For the next 3 weeks, I will have limited activity due to personal issues. I'll still be monitoring my email and talk, but not doing much work proactivly. Expect up to 48 hr response times from me. Will be back as soon as time allows All the Best -- Chuck Talk 05:19, 11 November 2024 (UTC).

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

A (kinda) broken link on your userpage

Hey, I was reading your userpage and clicked on "I trust you", which forwarded me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGF, which is a disambiguation page on the English Wikipedia. I tried to fix it, to forward to en:WP:AGF on the English Wiki instead, because you trust me (<3), but got the really cool message telling me I can't really edit someone else's userpage (the filter flagged it because it's not an edit people usually make). So I'm writing here to notify you of it. TheBooker66, but call me Ethan (talk) 16:56, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much for telling me! I've fixed the mistake. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 20:34, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Rollback right given

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Commons:Rollback. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. _Regards, Aafi ^(talk) 03:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

WLKBot

Please note that what the WLKBot did to the subcategories of Category:Statens Museum for Kunst was not a bug. It was actually intended. Hjart (talk) 18:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Please explain, I was asked by the owner of the bot to rollback all edits after October 1st per this thread. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 18:34, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

@Hjart, Can you please clarify, rather than restoring the content? All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 18:38, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

What exactly was the bug? Please see User talk:Ham II#"in the Statens Museum for Kunst". I've been editing a lot of these files in the past. Hjart (talk) 18:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Please read the thread in WLKBot. It has been decided not to use "the" (Statens Museum). So please roll back the rollbacks that restored the "the". Cheers Rsteen (talk) 02:48, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Question about rights to pictures

I saw that you put needing permission labels on pictures similar to this one Александар Јованчев.jpg. These people are public figures in North Macedonia and the pictures are from public concerts/conferences and so on, as well the meta data is there on the pictures. What kind of other permission does the user need to add so that it doesn't get deleted? Because these pictures are for a photo competition for portraits of public figures, I will add the necessary categories and templates for the competition. Jtasevski123 15:58, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that, my request for VRT confirmation still stands, as only someone from VRT can handle it now (and I belive this is enforced by abuse filter) whatever the outcome is. When a new user uploads professional-quality photos with consistent EXIF, I am very suspicious, unless they are uploaded as a part of something like Wiki loves portraits, then I let them be unless they are found elsewhere on the internet.

Sorry but I am not familiar with these terminologies can you explain them? VRT confirmation? enforced by abuse filter? EXIF? and here is the link for the competition about portraits for reference if you need translation for the article feel free to ask! / Макпортрет 2024 -- Jtasevski123 21:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

EXIF is information about a photo, like what camera was used, lens, etc. VRT is the volunteer response team. Abuse filters are a way to prevent certain users from performing certain actions based on certain criteria. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 23:46, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
