Account and media deletion

Hi,

I would like to delete my account of Wikimedia Commons and all of my uploaded medias. Is there any way to do this?

Best regards,Keio Cheer Unicorns (talk) 00:09, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@Keio Cheer Unicorns: Account, no but see m:RTV#How to request a vanishing and read carefully. Files, you are working on it. Why do you want to do these things?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:55, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I would like to delete these items as part of my online digital asset management. It was difficult to find an article with such detailed instructions, but now I can proceed with the task. Thanks for your kind support. Sincerely, Keio Cheer Unicorns (talk) 03:54, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@Renamed user H4bxvPbBvsDCr8: You uploaded File:Yagami River.jpg with a irrevocable Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. You should have carefully considered that before uploading.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

OK! I temporarily deleted this section to clean up your contents, but it was not appropriate. Sorry for that. Regards, Renamed user H4bxvPbBvsDCr8 (talk) 07:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)(former Keio Cheer Unicorns)

@Renamed user H4bxvPbBvsDCr8: A bot visits daily, and archives addressed sections like this one 8 days after the last comment.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:39, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for telling it to me! Now I’ve got it. Renamed user H4bxvPbBvsDCr8 (talk) 22:58, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Wrong message on my talk page

Hello,

You've accused me on my talk page of repeatedly violating copyright and threatened to block me without any justification.  None of my uploads in recent months violate copyright (they are my own photos).

I hope this is a simple recipient error.

Please delete your message as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully TCY (talk) 09:51, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

@TCY: In this calendar year: For File:Rue de Cimiez.jpg: you could have used {{G7}}. For File:Square et statue Aristide-Briand, Ouistreham 2.jpg, File:Square et statue Aristide-Briand, Ouistreham.jpg, and File:Statue Aristide-Briand, Ouistreham.jpg: you could have considered pcp.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:51, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

So for a few deletions that date back almost a year, most of them on a sculpture where, from memory, I'd made a mistake on the date of the sculptor's death which I explained in the deletion discussion page, and regardless of the dozens of trouble-free uploads made since then, I received your threatening message saying “that despite our reminders to order and our instructions.” (which I never received), threatens to block me.

This message is completely disproportionate and could be considered bullying. It is contrary to the rules of exchanges between participants in the Wikimedia movement and the recent Code of conduct. Too bad you don't recognize your mistake. I'm therefore deleting it from my discussion page. Another unjustified message of this type will force me to report you.

Regards. TCY (talk) 08:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

@TCY: Our original welcome message in 2007 referred to "our basic licensing policy", which phrase has become in your language "politique en matière de licences basique (Wikimedia Commons n'accepte que des contenus libres)". For File:File:Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris.jpg: you should have considered COM:FRANCE. For File:Joe Biden with Fatlir Sejdiu.jpg, you should have done more research. For File:Joe Biden with Fatlir Sejdiu.jpg, you could have commented at Commons:Categories for discussion/2022/07/Category:Freight stations.

For File:Lincoln Family.in Abraham Lincoln Museum.jpg, you could have followed COM:US and commented at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lincoln Family.in Abraham Lincoln Museum.jpg. You did none of those things. All of these (and more per your user talk page at the time, I could go on) were justifications for my standardized {{End of copyvios}} final warning, not a threat. I don't threaten to block here, Admins do that here. Also, justifications do not expire. Accusing me of threatening to block you without any justification is a false accusation, for which I could report you. Do you really want to go there?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:43, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Help needed

Hello Jeff, wonder if you could take a look at the extracted images of this file. 3 of them in total of Meta Lever, don't know how I screwed this up. Since they are all made at the same time, can you delete 2 of them? Thank you so much Jeff. Lotje (talk) 05:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

@Lotje: You did not specify the main subject Meta Lever in the photo and the duplicated mentions of her crop. I think this edit fixed it for you, please verify.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:04, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

1080p versions of old films

Hi, I don't know if you follow that page, so FYI: Commons:Graphic Lab/Video and sound workshop#Import 1080p versions. Thanks, Yann (talk) 11:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: All submitted with first links, I hope for the best.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

I am not sure what you mean, but there is no point submitting them to V2C, except overloading the system. I already tried that, and they failed. Yann (talk) 10:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: Well, I tried before you wrote that. Three were sent signal 15 (SIGTERM) and the other three got "Error: NoUsernameError: Failed OAuth authentication for commons:commons: The authorization headers in your request are not valid: Invalid consumer", but should not have.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

As I said on Commons:Graphic Lab/Video and sound workshop#Import 1080p versions, these videos are too big to be processed by V2C. Don-vip made some changes recently and restarted the system. So all previous processes have to be restarted. Please see the details on phab:T365154. Yann (talk) 13:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yann Thanks, but see phab:T369298.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yann I managed to get https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWRrniYAQDc uploaded to File:Anna Boleyn (1920, 1080p) by Ernst Lubitsch.webm for you, please attend to the licensing. Note that it turned out to be 720 pixels high, so a rename may be in order. I am limiting myself to two concurrent V2C uploads or one concurrent step.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:42, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Fixed, but I already uploaded a 720p version. Yann (talk) 09:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yann Sorry, I used the first external link at the file description page File:Anna Boleyn (1920) by Ernst Lubitsch, 720p.webm for that file at Commons:Graphic Lab/Video and sound workshop#Import 1080p versions. Which has 1080p?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:17, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Here. Yann (talk) 12:23, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: Thanks. Do you have a non-torrent, non-YouTube source for Storm Over Asia?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 03:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

IA? Probably the same 2.2 GB. Yann (talk) 07:04, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

To do this limiting, I am waiting until a download is complete before initiating another task; perhaps I should wait until pass 1 is complete instead, as pass 2 seems to be taking longer than anything else? I sure wish we had a percentage shown for pass 1 rather than the barber pole.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 08:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Given the recent failures, I am now taking a new approach: removing pass 2 and uploading from the concurrency calculation (that is, uploading after pass 1 is complete on all current tasks)   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:47, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jeff, I noticed some of your uploads of silent films have a copyrighted soundtrack, a copyrighted intro and additional end credits. All need to be removed. I do it myself whenever possible but the higher resolution transcode is not available for those. Thanks, — Racconish ^💬 13:42, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: You did the research on these. @Racconish: I would be happy to reupload any of these from Category:Videos transferred by User:Jeff G. and children which you identify without sound, but sadly V2C still refuses to overwrite, so I would theoretically have to add "silent" within the parentheses in the filenames.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, a new sound track was added to most old silent films, which should be removed when uploading. Yann (talk) 19:09, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Racconish and Yann: I'm sorry. I have been trying to upload silent versions, but sadly each time I try I run into either "Sorry, but files larger than 4GB can not be uploaded even with server-side uploading. This task may need manual intervention" or "Exitcode: 153". I hope fixes for those can be implemented, or someone else can come along with a better machine and process each file locally. I encourage overwriting them with silent versions, but sadly V2C won't allow that, either. Except one: V2C finally succeeded in allowing me to upload https://archive.org/details/maciste-in-hell-1925-by-guido-brignone to File:Maciste in Hell (1925, 1080p, silent) by Guido Brignone.webm for you, please attend to the licensing. I tagged File:Maciste in Hell (1925, 1080p) by Guido Brignone.webm G7.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:50, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

... and the non-silent version is now gone.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 08:11, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Another Exitcode which needs explanation is 137.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 04:17, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

@Racconish: I'm sorry. I have been trying to get v2c to upload silent versions of these films without subtitles but with new names since you wrote above, with only one success. Since the G7 window has passed, please delete the infringing ones, nominate them for deletion, or at least list them here.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:09, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Out of scope?

Hello Jeff, could you take a look at these uploads? imho this is totally out of scope. cheers. Lotje (talk) 12:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

@Lotje: Please see Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Fredkabogoza.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:46, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Jeff, I always feel safer when you take a look Lotje (talk) 12:53, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

@Lotje: You're quite welcome!   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Question

Question if you'll humor me, but what's your issue with me lately? I ask because it seemed like we were cool up until a month or so ago and I can't think of anything major that we've gotten in a disagreement about lately. Yet you really seem to have it in for me the last month for some bizarre reason. For my part I have no issue with you what-so-ever. In fact I was just talking to someone recently about how I wish you'd do an RfA again at some point. Since I think your one of the few people on here that isn't an admin but still has the expertise to be one. So this whole thing is really just disappointing and weird. I'd like to think your smarter then to try and get someone blocked just because they didn't ping in a reply to. So honestly, what's the deal? Adamant1 (talk) 01:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Pretty much the same behaviors that got you blocked three times.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:22, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm not going to relitigate the two blocks from Yann a couple of years ago, but there were both extremely spurious and only happened because he wanted to get his way in an editing dispute. One of them was reverted to. Although they existed years before you started the weird axe grindy behavior. So I find it hard to believe they have anything to do with this. I don't think that justifies you reporting me just because I didn't ping you either. So what if I got blocked a few times? Like that justifies grade school level false ANU complaints.

Your a smart guy. You at least have to know things like that just undermined the genuine complaints about how I act. At this point it's just impossible to filter the nonsense from the real issue though because of all the garbage I'm constantly stepping over from people like you. You and the other couple of people who constantly do it are just the boys who cried wolf at this point. I can guarantee that I'd be way more approachable and behave better if people like you just laid off the constant childish nonsense. There's plenty of people on here that I think are absolute jerks who should be blocked. But for all the complaints I get about how I act I'm not out there reporting anyone for super petty crap like them not pinging me. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
