De-adminship warning

[edit]
This talk page in other languages:

Dear Mahagaja. I am writing to you to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of your inactivity in the past six months.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at the current inactivity run page within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

You can read the de-admin policy at Commons:Administrators/De-adminship.

Thank you, OdderBot (talk) 11:07, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you have a moment, could you do me a favor. I decided to occupy my time to list the no-FoP files in Italy. It has been a long and difficult work that needs to be reviewed by administrators. Please, could you check if everything is correct on User:Raoli/Deletion requests/FoP Italy? Thanks! Raoli ✉ (talk) 18:35, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Michigan Episcopal diocesan maps

[edit]

en:Episcopal Diocese of Michigan includes the southern half of en:Clinton County, Michigan, which does not show up on the map currently. I don't know how easy it is for you to change that. I wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to go about doing that, so you are my only hope...--Bhuck (talk) 09:22, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I updated it, but it seems to be taking a while before it'll show the new thumbnail. —Angr 20:40, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What to do with this file

[edit]

Hello.

By browsing uncategorized files, I saw this one from flcker, and I thought first to put a copyvio, but I’m unsure if it’s the convenient procedure. It’s clearly a reproduction of the Los Angeles Times, and I suspect that it isn’t possible to appose a CC BY License on such a reproduction. At the same time, I’m not sure about the rules for the use of a copyvio model on wikimedia, if it is the right procedure in such a case. Also the User page of the uploader don’t encourage me to contact him directly... Katastrov (talk) 09:26, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. —Angr 08:46, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Map Issue - Episcopal Dioceses of Virginia and Southern Virginia

[edit]

I just noticed slight issues in your maps for the Episcopal Dioceses of Virginia and Southern Virginia. The current maps show the two counties of the Virginia Eastern Shore split across the two dioceses, with Northampton County (the southern one) in the Diocese of Southern Virginia and with Accomack County (the northern one) shown in the Diocese of Virginia. Both counties of the Virginia Eastern Shore are in the Diocese of Southern Virginia--the Southern VA map should have both of those counties in brown, and the VA map should have both of those counties in yellow.

Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

NY Map

[edit]

What program did you use to add the data from the ny base map onto File:New York blank.svg ? Thanks 420Traveler (talk) 16:41, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@420Traveler: That was over 13 years ago, so I don't remember for sure, but it might have been Inkscape. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:11, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mahagaja: Ok thanks, ill check into it. By any chance are you still making maps like that? 420Traveler (talk) 13:39, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@420Traveler: No, I'm not. I simply don't have the skills required for making maps up to the currently expected quality. Few of the maps I made back in the early to mid 2000's are still in use. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:46, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!

[edit]

Dear Mahagaja

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

[edit]

Hello Mahagaja,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users

[edit]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

@Jeff G. It appears the Flickr user likely changed the licenses after the fact, as it ws reviewed after upload to be the license it is on Wikimedia Commons. As per Commons:Flickr, Flickr users may change their licenses after the fact but they are legally not able to revoke a license once it has been re-used to begin with.
