Chrome

Hi Takeaway,

I've used Chrome at times over the years but at this time I don't want to use it.

We don't know each other as editors. We have had little or no interactions that I'm aware of outside your posts on my talk page.

I truly appreciate good advice, and I'm certain I could learn from you as you clearly know a lot. I'm aware that I have many deficiencies and want to improve. But in all good heart, I wish that you would stay off my talk page. There's something about the way you show up there that brings me down for the rest of the day or longer. That is the reason for my request. Kalbbes (talk) 23:17, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

@Kalbbes: I shall in future, when I encounter more categories that you have created but don't make sense, not ask you why you created them. - Takeaway (talk) 07:42, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

"Bandaraban" images by Ferdous

Thank you for sorting those better... I was basically just slotting them somewhere 'in the right general direction' as an improvement on something like 'places' or 'food'. Revent^talk 04:17, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

You're welcome, User:Revent! - Takeaway (talk) 07:50, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

question

hi, you have nominated many of images I've uploaded for deletion because as you have said that they are kind of "Art" of unidentified significance. I'm a new user here so I don't understand what that sentence means, can you please tell me what kind of ART images I'm allowed to upload? thank you so much for understanding. --Super ninja2 (talk) 22:31, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi too Super ninja2. Please read COM:NOTUSED which states in the section Examples: "Artwork without obvious educational use, including non-educational artwork uploaded to showcase the artist's skills". If the artwork had been made by a well-known artist, it would be a different matter because then the artwork could be used to, for example, illustrate an article about that artist. - Takeaway (talk) 23:19, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

thank you so much ^_^ I appreciate it--Super ninja2 (talk) 00:22, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

hi Takeaway. What you mean "well-known artist" could explain this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paweł Marcinek (talk • contribs) 08:16, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Salad ingredients

Hi. As you like food items, I want to tell you that maybe you have not seen the category I opened on "salad ingredients". I am sure you know of many items to put in there. On the other hand, in your photo album you refer to "both bridges on the Bosphorus". Since lately there are three of them maybe you might like to use "two of the three bridges" at the legend. Thanks. --E4024 (talk) 13:56, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

photos on Lomami National Park page

Hi, I noticed you nominated to delete the pictures I uploaded, because i made a mistake. I changed the license category. Could you remove your request please? I don't know how to do it. Thank you. Best, Cintia Garai Cintia Garai (talk) 12:50, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

@Cintia Garai: . Hi too Cintia, the problem with the license is not solved by changing the license in Wikimedia from CC-BY-4.0 to CC-BY-2.0. The problem lies with another part of the license of the original Flickr uploads (see this image for instance), which prohibits the commercial use of the images. This last bit is incompatible with available licences on Wikimedia Commons. As long as this isn't solved in Flickr, the deletion request must stay. Kind regards, - Takeaway (talk) 21:42, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

PS If you want to contest the deletion request, please do so on the nomination page itself as outlined in the instructions in the notifications of the deletion requests on your talk page. - Takeaway (talk) 22:13, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Eisbein

Hi Takeaway, you categorized the Eisbein to austrian pork dishes. But its only a german meal. In Austria there are the Category:Schweinsstelze as the most similar dish. --ragrds from Austria --K@rl (talk) 18:04, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

@Karl Gruber: There were a whole bunch of photos of food in Austria in the "Eisbein" category. Should they be in there or have they been moved to another category in the meantime? - Takeaway (talk) 22:41, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

This is correkt, if the photo is from Austria so it should be moved. But thanks of the review, I will correct there. --regards K@rl (talk) 07:40, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Pointing left

I noticed that you reverted my removal of the "Pointing left" category from File:2010 0517 Soi Ngam Duphli 04.JPG, but without an edit summary. Why? No one is pointing left in the image; there is only someone pointing right, and the "Pointing right" category is already used on the image. Any clarification you might provide would be greatly appreciated. Neelix (talk) 01:18, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Please look at the photo carefully, and read the file description. PS I did leave an edit summary: "read".- Takeaway (talk) 01:29, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Fenugriek-spice.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Fenugriek-spice.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Oleg Stukalov artworks

Hi Takeaway, the author of the artworks that have been requested for deletion is my father Stukalov Oleg Konstantinovich. He is not familiar with Internet but he asked me to create his page on Wikipedia and gave me the images and books for scan. How can he give a permission for the images? Thank you in advance for your answer. Best regards, Aliole — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aliole (talk • contribs) 18:29, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Removal of posts on Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems page

Hello takeaway You have selectively removed a number posts without any explanation. I assume that is because you are an admin and we have posted things on the wrong page. Please explain what process I need to follow to a) sort out the edit war and b) get a response from user Srittau? Thank you, Charles (talk) 18:43, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

I am not an admin. I only undid your edit, which I could only assume was a mistake, because you had, with your edit, removed many of the recent threads by posting old threads that had been already taken care of, over them. And I did provide an edit summary. - Takeaway (talk) 19:47, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Need you

Hi Takeaway,

I'm Nadia, I'm a advertising producer, and I'd like to ask you something, but privately please... Could you please send me an email at my personal address : nadiaj@skynet.be

Thanks & Warm regards*

Nadia

@Nadia J: . Sorry, but I prefer keeping my interactions on Wikimedia/Wikipedia public. I have a huge dislike of private dealings when it concerns Wikimedia/Wikipedia. I might reconsider and make an exception if you can at least give me some info on what you want to talk to me about. If it has to do with adding promotional content to Wikimedia, there are ways of doing that while still in accord with Wikimedia rules and regulations. You can ask for more info @ Commons:Village pump. - Takeaway (talk) 11:06, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletes, 2

As we talked about before(https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Takeaway/Archive_2#Speedy_deletes), for speedy, please provide the URL to the page you think contains one larger, or older - or for some other reason is why you think this is a copyright violation. If you're putting it up after having found the exact one, what is to say google search will yield same one to someone else, and why repeat the search? If you have no URL, or if you're not sure, please use deletion nomination instead. Thanks. Ellin Beltz (talk) 20:40, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi again Ellin Beltz. C&P-ing a url of a google image search result is kind of a hassle on a mobile phone (I often clear out categories during train commutes) but sure, I'll go back to providing url's in clear-cut copyright violation cases. The problem with many of these copyvio uploads here on Commons is that it doesn't really depend on just one easy to find original file somewhere on the internet but more on a certain image indeed circulating widely without it being possible to discover where it originated from. All I can link to is the simple google image search result (which is a huge url) showing that it is indeed a very common image that has been uploaded to Commons as "own work". You seem to be the only one demanding that though. All other admins so far seem to be okay with just the sentence that it appears widely on the internet. - Takeaway (talk) 08:43, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry pasting a url is hard for you on your mobile. It's never stopped me - although my phone is an old S3. This page shows how to use the "share" feature (hidden under the three dots at upper corner of your browser) to easily paste the addresses. It works like that for twitter and pasting to chat also. If that's not your platform or browswer, perhaps Google how to do it on your particular smartphone?

What each admin does and how we follow the speedy rules is to our own conscience and how much heat we're willing to take for a mistaken decision. I would prefer none and am careful. I do not believe I am the only admin who needs proof which shows (a) as you suggest that larger and older images are widely spread and/or (b) as I request the exact URL from which it was taken in order to speedy, (c) or some other obvious truth about why the image is a copyright violation (metadata, watermarks, what is said on source page, external links no permission, etc.). What I don't accept is "I found this on the internet" with no link and no evidence. I personally do not delete based on "oh ya I found it on the internet somewhere" without a link whether naked or buried - which sends the admin to duplicate your effort. "What other admins do" is on them in the same way that "Other Stuff Exists" is not a criteria for image deletion.

For me, speedy is that we have to be totally sure its swiped - otherwise it's a deletion nomination to give everyone time. A week or two extra in most cases is not the end of the world - and the cases which are obvious (i.e. Getty, AP, metadata marked, 10,000 google hits larger and older) are easy to take out. Point (a) above is obvious - but the images have to be Larger and/or Older than the upload in question... 10,000 hits on thumbnails does not show that our larger image was taken from their smaller image. In the absence of the image being widely distributed, and only one or a few copies showing results in the point of (b) above is to direct us to the actual image that you think causes the copyright violation. I have seen several to many cases where people have pointed fingers and claimed COM:COPYVIO!! and it turned out the webpage took the photo from Commons and then used it themselves. This is only one reason why I am careful. As before, I cannot speak for the actions of other admins - I only know that you were told this before and - as above - you agreed to do it. Please do google up how to paste a link on your mobile - the problem will solve itself. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:23, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

A question

Does this image have any copyrights? because it's just simple lines on it. Thanks--Super ninja2 (talk) 20:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi there Super ninja2. I only deal with simple copyright violations where other people's work is uploaded to Commons as if it were either "own work" or when they lack permission from the copyright holder. If a couple of lines put over a reproduction of the Mona Lisa can be regarded as a completely new artwork, and therefor uploading it to Commons without permission of the artist would constitute a copyright violation, is debatable. I tend to think it does but others here might not be so inclined. Best to put your question to a larger group of people over at the COM:Village Pump. - Takeaway (talk) 21:05, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Apologies and thanks.

Because I am a newbie, I did not understand how to correctly upload the images. I assure you it will not happen again. Thanks for the notices and my sincere apologies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ErickWikiLoco (talk • contribs) 17:14, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Cuisine in Sölden

Hi Takeaway, at first many thx of your photos about foods in various regions. I sw that you has mede some photos als from foods in tyrol. But I think its not a good idea, to catigorize directle in a category of this village like Sölden, because many of these foods are typical for the austrian kitchen. So I would find, that it would be better to categorize in biger regions like Tyrol or Austria. If it's more to specify, this should be make a people of this region. - This should be only a tip and not a critic. --Regards from Lower Austria, where we eat also the most of these , like File:2015 0723 Apfelstrudel Gaislachalm Sölden.jpg :-) --K@rl (talk) 14:14, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

PS you see that File:2015 0723 Germknödel Buttersoße Gaislachalm Sölden.jpg is also a typical food from Czechia and not only from Tyrol or Austrie. It's a differnece, where you found it. I can make a photo from Cevapcici or Spaghetti bolognese in Vienna, but this is not a food from there. --K@rl (talk) 14:18, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

The foods are categorized in the category "Food in Sölden" as well as in the category of the food stuff in which it belongs, such as the category "Germknödel" which is in one of the subcategories of "Cuisine of Austria". Note also that the Sölden category is called "Food in..." and therefore denotes what was eaten in Sölden. It is not called "Cuisine of Sölden" which implies local cuisine. - Takeaway (talk) 14:22, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay, so I have never seen this aspect, but this could be also alright. --K@rl (talk) 16:10, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Affected:

• File:Marlboro Black menthol Thailand 01.jpg

And also:

• File:Marlboro Black menthol Thailand 02.jpg
• File:Marlboro Black menthol Thailand 03.jpg

Yours sincerely, --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 14:56, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

File:Yuli Wildlife Sanctuary+ fu tang chen+005.jpg

In this edit, I see you add Category:Yu Shan National Park to File:Yuli Wildlife Sanctuary+ fu tang chen+005.jpg. It looks like, it was not shot in Yushan National Park. You see this file title is written "Yuli Wildlife Sanctuary". In my opinion, I think the uploader wants to express "Yuli Major Wildlife Habitat". But what I want to know is...how do you know that this file should be classified to "Yushan National Park"?--Kai3952 (talk) 04:44, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

@Kai3952: It would seem that I accidentally moved that file to Category:Yushan National Park while moving a whole bunch of other files out of Category:Protected areas of Taiwan which had been over-categorised or incorrectly categorised. I don't often make mistakes categorising media but with nearly 300,000 edits, a few are bound to have occurred. Please be so kind to place it into the correct category. If you run into any problems while doing so, feel free to contact me again. - Takeaway (talk) 09:14, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Re: Please put into correct category

I received the message you left on my talk page. Yes, I know what you say, but I thought you would do. I'll do it now and puts this file into the category of "Yuli Major Wildlife Habitat." But, before that I would like to ask you to read the official announcement at "the website of the Council of Agriculture." As you can see, it is written "同區域並公告為「玉里野生動物保護區」." This means that Yuli Major Wildlife Habitat and Yuli Wildlife Refuge are both in the same place. Of particular note is that the objects they protect are different.--Kai3952 (talk) 13:30, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@Kai3952: And I thought you would put it into the correct category, seeing how you seem to know way more about these things, read Chinese, and also because I asked you so in my reply to your query here above. In any case, thngs worked out nicely eventually. - Takeaway (talk) 14:17, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Then let's talk about what you do mean. When you say: "seeing how you seem to know way more about these things", what are you saying?--Kai3952 (talk) 14:34, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@Kai3952: Please don't read things into something as innocent as my observation that you indeed seem to know much more about how to categorise media pertaining to nature in Taiwan. - Takeaway (talk) 14:58, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

You want to tell me that my Chinese is better than English?--Kai3952 (talk) 15:20, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

I said nothing of the sort but you seem to read things that just aren't there so who knows? - Takeaway (talk) 15:27, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

I see you say "read Chinese". Anyway, I have done what you said.--Kai3952 (talk) 05:43, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Yay! - Takeaway (talk) 08:50, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Removing from category "Bundeswehr"

Hi, just noted you moved my pic(s) of "Wald der Erinnerung" from the Bundeswehr category. As this is a place of remembrance for Bundeswehr soldiers, think it should stay in this category as well?

@Wiegold.de: Category:Wald der Erinnerung, which is the correct category for the files you are talking about and to which I had moved them, is a subcategory of Category:Ehrenmale der Bundeswehr, which again is a subcategory of Category:History of the Bundeswehr, which in turn is a subcategory of Category:Bundeswehr. Files in Wikimedia Commons should only be placed in the most specific category or categories, and not in their "parent" categories.

Firstly, is the crab substitute vegetarian or is it the usual fake crab made from fish (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_stick)? If so, you might want to add Category:Surimi to the file. - Takeaway (talk) 12:21, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Be careful

It is ironic that in a discussion on a user who wrote offensive language about a people-group, you have made the same mistake here in the phrase "intolerant religious nutcases", who you group along with "racists, homophobes" as people who you feel are permitted on Commons only if they "behave nicely". The term "nutcase" is an insulting word for someone who you think is crazy or an offensive term for someone who is mentally ill. When you combine an offensive or highly derogatory term with a large diverse people-group, that's unacceptable. Intolerance is far from unique to those with a religion (many of the least tolerant people I have encountered are atheist fundamentalist, and there was one vegan....). Sometimes a conservative view on what is "right" or "best" for oneself or others translates towards intolerance of those who do not share that view, but not always. Commons is a global project, and should not be a hostile place for those who have a religion any more than for those who do not. The user we discussed at AN/U combined a derogatory term with a description of a religious group. And you did likewise, in your own way. We may disagree most most strongly with some people, but they are not very often mentally ill, and some of them, sadly, hold positions of great authority which they achieved through huge popular vote. This suggests some humility that while we may think we are right, many others think otherwise. -- Colin (talk) 19:31, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Colin. I did not call all religious people either "intolerant" or "nutcases". I was talking specifically about those mentally ill fanatics who go completely overboard in their religious fervour. As such, I do not feel that I have insulted religious people in general. I have also included "... and such" in the short list which would include other intolerant people such as you mentioned here above. - Takeaway (talk) 19:39, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

The problem is when you combine them like this the implication is they go together. Just the same as "disgusting jew" is unacceptable even though there are disgusting people and there are Jewish people, and I dare say there are people who are both. You really need to realise that derogatory term + people group is a combination that should never appear in your writing. There are plenty people who think all religious people are stupid or crazy or dangerous, just as there are many people who think ill of Jews. The language you (and the other guy) used does not specify whether you are one of them or are being rather astoundingly coincidental in coming across someone who is both. I know the kind of people you are referring to, they really aren't generally mentally ill even if we think they are extremists, and they really do not represent the majority. Combining adjectives like this is stereotyping and lazy prejudice, even if accidental. I'm not saying you are as bad a person as the guy who just got blocked, but we can all be a bit ignorant and unthinking in our language at times, and fall into the same traps. -- Colin (talk) 21:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

I hear what you are saying Colin but in my opinion, you're overthinking what I wrote. If religious fanatics take offense to what I wrote there, it really is their problem. Some people just love taking offense and there is no stopping them unless one never says anything and that means they win by shear intimidation. Thanks for worrying about this but I really think all's fine. - Takeaway (talk) 22:57, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but that excuse is just like someone claiming that "disgusting Jews" or "stupid Irish" (to pick a common English prejudicial stereotype) can take offence for all you care. We all know the writer isn't referring to Jews who happen to be disgusting or the subset of Irish people who are a bit thick. Similarly "intolerant religious nutcases" can, in many people's views, refer to pretty much anyone with a religion. Just try removing the "neutral people group" part of your clause, and you give the same message without displaying any offensive prejudice in your language. If our blocked AN/U person had referred to a "disgusting person" there would not have been any issue. Similarly if you were complaining about the problems dealing with intolerant people or extremists, then that would have been fine too. But you slipped in a "people group" between some derogatory adjectives, and it makes it look like you don't actually think they are a "neutral people group" at all, just like the AN/U guy probably doesn't have neutral thoughts about Jews. I agree that some people love taking offence or seeing offence where there is none. I don't think that's the case here, and I'm not defending religious extremism. I think instead you are displaying some prejudice in your thoughts, which come across in your writing, or at the very least are unthinkingly repeating prejudicial language you've seen others use. And I don't blame you for making such a mistake, because such language is fairly common and usually unchallenged in our culture. Anyway, I'm not sure I'm going to convince you but hope you think a bit next time you refer to any people groups. -- Colin (talk) 08:48, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Please get over grudge

Please get over your grudge against me. It lowers the tone of the Commons community. Your comment was removed accidentally in an edit conflict where you asked me to discuss something you had already redirected. Please don't do that again. Kalbbes (talk) 23:44, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Please stop creating incorrectly named and/or parallel categories. You do that so often. Please check, and in your case, re-check. If you find that voicing criticism is holding a grudge, you probably have lots of people holding grudges against you then. - Takeaway (talk) 23:46, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

I reverted your edit conflict which removed MY comments. Feel free to add in your comments AFTER mine. - Takeaway (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

@Kalbbes Please stop creating incorrect named and/or parallel categories to existing categories. I often run into them, and so do other people. I possibly run into them more often because I do a lot of clean-ups of categories. If I find an incorrect and/or parallel category, I rectify that. I actually tried to give you some pointers when I first came into contact with you but you insisted that your method of taking file names and using them for category names, even incorrect or sloppily named files, was all perfect and that I shouldn't bother you because all was well what you did. Should I let incorrect or parallel categories exist in future just because you had created them and don't want to be reminded that they weren't correct? - Takeaway (talk) 00:12, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

I only discovered that all this was actually vegan food after about 10 minutes of eating. It tasted nearly the same as the real thing. Only the textures were a bit off.

@E4024: Where did you actually move the media to that was in there?

I put a "keep" to the deletion request. I also saw that you had moved the media from this category to Category:Vegetable patties. This is actually incorrect because some of the meat substitutes used for Category:Vegetarian meatballs might not be of vegetable origin at all but instead made from a fungus and egg white (for instance the meat substitute Quorn). In addition, a vegetarian meatball often emulates the flavour of a meatball. Vegetable patties don't. Could you please revert these edits? - Takeaway (talk) 16:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Don't panic! (Que no panda el cúnico. :) You found it, while I went to a food market to buy veggies, then home, watched TV and slept.

Categorization

@Takeaway: I noticed your edit, but must say, these are not spices from the Netherlands. These are spices from other countries depicted in the Netherlands. Lotje (talk) 15:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

@Lotje: One can also interpret "Spices of <name of country>" as meaning "Spices used in the cuisine of <name of country>". It would have been great if there were different categories for "spices in <name of country>" and "spices of <name of country>" but there aren't and it would entail a huge re-categorisation of all the media. Many individual spices are categorised into their plant categories, which ideally would be categorised into subcategories of their lands of origin. - Takeaway (talk) 16:15, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

I see what you mean. Indeed, that would be a huge job to recategorize. Wouldn't know where to start. Lotje (talk) 16:18, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

@Lotje: If you can agree with the above, how do you think about adding some text into each "spices of <name of country>" category to state that the categories also contain images of "spices used in the cuisine of <name of country>"? - Takeaway (talk) 16:19, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

File:Speculaaskruiden-spice.jpg

Heloo Takeaway could you take a look at the file (you edited it before). I do not quite understand what the uploader meant with the cc-by-sa addition, I put it in a template now. The result is self-explanatory. Thnks. Lotje (talk) 07:08, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Lotje, apparently the uploader had uploaded more files with the same licensing issue back in 2005. Most seem to have been changed from {{cc-by-sa}} to {{cc-by-sa-old}} such as here. The changes have been arranged by user:Juta. As I'm not well versed in the whole licensing thing, perhaps you could ask them what would be the most appropriate action here. Cheers, - Takeaway (talk) 11:20, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

I dont understand, what is your question? The tenplate {{Cc-by-sa-old}} was created at that time not to have to delete very much very old images because its not clear which cc license excactly to uploader meant. That wasnt my decision, I before marked a lot of them as having no license. Another user changed {{Cc-by-sa}} before not to be a license template anymore. regards. --JuTa 12:38, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

@JuTa: if you take a look at the history of the file, you'll notice that I changed the red cc-by-sa link to the {{cc-by-sa}}. I wanted to know if that makes senses or if I should leave that red link, or removed it from the file. Lotje (talk) 13:46, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Thats OK in my eyes. --JuTa 13:49, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Feedback for Commons Android app

Hello,

Thanks for uploading photos to Commons via the Commons Android app! :) We (the developers of the app) have recently submitted a Project Grant proposal for the app, detailing our plans for the app in 2019. As a user of the app, we would love to hear your thoughts on it, if you have the time.

Cheers, Misaochan (talk) 10:51, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Bigimono. Sorry but I don't know where he lives. I was brought there by someone I knew.

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
