Thanks

Thanks for help saving de picture of File:Bewoners kraakpand Vrijstaete.jpg. I completely missed that scheduling for removal, realy a pain that commons is this strict / radical in their judgements, and I do have the rights to post it. So thanks!

Boek, Koloniales und rassistisches Denken und Handeln im Nationalsozialismus

@Pelikana: - Hoi Peli(kana), ik heb het hele boekwerk gehad en een bedankbrief (het 'bewijsje" erbij). Leuk, dat had ik niet verwacht! Bedankt voor het melden toen, ik vind zulk soort dingen wel leuk om te doen! Groeten, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 14:41, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Graag gedaan. Ook aan mij hebben ze desgevraagd ook een exemplaar (Belegexemplar) gestuurd). Wel raar te lezen dat het beeld van hout is, dat slaat dan op het origineel in het Rijksmuseum. MvG Peli (talk) 17:10, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Geldershoofd en Gravestein

Richard, zou jij een categorie willen aanmaken van Geldershoofd en Gravestein (1 cat lijkt me voldoende), zodat we die kunnen koppelen aan het nl-artikel. Alles van Gliphoeve kan er natuurlijk ook in. Alvast bedankt,Ceescamel (talk) 09:45, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Cees, ik heb het kopje even veranderd. In principe staat het nu goed, moet het nog even checken straks. Commonscat is op NL toegevoegd. - Dan nog even kijken of ik het aan Wikidata kan koppelen en dat doe ik niet zo vaak, dus ik hoop dat het lukt. Anders komt dat nog wel of vraag ik het aan een ander. Ik kijk later in de middag even verder. Groet, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 11:47, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Redirect

Sri, I saw your request while running the process, so too late. I usually leave a redirect, because a wrong renaming can lead to losing "the rename rights". Greetings, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 15:25, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Richard, don't worry. I have read that "redirects" is a delicate matter; moreover, the solution is quite simple: I just have to request a C9 deletion of the redirect ;). Thanks for renaming and good WikiWriting --Mini92 (talk) 18:41, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

La sembradora de sueños

I don't understand the rename rejection reason -- are you saying I picked the wrong category? Arlo James Barnes 19:01, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

@Arlo Barnes: It was decline crit. 2, as mentioned. That does mean you may not favor a language above the other. That's not only for English, see crit. 2. In most cases you have to keep the language the name has. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

See;

---

As a matter of principle it's best to leave all files with generally valid names at their locations, even if slightly better names may exist. So for example:

#	Criteria to decline	Examples (old name)	Examples (new name)
1.	Files should NOT be renamed only because the new name looks a bit better.	File:TowerBridge'09.jpg	File:Tower_Bridge_2009.jpg
		File:Logo_correct.jpg	File:Logo.jpg
2.	Files should NOT be renamed only to translate the filename to another language and/or because the filename is not correctly capitalized. Remember, Commons is a multilingual project, so there's no reason to favor English over other languages.	File:Rathaus_bremen.jpg	File:Bremen_town_hall.jpg
3.	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 a lot of projects instead of just one.
4.	Files with copyright issues should NOT be renamed until copyright issues are resolved. There is no reason to rename a file if it is going to be deleted on copyright grounds.

Additional naming conventions and exceptions from the above list might be discussed for specific projects. For example, moving PDF and DjVu files transcluded at the Wikisources is problematic for those wikis and should be avoided unless the file mover understands the consequences.

A user repeatedly renaming files under invalid reasons can be stripped of the filemover privilege. Warning: certain cases of wheel-warring—such as reversal of a preceding renaming which had a valid reason—may result in removal of the filemover privilege even for one infraction.

I don't believe I was explicitly favouring a language over another, but rather favouring the title of the sculpture (which happens to be in Spanish) over a mere general description of the sculpture (which happened to be in English). Arlo James Barnes 19:29, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Could you address the comment above? As I see it this is not a minor improvement, but a significant improvement...the artwork goes from being imprecisely indicated to being directly referred to by name. And I think the language issue is not relevant, because while a title may be translated (as can happen in the file description), it unambiguously has a source language. Since a filename ends up being in some language, the source language is as good as any. Arlo James Barnes 21:55, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

You don't have to ping me here, this is my talk page, I always get a 'ping' on this page. I made my decision, I'm not gonna discuss my renames again, I did it 12 days ago. Maybe you're right, there are: you can request it again, so someone else can rename it, there are more than 1,458 renamers. Good luck. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 22:07, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for the unnecessary template usage, then. I considered re-requesting but wondered whether that would be considered bypassing normal process. Given your reply, however, I feel more comfortable doing so and have now reinstated the request template. Thank you for the discussion, and sorry for the disturbance.

File:EASY SHOP on Zhongshan Road in Hualien City.jpg

How meaningless or ambiguous name? The photo shows this store is on Zhongshan Road, Hualien City. If, as Solomon203 correctly suggest, that filename is not the way to name by the content shown in the photo what is the point of renaming a file?--Kai3952 (talk) 09:26, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Solomon203 sometimes only adds a date and calls it 'meaningless or ambigous name'. Usually I decline it, I can't remember why I renamed this one. So I renamed it back to the original name. You better talk to Solomon203, he did a lot of edits on that file and then requested it for rename. The same with the language problem, Solomon203 lost the rights for renaming for that. Because of this I will not rename files from this user anymore. Probably it was a mistake and I clicked rename and not decline. I can't remember. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 10:14, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

I tried it but it didn't work. I speak to him in his native language of Chinese on his talk page and I suggested he to read Commons:File_renaming, but he still take unnecessary renaming for files. It seems this is not because of language, it is because of his personal habits. Unfortunately at present I have no spare time to spend on him, so I cannot patrol the edits he made every day. I have asked many admins for help, but no one care about the concerns of abusing rename. It pisses me off whenever Solomon203 request for file renaming for the reason of 'meaningless or ambigous name' (it seems to imply that I have a problem with my eyes).--Kai3952 (talk) 14:00, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

For a long time I ignored his requests, because I knew he lost his rename right a few years back. I'm one of the most active renamers, so a mistake can happen. With the language I mean that he lost his rights because he renamed Chinese filenames into English ones and that's not allowed. I saw one today from another Chinese user and I declined at once. The result will be that his requests have to wait a long time, more renamers and admins don't rename his file's. Maybe his intentions are good, but he doesn't realize it. - Good luck - grtz. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 14:07, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

I have been here for nearly 4 years, but I very very very rarely request for file renaming, even with obvious errors like "File:Landslide scene on Alishan Highway 01.jpg". As you can see, not only did he not realize his own problem, but also attacked me personally, so I quarreled with him. To be honest, I feel he is a troublesome user; he always has many problems: First, without filling in the edit summary. Second, abusing rename. Third, lives in a world where he has no problem with editing. Fourth, highly resistant to corrections and suggestions from other users (including me). Fifth, sometime to do things beyond his ability. If you want I would like you to enlighten him on how to face the mistakes he made and help him edit files and categories in a better way.--Kai3952 (talk) 16:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok, that's a lot. I'm here for ten years, but already uploaded in 2007 via other users. Renaming for 5 years now I think, in 2019 the most, but this year almost twice as much as 2019. I quit for 95% at NL-Wikipedia (also 'user-things'), so here are less problems. So I'm not gonna guide him, I do this for special reasons. Maybe when I decline a request from him, I give him an extra explanation on his talk page. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 20:47, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

File renaming

Hi,

Regarding File:Ammonium alum dodecahydrate.svg, could you clarify how the renaming "Ammonium aluminium sulfate dodecahydrate" to "Ammonium alum dodecahydrate" is an "obvious error" (any part of criterion 3) or how "name too long" (move-requester's explanation) is an obvious error? DMacks (talk) 11:44, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I can remember this. I thought it was requested the other way (from alum to aluminium), so a mistake from me. (I see only 50-60% of the screen, but mostly I don't confuse things, but here is an example.) I already reverted it and renamed it back. Thanks for reporting it here! - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 12:05, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick fix! No harm, no foul. Pretty much anything from that editor merits close scrutiny. DMacks (talk) 12:22, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

And also User:Hoa112008, who is the same person. Well, if/when their block expires. *grumble* DMacks (talk) 12:27, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I see that name often. Very strange to make a name shorter? To make a sockpuppet with almost the same name is strange also. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 12:32, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Growing X Shlomo 1976.JPG

Richard; ik heb aangevraagd de titel van deze foto te wijzigen. Growing X was ook een kunstwerk van Koren, maar dat stond in het Rembrandtpark. Dat was een bosje over een soort sloot waarbij de twee rijen bomen een soort X vormden en nog moesten groeien. De bomen hielden zich niet aan het eerste en werden dus gekapt. Een aantal stichtingen heeft de namen verwisseld omdat dit beeld ook een X-vorm heeft, Vandaag weer twee bruggen en dit beeld beschreven; vorige week al het Bijlmer Parktheater,Ceescamel (talk) 15:17, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Nu nog even wat met dit beeld. Als ik jouw foto bekijk en de mijne lijkt het nu op een andere plaats te staan; kan dat kloppen?Ceescamel (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Ik ben er niet meer geweest, alhoewel ik er wel een keer gewandeld heb en toen stond het nog op dezelfde plek, een paar jaar geleden. Misschien meer groen, ik heb de foto van een afstand gemaakt. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 15:34, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

PS @Ceescamel: , ik zie overeenkomsten met een foto van jou. Als het al verplaatst is, zal het niet meer dan tientallen meters verschil zijn. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 15:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

File:22.2 QR Code Poem.jpg

Sorry to bother you, but it really is the case that 22.2 and 33.3 are different artworks. If you scan the actual 22.2 with a QR reader, you will observe that the poem consists of two-letter words, as described by the artist in the very first upload of this file: "22,2 is a QR Code poem written by Genco Gulan in 2010. The artist used 2 lettered words from different languages to create the poem." If you do not have a device capable of scanning QR codes, here are the contents of the actual 22.2: "22 ah al am an ay by by de di eh el en ex genco go ha he if in is it ki Ku la li ma mi na no nu of oh om on or os ox pe pi po Ra ri Ro so ta ti to uh us ve we ya yo!" This is indeed the conceit behind the two works: one consists of two-letter words, and the other consists of three-letter words -- the latter being 33.3, erroneously uploaded to the site as 22.2. This is reflected in the contents of the QR code erroneously uploaded to this site as 22.2, which are thus: "33.3 AHA AMA ART ASK BIG BIN BIT BOY CAM CAN CAY DAY DEV EAT EEL ERR FOX FUN GAG GENCO GOD GOL GULAN HEP HES HIT IFF ISM JOY KAL KEL KUL LOL MEN MOM NON OFF OHH PIT POT RED SIK SOK THE THY TWO UGH ULU UPS WAR WAY WOK VAZ YAK YAZ YOK YOL ZIP ZOO ZZZ" I wish I could refer you to an encyclopedic source concerning these two works, but sadly this is just original research as of right now. I will try my best to find a reliable source if you deem my findings inconclusive. Kolekant (talk) 18:53, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I first renamed it, but had doubts. Then I scanned it with my QR-scanner and saw that the poem begins with '33.3', but that doesn't mean it's the title. Everywhere on the internet I see as title 22.2 and the poem beginning with 33.3, so I reverted it. So I hope you can find a reliable source, there is too much doubt now. - Regards, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 20:49, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello again. After further research, I was able to find the exhibition catalogue of The Knowledge Series 3: Recollection, wherein 22.2 was originally exhibited. As you can observe, the 22.2 in question (page 18 of the PDF) is not the one currently on Wikimedia. On page 19, the artist mentions that the "text [of 22.2] is a poem which consists of two lettered words in all languages of the world," which again is incongruous with the file currently on Wikimedia, the text of which consists of three-letter words. I have also found a book titled Conceptual Colors of Genco Gulan authored by one Marcus Graf (ISBN: 978-3-86895-204-9). I cannot provide a digital copy of this one; however, it provides further confirmation of the actual identity of 22.2. My conclusion is that File:22.2 QR Code Poem.jpg ought to be renamed File:33.3 QR Code Poem.jpg, while the actual 22.2, being the same image on the aforementioned catalogue and book, ought to take the place of File:22.2 QR Code Poem.jpg, with its description intact. Kolekant (talk) 14:13, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi again, ok I renamed it again. Next time it's maybe better that other filemovers take a look and you just do a new request. But for now it's done.  Done. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 15:50, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the renaming. I will make sure to just create a new request next time. Best regards, Kolekant (talk) 16:10, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

File renaming - File:Filmregisseur Sebastian Marka - Februar 2021.jpg

Good morning Richard, thanks that you took care of my uploaded file. What I don't understand, though, is why you rejected the renaming into "Filmregisseur Sebastian Marka - 2021.jpg" (Film director Sebastian Marka - 2021). I accidentally named the image file "Filmregisseur Sebastian Marka - Februar 2021.jpg" (Film director Sebastian Marka - February 2021). That's obviously wrong, since the photo was taken on January 31, 2021, as you can see in the image description. Greetings,--FilmMusikUndAnderes (talk) 07:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Good morning, what's your first name? Please only use my first name if you have one in your username. Otherwise just say 'Richardkiwi'. The reason for declining is that there is some doubt about the copyrights. In that case it's not allowed to rename a file. You can find that in the criteria for renaming. Greetz. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 11:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Richardkiwi, at first sorry for the incorrect name and my renaming-mistake. Then the first thing I will do is to clarify the rights. Thanks again for your advice. Greetings from Germany,--FilmMusikUndAnderes (talk) 11:40, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

File moving

Hi, Richardkiwi. Regardless of the questionable rationale (4?) you accepted there, why without leaving a redirect? Strakhov (talk) 15:43, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Files that are older than 2018, I usually leave a redirect. This was 2018, I see, so I usually don't leave a redirect, as I just said. Sometimes I do it, when it's the questionable reason 4, but I don't remember this rename (I have more things on my mind). Why you ask, I missed something, or you just want to know when I leave a redirect or not? Sometimes filemovers don't leave a redirect on a 10-year-old file and sometimes they do leave a redirect on a one-year-old file. I make my own choices (and that is 2-3 years). - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 16:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

What I try to explain is that if I sometimes leave a redirect on a file that is not so old, people ask me why. If I don't leave a redirect, sometimes the same. So I made the decision a while ago to take around 2018 as maximum. It is possible that I didn't do that all the time, but I'm one of the most active filemovers, I can't see all, and I don't like questions about why I did leave OR did not leave a redirect. Sorry.. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 16:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Commons:File_renaming#Leaving_redirects. Read the three cases these moves ("Suppression of redirects") are warranted for. Which one applies? Anyway, regardless these ones are not files "with an obvious error in the file name," IMHO two years ago doesn't qualify as "recently uploaded file", remotely, so please, leave redirects. Anyway I'm gonna ask the community what's the consensus for "recently uploaded" and communicate that to you. On the other hand, IMHO you missmoved several files ([1], [2]) applying an uncorrect rationale: there's no a set of images there, just a user wanting the six files in a category to use the same name structure. Anyway, IMHO two years ago doesn't qualify as "recently uploaded file", remotely, so please, leave redirects. These images are for example a clear "set of images", this one is not. They are just some photographs inside of a category and a user deciding "City - Urban square name (number)" is a nice filename structure for them. Strakhov (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok, then I'm gonna do it strictly by the rules. Hope the other 1450 filemovers will do that too.. - Thanks and goodbye - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 18:11, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

You should not only mention me on 'Village Pump', I sometime take a look what other filemovers do and some of them don't leave redirects on really old files.. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 18:39, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Remove Redirect for George_Eliot_(1904_Mathilde_Blind).djvu

Hi, thank you for moving this file File:George_Eliot_(1904_Mathilde_Blind).djvu. However, it still has a redirect. Could you please remove the redirect so that I request to move File:George Eliot (1904 Mathilde Blind Real).djvu to File:George Eliot (1904 Mathilde Blind Real).djvu Languageseeker (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

@Languageseeker:

Hi, if you link to a file, please put : before the file, otherwise the full version will be displayed on my talkpage.

I don't understand your request. The file you want to move does not link to the redirect and I also have to leave a redirect if a file is not brand new. If I doubt, I always have to leave a redirect, although that was not the case now.

Maybe you can better place a new request, because most times I can overwrite redirects, but with the names above I can't do anything and I can't remove a redirect, that's only for administrators. If you do a new request and ping me on my talk page (here), I will try to rename it over the redirect. Regards, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 11:53, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Renames and harmonization

Hi, in the move of File:The town of Volcano, California, is named for its setting in a bowl-shaped valley that early miners thought was caused by a volcano. The early morning fog rising from the valley floor only reinforced LCCN2013633997.tif there were two potential issues with the move. To stick to harmonization guidelines, the unique LCCN reference should stay in the filename, and changing to something other than the original extension should be avoided. For example, though we can use "jpeg" or "tiff" that's no reason to move files from "jpg" or "tif". Thanks --Fæ (talk) 13:07, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Rename

hi Richard, thanx for your renaming. May be you know about: a script massrename exists - but I cannot get information how to use it. Because I want to move many files systematically I tried to look for a bot - but information about bots is too poor. Do you know which bots can perform file moves? Or where and whom I can ask? I could move/rename files, but to do that with more than 50 is a rather too tedious task. -- sarang♥사랑 13:27, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sarang, I have no idea. I never use bots, except the semi-automatic if I rename a file:). Maybe you can ask Steinsplitter? He has a bot and does the rename stats and more and speaks German. I did 50 renames or more a couple of times, but my browser couldn't always handle it, only if I didn't do a lot before that, but it's a lot. Good luck, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 17:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Respecting self identification on Commons

Hi, I have renamed a file against your prior rejection, refer to the edit comment at diff. This is based on examining the wikidata entry, and that Commons policies on deadnaming and respect are weak, but the rename is in the spirit of IDENT to my reading of it. If you wish to see a policy made, I can ask WMLGBT+ for some suggested wording for a general proposal. --Fæ (talk) 19:35, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't agree. Someone shouts something on Twitter a few hours ago and Wikipedia and Commons must follow? I know the person from television and other things, you probably never heard of this person before. Although I 'belong' to the 'lgtbi', that doesn't say I follow all the 'agressive' (there was once a discussion about Sam Smith on Wikipedia-NL with a lot of agression) people blindly. For me it's lg only, I respect tbi, nothing less, nothing more. My opinion is that you should have waited untill something is really official. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 19:53, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

It's more useful to consider respect for the subject's self-identification, in the same way as we respect courtesy deletion requests. As a volunteer has proposed the change on Commons, and there's plenty of evidence by published interviews with established journalists that this is the case, not just Twitter, so there's sufficient to meet the Commons approach of respect. This meets standards for journalists and is reasonable here based on these sources. We could do with a clear policy, independent of what sister projects in different languages might have or not have as style guides.

If you are interested in developing a consensus or Commons guideline amendment, I would be happy to raise this for a more general discussion in a few weeks time, and some preparation would be useful as I'd rather be discussing a set of cases rather than one. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 20:06, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm not interested, I just ignore requests like that in the future. There is a huge backlog. If I get to many comments, like in february, I maybe take a break. Further discussion about this will be deleted after I read it. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

I thought my file was useless.

I thought File:Cityscape of Sanggye-dong.jpg was useless.

This file is a useful photo that can be used as a cityscape photo of an urban redevelopment in progress.

I think it's a good thing that it hasn't been deleted.

Hallo Richardwiki, einen Ort namens Unkel-Erpel gibt es nicht. Daher bitte die Fehlbenennungen umgehend korrigieren, vorher war der Name richtig.--Tohma (talk) 09:10, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

@Tohma and Tohma: Hi, bitte in English. The requester of this, does a lot of requests. You're sure it's not correct? I can't just revert something, because you only says so. :-) Gr. Richardkiwi (not wiki) - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 10:33, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

I see you uploaded this files, so I will revert it. Can you explain the user that it's wrong, I'm not from Deutschland, he will understand your explanation better. :-) Grtz. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 10:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

User:PerfektesChaos explained it. It's good that you still have those files on your watch list. Because he is a trusted user (to me), I rename it (I sometimes try to check it, nobody is perfect, but a lot of places in Germany are too difficult), so I have to trust the requester. What I wonder is why people always see things after it is renamed. Now with a huge backlog, it can take days before files are renamed. In February, I got a lot of comments from a few admins (and one had things on his watch list), but they don't do anything while the file is still a request. It can be a coincidence, but don't understand why they always 'complain' afterwards. Maybe they didn't see it. Because I was the most active file mover in 2020 and a few file movers lost their rights a few weeks ago (sometimes for only a disagreement) and it were two active German renamers/file movers, I'm very busy now and there are less German file movers.. So I don't like that, but there is nothing I can do about it ,and I'm not gonna rename too many files. (it's a voluntary hobby, not work) / Ok, but it's solved. Thanks for paying attention and have a nice weekend! Greetz. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 23:11, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Renaming a Christie's file

Hi Richard, You seem to be doing renames that are not in line with the policy at Commons:File renaming. Are you aware of this policy? Can you please stick to it? This file was correctly named per the institution. His name as Pieter, which is correct; and their id numbers/negative number as a suffix, which is how our bots would have uploaded it. Broichmore (talk) 12:34, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm aware of the policy. This is dec. 2021, I can't remember that. Please don't come here with things that are 15 months ago. "you seem to be doing renames...". I rename a lot, so that can happen. Is your first name Broichmore? I don think so. My username, is Richardkiwi, not 'Richard'. Thanks. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 12:42, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

It are always the people who uploaded a file, who complain. Please talk to the requester (although it's maybe a little late now), I only added the name of the artist, as so many files in that category. That it was already in that category, should have been enough to decline it, but I can't remember things I renamed in 2021. So maybe I will take a break, I work my butt off here and all I get is a complaint, once in a while. The 'thanks' that I get, are only a push on a button, so I don't see that as real 'thanks'. Thanks a lot. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 13:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I do appreciate you Richardkiwi, and I am the uploader. I understand what you say about thanks, because I get seldom myself. I upload art and that is very time consuming, slow and painful. Broichmore (talk) 15:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

File:Verzweigung_Muri,_A6(N)_N6M-A10(E)_A6(S)_-_detail_map_by_OpenStreetMap_contributors,_2022.png

Hello Richardkiwi. You reverted this [4] because the uploader tells you that "T10" would be an "anachronism". In fact, a "A10" never existed, see de:Wikipedia:Löschkandidaten/2._Februar_2023#Autostrasse_A10_(Schweiz)_(gelöscht) (it was WP:OR). This street was called T10 until 2020 (see de:Autobahn T10). Since then N6M. Therefore please rename. It was wrong on OSM, it was wrong on deWP and we must avoid the wrong term "A10" gets widespread. --Filzstift (talk) 22:36, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Filzstift, because it was the uploader's request, you have to discuss that with the uploader. If someone uses criterion 1, I trust that is correct, except when I directly see it's wrong. So reverting this will lead to discussion or an argument with the uploader. If you want this to be renamed, contact the uploader. This is not my responsibility, as a file mover I already have a lot of responsibility, but this is asking for trouble, if I would revert it. This user has done 87.000 edits and is active for one year (under this name). That's not so long, but I think this is user was here before. It's not a new user who is here for a month and did only 100 edits. Such renames I will not do, or I will revert, when asked.

Of course, I want to help, but I can't just revert that. I'm not going to read all those pages in German. You already did. So thanks for your message and please contact the uploader. Regards, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 23:20, 13 March 2023 (UTC) PS if it was not 'uploaders request', I would revert my rename right now (when possible). If you are really right (what I believe), and the uploader refuses to request a rename, you can discuss it at 'village pump' or at the talk page of the file. If nothing helps, there is always 'user problems', but that's a step further. That's only if it becomes a real problem, and you see more things that are not correct, according to you.

Maybe the requester, @Enhancing999: wants to give a reaction here, because @Filzstift: probably thinks I will revert it and is not online very often (as far as I can see). - Thanks in advance, Enhancing999 ! - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 14:35, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Do I need to explain what an anachronism is and that "T10" is an anachronism? Enhancing999 (talk) 16:19, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Maybe to Filzstift? I'm neutral in this talk/discussion. I don't revert criterion 1, only when it's vandalism or really wrong. Thanks for your reaction, I'm waiting for Filzstift to react. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 16:31, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. Forget it, my english is too bad for a further argumentation (and "google-translating" the whole deWp discussion in VfD, various user and wikipedia talk pages ending in the deletion of the article "de:Autostrasse A10 (Schweiz)" makes no sense). --Filzstift (talk) 20:53, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Mass rename request

Hello, Richardkiwi! In case you have mass rename rights, could you please mass rename two sets of files in Category:Mingir memorial complex as so:

• Replace Monumentul la mormântul celor 128 ostași căzuți în al Doilea Război Mondial din Mingir. Complexul memorial adiacent - with Complexul memorial Mingir - (25 files)
• Replace Monumentul la mormântul celor 128 ostași căzuți în al Doilea Război Mondial din Mingir. Monument reconstruit pentru ambele războaie mondiale - with Complexul memorial Mingir. Monument reconstruit pentru ambele războaie mondiale - (4 files).

I described the reason here, here, and here – you can use the same description. Thank you in advance! Gikü (talk) 15:15, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, sorry, I'm too tired. Maybe I do it tomorrow (20 September), otherwise you have to request them the normal way. PS I don't have mass rename rights. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 19:35, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

I hope the last four ones are right, otherwise I rename them again. Regards, - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 11:30, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

@Gikü: Normally, you should request these files in the normal way. Now it costed me almost 30 minutes intensive work. You don't even thank me, or send a 'thank you'. I'm not a robot that you can instruct, or your dog. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 15:18, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I hate when this kind of miscommunication happens in the wiki talk pages. I checked here for a response for a couple of hours and then moved on, unfortunately I was not notified of any of your replies until you pinged me today – and the ping accompanied a reply I was extremely surprised to see.

At no point I had the intention to take advantage of you! Let me explain in detail...

I was a file mover for a while and I got used to this very neat button "Mass rename" next to "Rename" which allows one to rename tens and hundreds of files in a category in an instant, just by providing two strings – replace xyz with abc. It even allows Regex if I recall correctly. I was so comfortable just asking you to perform these rename operations because I forgot the Mass rename functionality is NOT included in the default toolset of a file mover! – it is actually a gadget one has to enable: Commons:File renaming#Mass rename. So, when I wrote to you I was convinced you could indulge my request very fast by mass-renaming – I swear I wouldn't have reached out to you outside the normal procedure if I assumed you were going to rename manually!

All in all, it is my fault for reaching out with a request the triviality of which I miscalculated, and subsequently failing to properly watch your talk page for your replies. I am very sorry, and obviously thank you so much for kindly responding to my request (in the painstaking way I failed to consider). Yours, Gikü (talk) 16:43, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

PS: Sure enough, here I have in my user scripts the massrename gadget; completely forgot that it was a gadget. That was dumb an honest omission on my part. Gikü (talk) 16:47, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

German Reich 1937 adm location map.svg

Hello! Please tell me why the file name was obviously wrong when even historians or a supreme court use this term for that country until 1945 which I proved on the file disk. NNW 09:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, German Reich was the constitutional name for the German nation-state that existed from 18 January 1871 to 5 June 1945. Although commonly translated as "German Empire", the word Reich better translates as "realm" or territorial "reach", in that the term does not in itself have monarchical connotations. So Empire is only a translation of the name, but not the name itself. The real name was Deutsches Reich, where German Reich can only be the exact translation. Just as in Dutch they call it 'Duitse Rijk', what is an exact translation means German Reich. What do you mean with 'on the file disk'? Grtz. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 12:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

PS also ask the requester, not only the file mover. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 12:57, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk page (not discussion page, my mistake): File talk:German Reich 1937 adm location map.svg. I already told the requester but you are the one who renamed the file, so you took his point of view and you are responsible for it. It was your job to check the talk page because there was protest against the renaming. Of course it is possible to protest against a wrong renaming request. Otherwise a renamer wouldn't get to know that there are things to discuss. As there are different ways in which the original German name is translated (see my links) your "obvious error" is obviously wrong. And by this you had no valid reason to rename the file. NNW 13:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Although I didn't see the talk page, I'm not wrong:

The history of the nation-state known as the German Reich is commonly divided into three periods:

• German Empire (1871–1918)
• Weimar Republic (1918–1933)
• Nazi Germany (1933–1945)

If German Empire would be right, it would end in 1918. Taking the three periods and the year 1937, the only name is German Reich, or would you prefer the last name, Nazi Germany? I don't think so. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 14:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I never said so. This is not about common or not common, it's about "obviously wrong". A minority usage of a name isn't wrong, it's just used by a minority. And if this minority can be found among historians or at a supreme court then this is okay. It doesn't matter which way you, Commons, Wikipedia or any majority would translate it, you have to respect the minority and the rules of renaming. "Majority" is no reason for it. NNW 15:08, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Poor behaviour not to react in a collaborative project but I'm not surprised. NNW 21:14, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

What do you say, don't insult me. Stay away from my talk page. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 21:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

You already renamed it back, so why didn't you do that earlier? You don't have to answer. CLOSED - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 21:41, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
