I thought that I fix the categories long time ago, but obviously I didn't, so can you check is it okay? Thanks for the notification ;) VladislavNedelev (talk) 00:17, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Could you possibly fix the Big 12 logo you vectorized? The gap between the "XII" and "Big 12 Conference" is too big. If you look at the PNG version, that is the right gap. You can read the Identity Standards for more information on that. In my opinion, the large gap looks ugly. You don't have to do it, I was just curious if you would. Other than the gap, the file looks good! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 06:30, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey. I took a look at the two versions of the images and compared them myself, and I did not notice any difference. If you still want something done to the image, you can go to the Graphics Lab, and see what they can do. 1989 14:08, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Alright. I took a closer look at it and it seems fine as there isn't a difference like you said. I'm not sure what I saw the first time, but it didn't seem right. Sorry to bother you about that! Corkythehornetfan (Talk) 23:50, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Patroller!

English  español  മലയാളം  Türkçe  +/−


Counter Vandalism Unit

Hi 1989,

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use your help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:59, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Neurergus kaiseri pictures

Hi 1989 ! I uploaded pictures of Neurergus kaiseri larvae, and then saw that I had to provide copyright information to get the pictures restored. I wrote the mail, using the example given, to allow the use of the pictures according to the licence terms.

Can you please indicate when I can hope to be able to see the pictures again, on the page where I initially put them ? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurergus_kaiseri

Thanks in advance, Fenchurch Fenchurch38 (talk) 08:59, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

If you already send an email to OTRS, you gonna have to wait until they approved what you send to them. 1989 10:22, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the answer ! Fenchurch38 (talk) 20:04, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations, Dear license reviewer

If you use the helper scripts, you will find the links next to the search box (vector) or as single tabs (monobook). They are named license+ and license-.

Hi 1989, thanks for your request for license reviewer status. The request has been closed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. You can now start reviewing files – please see Commons:License review and Commons:Flickr files if you haven't done so already. We also have a guide how to detect copyright violations. Potential backlogs include Flickr review, Picasa review, Panoramio review, and files from other sources. You can use one of the following scripts by adding one of the lines to your common.js:

importScript('User:ZooFari/licensereviewer.js'); // stable script for reviewing images from any kind of source OR
importScript('User:Rillke/LicenseReview.js'); // contains also user notification when review fails, auto blacklist-check and auto-thank you message for Flickr-reviews.

You can also add {{User license reviewer}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your contributions on Commons! – Kwj2772 (talk) 12:11, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, 1989, I've removed you speedydelete templates from the aforementioned files. No copyrighted logo is shown in the videos. File:Logotipo del Ministerio de Defensa.png is not a copyrighted picture and therefore, no reason to speedydelete said files. If you still think there's a problem with them, feel free to open a regular deletion nomination. Best regards --Discasto talk | contr. | es.wiki analysis 22:07, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I did not know that the logo is public domain. When I looked at the logo on the video, the art that was on it made me think that it is copyrighted. My bad. 1989 22:29, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Deletion requests

Hi. You can stop requesting deletion of images of structures and vehicles in Norway now. The law, Åndsverkloven, § 24, states: "Byggverk kan fritt avbildes." [1] "Byggverk" here does not only mean building, but structure, including bridges, ships and similar. Source: The booklet "Fotojuss for arkiv, bibliotek og museum", made by The Arts Council Norway in 2012 (?), page 55. [2]

As for text on buildings, I imagine that could be a problem if the text was the main, most important part of the image. As long as it isn't, the text is not protected as such. Blue Elf (talk) 22:26, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the disruption. I've been here for 3 weeks, and there are some things I don't quite understand. Take a look at my user page for a second, and read what it says. 1989 22:30, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

My dear 1989! Many thanks for checking the licenses on mine's several images. Could you please check these stills too in your spare time, the location of frames is noted to assist you in doing that:

IRC

I do not know if you know this or not, but most (at least active) editors hang around something called IRC, Internet Relay Chat. Where we chat, discuss and interact with eachother 24/7. I just wanted to tell you that. Commons:Internet Relay Chat (direct link). It could be interesting for you to introduce yourself with the rest of us and talk, and not just do license reviews all the time, even though it is really appreciated! Josve05a (talk) 01:56, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Deletion notices

I wondered why you would bother to adding extra deletion tags to all the images I had already started a mass deletion request for on Arumpostasest's talk page. In fact I see you adding additional tags to many image I have already tagged for deletion. It seem like a waste of time because usually they will be deleted anyway and adding another tag, sometimes for the same reason and sometimes a different reason, make no significant difference. I always feel we should be editing as productively as possible so spending time retagging seems pointless when you could spend that extra time dealing with other untagged images, unless the existing tag is entirely wrong. Indeed some images may be nominated for both permission and source problems but one tag should be enough. I find myself having to review those same images again to see what has been done as I always add deletion nominations to my watchlist until they are deleted. You are virtually the only editor whose reagging seems to crop up for many such images. The only reason I can think of is that you might be trying to increase your edit count but that seems unlikely, though as a rather new editor it could be the case that you feel this is a meaningfull statistic.

File:Mia Ridge at GLAM-Wiki 2013.webm

Hello. Just had a notification that you deleted this video as a copyright violation and I'm curious about why. I recorded the video at a conference that Wikimedia UK hosted. It's my own work and the person being recorded was aware. Could you let me know what was wrong and why you deleted the file please? Thank you. Stevie Benton (WMUK) (talk) 09:00, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion to check your edits

I noticed this edit (among others) which seem to have broken templates. Could you please fix that? Ainali (talk) 21:26, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

The reason that's happening is because there are too many copyvio notices on his talk page, there not broken. 1989 21:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
I am sorry I misphrased it. The rendering of the templates on that page is broken. Could you please add the message you are trying to convey in such a way so that it is human readable? Ainali (talk) 22:58, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
@Ainali: The massage is posted automatically when doing license reviews/marking for deletions with tools in order to be translated into multiple langs. at the same time etc. One (simple) solution that would work best is if the user (Stefan Elfving (WMSE)) would archive his talk page. There is a stupid MediaWiki-bug/limit to only allow x amounts of "rendered things" on each page... Josve05a (talk) 11:46, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Johnson's Baby Powder massage file

Please review File:Johnsons Baby Powder massage.jpg I have uploaded a totally different version of it (full version). This bigger file, in my view, doesn't violate packaging copyright rule because it is an artistic image of the product. The previous image uploaded was indeed focused on the product (I cropped the product out). -- Ivan Dembicki (talk) 09:44, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for approving the file. Can you also remove the nomination for the deletion? -- Ivan Dembicki (talk) 22:02, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Why have you marked this file with "no permission"? rubin16 (talk) 09:30, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

I marked it no permission because no EXIF data of a identified camera was shown. 1989 12:00, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
I think that is not an sufficient reason for sending image to speedy deletion... though EXIF data is good, its absense is not a certain sign of copyvio. Recent uploads of the user show that user isn't familiar with Commons licensing guidelines but honestly states authorship of other people if images were made not by himself. As image isn't found anywhere and is claimed to be own work, I am restoring all that files. If you have any objections or other thoughts, you can go via regular deletion requests rubin16 (talk) 12:42, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
@Rubin16: "No permission since" (nps) is not speedy deletion. It raised a problem to the uploader and gives him/her 7 days to prove that it is his own work, which isn't hard to do really. Speedy deletion is only used when there is direct evidence that it is not own work etc. and when unsure, or if any resonable doubt (such as EXIF data, checked by a trusted editor) it should be tagged with a "send us evidence"-template such as nps. Josve05a (talk) 12:46, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
what permission should uploader sent? That is already his photo, not published anywhere, uploaded by himself. OTRS works with images that are already published somewhere, if image isn't published - uploader's consent during the image upload is a sufficient action. Nothing states EXIF as an obligatory requirement rubin16 (talk) 13:10, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Personal files - two of them you have deleted...

Hello, 1989! In December 2014 I downloaded three files (File:Лер Саныч.jpg, File:Весело, не так ли))).jpg, File:Большевики метро.jpg), two of which you have removed, thinking that the author agrees or does not agree to the download. I am the author of all these three files: I took the pictures and posted here. And the fact that I'm so not in time You write - just not enough time to get out once again on the Commons. Chippollino (talk) 23:25, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Re: Missing info notices

In the upload form, it states that if all the photos came from the same source, a single link may be used. All the photos can be found here. The bot just doesn't know to parse through the subpages hence why it flagged them. Typing in the exact URL for each photo takes considerable time, especially when you're bulk uploading like I have been. It's unclear why this is an issue as I've been doing this for quite a while without question until now. I take it the bot also ignores the autopatrolled user right that I have? Thanks — MusikAnimal talk 16:38, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for going through all those photos! I would have been happy to do it myself, it was just unclear if it was really necessary. I take it that it is. No problem... I'll go the extra mile moving forward and be sure to add the exact link. I think I've got the source in place for all of the files now, if I'm missing one left me know and I can provide and/or change licensing on Flickr as necessary (I have control of the account). Thanks again, I know that was a lot of work! :) — MusikAnimal talk 22:28, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

RE:Café du Monde in New Orleans.jpg and Canal Streetcar in New Orleans.jpg

User:1989 these media files (File:Café_du_Monde_in_New_Orleans.jpg and File:Canal_Streetcar_in_New_Orleans.jpg) are not missing evidence of permission. I have used all the applicable and proper procedures during upload to ensure explicit permission were granted during the files upload as I granted permission and license under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International. I have also sent two separate and explicit email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org granting permission (for each file) that complies with the licensing policy using the Commons:Email templates/Consent. There seems to be a double standard here because I am the author, creator, and sole owner of these files and I don't understand why these additional steps were needed, when they are not needed elsewhere but I took them anyway. Please remove and withdraw your requests and explain why your deletion requests were issued in the first place when explicit permission was already given at the time of upload in the first. It will greatly help me better understand your reasoning.--DidierMoise (talk) 23:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

If you have already sent a request to OTRS, you'll gonna have to wait until they approve it, until then, an OTRS member can remove my requests when your emails are being reviewed. 1989 23:50, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
1989 Thank you for replying and for stating the obvious, but you have not explained the basis or reasoning behind reporting and tagging the related files as missing evidence of permission when in fact they were not. I'm really interested in avoiding additional and potentially unnecessary steps in the future by understanding your rationale.--DidierMoise (talk) 00:55, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Jason Saul

And, I don't see how you can possibly give File:Headshot Jason Saul.png a good Flick licence review for an obvoiusly false licence which, firstly is under a deletion nomination, and secondly is the only upload by the Flickr user. This immediately puts the image under suspicion and smacks of flickrwashing, so should never be passed until an OTRS ticket has been provided just because the Flickr licence is free. What is your thought process? I get the impression you do not have all your image reviewing skills completely in order, just as you add a second no source tag to images I have already tagged as "no source". Ww2censor (talk) 10:17, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

The tag says This image, originally posted to Flickr, was reviewed on 14 January 2015 by the administrator or reviewer 1989, who confirmed that it was available on Flickr under the stated license on that date, which means that the license on the file page is not infringement, and that its the same as the Flickr page, thats why I passed it. Another reason I tagged it is because leaving the tag unreviewed will cause backlogs to be filled, also I did not intend to add a second no source tag, because the JavaScript I'm using automatically does that. I thought that the file was unreviewed, and a non image reviewer tagged it as no source, because the red notice under licensing doesn't change to this, This image was reviewed by FlickreviewR, which could not determine what the source image from Flickr was. After further checks, Username concluded on 2015-01-07 that either the image was not on Flickr, or there was not enough information to find it.1989 15:44, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Re-review

You might now want to re-review File:Hölderlin Lebenslauf 1a.jpg and File:Hölderlin Lebenslauf 2a.jpg now that I found the actual source pages and even though the website provides a CC-by-SA licence, these 1800 pages are without a doubt PD. Ww2censor (talk) 17:55, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

✓ Done 1989 23:21, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
I don't understand your reasoning. These are 200+ year old books, so PD clearly trumps the copyfraud claim of the Library. Ww2censor (talk) 10:17, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
The user said the file was posted on Flickr, and it wasn't. Thats why it was tagged no source. 1989 15:47, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
You missed the point; my last post has nothing to do with the source. I found the source and notified you of that fact after you tagged it as no source BUT you then updated the creative commons licence which I am saying is a redundent copyright tag due to the age of the book. For the third time I suggest these are PD. Do you disagree with me? We don't always just immediately accept what the source says but use our knowledge and experience of copyright to apply the appropriate licence where there is an obvious error or false claim, such as copyfraud. Ww2censor (talk) 22:53, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
The reason I changed the licenses is because on the permission section, the link says that the photos are cc-by-sa-3.0, thats why I changed it. I don't really understand what the problem is. Are you saying you want me to change the licenses to PD? 1989 23:03, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
I see you still don't get it. Don't just accept wht you see in front of your face. Sometimes it is not accurate and you need to use your experience and knowledge to decide if the licence claimed is correct or not. We need to think about what we see. It appears to me that you just do drive-by tagging: I easily found sources within a few seconds for images that you had tagged for deletion, like File:Jennifer Siebel Newsom 2.jpg. We should be trying to save images where possible not delete them. I'm just saying stop and think, and look around a bit, it's surprising what you can find and learn. Regarding the above two images I was trying to offer you some freindly education about it but it took another editor to re-reviewed the images and override you; they relicenced them as PD. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 10:52, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Well, Josve05a has more experience to license reviews than me, so I don't judge him for what he did, and thanks for the luck. I needed it. 1989 15:53, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Indeed he does, and so do I, which was why I was trying to steer you in the right direction. Cheers Ww2censor (talk) 17:31, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
If an image is tagged with a license review tag it's the reviews job to "ckeck" if the image is released under a free licnese on that page. It is up to the original uploader, or a PD reviewer, to check if the image is PD. The whole resaon to have a license review done is if the page changes license etc. In this case it just happened to be that the image was old enough to be under (relicensed) as PD, but 1989 license review was done completely right. Josve05a (talk) 17:55, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
I was not indending to have a dispute over this and strictly speaking the review was correct but we can also all use our heads a bit and relicence if it is appropriate, as was the case with these two, and that was all I was trying to show 1989. Thanks to both of you for your work. Ww2censor (talk) 20:39, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for flagging some of these up. If you are identifying a number of these, could you list them for the attention of Pigsonthewing please?

Please do not abuse with file renamings. You should not made such moving. You should reject them. According the COM:FR: Files should NOT be renamed only because the filename is not English and/or is not correctly capitalized (Remember, Commons is a multilingual project, so there's no reason to favor English over other languages). Please be carefully next time. If you will continue abusing rules, you may lose filemover flag.--Anatoliy (talk) 20:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Renaming of a file

Hello @1989: ,

You refused to rename « File:Insigne du bataillon de Choc Type 8 bis.jpg » into « File:Insigne du bataillon de choc type 8 bis.jpg » for a reason which is really not clear to me.

The name of the file is written in French language and it means « insignia of the storm batallion - type 8 bis ».

Indeed, the spelling appears not to be correct in French as it can be seen reading the name of the article 1er bataillon parachutiste de choc ; too, it is important that you know that the typographic recommandations about the military units stay in that paragraph.

Hoping that you will understand this request, and remaining at tour disposal for any inquiry, I wish you a good day (if you are not too far from Greenwich meridian).

Best regards. --Gkml (talk) 08:24, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Gkml, i also declined your request. See the rename guidelines, incorrect capitalization is not a valid rename request, que ce soit incorrect en français ou non. Regards, Thibaut120094 (talk) 08:52, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello @1989 and Thibaut120094: ,
I understand the two rules which I quote here « Files should NOT be renamed only because the filename is not English and/or is not correctly capitalized (Remember, Commons is a multilingual project, so there's no reason to favor English over other languages) » / « If a filename in a local project conflicts with a filename at Commons, the file in the local project should be renamed. Renaming it at Commons would mean changing it in 500+ projects instead of just one. » but those rules do not apply here because :
  1. the language is not English but another one as you know it ;
  2. for the time being, the image file is only used in the « French wikipedia » and it is not a problem to rename it at the Commons level.
However, it may concern you to know the reason why I decided to rename the files : a user — maybe me, I do not remember — decided to correct this pageor another one — because it was not in line with the recommandations I recalled earlier in the text. Doing the job, by mistake the name of a file was modified because it contained characters with bad capitalization, so the associated image naturally disappeared from the page and nobody saw that mistake immediately, but only some days or weeks later. Thus, renaming the file we were speaking of, the name of which has an incorrect capitalization in French, would limit the occurrence of that kind of mistakes.
After that, there will still be four or five image files still to be renamed in the same page. Before launching the end of the operation, I am waiting until the present step is solved.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards. --Gkml (talk) 13:13, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
It does not apply ONLY for English. It applies for other languages too. There is also reason for not renaming: Files should NOT be renamed only because the new name looks a bit better.--Anatoliy (talk) 15:22, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

OTRS ticket 2015013010014845

Hi,

On 4th February you made this edit, adding an OTRS ticket under the name of another contributor. Could you explain why this happened and whether you were acting as a proxy of the OTRS volunteer named? Thanks -- (talk) 23:39, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

The reason it happened is because there was a exact duplicate of the file, File:April Masini 1.jpeg, which had the OTRS tag. I copied the OTRS tag from the image, and placed it on the other image, so it wouldn't be a suspection to other users as a copyright violation. 1989 00:19, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Unwarranted speedy tag on Mindy Grossman.jpg

Hi, you placed a speedy tag on File:Mindy Grossman.jpg, even though it is clearly licensed under CC BY 2.0, as listed on the source file [3]: "Taken on March 7, 2011 Some rights reserved". Please remove the speedy tag, which I have rebutted on the Talk page. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 17:11, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

@Softlavender: If you looked at the description on the source, it states that the photo is originally owned by Rob Rich, and the photo is copyrighted by him. 1989 17:17, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
Of course it is owned by him, and he released it publicly on Flickr under CC BY 2.0; therefore it is useable by Wikipedia and anyone else who wants to use it. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr, and his release license: [4]. Please remove the tag. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 17:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
Viva Vivanista is not Rob Rich, if you care to look at the profile of the Flickr user, you'll see what I'm talking about. [5] 1989 17:36, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
All right, I see now that that uploader has uploaded images by various photographers. I will try to contact Rob Rich via the info on that file, and see if he will release the image under CC. Softlavender (talk) 17:43, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Re to OTRS request for my photo

Why do you request a proof of permission for this photo? It falls into scope of "I took the image myself and it hasn't been previously published (and there is no other copyright involved)." Tuluqaruk (talk) 15:19, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

"May be" copyrighted

Hi, I saw 30 deletion requests on my talk page. (!!!) Why delete files if you don't know if they are copyrighted? You should prove it and then do a deletion request, isn't it? And did you see theese categories? There are a lot of film costumes and props. Category:Film props, Category:Film costumes If are you 100% sure those files shouldn't be on Commons can you explain it to me, please? I see interesting photos that can be useful in cinema-related articles on wikipedia, why shouldn't upload it? It is also time expensive to upload, write descriptions, add categories... Please, reply. --SunOfErat (talk) 05:01, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Those pictures you have taken from Flickr are props from films that aren't even that old. Various companies own those props and costumes, and allowed the place to have them. I don't know if they allowed reproductive work (taking pictures and posting them on Commons) to happen, that's why I said the photos may be copyrighted. If the copyright status is undetermined, it shouldn't be here, because we don't know if the items are in the public domain. 1989 12:44, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi 1989. I see you're pretty active in OTRS and admin stuff. I assume people asked you already, but have you ever considered joining the admin or OTRS team? For both you will be a real asset imo.

The script to move media apparently has a (race condition) bug

Hello 1989,

I see that you have moved several of the files I nominated for moving. Thanks.

In some cases, like this one: [7] you first performed a move unrelated to my script generated move request, and then you rejected my move request with a summary 'No valid reason stated, see the rename guidelines'.

This sequence of events appear to be triggered by a problem within Wikimedia. When I used the script to create the move request, I clearly indicated that the old and new file name differed in the sense that a typo was fixed ('croped' to 'cropped').

However, by the time you reviewed my move request, the file had already been moved - with no trace of the move in the file history. This is really strange, because the move script will not accept to place the request in the file, unless the old and new names actually differ.

So something strange must be going on. Is it possible that someone else saw my repeated requests to move files that had the typo 'croped' in them, and then did a mass-move that does not show up in the history of each file?

Regardless of what actually explains the events, the move script apparently has a race condition bug. The race condition bug means that given a certain (unfortunate) timing, the move script will process the input from its user and although at the same time the file somehow gets renamed, it will place the move request in the file, without realizing that the move request has become invalid. Unfortunately, the created move template does not contain the old name, so it is not possible for someone like you to see what happened. But the fact that the move script will not accept to place the template on the file, if the old and new names are identical is a clear indication of the problem.

You are welcome to point me to another place, where I can try to resolve this issue.

Thanks.

Both files had already their source in the description, but a piped link was missing (caused by the upload bot Flickr2Commons ?). I've corrected this.

It looks fine. 1989 00:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Your leaving a template message on my user talk page, and then edit-warring on the description page itself, was pointless and unhelpful. The flag design dates to 1831, while the first version of the SVG file was uploaded in Feb. 2006 -- when the Information template was most definitely not required -- but nevertheless was accompanied by adequate information to indicate what the file is. Frankly, the "no source" template is supposed to be applied to files where there's an actual real problem, and not automatically and mechanically without real human thinking about whether or not there is a real problem.

Please stop mass tagging with no source

Please do not mass tag files without a source if you can fix the source yourself.

Example:

  • File:Helsinki districts-LansiPakila.png has the author "Paju" and the uploader is called "User:Paju" and the license is "PD-self". That should lead to the conclusion that it is own work. So just add "Own" to the source and the problem is fixed. If you doubt it is own work you can ask the uploader or start a DR.
  • File:TN02 109.gif has the source in the image "nationalatlas.gov" and the license is "PD-USGov-Atlas" where it says "This map was obtained from an edition of the National Atlas of the United States." That should lead to the conclusion that the file is from the National Atlas of the United States.

I guess that you want to help clean up Category:Files with no machine-readable source and that is fine. But if we wanted mass tagging without checking we could have a bot do the work. --MGA73 (talk) 12:49, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

I reverted because there was an issue regarding me implying empty templates, so I'm reverting what I did, then implying information templates with requirements filled, and I have to say that it would of took me a few days (maybe) to get them filled, so its pretty clear that I did not think this through at all, so I took immediate action. 1989 12:44, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
It'd take you a lot longer than an all nighter to get that them all filled correctly. I suggest you look at the greater issues you're causing. Bidgee (talk) 03:15, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Again VisualFileChanges

Hello 1989,

why you made again wrong mass edits?? "Source = Puplic Domain" is not' a source!! (~_~) Please revert this.User: Perhelion (Commons: = crap?)  13:42, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

I did it because it doesn't really need a source. It's in the Public Domain, and it's old art. @Steinsplitter: Should I proceed in reverting it all? Lazlo 13:46, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
You should never do mass edits if you are not sure... Ask before would be good, I mean this was said to you earlier...User: Perhelion (Commons: = crap?)  13:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
(tps) I would say revert all in good faith. Adding "Public Domain" in the source field is not a Commons norm, nor it is an agreed use of the information template by community agreed guidelines. PD images do need sources quoted, so that we can verify the image is the best possible from the source, any extra information at the source can be added, and the source country of the reproduction may be an issue for interpreting copyright.
Please avoid making mass changes that you are not sure will be uncontroversial or do not reflect an existing consensus. Doing a small test run and then checking on bots/work_requests or the VP may be advisable, before starting untested mass housekeeping bot jobs. -- (talk) 13:57, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

File Deletions

Hello...

I am wondering why two logos that I uploaded were deleted. The two files in question are Eagle99 AltLogo.jpg and Eagle99Logo.jpg. I work for Eagle Communications who OWNS the station and the rights to the logo. Further, I was asked to update the Wikipedia page for KSKG by the MANAGER of the station. We are trying to preserve the history of this great station and we feel as though our rights have been stepped on here to do so. Those two files were uploaded with COMPLETE CONSENT from Eagle Communications, Inc. and station manager, Lonnie Smith. Please let me know if there is anyway we can work this out.

Thanks, Terry

@Multichill: Having an author's name only, and not the title as well is misleading and ambiguous, because people who would want to search for this piece of art may not find it at all if they wish to search the title, even with the author included. Please don't compare this to the examples you saw to make you decide which is right and wrong. I knew very well what I was doing. MCMLXXXIX 22:00, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
No, you're wrong. You're applying the criteria way to liberal. Renaming should be done with caution. Being able to find something based on the file name is absolutely not a reason to rename a file. You're improving file names, that's not what this policy is for. Please stop doing that. Multichill (talk) 22:23, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Yes, heavens, please don't do anything to improve Commons without a rule specifically telling you to do it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:28, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Re:

No, check the sources closer, them are steaming. If the file has a source that is (or at least supposed to be) valid, the source shouldn't be removed: In DVR mode, Youtube stores only 4 hours of stream; any previous stream is lost, but this does not mean that the source is not valid (the same apply to dead links). For complex cases like this, should be better to nominate these files for deletion, and find concensus about that rather than removing the source field manually (and for these purposes exist the Rillke's LicenseReview script). --Amitie 10g (talk) 20:01, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Tagging copyvios

Hi, When tagging copyright violations, please inform the uploader. This is best done using the gagdet. See in your preferences to enable them, tab "Gadget", section "Maintenance tools" : "AjaxQuickDelete" and "Quick delete". These add links in the left column (or right column for Hebrew, Arabic, etc., language interface). Regards, Yann (talk) 21:37, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

@Yann: The reason that's not happening is because I was using Rillke's LR tool. It doesn't have an auto mode where it could notify users about copyvio unless it's Flickr related. MCMLXXXIX 21:41, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
Worst, the pictures you tagged are not copyvios. Please look better. Yann (talk) 21:42, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Photos

Hi 1989. In regards to OTRS permissions for the following files: Drew Tal 1.jpg - Drew Tal 2.jpg - Drew Tal 3.jpg - Drew Tal 4.jpg... Allow me to clarify the situation. The uploader uploaded all 4 files and mistakenly attributed them as "Own work". He later contacted me and informed me that the photographer of these photos is one Stephen L. McRae whom I later contacted in order that he provide you with the proper permission as per Commons:OTRS. Kindly, put up the proper OTRS template. Thanks in advance. --Omert33 (talk) 05:23, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

The OTRS received template I placed on the images was proper, it tells that the image was sent to OTRS, and that it will soon be reviewed. MCMLXXXIX 11:32, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Re: OTRS notes

Hey 1989. Rather than leaving notes noting related tickets, please merge tickets together when they're obviously related. See otrswiki:Help:Merge function for an explanation of how to do this. This keeps all articles related to one issue together and being handled by one agent. Thanks! ~ Rob13Talk 09:18, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of how the merge button worked until someone told me about it. Thanks for telling me this though. MCMLXXXIX 11:35, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Re: deleted files requests

Hi, I perfectly understand what you're saying, but it is how it works. If you aren't admin on Commons, it is much more difficult to process deleted files, and you'd rather work on tickets for new authorizations or do the tickets with the help of an admin that isn't OTRS (otherwise he closes the ticket by himself) that can check the file for you.

Working on permissions-XXX without being an admin in XXX is very difficult in practice, and it is one of the reasons (maybe the main one) I asked for adminship here. --Ruthven (msg) 11:58, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Why you removed Category:Panoramio files uploaded by Panoramio upload bot? Please elaborate. Thanks. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

I didn't remove anything. The category is still there. It says copying, not moving. I added a new category to the files to the bad names of Panoramio category so they can get renamed in the future. The category is still there, if you would of checked, which you didn't. My advice is, stop jumping to conclusions, like you have done in the past. Thanks. MCMLXXXIX 16:59, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Sorry, there was a copy&past error on my part. Why you remove Uncategorized. The file contains no valid category. And regarding your advice: please refrain from making wrong accusations.

Needless to say that i asked you friendly (not warned or blocked) you regarding the aforementioned edit(s). --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:05, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Cat-a-lot automatically does that. I did not intend in anyway to remove the Uncategorized template. If you want me to re-add it, I will, or you can have your bot do it, because I don't feel like getting another 5 minute timeout. MCMLXXXIX 17:26, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

OTRS received template

Hi 1989. When you apply {{OTRS received}} to files where you haven't actually reviewed the permission but are just noting the ticket number, please be sure to include reason=1 as a parameter. This alters the text of the template to make clear the ticket is awaiting processing. If this isn't done, then the text of the template suggests the permission is deficient in some way, usually prompting an administrator to delete the file after 30 days. Given the current length of the backlog, this would be problematic. ~ Rob13Talk 09:52, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

My apologies. That's happening because I use this gadget for OTRS reviewing. I wish it could automatically give reason for you, or at least options. MCMLXXXIX 13:44, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Typically, in the rare cases that I mark OTRS pending without processing the ticket myself, I manually go back and add the reason. Note that you also need to manually remove the reason if you review a ticket for a file marked as pending and it's unsatisfactory. Kind of hassle; hopefully someone will add the option to the gadget. ~ Rob13Talk 21:25, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

No. When I saw the ticket in the queue section, I tagged it so it wouldn't be deleted so soon.

At the time, I was unable to find anything on the source that verified the license that was placed on the file, and for the script I was using from Rillke, it would do that if the LR failed. I'll from now on add the no-permission tag instead, since it's more accurate to the situation than no-source. Thanks for the feedback! -- 1989 12:26, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Tasnim images

Don't forget to remove the "Tasnimnews review needed" category after you give Tasnim images a good review. It's easy to miss at the bottom of the page. Ww2censor (talk) 23:18, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Your email

You did not send me an email address for any form of confidential reply. If you'd like this discussed on open pages, it rather defeats the purpose of your original sending. Thank you for the "you've got email" reply on my talk page; if I had previously had a reply address I would have used it.

Since we have no private way to discuss this and you gave me very little time before putting out the "you've got mail notice" to consider your request, I am going to say that I cannot help you in this matter at this time. I apparently did not move at the desired speed, despite attempting to recover from pneumonia and being on my actual annual work vacation; so please find someone speedier to assist you in this regard as I will not be moving fast enough any time soon.

@Ellin Beltz: The email notification had nothing to do with "speed", I simply forgot to notify you as I am aware that most do not check their emails often.

Regarding reviewer request

Hello! I mostly tag blatant copyvios for speedy deletions. I did not keep track of them but https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/commons.wikimedia/Roy17 says there are about 160.--Roy17 (talk) 16:10, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

I can see that, the problem is you just recently started contributing to it, while still no contribution to COM:DR. If you really want the role, I’d suggest you gain more experience. -- 1989 (talk) 16:19, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
I first started tagging copyvios about half a year ago (I can't remember exactly), for mostly photos in China. Then I started to look at other images, especially new users' uploads, and look for FOP violations in other countries and images taken from the Internet. I started to batch upload images much later last November, because I did not know the existence of flickr2commons until then. I did have one DR for out-of-scope images Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Ling Chen V. To be honest, I don't like to DR, so I focused on speedy ones, and only one of them survived so far, while about 30 others are pending. Now I have confidence I can handle different cases, even for unfamiliar countries.--Roy17 (talk) 16:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
In my batch uploads, there are photos of US, Mexico, Germany and Australia, apart from China and Southeast Asia that I am most familiar. I would always check FOP and TOT requirements in each country before I picked on flickr. So far there's only one file nominated for out of scope.--Roy17 (talk) 16:35, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
I have already made my decision. You cannot convince me otherwise. If you rather not take my advice to receive consensus for the LR right, that’s your choice. Your nomination was supposed to be closed days ago, but no one chose to comment and I explained why in my reason to deny you the role. -- 1989 (talk) 16:38, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
I apologise if I said too much, but I just hoped that you could see why I had only one DR, since you could not see my deleted revisions. I do take your advice sincerely, but what else can I do to improve, unless I always DR instead of tagging for speedy? In the past candidates were often given some questions to test their knowledge of CC licenses, custom licenses, FOP, TOT and other matters. It was also puzzling no one else commented at all (perhaps because it was festive season). Could you please at least open it for a bit more, so that I could comment there? I actually had wanted to clarify what I wrote here when I applied, but I believed users would look at my records carefully and there would be no need unless prompted. Thank you.--Roy17 (talk) 16:52, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

1989, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and its subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons webchat on irc.libera.chat. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin webchat.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Ray Evrard Photo

Hi 1989, you recently deleted File:Raymond Evrard 1960s.jpg and File:Raymond Evrard 1960s Cropped Square.jpg as a possible copyvio. Specifically, it was noted that the copyright was held by the Green Bay Packers. However, this photo was first published much earlier than 2018 and is not held. As an example, the photo was published in the Green Bay Press-Gazette in 1974 (see here). I have also seen the photo in a few offline sources. The photo itself has never been published with a copyright notice. As such, I believe it fits {{PD-US-no notice}} and kindly request you review your deletion.

Processing {{copyvio}}

Hello.
Surely it is better to demonstrate over-caution hundred times rather than fulfill a bad request one time. But in this case things to be checked were:

  1. Licensing on the site (copyrighted);
  2. HTTP(s) Last-Modified: (May 2, 2018) vs upload date (2019);
  3. Age of the domain (18 years!);
  4. Age and reputation of the uploading account (negligible).

In these circumstances IMHO it would be safe to proceed with deletion. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:15, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

I have received messages indicating that several images I uploaded to Wikipedia Commons were possible copyright violations. I am now being threatened with a block for “continuing” to upload images that are copyright violations. I am not continuing to violate copyright. The images I uploaded were uploaded a while ago. The deletion of the images and copyright violation notices were sudden. If there are any more images I uploaded that get deleted in the future due to copyright, it will not be because I did not comply with various warnings because they were uploaded in the past. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryantriplex (talk • contribs) 22:18, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
