- Cherkash, I am sure certain mistakes you recently made were made in good faith.
- When you find an image that is a genuine duplicate, you don't need to call for a discussion for its deletion. Just put a {{Duplicate}} tag on the image description page. If the copy you think we should delete is a member of categories that make sense, you can copy them to the image you think should be kept.
- However, once the duplicate has been deleted, and redirected, we keep the redirect, unless the deleted image was only here for a short time, for the reasons I explained elsewhere. Geo Swan (talk) 22:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Geo Swan Thanks for pointing out the {{Duplicate}} tag, I wasn't aware of all it's supposed to help with. So will keep in mind for any future cases like this.
- As for the redirects being kept, not sure what are the "reasons explained elsewhere". Would you mind pointing to the elsewhere? Or just copy/paste here for all to see. Cherkash (talk) 13:48, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- My earlier comment was here.
- Bjh21 directed your attention to m:Don't delete redirects, an excellent essay I had not read before, but which I completely agree with.
- Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 16:55, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Picture stolen by wiki leaks of confidential USA government data
[edit]Pictures stolen by wiki leaks of confidential USA government data, sharing or even possession is that crime in the USA?--138.206.258.237 08:57, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- Nope!
- Years ago some elements of the DoD threatened that those who had a clearance to read classified documents were putting their security clearances at risk, if downloaded classified documents leaked to WikiLeaks. Those making this claim said that individuals with security clearances were allowed to view only those classified documents that were related to their jobs, or something like that. Viewing WikiLeaks documents wasn't related to their jobs. It didn't matter that the rest of the world was reading them. Professors with security clearances were warned that they might never get anohter government grant. Students who were planning to go into Government Service were warned that their reading of documents from WIkiLeaks could limit their career because they would then never qualify for a security clearance.
I haven't heard this claim, since 2012.
I work on some non-WMF wikis. At two of them I initiated discussions as to whether we should or shouldn't allow the use wikileaked documents. One of those wikis was directly funded by DARPA. I was told there that I could not upload any wikileaked documents, and that I shouldn't link directly to the WikiLeaks site, but that quoting or linking to third party sites was completely okay.
If simply possession was a crime I think we would know that.
Note, the strictures that site asked me to observe were only due to their funding. The WMF is a non-profit, supported by donors, so those strictures wouldn't apply here. Geo Swan (talk) 17:51, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
