Hey

[edit]

Hey, I don't know if you saw that picture down there, but the picture is of my friend, her name is Anna Osaka and she wants this page that was made about her to be taken down!!! You don't understand Swety01 (talk) 15:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Swety01: Please add that info to the existing subpage Commons:Deletion requests/File:Anna Osaka Filmmaker Producer.jpg, and stop making new nominations for the same file until the existing subpage section is concluded.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:07, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I already put it there, thank you. Swety01 (talk) 15:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please delete these comments that you made as vandalism, this may prevent the page from being deleted. Swety01 (talk) 15:13, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Swety01: No, it was deleted anyway, despite your top-posted unsigned comment. I considered renaming the 2nd photo something like "Palm trees at sunset" if it was kept.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images from blocked user without categories

Hello Jeff, long time no Wikisee . these are all images uploaded by a blocked user. Guess they are related to people of Iran. Wonder how to proceed. thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 05:39, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding an automated response on the abuse filter talk page.

[edit]

Hello Jeff, is there a reason you ping Elcobbla you warn someone about filters 58 and 313? Seems a bit much. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 07:47, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chuck: That was about a private filter also tripped by WikiEditorJav twice, with numberless id "an abuse filter" and "Filter description: Spammer 2". I generally refer to that filter and other private filters as "another filter" on COM:FILTERT, and many times I have used a hidden ping to alert that Checkuser, who never objected. You are the first helper to notice such use. I surmise that the private filters are private to prevent spammers and other abusers from finding out exactly how they were detected (so as not to spill the beans). Please note that my responses on that page are not automated. They were all original once, and I copy/paste from Notepad++ a lot with some tweaking to work smarter rather than harder. Other notepad and clipboard apps are available on non-Windows platforms (I use devdnua's Clipboard Manager on my Android devices, for example).   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:44, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. I only noticed because the Mark admins gadget had a random link in the warning. Would you mind emailing me the txt file you use? If you can't, I completely understand. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 02:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chuck: The text is interspersed with lots of personal info, currently weighing in at over 8 MB. However, I am thinking of putting together a filter faq or adding filter-related stuff to our faq, with lots of anchors.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds great, or there is an essay that explains every filter, why its tripped, and what can be done to avoid it. Would be extremely useful for promotional filters, because rehashing the paid editor policy gets old fast. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 04:13, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alachuckthebuck: There is no such essay, I just summarize the filters I encounter on COM:FILTERT when writing about them. Avoiding them is usually easy: respect copyrights and follow the policies, guidelines, and procedures.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi Jeff G., for a start, thanks for your fixes to my syntax in the deletion request, and for your volunteering work of following and dealing with the copyrights of the images posted on Commons, a task that may get pretty tedious. It has been long since I last posted a deletion request, so sorry for my awkwardness in syntax, honestly I thought it would be more straightforward.

Now, I come here for a warning you posted on my talk page, which left me wondering what this is about. "You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions". What is this copyright warning out of the blue? What copyright breach? What images? I just requested a deletion for a map that provides incorrect information. That is also a commitment to guarantee readers receive accurate information. Sorry, it looks to me you misplaced the post. Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 23:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Iñaki LL: You have seven warnings on your user talk page for uploading unfree files, plus notifications about DRs for files that have been deleted. Today was the first day I visited that page. However, given the ages of those templates, please take that as an initial warning instead.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I came here to nominate for deletion a blatantly incorrect file, and I come out with an out-of-the-blue copyright warning not related to anything happening now, but years ago. The warnings were made back then by bots, usually due to a malformed copyright tag or due to an error when uploading with pattypan or openrefine, and fixed in hours by me. As far as I know, the image for deletion appearing on my user page belongs in the talk page of the uploader, not me, who is trying to delete it, or at least, to fix it. I am not the uploader.
So thanks for all the information on my faulty deletion request, but your copyright warning is just out of place, since it is not related to any copyright issues happening at the moment, and a warning is uncalled for. Iñaki LL (talk) 11:43, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Iñaki LL: Have you read {{Fcs}}?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
