope' user refused to withdraw their acquisition and subsequently sought to remove the photographs.

I am allowed and sought permission from all parties involved to publish these photographs. I am John K. Watts' son and I diligently ensured that everything was proof-read and relevant permissions obtained before uploading.

Please can you return these photographs that were deleted and advise the user: 'The Pope' that they were indeed wrong in this case. While I do respect people proof-reading the articles, I do find it frustrating that even after I discussed the matter with them that they still pushed the issue.

My username is Arianajack on the Wikipedia site.

Respectfully,

Jonathon J. Watts — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arianajack (talk • contribs) 12:42, 9 July 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

File:Portrait Eric.jpg

Hi. You removed the {{Speedy}} tag from this image, but have you read the reason I provided? I'm not requesting removal of the original picture, just the new revisions that shouldn't have been uploaded over the first one, do not have a source, and do not have a license.

Hello,

I've seen your comment at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Passeportshakabpa.jpg regarding the deletion request of file:Passeportshakabpa.jpg.

I'm so clear how to work with Wikimedia Commons and not trusted with copyright laws, so I thought the best is to post a comment on your page.

The passport is from the late 1940ies, but the photograph was taken in the after the passport was rediscovered. I don't think there is anybody claiming copyright on that photograph, and the image is widely available on the web (1 2 3 4 and its use at Wikipedia could possibly be considered as fair use.

Photo Deleted File:Bożysław, Zdzisław i Krzesław Kurowscy - 15 sierpień 1939.jpg

Hi Sreejith K,

On Sreejith K (talk) 06:25, 12 March 2012 (UTC)you removed a picture I uploaded. I used the wrong license. The pictures shows my father and his two brothers (the one in the middle, the youngest, is not an officer) in Polish army uniforms just 2 weeks before the 2nd World War broke out. The picture was taken in my grand parents apartment by an anonymous family member. Its is not stamped nor signed. My father dated it August 15, 1939 and gave it to me before his death in 2006.

In March 2012 I was just beginning as a wikipedia contributor and did not understand the licensing system. I should have used {{Anonymous-EU}} as the photographer is anonoumous since 1939 and thus unknown for over 70 year.

Could you please reinstate this picture so that I may publish it again. I do no longer use the Cyberkur login. My current login is Roman Kurowski. Please reinstate it in My Uploads on this loging. Roman Kurowski (talk) 08:10, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not delete the image. Also, the image was deleted after a discussion. See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bożysław, Zdzisław i Krzesław Kurowscy - 15 sierpień 1939.jpg. So it will not be a good idea to restore it without consensus.

This one is in use, so it is not {{Out of scope}}. The image contains only simple text. So the text is not copyrighted. The logo in itself is just text so that it will come under {{PD-text}}. So it is safe to be retained here. --Sreejith K (talk) 12:11, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do we keep all versions? There is small change in them all. Just tag line in different languages. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 14:13, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As long as they are not {{Out of scope}}, we will keep it here. If you feel that any of these has no educational value and has no chance of being used in any Wikipedia article ever, please feel free to nominate it for deletion. --Sreejith K (talk) 14:36, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This image is however from "Bollywood Movie Features" section, which is like a news section. I think this image is taken from somewhere else by them. Bollywood Hungama doesnt usually cover National Film Award functions. (I doubt this Page 3 site would be allowed there.)

Dear Sreejithk2000,

You deleted the file "Fitz_Roy_Climbing_Wall.jpg" of commons because you assumed a violation of copyrights. It is very good that there are people taking care of Wikipedia's content.

File:Marcha de escolares en Santiago.jpg

Hi! I've just seen that you deleted this image. As far as I can read on the log, the image was tagged as a copyvio because at the end of the site says "© 2002-2012 Fotolog, Inc. Fotolog ® y Flodo™". That copyright claim is about the logos of the website, not of the picture which belongs to the uploader. In fact, the same page says "Parts of this site contain the copyrighted content of members and other third parties." Clearly, is not a copyvio.

This picture was uploaded six years ago, when not all the current rules in Commons where in place. We had an authorization by the author [[6]] (in Spanish) and we can ask him for a better authorization (offering a CC licence) but I think that, at the moment, we should restore the image because it is used in several pages at the moment.

Before deleting works transcluded at Wikisource

Gday, today you deleted File:Wittengenstein_-_Tractatus_Logico-Philosophicus,_1922.djvu For future notice, would you kindly do the WSs the favour of telling the respective wiki that is transcluding the work that the work is going to be removed reasonably in advance of the process. It is a right PITA, mighty inconvenient and then a hassle to recover components. Commons does not sit in isolation. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your frustration but think about a file which is included in a hundred different projects. How feasible is it for an administrator in Commons to go and notify each and every project? I delete around 100-200 copyright violations every day. Notifying every project will make my voluntary task insane and I would rather stop deletions than putting a notice in every project. But we can think about a bot which can do this. Can you please propose this idea in Commons:Village pump. --Sreejith K (talk) 18:25, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not asking for every file, I am asking about for the Wikisources, and most especially for the DjVu files for which there will usually be a corresponding Index: page created at the WS wiki. These djvu files are integral to the work of the Wikisources, in that they are the basis of the transcription work that is done, so by your deletion of that work you actually completely had the work undertaken inaccessible and it remained that way until we were able to get a copy of the djvu local to the servers and reinstalled.

As an administrator here, you need to be cognisant of these other wikis and their needs, and that they push files to be uploaded at Commons. Your undertaking quick deletion of a file that had a history here was entirely problematic, and didn't show the consideration that I would hope that an administrator here would show. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:21, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

May be next time I can change the {{Speedy}} tag to {{Request fair use delete}} and wait for User:Commons fair use upload bot to upload it to WikiSource. Does that help? --Sreejith K (talk) 06:29, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Taipei flag

Please re-instate File:Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg

Two reasons:

The redirect does not work in some articles, such as nl:WTA-seizoen 2012, causing the flag to be missing, and replaced by a text.
The flag is used for all Olympic sports, not just football.

Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards, Vinkje83 (talk) 18:34, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first problem is with caching. If you clear the cache, it works fine. See nl:WTA-seizoen 2012 now. The second problem is with the file name. It can easily be renamed.

Thank you for your to-the-point reply. I already tried to rename the File:Chinese Taipei Football Flag.svg into the original name File:Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg, but this is refused by the software because the redirect sits there. Apparently the functionality of 'rename over redirect' (as we have on nl-wiki) does not work on commons. As you seem to have delete authorization, I would like to ask you to perform above operation which effectively interchanges the file and the redirect. Thanks many times.

File:Higgs-Boson-March-2011.png

I am curious as to why did you speedy this image? It has so many attributes that don't fit into speedy, such as (i) low originality threshold (not certain this is copyrightable), (ii) it is a press release by Fermilab, which has unclear license [7]. One could argue it does not explicitly grant permission (yet doesn't forbid use), but such matters are for a Commons-wide debate; this problem is known, but I am unaware it is solved for Fermilab. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, thus asking. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 04:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Smith map.jpg

Hi, I don't get the rational for this deletion, art work restoration doesn't renew copyright. Does the BGS really claim copyright on this map (it's unclear from the comment if the otrs ticket has be opened by a BGS member). Phe (talk) 08:43, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The OTRS email came from BGS asking us to take the photo down. --Sreejith K (talk) 13:54, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well if it makes the BGS happy, why not, anyway there is another version File:Geological map Britain William Smith 1815.jpg, but it's quite possible you opened a pandora box, many ancient work has been restored during the 20th. Phe (talk) 20:17, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Wiki Loves Monuments Fact Sheet-it.svg

Hello, I restore this file. I kown this is not really good to be shown, but it has the advantage that it could be easily modified by anyone (contrary to the pdf) and translated. As you can see, from the first version of this file, I made the pdf version File:Wiki Loves Monuments Fact Sheet-it.pdf which show nothing wrong. The problem comes from the mediawiki software.

Deleted images

You recently deleted quite a few of my images stating: The MOD's copyright is Crown Copyright, the qualifier "This material may be reproduced for the purposes of non-commercial research or private study and for the purposes of reporting current events only". However here: [8] it says that "We license a wide range of Crown copyright and Crown database right information through the Open Government Licence and the UK Government Licensing Framework" meaning the images you deleted that were from the MOD were allowed, as the Open Government Licence [9] means thats images under Crown Copyright may be distributed under the OGL. So I was wondering may you please revert the MOD images as under British Law they have been legally allowed. Thanks Slytherining Around32 (talk) 13:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As pointed out in the speedy deletion notices the MOD say they are Crown Copyright, and the MOD have been officially delegated by HMSO to licence things as they see fit, in particular "photographs". One Night In Hackney (talk) 13:46, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One Night In Hackney is correct: MoD images currently appear to not be under the OGL unless specifically released, though this may be clarified or changed. I'll ask for these images to be undeleted if so. —innotata 17:09, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

deletion of rampa

hi, so why have you deleted the image of rampa the film? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikihegde (talk • contribs) 15:51, 29 July 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

Because it was a movie poster and Wikimedia Commons does not accept movie posters unless it is uploaded by the copyright holder. You can upload it to English Wikipedia or other regional language Wikipedias with as a fair-use content. --Sreejith K (talk) 15:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, maybe you can help me?

Now that I've seen all your credentials and appreciative tokens on your user page here, you are obviously knowledgeable and since I'm one of those older editors who never really learned anything about computers, so I've been plodding away as best I can in the en.Wikipedia, (a few small additions to other language Wikipedias). My focus is the biographies of musicians Would you consider help me now and then? My knowledge of Commons shows my ignorance here. However, if you glance at the sections in my user page in the en.Wikipedia, once someone either helps me out or shows me how to do things, I'm not that bad! Here, though, I don't even understand how to create categories! Yet, if you see all the photos I've uploaded in my en,Wiki user page, I had to put together an additional list of them all, which is nearly full, IMHO. They are only obtained by emailing every single photographer, teaching them about Creative Commons licenses, getting them to change them, and securing them, I've uploaded now more than 1,750 photographs of musicians.[10] I don't even know how to crop them or removing watermarks, no matter how small, though. I don't know how to get an OTRS license-- got one in 2008 I think, but didn't know what to do with it! Can you help me and also teach me some of these basics when the need comes? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 16:18, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Ghulam Haider Wyne By Tariq Imran.jpg

I don't understand the reason for deletion. The file was on Flickr with "All rights Reserved", I told the original uploader to change it to "cc-by-sa" on Flickr - and he did so - en:User_talk:Tariq.Imran#Speedy_deletion_nomination_of_File:Ghulam_Haider_Wyne_By_Tariq_Imran.jpg. Once that was completed, the en image was undeleted and moved to commons. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 21:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can see the deletion rationale and it says "the flickr account has too many flickrwashes. Looking at his file stream at http://www.flickr.com/photos/79579123@N00, I do not think he owns any of the photo he uploaded there. --Sreejith K (talk) 22:24, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't see 8 images being enough for a statistically valid appraisal, and I don't care about the other seven anyway, as he has not uploaded them to Wikipedia. He has uploaded lots of other images to Wikipedia and no-one has ever complained - and certainly no image match has ever been found. I only made him add the cc-by to the Flickr as he had uploaded that one to Flickr first. Next time, I'll abandon that idea and ease them through OTRS instead. Ronhjones ^(Talk) 19:27, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Even if this image was added to Commons first, it would have called for a DR. This image looks more like a scan to me, so an OTRS is never a bad idea. --Sreejith K (talk) 19:43, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fresh Appeal in the light of my own "undo" example combatting vandalism

Hi Sreejith, thank you for the advice of twinkle. In an unfortunate twist, my appeal for rollbacker was turned down by Trijnstel. Although I was dejected and a bit that this was done after much explanation, I've noticed one thing Trijnstel asked for and which I didn't comply in my earlier postings - one example where I've used "undo" button specifically to combat vandalism. I've updated with the example and hope this should satisfy my request. Regards, Hindustanilanguage (talk) 01:28, 12 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Some time back, my request for rollback rights was also turned down because I did not do a lot of vandalism combats. But that was before I understood that Twinkle exists in Commons as well. I have been using Twinkle ever since. Now that I am an administrator, I have rollback rights but I still use twinkle. The rollback button is dangerous since it does not ask for confirmation. There is nothing a rollback right can do which Twinkle cannot do. If you want to fight vandalism, Twinkle is more than what you require. But if you want to collect the rollback right just for the sake of it, may be you should wait and re-apply after doing a few vandalism reverts. --Sreejith K (talk) 03:12, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As always, you are wise, while many like myself are clever. Probably I am an exception to even this. At times I've been argumentative. But when you've no power of your own, your voice is lost in bewilderment. I've abandoned all possibilities - no right-seeking or twinkle.

So I take time out and have an ice-cream instead (joking). Hindustanilanguage (talk) 17:53, 12 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]

I did not understand by your statement "you have no power of your own". What power are you lacking? Dont tell me rollback because I tried to explain my best that if you enable twinkle, you do get rollback rights. --Sreejith K (talk) 18:06, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All that I meant was, if you read some of my posts - for example, somebody saying you never used "undo" for combatting at all, point at least one incident, etc, etc, and then I show it, it is ignored. Nobody asks if this is solo event, whether more events where there, whether you've combatted vandalism in some other way, etc. Summary judgements are passed. And its ok. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 18:19, 12 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Commons:Rollback#How_to_apply_for_rollback_permission says Admins will typically not grant the permission to users whose contributions to Commons do not establish a need for rollback permission on this wiki.. And that's exactly what happened in your case. If a vandal IP/user made a single edit, you can combat it with Undo. Only when you need to revert multiple edits by a single user/IP, you need rollback. Probably, you will have to show an example of that. I would recommend at this point not to worry about Rollback rights at all. Use COM:Twinkle --Sreejith K (talk) 18:56, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Logically, you're right. But if you go by how this was granted to few persons in the past - most recent being Bill William Compton, no assessment of need was done. Further, in my case the criteria was whether I understand or can define vandalism, cite examples on the use of undo, etc, and when this was done, people took a u-turn and said undo is enough, etc. Anyway it doesn't matter much and I don't keep thinking about these things. However, you're not just a good admin but also a good human being. Thank you for the words of encouragement.

As regards to your concern for File:Ramadhan Greetings Image.jpg, AnonMoos, based on my suggestion, uploaded a new version with proper Arabic text display.

How to remove "exact duplicate" category?

You've incorrectly marked several files (e.g. File:Exoplanet_Comparison_HAT-P-8_b.png) as duplicates. How does one correct that and remove the "hidden" category? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aldaron (talk • contribs) 20:31, 18 August 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

Seems that you have fixed it yourself. Thanks. But they are still duplicates. See this --Sreejith K (talk) 15:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's what made me wonder: where's that coming from? Is that the result of a bot looking at the files? How do I fix that? Aldaron (talk) 23:27, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I compared the files side by side and I do not see any difference. Its the MediaWiki software that is comparing the images and deciding whether they are duplicates. It uses SHA-1 algorithm to compare images. --Sreejith K (talk) 03:29, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is that something I can reproduce locally (outside of MediaWiki, e.g. with the source files here?). The files are built using the exoplanet radius data and each should be unique, unless there's a bug somewhere. Does "duplicate" simply mean "same pixels". If so that's possible, if the radii used to generate the images are the same, but the images would still not be semantically identical, in which case a policy that flags such images for deletion is pretty stupid. Aldaron (talk) 13:55, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Each image will have a SHA-1 identity. It's like the checksum for zip files. MediaWiki uses SHA-1 to compare the images. For example, you can see the sha1 for the images we are talking about as 1 and 2. As you can see, both the images has the same SHA-1 key. Depending on your operating system you can get tools to find sha1 of a local file. For Windows 7, some tools are listed here --Sreejith K (talk) 15:06, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The planets do indeed have the same radius (to the precision of the code used to generate the images), so that could be what's going on. Is that enough to cause the SHA-1 identities to be the same? If so, it's a terrible way to check for semantic identity? Aldaron (talk) 23:14, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an expert in this. You probably should ask this at COM:Village pump --Sreejith K (talk) 01:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
