https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Effems&diff=prev&oldid=905527483: you are not an admin, and as far as I can see mostly this has been FOP issues or things that are out of copyright in Italy but not in the U.S., both of which are pretty tricky. I don't think you are in a position to say that the next time they do this they will be blocked. - Jmabel ! talk 02:29, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Anti iranic sentiment files in wikipeda

@Jeff G.. Hello,some people said that a file in Arabic wikpedia in the partArab world have some lieful files... It is true because of arabic population of The Khuzistan province is less than 35% today and of course most people of Hormozgan,booshar and Fars provinces are not arabic and Majority of them are Persian native speakers and minitory of them are arabic, turkic and other iranic languages speakers like kurdish and ... Please help to humanity with stop anti-Iranism in Wikipedia by the hand of some arabic ultranationalist liers .... Abolfazlsorkhi (talk) 17:32, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Transformer

Hello Jeff, would Transformer house or Transformer building or transformer vault be a good word to describe this kind of buildings? Since my knowledge of the English language is far from perfect, and there are quite some images of this kind of buildings, I knock on your door. Thanks. Lotje (talk) 09:30, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@Lotje: Of those three, Category:Transformer vault actually exists as a cat redirect to Category:Distribution substations, so I would use that (or a deep subcat like Category:Distribution substations in Oulu, which contains File:Distribution substation Oulu pre 1939 02.jpg, a similar pic of what looks like the same building with different shadows and zoomed in). — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you ever so much George. :) Lotje (talk) 14:38, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Oops, I mean Jeff of course

category name

Hi Jeff, you are a native speaker, I'm not. During the past weeks and months we had an increasing number of DRs related to private property ("you are not allowed to photograph my house as I didn't give my permission to do so" or the like). Most of these DRs are from Germany and France. I'd like to create a subcat of Category:Deletion requests by specific subject to gather them. How could that cat be named properly? Cheers, Achim55 (talk) 15:15, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

@Achim55: The defense would generally be FOP. Aside from Category:FOP-related deletion requests/pending, Category:French FOP cases/pending, and Category:German FOP cases/pending (and related deleted/kept/undeleted) cats, I am unsure. Why do these homeowners think they need to be asked for permission? If privacy or GDPR, I suggest Category:Privacy-related deletion requests/pending be expanded by union then country, starting below Category:Homeowner privacy-related deletion requests/pending. Substitute "Tenant", "Landlord", "Caretaker", etc. for "Homeowner" as necessary. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:50, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

It's not a FOP problem as FOP implies a copyright issue what doesn't fit here. It's a kind of misunderstanding of their rights regarding information privacy. They think that they own the right to prohibit the publication just because they own a thing (house/car/boat/dog etc.). On dewiki a page de:Recht am Bild der eigenen Sache has been made to make it clear that there is no such right (at least in German-speaking countries). I thought of Category:Property-related deletion request or would that be misleading? --Achim55 (talk) 17:41, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

@Achim55: I think Category:Property-related deletion requests would be more acceptable. Reading that page through Google Translate, I think a new industry in photo permits may arise. :) — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:52, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Jeff, thank you very much, will do so. Achim55 (talk) 18:01, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

wikimedia commons page

I am a bit confused and not sure if this person Deloar Akram (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Deloar_Akram) created the Wikimedia Commons page. It seems that after successfully creating this page, he might have created a Wikidata page as well. For the Wikidata page, it appears he misused the Google Search knowledge panel . He presents himself as a notable person, but he is actually not. I believe there are two reasons for this: self-promotion and lack of notability. Please look into this. https://www.google.com/search?q=islamic+university%2C+bangladesh+notable+alumni&oq=Is&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgAEEUYJxg7MggIABBFGCcYOzIGCAEQRRg7MgYIAhBFGDsyDwgDEC4YQxixAxiABBiKBTIGCAQQRRg9MgYIBRBFGDwyBggGEEUYPDIGCAcQRRg80gEIMTEyN2owajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Sonja1989 (talk) 15:21, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Sonja1989: DeloarAkram was blocked for a week here on Commons 06:49, 11 April 2020 (UTC) by NahidSultan for uploading copyvios, but appears to have learned from that. He is in the Global IP block exemptions group, the extendedconfirmed group on enwiki, and the autopatrolled, ipblock-exempt, reviewer, rollbacker groups on bnwiki. All of the Admins and higher level users that gave him those permissions can't be wrong. You are welcome to present evidence to Wikidata admins for deleting anything there, or to Admins anywhere for taking appropriate action. Photographers and subjects are permitted to create categories here for their photos and photos of them. Turning to your attempted edits, I regret to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/235 by attempting to repeatedly nominate for deletion a non-file page as a new user. Notability is not a valid criterion for deletion here. I suspect that you have a hidden agenda here. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:34, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G. Thank you Jeff. DeloarAkram (talk) 20:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@DeloarAkram: You're welcome. Now, you wouldn't happen to have a vindictive ex named Sonja born in 1989, would you? — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:26, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G. How can I do this? Can I open sockpuppet investigation against Sonja1989? DeloarAkram (talk) 20:29, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@DeloarAkram: Yes, but you will need evidence to present at COM:RFCU. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G. Yes. I check his global account, but he made just 3 edit by this account. So I have no evidence for creating sockpuppet investigation. DeloarAkram (talk) 20:35, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
