Commons:Categories for discussion/2025/03/Category:Screenshot images from VOGUE Taiwan YouTube account

Sorry, I considered creating a regular DR, but there were so many hundreds of files that I feared a regular DR would be declined for that reason. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:42, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G.: In this case, it would be OK to create such a big DR. I made it afterwards: Commons:Deletion requests/File:陸弈靜.png. Yann (talk) 19:23, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

block of Ademola01

Hi, would it be possible to unblock the user:Ademola01? Ademola01 was debugging the phab:T387979. I know that the reason for block was moving files and subcategories kind of in a way which didn't followed the Commons policies, but in this case I should have had better guidance on what files/categories are allowed to move and also try to use beta commons instead of real commons. (note. I am not sure that phab:T387979 would have been easy to replicate on artificial enviroment though so editing real files could have been needed for replicating the bug) In any case i will improve the guidance on what can/should edited --Zache (talk) 19:10, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ademola01 and Zache: OK, unblocked. The edits seem to be useless. Sorry for the inconvenience. Yann (talk) 19:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much and no problem. I will improve our guidance. --Zache (talk) 19:22, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File removal

Hi there! I noticed that the file Breno Mendes.jpg was once again removed from Commons for being classified as a personal photo. The image was uploaded for further use in the graphic materials of "Projeto Mais Teoria da História na Wiki," a History project focused on expanding discussions on underrepresented topics within Wikimedia projects. Breno will be the executive coordinator for one of our upcoming events, “Mais Negres em Teoria da História na Wiki”, and we require his photo to be used in event promotion and other related materials, all of which will be uploaded to Commons with proper attribution for derivative works. As explained to the user who had previously and briefly excluded the file, Breno was the one who took his own photo and uploaded it here. I was about to categorize it when I noticed it was once again missing. Could you kindly restore it to Commons? Best regards, Ana Vitória Farion (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 20:21, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:אברהם מרדכי חריזמן.jpg

Dear Yann, The media file (picture) in question is a copy which I took of a picture took in 1910, so presumably in the public domain. Can you help me straighten out the details for compliance with Wikimedia policies? Yours אמיר בן-עמרם (talk) 10:51, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@אמיר בן-עמרם: I suppose this is from Israel, so please see Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Israel. Thanks, Yann (talk) 10:55, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

According to this page, I should use the tag {{PD-Israel}}. But where do I put the tag? Sorry for bothering you, I am inexperienced in this matter. אמיר בן-עמרם (talk) 10:09, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@אמיר בן-עמרם: Hi, I did for you this time: [2], including a template for US copyright. Please add categories. Yann (talk) 10:48, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Image conservée

Bonjour @Yann,

Je suppose qu’il faut indiquer que ce fichier a été conservé à la suite de ce débat. Je ne connais pas bien les usages de Commons, donc je ne le fais pas moi-même au cas où l’action serait réservée aux administrateurs. Cordialement, Huñvreüs (talk) 14:28, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Huñvreüs: Ah oui, j'avais oublié celui-là. C'est fait. Yann (talk) 15:27, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion that may change your mind about deleting a file

Hello, please review this discussion, which has not yet been closed. By reviewing the content of the discussion, I may request that you restore the file. This is because you deleted it based on misleading and incorrect information. Thank you, and I look forward to your response after reviewing the entire discussion. Masry1973 | مصري1973 (talk) 01:14, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Masry1973: Since there is a free license at the source, I restored the file. A proper DR is needed here. Yann (talk) 10:04, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

Hi Yann, I just wanted to apologise for confusing your account with the admin who deleted the file. I was trying to address them, but have confused them with your name in the process. Please do accept my apology and thank you for the proactive measures you have taken to ensure the collabratory spirit is not ruined in the project. Épine (talk) 19:47, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:This is not a love song, œuvre de Didier Faustino. Cimetière des Rois, Genève.jpg

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has 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 it, 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!

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Obvodny kahal Embankment at west from Novo-Kamenny bridge.jpg

Hi! I didn't see that discussion (didn't get the notifications). Maybe this is "not uncommon practice", but I find this practice offensive to the author of the original photo. As the uploader of this file, I urge you that this file be removed from my uploads. Anyone can upload this again as they see fit. --Kaganer (talk) 09:51, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) It's easier for future undeletion to just hide the original image but keep the original uploader information. As I said in the DR, if Russia does have commercial FOP for artwork in the future, the original version can be immediately undeleted then. Abzeronow (talk) 17:15, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose this treatment of historical photos and do not agree to participate in their distortion. There is no value in preserving information about the original uploader. As the uploader of the photo, I ask that it be removed from my contribution. Anyone who sees value in it can upload it themselves, from the same source. Since you have made the decision to save this photo in a similar way - please upload it on your own behalf (with mandatory attribution of the changes made). --Kaganer (talk) 11:35, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Original version is deleted so that your name is hidden to the public. Abzeronow (talk) 19:50, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion requests/File:Christian Gasser2

Hi

This image does not infringe image rights. It can therefore remain on Wiki Commons. IJ1815 (talk) 11:37, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IJ1815: Who is the photographer? As it was published outside Commons before, we need a permission from the copyright holder via COM:VRT. Thanks, Yann (talk) 14:12, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Need you help

Hello @Yann, hope you are doing well. Can you please tell me if uploading [3] is ok. Its released under GODL, but has a painting of Golwalkar guruji which is someone else's work. Although that portrait is affixed there permanently and is accessible to all the visitors. Will uploading it here be ok per COM:FOP India? Shaan Sengupta^Talk 12:11, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Shaan Sengupta: No, FOP in India doesn't allow 2D work. How old is the painting? The picture is OK, but the painting should probably be blurred. Yann (talk) 14:10, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Block Commons

Dear colleague @Yann. I noticed you have block me on Commons, due to my inappropriate licence to edit picture ^[1] and I used, in good will, BM offered licence (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). But in next sequence I didn't understand well what mistake I made and You decided to block me. It was my fault. Please accept my deep apologies for this. I am 85 old and systematically study the history of Ancient Egypt. I have been editing on WIKI since 2009 and put more than a thousand images on Commons, without a similar crisis case. So I pleas you to open door into Commons for me again. ^[2] Sincerely Zemanst (talk) 14:23, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zemanst: Hi, I didn't block you entirely because you are here for some time. Please fix the license of your files, and you will be unblocked. If you need help, please ask on the Village Pump. Yann (talk) 14:26, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Yann

I have done for all files you mentioned previously. Do you see any further problem file? Zemanst (talk) 18:10, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Misunderstanding regarding undeletion request

Hi. You declined this undeletion request (File:A Castillo Picture.jpg) "as per Abzeronow", but I think you misunderstood what Abzeronow said (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!). I believe Abzeronow meant that the file was originally uploaded with an own work license and that it is this claim of original authorship that is "now basically untrue" based on the evidence provided (that being the city website), with the correct license thus being {{PD-FLGov}}. Curbon7 (talk) 19:18, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Curbon7 is correct in my meaning, I probably should have worded my statement differently. Abzeronow (talk) 19:19, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Curbon7 and Abzeronow: Ah OK. Fixed. Yann (talk) 19:23, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
