List markup

Your edit here is detrimental to people who use assistive software, such as the sightless, because it makes your comment a separate list in the HTML markup to those that precede it. en:WP:LISTGAP touches on this, but in short you are putting extra steps in the way of them hearing your comment read out by their software. Please undo it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:01, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing: I was replying to the OP. Bullets are not meant for that purpose, see en:WP:THREAD.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:06, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm very familiar with that section, and indeed the one following it, where you will find:

Some pages (deletion discussions, for example) use asterisks (*) rather than colons for indentation. Generally, colons and asterisks should not be mixed; if you see asterisks are being used in a page, use them as well.

The several !votes preceding yours all used asterisks. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 00:25, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing: Oh yes, I found it, all right. You added it in this edit 01:07, 3 January 2015. I developed my method of replying on wikis about eight years before that, but I will try to keep your advice in mind.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:10, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Misspelling

Hello Jeff, reaching out to you this time for something you might be able to help: Karl Ral should be written Carl Rahl. There are quite some files in need to be changed and you might know of a user being able to do it "in one go". Thank you ever so much. Lotje (talk) 03:21, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

@Lotje: I was able to do it myself with VFC.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:39, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Y're a star Jeff. George E. Koronaios will be thrilled and I thank you very much. Cheers. Lotje (talk) 04:16, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
This is incredible. Thank you so much. I will be checking this out thoroughly. George E. Koronaios (talk) 04:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello Jeff, the word "university" is incorrectly spelled univeristy. Is there a way to correct at least the spelling in the description? Thank you so much Jeff. Lotje (talk) 13:31, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
@Lotje: ✓ Done, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3AUniveristy&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns6=1 is done and https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=intitle%3AUniveristy&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns6=1 is done in that all are redirects now.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:59, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Spelling mistake

Hello Jeff, these are all misspelled, cause it should read Fortress Louisbourg. Would you have a spare minute to have them renamed in one go? Thank you ever so much. Lotje (talk) 15:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@Lotje: ✓ Done, but it's only semiautomatic, see User:Jeff G./massrename.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:47, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
Thank you very, very much Jeff. I went and enabled the Advanced options. But that is, I am afraid, the best I am able to do right now . Do you mind giving me a helping hand when knock on your door again? Cheers. Lotje (talk) 04:45, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
@Lotje: You're welcome.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 09:47, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

misspelling cemetary

Hello Jeff, lots of cemetary of here. Would you go for it? Guess this semi automatic renaming is not quite my cup of tea. Thank you so much and have a good night :-) Lotje (talk) 04:18, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Devinwiki2023

I don't know about the flags on his user page. On the one hand, they have all the problems mention in the DR and he has no useful contributions. On the other hand, it's his User Page and perhaps we should let him do whatever he wants there. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:21, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: Does that include removing delete tags?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:25, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
They removed the delete tag while removing all the flags, which in a way makes sense (even if they do not communicate very well – I guess CIR may apply). Anyway no reason to remove what is now left on their user page. Suggest the deletion request be speedily closed with no action unless the flags pop up again. --TU-nor (talk) 13:52, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
@TU-nor: Given all this abuse, I'd rather let Commons:Deletion requests/User:Devinwiki2023 play out.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:22, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

NASA photo

Hello Jeff G, this is a crop of a satellite photo by NASA: Link. The Flickr user says CC BY-NC 4.0 DEED, but since it's originally a NASA photo is it public domain? -Artanisen (talk) 23:23, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

@Artanisen: I sent flickrmail about relicensing it.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:11, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Thank you, now it says CC0 1.0 DEED. -Artanisen (talk) — Preceding undated comment was added at 06:23, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

en-wiki admin hat

Re: your remark at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Tophania.svg, we tend to give people quite a bit of slack about what they put in their sandbox. If the user starts trying to turn this into an article, that's another story. - Jmabel ! talk 20:25, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

@Jmabel: mkay.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:26, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion

@Jeff G.: FYI, I nominated this file File:Motivation and Emotion - Lecture 06 - Mindsets, control, and the self 6slidesperpage.pdf following some of the advice you've provided on my talk page about previous nominations. How'd I go? Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk 08:10, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

@Jtneill: Not well. You used {{subst:Delete2}} instead of {{Delete}}, and you didn't create the subpage or transclude it. Notifying yourself as uploader is optional, whereas notifying someone else as the uploader or page creator is not optional. Also, "{{FULLPAGENAME}}" gives bad results when transcluded. Instead of a manual deletion request, please try the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar per COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests. Those tools use javascript.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:21, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi Jeff G. Thanks for this feedback. I'll try out these latest suggestions on the next nomination. Hopefully with a little bit of friendly and educative dialogue we can work out how to work cooperatively together. Thanks for caring about WC and it's community of users. -- Jtneill - Talk 10:55, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Crop Photo

Hello Jeff G., can you please make a cropped version of this photo? In English it's called Stele (not Steli). There is a high resolution version of this photo (same source) so it can be overwritten. -Artanisen (talk) 20:15, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

@Artanisen: ✓ Done, presenting File:Merneptah Steli (cropped).jpg.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:26, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: Thanks, a better filename would be "Merneptah Stele in Egyptian Museum (cropped).jpg" There could be an English translation of the description text. -Artanisen (talk) 22:43, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
@Artanisen: You're welcome. Do you need help with either of those?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:31, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Yes, can you do that please? The original filename is in Turkish so English would be better for international use. -Artanisen (talk) 08:22, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
@Artanisen: I added an English translation, but re the filename English would not be better for international use according to "Commons is a multilingual project, so there's no reason to favor English over other languages" (emphasis in the original) at COM:FR.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:17, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
You're right. I think more people would search for "stele" though. What about add "Egyptian Museum" and the year it was photographed "2023" to the filename? - Artanisen (talk) 16:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
@Artanisen: You are welcome to use {{Rename}} or our RenameLink gadget, or make an appropriate redirect.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:45, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Portrait of Immanuel Kant

Hi Jeff G, is this scan of a portrait of Immanuel Kant public domain? Because it was made around 1790. The website says CC BY-NC 4.0 DEED. -Artanisen (talk) 11:03, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

@Artanisen: Yes, please use https://api.ndla.no/image-api/raw/szb9c934.jpg and crop out or blank the copyfraud watermark in the bottom right corner.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:42, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, I've uploaded the image here and updated the source. -Artanisen (talk) 23:46, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
@Artanisen: You're welcome.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:02, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
