Hi, I see that you undeleted File:PL Julian Ejsmond - Antologia bajki polskiej.djvu, but there is still old version hidden, which I can't make appear. Is this a bug? Happy New Year! Yann (talk) 16:58, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

@Yann Looks like a bug, yes. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:00, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Deleted image reuploaded

Hi Mdaniels5757. I notice that you deleted File:Luxury Richland Logo.png and that it has been reuploaded. Can you check and see if this new file also meets the same criteria for deletion? In addition, there are other versions of this file that could be considered for deletion as well: File:Luxuryrichland1.jpg and File:Luxuryrichland.png. The accounts (socks, presumably) who uploaded these files are Luxuryrichland00000, Luxuryrichland.xyz, and Valentin001818. Regards, Marbletan (talk) 14:49, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

@Marbletan: ✓ Done and warned. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:02, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi:

I deasagree with you. This is essentially the same photo as File:Trombe.jpg, just a tiny bit zoomed-in on the right side. It is from the same author and same original source. It was just uploaded on Flicker and mindlessly uploaded later on Commons.

Pierre cb (talk) 17:38, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

That means it's not an exact duplicate, so it has to go to DR. Since you've already nominated it, there's nothing more to do here. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Two days ago, I requested the split of File:MTA NYC Bus M42 bus at 1100 Avenue of the Americas.jpg from File:MTA NYC Bus M8 bus on 3rd Ave & 8th St.jpg. While the split was successful, the M42 bus image is still showing up in all the categories that are intended for the M8 bus. I too did several null edits, but it still didn't fix this problem. Why is that the case? --DanTD (talk) DanTD (talk) 21:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

@DanTD OK. I think the problem is on your end, but just to be sure, can you confirm whether File:M8 bus screenshot (for discussion).png and File:M42 bus screenshot (for discussion).png are correct or incorrect? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:17, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
On your screenshots they're fine. When I look at it, the M42 bus still shows up on all the cats with the M8 bus. Maybe the problem is on my end, but I have no idea why I can't change it. ----DanTD (talk) 21:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
@DanTD Maybe clearing your cache and holding shift when refreshing could help? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

File:Philippines road sign S1-4E.svg

Hi there, without contacting me you simply deleted this file - claiming it's a duplicate - which I happily believe you.

But where is the duplicate? If you would be so kind next time when you simply delete something - to point out to other human beings where is the duplicated file with the Philippines Dimensions as set by the DPWH of the Republic of the Philippines is so we can use that one?

For instance this search: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=S1-4E&title=Special:MediaSearch&go=Go&type=image results for me in 0 hits. SO please point out to me where the duplicated version is?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_signs_in_the_Philippines I checked this site where is the duplicate for the "Check Brakes" sign with the dimensions as set by the DPWH of the Republic of the Philippines, it's not listed there. Really looking forward to the comment why you believe it's a duplicate and thus why the work of creating this file per hand according to the specifications of the DPWH has to be deleted.

Mrgenie (talk) 11:17, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
@Mrgenie The file was claimed to be a duplicate of File:Philippines road sign S1-4.svg, but I just checked again and the dimensions and font were different (don't know how I missed this. Undeleted. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

What's useful with a bogus kept?

What's useful with this utterly nonsensical kept, that only stands there, because of some vandal inserted without ant thought bsome completely bogus deletion request on the other side? If it would have been some valid discussion about a proper deletion request, okay, but this was just plain vandalism. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ (talk) 13:47, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

It was not vandalism. It was a mistake, but one someone could make in the future. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
It was plain ans utter stupidity, the licence was not to overlook for any thinking person. Nothing like this will happen again. The template is just useless clutter, nothing else. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ (talk) 16:00, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

User A1Cafel

Hi, I saw that user A1Cafel has been blocked for violations. In the past this user deleted many images of Dubai that I uploaded from Flickr (with valid license) claiming they violated the FOP. I'm not sure this has always been correct. For example, I uploaded several images of pavilions related to Dubai EXPO 2020, which A1Cafel deleted due to FOP, but on Commons there are already dozens of images of other pavilions of EXPO 2020, all similar to the ones I uploaded. So I ask, is it possible to verify that the cancellations made by A1Cafel of my images are correct? Thank you Mario1952 (talk) 09:41, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Mario1952. I just reviewed the 5 most recent, and they all look correct to me. Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 13:50, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

Please check categories when redirecting to duplicates

Good day. I noticed that something you deleted and redirected to a different version, File:Bill of Fare at Andre's Restaurant 02-1974 (3953734634).jpg, was much better categorized (eg, "February 1974 in Colorado" whereas the one you kept is simply "Colorado in the 1970s"; the gone version was categorized for the city, etc. I'll fix this one, but please pay attention to this in the future - making sure information is not lost when redirecting to "duplicates" is an important part of the process. Thanks for your attention. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 17:24, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, must have missed that one. Thanks for catching it. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:30, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia Logos

Hello Mdaniels5757, maybe you can help again with moving some logos, but this time some more in once!? So...

Situation: During my visits in the area of the wikimedia logos I also felt on the Wikipedia logo, better on the Wikipedia logos. So the situation there:

I think when one area is structured in one way, using only one name if there is only one thing and not classic & 2003 or v2 & 2010. So what pair is better? What are the more precise category names? I think "classic" is not a good definition for a category and "v2" can also be misunderstood, thinking that there were only a "v2" and "classic" version (quasi "v1"), but there are already two more versions prior to them. So what to do?

My intervention was: I think using the years in brackets at the end of the names as a key for the different versions is more Commons like, more unmistakable and more clear than names like "classic" for a third version of something and "v2" for a fourth version (or 3.1 version). Using the years fits also better with categories like 2003 logos or 2010 logos, where no one of the logos or categories was yet connected. So for the sake of consistency:

  • I unifyed the names and renamed the categories with "v2" and "classic" in their name uniformly to 2010 and 2003
  • created own categories for the three older versions of the logo, see all in Wikipedia logo history.

Why I am asking? During this process I couldn't move all of the Logos to their renamed categories, the protected ones now remained on a redirect categoy which led to the following "Non-empty category redirects":

So if you can empty these Non-empty category redirects and move the protected files there to their renamed categories would be awesome! Thx a lot already!! --W like wiki good to know 00:06, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

PS: On category Simple SVG text logos is a similar problem. Regards --W like wiki good to know 00:06, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Speedy talk page attributed to "None"

I noticed that after "GeorgR (de)" added {{SD|F1}} to File:FB Collage.jpg, the bot notified the uploader by saying it was nominated by "None". This seems like a bug. If there have to be cornercases where the editor isn't known, perhaps the sentence could be skipped since "None" is actually a valid and linked username. Krinkle (talk) 21:25, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Huh. I'm not sure why it couldn't detect the nominator name, but I added some code to not print the nominator or have it be unlinked "Unknown". Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Ticket 2023011210010224

Are you completely satisfied that the email behind this ticket covering File:AletaHancockHeadshot.jpg is from the actual photographer and is completely genuine? I ask because the uploader, User:Jamesjones2234, has violated a lot of rules, including recreating a gallery, creating a sockpuppet, reloading deleted images, and extensive conflict of interest editing on WP (see Draft:Weston Hancock.

I note that Jamesjones claims that the actual photographer is Weston Hancock (son of Aleta) while the upload text reads, " Uploaded a work by Unique Nicole from https://www.instagram.com/aletahancock/ with UploadWizard." Also, at one point it was noted that this image is extracted from File:Hancock Family 2022.jpg which has been deleted three times. The upload note on that file says that the photographer was Craig T. Mathew from https://mathewimaging.zenfolio.com/. So, on the record the image has three different photographers.

Thanks, .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:58, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: ticket:2023011210010224 purports to be from Weston Hancock, and I'm satisfied that it's from them. There were no red flags in there. But looking at ticket:2023011110008766, it's actually worse than you said: there's apparently a fourth photographer, who also did not give permission. I'll delete File:AletaHancockHeadshot.jpg. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Deletion requests/File:BA 38 aerial view with ground scars.png - not speedy?

I added the speedy deletion tags to the file. I saw they were missing, but there was nothing in the file history showing their removal, so I thought I'd made a mistake and added them back. I know this image is not open-licensed, that its copyright belongs to the Metropolitan Police, they are specifically exempted by the Keeper of the National Archives (UK, the governing authority) from OGL licensing, and we do not have a license from the Met to use it. Therefore it's a copyright violation, right? Isn't that a speedy? Also, I am the uploader, and I am making the request. Doesn't that also make it a speedy? I normally work on Wikipedia, and these processes are a little different here, so please bear with my learning curve. Thanks! Dcs002 (talk) 01:17, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

@Dcs002 Yes, the file was speedy-eligible, but you also tagged the deletion request page, which messes up the categories. I just speedied the file and closed the deletion request. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:10, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
Thank you so much! I've made one big mistake and a few smaller ones, and I've learned a lot from this episode. I hope not to repeat these mistakes. Thanks for helping me to clean up my mess. Dcs002 (talk) 04:29, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

@Ricky81682 That category was a member of Category:Women wearing bikinis and high-heeled shoes while smiling and standing (which was a member of Category:Standing women wearing bikinis, Category:Smiling women wearing bikinis, and Category:Women wearing bikinis and high-heeled shoes) and Category:Women wearing black bikinis while smiling and standing. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Jiří Felger

Hi. I don't necessarily disagree that it "might" be useful to keep since it has a "No Uploads" template. But then again all their information, including the copyright status of their works, is available on Wikidata and there's nothing to put in the category. So it's not like anything is being lost by deleting it. Also, the clear consensus has been to delete empty unlikely to be used categories regardless of if they have a "No Uploads template or not. I don't want to set a precedent. For one it would just make certain categories, like Category:Painters from Czechia, unmanageable. The point in categories isn't to act as a faux way to find out if a creators work is copyrighted or not either. It's organize files into and in this case there are files to put in the category. So I'd appreciate it if you deleted it after all. Otherwise, I guess I could do a regular deletion, but I rather not waste everyone's time by doing one if there's no reason to. Thanks.

File:Southern-nazarene logo from NCAA.svg

Hi, I saw you deleted the file File:Southern-nazarene logo from NCAA.svg for exceeding COM:TOO. I disagree that this exceeds TOO; it's just a generic lightning bolt with three letters on it. It's certainly less complex than, say, File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg or File:San Francisco Shock (logo).svg. Similar to the sound waves in the San Francisco Shock logo, I think the lightning bolt in this image is a pretty standard visualization of lightning, and is "so obvious, familiar, or commonplace to diminish their creative nature or registrability" (wording from the USCO decision on the Shock logo). Could you please explain your thinking? Cheers, IagoQnsi (talk) 01:31, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing the Shock logo decision to my attention; I must have not noticed on COM:TOO I'm not sure about it's applicability to this case, I think this is a bit more like w:en:File:Pac-12 logo.svg than the shock logo, but it's a much closer call than I thought it was. I've undeleted the file, and am starting a deletion discussion with this conversation. Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

It's likely a number may be non-renewal or non-notice, but there are NOT PD-US-Gov.

I've also created Category:Henry G. Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection/checked in which to put the pre 1928 items. Assistance in ensuring it doesn't contain post 1928 items appreciated... ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:30, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Why did you restore this file? There is an UnDR open at which I raised two copyright issues. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:18, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Jameslwoodward. I didn't notice the open undeletion request. I restored the file because I received permission from the Image Rights Manager of the art gallery, who confirmed that the gallery owns the copyright to the image and the depicted work. I'll note this there. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:25, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks and apologies -- in rereading, "Why did you restore this file?" is far too aggressive for a simple question among colleagues. I should have said something like, "I don't understand why you restored this file? Perhaps you didn't see the open UnDR." .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:13, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi There : I have founds 3 photos of me on Wikipedia Commons from an event in the UK (WNBR) that I need removed please ...

I'n unable to discuss this on the noticeboards as the images involve nudity : is there a private/closed email where I can send you the links ? Images were taken without me knowing and have caused me problems with employer and family and comments on social media have not been good due to people objecting to the ride in the UK . Please hit back thankyou . Goodperson5678 (talk) 19:00, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

@Goodperson5678 You can email info-commons@wikimedia.org for help with this. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
I have already done this & they have told me to discuss this on the community deletion discussion boards, which I cannot do due to the nature of the images. If I get the original.poster to contact you, can you then delete the images? 213.205.194.63 22:56, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
@Goodperson5678 No, deletion will have to be through a formal deletion request, which can be evaluated by the community. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:26, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Question about VRTS permission at File:JFSS 2.jpg

Thank you for adding the VRTS template to File:JFSS 2.jpg. I was the one who suggested to the author that they release the photo under a free license. I believe that the VRTS ticket also includes permission to use all photos on https://www.randyselzer.com/ and not just for File:JFSS 2.jpg. If so, then what should I do if I upload more photos from that website, or if I come across more files on Commons originating from Selzer's website? FunnyMath (talk) 14:15, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

@FunnyMath The ticket says that the sender is open to allowing other media to be shared on an individual request basis, but does not provide blanket permission. So having permission for each photo is still required. If you come across more files without permission, I'd reach out and see if the author is willing to provide it. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Ok thank you. FunnyMath (talk) 15:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

My request for adminship

Hello! I want to thank you for your participation and input in my recently failed request for adminship. I take every word everybody said in the most constructive way and it is my intention to not only do my best for Commons (as long as time and real life allows me to), but to continue learning and helping out whenever I can. I very much appreciate your support, even though it was pretty obvious my request would fail, but I understand those concerns and considerations and will take them at heart. I hope to see you again, collaborating around Commons. Have a good day. Bedivere (talk) 03:20, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

@Bedivere Thank you for your kind message. I also hope to see you around Commons soon, and hope I get to  Support you for adminship in another request once you have some more experience. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:34, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Your translation-adminship

Hi @Mdaniels5757, Glad to see your request for CU. I wish you good luck. However, I have some concerns with your being into translation-adminship as well. I am able to see that you have not been doing very well with this right, though it is not a requirement, but so many jobs distract us from each other. Would you like to take it down? Of course, you can re-grant the flag to yourself whenever in need but I don't see the need at this time. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:29, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

@TheAafi I agree that translation adminship is not necessary for me, and just removed it. Thanks for noticing, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Protecting files

There is no need to protect files where I am fighting with these Russian bot farms. They immediately choose another file. Two times per day I rollback them to keep them busy in one file. In general, longer topic related to my admin activities in Wikidata Estopedist1 (talk) 20:28, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

My understanding is that this is w:en:WP:LTA/GRP, not a Russian bot farm. I don't have too much experience with them, so I'll be a bit less liberal with protection for you, but some protection seems to slow them down a bit. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
in Wikiata, we are trying to use different abuse filters to slower them down, but with little success. Hopefully Wikimedia will implement en:MAC filtering which may be an ultimate solution for LTAs Estopedist1 (talk) 06:35, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
Sorry for stalking your talkpage, are there any specific files? MDaniels, not all files are affected by GRP, he has quite specific edit patterns, especialy edit summaries. Please email me if you are interested for more information. A09 (talk) 22:43, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
@A09 Could you please confirm that Special:AbuseLog/9617956 is GRP? I was operating under the assumption they were. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
I don't think so. I checked linked WD object, but no GRP edit patterns were found. GRP usually just reverts you with multiple IPs (IP spoofing and/or VPNs) and marking you as "LTA/ustaše/domobranec/nazi/etc." He would also go to your contributions and revert some edits that aren't really connected to objects before (so like wiki-hounding). A09 (talk) 10:08, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
@A09 Even given the edit summary ("LTA!!!")? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:45, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
Might be Vikinger, which is oftenly misinterpretated as GRP. His edit patterns are also somewhat similar. A09 (talk) 16:57, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hey, I just saw that you removed some files I marked as duplicate, in order to “let the bot tage these” (e.g. [3]). Does this happen with all files with exact duplicates on Commons? And if so, I don’t have to worry tagging all of them, right? Best regards, RodRabelo7 (talk) 19:21, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

@RodRabelo7 Hi! Yes, OptimusPrimeBot tags all exact duplicates with {{Duplicate}}, which makes handling by admins easier than just the category. Note that "exact" means "files that show up in Special:ListDuplicatedFiles/have the 'The following file is a duplicate of this file' thing under 'File usage on Commons'", not "files that appear identical". —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:26, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Undeletion of PD images

Hello there. Admin Fitindia deleted the files File:Mlle Long Professeur de piano.jpg and File:Mlle Long Professeur de piano (cropped).jpg due to them not having a license. I was unsure of the correct way to license the file, but it is labelled on the BNF as Public Domain. As they have not replied yet and I saw that you were active recently, would you mind undeleting both files and tagging them for public domain? I am currently going through a peer review on an article the image was used on (En:Scaramouche (Milhaud) so would appreciate your response. Thanks, Schminnte (talk) 15:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Just a question but was the child of Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/11/Category:Surnames by continent meant to include the children categories? It seems odd for the main header category to be deleted but there was no Category:Surnames of Europe and Category:Surnames from Europe remains today. Ricky81682 (talk) 19:26, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

I think it did include the children categories, but there seem to not have been any (at least, I didn't remove any, looking through my contribs). I see this is being discussed at CfD now. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't see any. It seems weird to have that category without children though. I was an admin long enough so I'm a bit paranoid about listing every category involved in each discussion like I did for Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/03/Category:Surnames by ethnicity lol. Makes it easier for everyone afterwards. Ricky81682 (talk) 22:17, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Names of maps illustrating the Russo-Georgian War

Hello, I requested a change in the name of a group of files with incorrect politicized naming of the war (limiting it within the borders of the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict); the modern interpretation takes into account the fighting on the territory of Abkhazia and the active participation of Russia both in the conflict itself and in the preparations for it. The old filenames (e.g. File:2008 South Ossetia war en.svg) did not take into account the spread of battles over the territories of South Ossetia and are now considered both obsolete and promoting a marginal view of the war; these files may be named as "2008 Russo-Georgian war" either in the title of the linked wiki articles or in the pseudo-neutral form "2008 war in Georgia". Nahabino (talk) 12:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @MeepsterThe12! Welcome to Wikipedia/Wikimedia. The emblem was deleted because it is not under a free license, so it is not allowed on Wikimedia Commons.

Here is the process you would need to follow (I make no comment on the likelihood of success). You would first need to pick ONE account, and appeal its global lock by emailing stewards@wikimedia.org, explaining that you would like to appeal your local block and promise to only use one account and stop the disruptive behavior. It looks like your talk-page access has been revoked, so you would need to get that restored by emailing info-commons@wikimedia.org and asking for that account's talk page access to be restored. Then you will need to appeal the block itself, by posting {{unblock|your reasoning here, see COM:APPEAL}}. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:59, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Why these changes? [9], [10]? My purpose in spelling out the longer form was because it is self-documenting. I use this template mainly as a mnemonic help for people who come to the help desk with a "how do I do this"? They are usuall newbies. "Speedydelete" is self-explanatory; "SD" is not. - Jmabel ! talk 04:33, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

@Jmabel I made those changes so the reason shows up as "CSD G7 (author or uploader request deletion)" instead of just "G7". Perhaps changing to {{Speedydelete|CSD G7 (author or uploader request deletion)}} would accomplish both? Or just revert me, it's not like it's a big problem. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:12, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of Juice/A5 image

Hi, I just saw you deleted the File:Ariane 5 et Juice prêtes au lancement.jpg image I recently uploaded because it indeed was written as being all-rights reserved on Flickr, but I'm not sure this is fully valid as ESA clearly states (https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Copyright_Notice_Images) concerning publicly-released images that those "may be used for educational or informational purposes" and "may be reproduced without fee, on the following conditions (that I thought I had respected)", concerning moreover images related to a space mission so important that they would have no reason to place them under any non-shareable license (even though not being explicitely indicated as being under CC 3.0 IGO, but that image you can find as well on that link https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Juice has been widely shared by individuals). Is there something I'm missing with image licensing or do not completely understand ? I must say I've only recently started contributing to Wiki, so it's probable I may need explanations about image sharing regulations. MrSpockito (talk) 07:46, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @MrSpockito. Unfortunately, permission for only "educational or informational purposes" is not permitted on Wikimedia Commons. Only content allows commercial use is allowed here; see COM:L for more details. Images licensed explicitly under the "CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO" license are allowed, though. You may be able to upload that image as a non-free image on some other wikis, under their "non-free content" rules. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:34, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi. In November of 2022 User:Xharin nominated a bunch of images of coins for deletion because supposedly the website where the images came from no longer exists and you subsequently closed them all as keep because was no valid reason for the deletion requests. It appears that last week they renominated the images for deletion using the same justification, that the website where the images came from doesn't exist anymore. I was wondering if you could procedurally close all the deletion requests since they are clearly meritless. I'd list them here but it would probably be easier to just look through their edit history for them. I think the deletion requests are the only edits they have made recently. Thanks.

Hi. You recently said that the image https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Andr%C3%A9s_Rodriguez%27s_official_protrait_(1989).jpg should be deleted, why? It's an official portrait. I'm new to Wikipedia, but as far as I know, official portraits don't have copyright, and should be used on the person's article, that's why Biden has his. I may be wrong, if I am, please tell me. Guyermou (talk) 16:20, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Guyermou! Thanks for reaching out. It's true that works of the United States Federal Government are copyright-free in the United States. But other governments have different rules, and Paraguay has no such law. Therefore, things like official portraits are copyrighted there, and are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons until the copyright expires or the author gives a free license. Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the response! Presidential portraits of Paraguay are also made with the intent of being in the public domain, as seen in this Facebook post, by the Presidency, were it says "The Directory of Information communicates that president Horacio Cartes has authorized the use of his official photograph, which will now be part of the gallery of Paraguayan rulers in an official manner, it can be seen and downloaded in the official site" (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=539472596132122&set=a.143238035755582).
Both Cartes' and Rodriguez's portraits are on display in the Palacio de López and Cabildo de Asunción. So, in conclusion, I would say that it is in the public domain, therefore, shouldn't be deleted from WikiCommons. In case I'm wrong, I apologize. Guyermou (talk) 19:36, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
@Guyermou That's not sufficient to place the photo in the "public domain". Something is in the public domain when it is ineligible for copyright or its copyright has expired. Whether it is publicly displayed or distributed is irrelevant. If it is copyrighted and not freely licensed, we cannot host it. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Rollback functionality

Hello Mdaniels5757. In recent years I uploaded a large number of files on Wikimedia Commons, and every now and then I notice vandalic edits on my files from anonymous IPs. Usually it is removing captions or stuffing them with bogus random content or altering and deleting descriptions. Often I see the same bot-like vandalism pattern on other files when I look in the history of edits of the associated IPs. As per Rollback guidelines (“By personal request at administrator discretion”) I’m asking you to provide me with the rollback functionality. This way it would be easier for me to revert that vandalism. I could also revert incorrect edits on other files as well whenever I see it from the history of edits and whenever I’m certain it is pure vandalism. Thank you. --Argenberg (talk) 11:31, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Duplicates

Hi, Mdaniels

I have seen it - a few hours too late. Unfortunately I am not able to fix it myself :( . It was not my intention to uploads the duplicates. It was simply a mistake. I could add the duplicate-teplate if it helps. The duplicate files are simply superfluous and could be safely deleted... Draco flavus (talk) 19:26, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Did you not wait for comments? Did you not read my keep vote? This is useful on enwiki, and deleting it prevents anyone from doing that. You're not doing your due diligence in preserving what can be kept. This is constantly frustrating that people don't consider, if it's not actually free, it still holds an important use and can be hosted as nonfree on Wikipedia. ɱ (talk) 15:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

And you make your own decision about eligibility? Just because it isn't currently used doesn't mean it can't be. I would have replaced the current image in use. Commons gets so frustrating so often I should really stop contributing. ɱ (talk) 15:09, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Harpa images

Thank you for closing Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Harpa (concert hall) which for months apparently no one wanted to touch, and doing so in a thoughtful, balanced manner. As you probably noticed, I'm now re-nominating some individual files from this DR with individual reasonings for these particular images, as I think that some still should be deleted. For most of those you kept, however, I think I can understand where you're coming from, as the architecture in photos like File:Harpa (48707513313).jpg looks rather generic. - However, I've now noticed a discrepancy in licensing for several of these images. The photos by Jeff Hitchcock, taken from flickr (like that example), have a verified CC-BY license on flickr; however, in the Exif metadata there's a CC-BY-NC (Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Unported, see fields "Online copyright statement" and "Usage terms"). How are we handling such cases? Do we assume that the photographer changed his mind when uploading to flickr, as he explicitly chose the more free CC-BY license there, and ignore the contradicting (not Commons-compatible) license in the metadata? Gestumblindi (talk) 11:18, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

@Gestumblindi I think I've seen DRs go both ways on it, but I would ignore it and go with the freer Flickr license (assuming there are no doubts that the uploader is the photographer). —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:43, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi. If I'm not mistaken, File:Spine Shiver.jpg is the re-upload of a previously deleted file. Actually, it was deleted today by Krd and then re-uploaded in the same day. Kacamata! Dimmi!!! 17:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Example Please tell me why your reverting my deletions of redirects, when I'm correcting myself after uploading images only minutes before. Broichmore (talk) 08:29, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

@Broichmore I reverted your blanking of redirects because blanking the page does not delete it, it just causes problems. I didn't notice that the moved pages were recently created, so I will delete them. In the future, for such pages, either suppress the redirect when moving or tag the redirect as {{SD|G7}} to have it deleted by an admin, but please do not just blank them. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi colleague, a user has put into Category:Other speedy deletions nearly 100 tram-related categories, in which you recently reverted him (for another edit). Please take a look whether that tagging should be reverted also or they can indeed be deleted. --Túrelio (talk) 15:53, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Túrelio. I think those redirects are plausible, and that COM:CSD G2 (and C1) do not apply (see also COM:CATRED). But I already reverted once, so I want a second opinion from another admin (possibly you). Ultimately this doesn't really matter in my view (in either direction, I think there's no good reason these categories should be deleted and a minimal reason they should be kept). Perhaps it would help if User:Arflhn explains why they think these need to be deleted? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
I've invited Arflhn to present his rationale here. --Túrelio (talk) 21:19, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi @Mdaniels5757and @Túrelio
Those redirects were mainly my work and I'm probably the sole user who was active on these categories when those names were being used, however now I use a more "standardized" name Tram route XX (network), only "Tram line XX (network)" redirects may be kept as they are plausible.

Reverted edits

Hi, can you explain why you rejected my edits? All categories that were sent for deletion have incorrect names and are not used anywhere. The total number of false categories is about a thousand. I researched only the Svyatoshynskyi and Obolonskyi Districts of Kyiv Ucraniano2 (talk) 20:08, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

@Ucraniano2 "Kiev", although incorrect, was widely used, and people might try to still use it, so it is useful to have a redirect to the correct category so people don't create the incorrect category. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:49, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
There is no point in keeping false categories. As an option, I suggest creating empty but correct categories for all streets of Kyiv. Then there will be no need to create something in the future. False categories are not used anywhere and will not be used because they are false--Ucraniano2 (talk) 21:02, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Please apply a bot and remove all orphan-categories with the word Kiev in the title at once--Ucraniano2 (talk) 21:05, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
@Ucraniano2 Many people still use the name "Kiev", and we should keep the category redirects containing that word so the pages remain categorized as "Kyiv". I will not do the bot task you request. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:07, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Neolithodes bronwynae

Hi, Mdaniels5757. I was wondering if you might be able to undelete File:Neolithodes bronwynae dorsal.jpg (CC-BY 4.0 image here) and File:Neolithodes bronwynae front view.jpg (CC-BY 4.0 image here). Thank you for catching the copyright issue with [[File:Neolithodes bronwynae side.jpg]]. I only checked this image and made the assumption I'd made the same mistake on the three others. I know this isn't a formal undelete request, but as you deleted them on my behalf, I was hoping to ask you personally. Thank you very much, and I apologize for the mistake. All the best, TheTechnician27 (talk) 15:17, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

@TheTechnician27 ✓ Done. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
@Mdaniels5757: Thank you so much! As before, only the lower-res versions of those images are CC BY 4.0; thus, the high-res versions should (unfortunately) be deleted.

Request for deletion of three files

Hi, Mdaniels5757. When uploading a set of jpg a small mistake crept in. I would like the files File:Dramaty małżeńskie by X de Montépin from Dziennik dla Wszystkich i Anonsowy Y1891 No225 p5 col1.png File:Dramaty małżeńskie by X de Montépin from Dziennik dla Wszystkich i Anonsowy Y1891 No225 p5 col2.png File:Dramaty małżeńskie by X de Montépin from Dziennik dla Wszystkich i Anonsowy Y1891 No225 p5 col3.png be deleted.

Feedback to uploaders of Geograph photos

Hi MDaniels, is it possible to give feedback only in cases of problems? Making a research on about 2,500 English churches, I often import 10 to 20 Geograph photos per day. In order to make the filenames unequivocal (concerning the subject of each photo), but not too long, I always mark the origin with the abbreviation "GeoUK" and the Geograph ID number. If I would get a confirmation note for each of these imports, my mailbox would be flooded.

Best regards, --Ulamm (talk) 07:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

@Ulamm It looks like the notes you are getting are not "confirmation", but notification of a problem: you aren't adding the proper license tag. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:27, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
I had added "{{CC BY-SA 2.0}}", which to my knowledge is the proper license tag for Geograph photos. If I have forgotten it, within a few minutes I get an automatic warning, on which I add it, at once. Never I forget to insert, under "author", the link to the photographer's Geograph profile page. --Ulamm (talk) 10:43, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
@Ulamm Perhaps I am misunderstanding, what exactly is the "feedback" you are talking about? Can you provide a diff? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Revdels

Re: your request, I typically do post revdels as email requests (e.g.), but I figured in this instance, the only person who is hurt by them being publicized is me, so it was NBD. —Justin (koavf)TCM 20:12, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

@Koavf Fair enough, but I think besides GRP adding you to their harassment, they gain some gratification from the recognition that a public report provides. I think the best way for this LTA is to report privately to an admin to revert, revdel, and block (without necessarily reverting unless the content added is egregious, as then they will edit war and escalate their attacks). —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Prevent accidental broken upload

Now and then I spot files that are not audio files, yet still have the dimensions 0 x 0, currently there are 1254 files. Is there a page, suck as Mediawiki:Titleblacklist for titles, where one could write something like if filetype≠audio and dimensions are 0x0, prevent upload and prevent these broken uploads in the first place? Hopefully then the user can upload a functioning file. Jonteemil (talk) 03:53, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

@Jonteemil Many of these appear to be valid pdf files (e.g. File:WikiCon Brasil 2022 - Identidade Visual.pdf and File:WikiCon Brasil 2022 - Identidade Visual.pdf), so I don't think at least some are actually broken. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
File:Roundel of Antigua and Barbuda.gif was the file I found just before posting this. Luckily CropTool are often able to fix these. I guess most of these aren't broken, because they can be opened in my browser, however Mediawiki software apparently can't render them. Wouldn't it be better to restrict these uploads so a version which the software can render can be uploaded instead? Jonteemil (talk) 17:45, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Is there an expiration or cutoff date for Korea.net sourced photographs (I see a VRT template with a 2014 ticket)? The Flickr source for this says CC-BY-NC-SA 2.0 https://www.flickr.com/photos/koreanet/39760227514 Abzeronow (talk) 16:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow That ticket is a bit of a clusterfuck, further complicated by the fact that (among other things) it (1) was forwarded (which we don't accept anymore) (2) this discussion exists: [13]. I'd take it to COM:VRT/N for more opinions, but I probably wouldn't rely on it per COM:PCP because that ticket has red flags galore. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Free licensing problem

Hello. May I ask you one thing: I have seen this video from this site, and I wonder if I can upload these photos from this. This video is chosen the CC-BY, moreover the account of the video is verified from the Vietnamese singer, but I'm not sure if I can upload these images to Wikimedia Commons. Need you help. Thanks. Mickey Đại Phát (talk) 02:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

@Mickey Đại Phát It says "© Copyright by VIET VOICE ENTERTAINMENT ☞ Do not Reup", so I would go with that over the license choice and not upload. But the consensus at DR has generally been to pick the freer of the license choice and the description, so if you uploaded it there's a good chance they'd be kept at DR. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
You say that mean that these images will be stored forever without being deleted? Mickey Đại Phát (talk) 02:56, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
@Mickey Đại Phát I'm saying that (1) the "© Copyright by VIET VOICE ENTERTAINMENT ☞ Do not Reup" in the description means that the files probably should be deleted if uploaded, but (2) they probably won't be. Still, I wouldn't upload them. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 03:02, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, can you please restore this file? This was not the same file nor the same image that was nominated for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Neville Chamberlain.jpg. Thanks, ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 20:08, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

@Neveselbert (mobile) and Neveselbert: I just checked again, and the image was, although not identical, either a derivative work of the image represented in the file nominated at DR or an image created at the same time as the other, and therefore still not PD for the reasons the DR'd file was deleted. If you disagree, I'd take it to COM:UDR for more opinions. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
No, the image had different licensing and I specifically released the copy I created under {{CC0}}. I never nominated this file for deletion for that exact reason. Can you please restore it (and nominate it for deletion if you still believe it's not PD), as this file had different licensing to the other file. ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 20:37, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
OK, restored and nominated for deletion. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, I'll respond to it shortly. In the meantime, can you please delete the 14:18, 13 February 2020 revision for the file? I uploaded that by mistake at the time which Taivo deleted but you restored. ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 20:56, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Done. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, though for record-keeping's sake, can you please restore all previous version history (except for 14:18, 13 February 2020) while hiding the versions themselves, as it appeared before you deleted the file? Sorry if this is a hassle but this is what I previously agreed with Taivo based on his concerns for record-keeping. ᴀlbanɢeller (talk) 21:14, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Your closure of several deletion requests

Hello Mdaniels5757,

I'm a bit puzzled why you chose to close several deletion requests - like Commons:Deletion requests/File:70 61...6376 Maßskizze.png, Commons:Deletion requests/File:NHE 33 historische Aufnahme.png, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Humboldt C 102 historische Aufnahme.png, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Hohenzollern Typ Hamborn historische Aufnahme.png, Commons:Deletion requests/File:O K Dt 500 PS.png, and probably more - as keep with the rationale Commons:Village pump/Proposals#Allow old orphan works. That proposal was limited to works compliant with {{PD-US-expired}} (= created before 1928) or {{PD-1996}} (not affected by the URAA). But all of the files in the deletion requests I listed above are said to be German works from ca. 1950, so don't meet either of these criteria. 1950 German works are all still protected in the US because of the URAA, unless they are cases of {{PD-ineligible}} or so, which is not the case here. So I don't quite understand the reasoning to keep them because of this proposal and ask you to reconsider those cases.

Also, while this proposal was closed as accepted (by the proposer), there is no real consensus behind it, and right now there is a debate going on about this at Commons:Village pump/Copyright#Old orphan works. Please join the discussion with your thoughts. Regards --Rosenzweig τ 06:07, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

@Rosenzweig Thank you for catching my errors. I've went through and re-closed as appropriate. (Not that it justifies it, but those boilerplate nominations so obscure the actual reason for the nomination that it's difficult to close them correctly.) Thank you also for notifying me of the second discussion, which I will take a look at. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Low resolution photograph with no camera EXIF from a Flickr account that opened this year. TinEye doesn't show a hit, should I AGF here or file a DR? Abzeronow (talk) 18:53, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

@Abzeronow Neither: I tagged this and the other upload by this user (which has the same problems) as no permission; I think that this is better handled through VRT than DR (especially since if it would be kept at DR it would most likely be because of VRT permission). —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Correct renaming of files of paintings

Hi Mdaniels5757, I am often making requests for renaming files of paintings and I would like to do it the right way. In my opinion [the name of the artwork - artist (Institution).jpg] like in File:Unter den Linden - Eduard Gaertner (Kunstmuseum Winterthur).jpg is pretty explanatory, maybe also the year of creation could be added right after the name of the artwork auch as in File:Self-Portrait (1899) by Giovanni Giacometti (MAH, Geneva).jpg, but I am not sure as then two brackets might be confusing. Maybe the year without the brackets but after a coma...? What is your opinion about how to do it correctly? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:12, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Currently their is a double set of photographs posted by SECDEF staff. This is the first time I have ever seen a double set posted to Flickr. So, I only uploaded one copy of each photograph posted by the SECDEF staff. None of the photographs existed on Commons as they were just released to the public. The is not the same as downloading a duplicate of an existing file on commons. -- Ooligan (talk) 09:14, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
@A1Cafel. Also, I forgot to mention that I always use "Upload Wizard." Although it is slow, it warns of duplicates before you upload. In the unique situation above there were no warnings, because none of these current event photos ever existed on Commons.
However, "flickr2commons" (F2C) has a poor track record of flagging duplicates.

Your opinion about OpenRefine and its Wikimedia Commons features: two (!) surveys

Hi! You have recently tried/used Wikimedia Commons features in OpenRefine (uploading files, or editing existing files). I'm curious to hear how this has gone, also if you only briefly tried these features.

To help the OpenRefine team with future improvements, it would be immensely helpful if you would be willing to spend a bit of time filling in two surveys. (Yes, two! Each of them uses a different method and (open source) platform). Both will run until approximately end October 2023.

  1. A first, classical, survey (fully anonymous) where you can tell us how you use the Commons features in OpenRefine, and how you (want to) learn to use them better;
  2. A second, more experimental survey (also fully anonymous) in which you prioritize the features that matter most to you. This second survey is a bit strange in that you can 'just keep clicking'. Feel free to use it as long or as briefly as you want; you can stop any time. Please also add your own suggestions!

Many thanks! With kind regards, SFauconnier (talk) 10:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

File:Astronaut Chris Hadfield just gave Richard Branson his astronaut wings.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Reapplying for License Reviewer

I have an inquiry about the appropriate timing for reapplying as a license reviewer. Given that my previous application was unsuccessful, I am interested in knowing when it would be advisable to reapply. Additionally, I'd appreciate any guidance on how to enhance my knowledge and qualifications for a successful application in the future. Any insights or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 04:40, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

@Btspurplegalaxy Apologies for the delay. I'd suggest no sooner than 3 months, something closer to 6 months is probably better. In the meantime, tagging copyright violations, filing deletion requests, and contributing to other's deletion requests would help your next application. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 22:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. I'll do my best for next time ː) Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 09:13, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Delete file

Can you delete this file now that [15] was accepted? See our now archived discussion here. – Treetoes023 (talk) 03:32, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

@Treetoes023 Not without another deletion request: deleting superseded images requires one. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:11, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
@Mdaniels5757: Okay, I'll make another one. – Treetoes023 (talk) 23:24, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
@Mdaniels5757: The deletion request has been open for 7 days with no opposition, the file is ready to be deleted now. – Treetoes023 (talk) 19:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

accidentally calling your closure into question

I recently nominated File:Monica Elfriede Witt in uniform.jpg for deletion, citing your closure of this deletion discussion. I took your closure as precedent in the nomination, but it's apparently not as cut-and-dried as I thought and instead I've led to your closing being questioned. I'm not an expert on the matter, just basing my understanding on previous decisions, and would definitely like a consensus on this; not asking your to come down one way or another, but would you mind looking in on the discussion? Cheers, Fourthords | =Λ= | 20:38, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for fulfilling some of my older edit requests! I completely forgot about them until now!

Also, the description page of the image of the Malagasy woman used to be protected, so that's why I put the request. QuickQuokka [⁠talkcontribs] 22:43, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Request

File:赖莎·瓦西里耶娃.jpg - Wikimedia Commons - please delete it, I did not realize that I uploaded a copyrighted item. It is not my own work. And please freeze the discussion so that the nominator of this deletion, Хоббит, could not make claims that violate the dignity of a living person, my aunt who is depicted in the image, because he continiously attacks my famous aunt and these attacks are not related to why the image should be deleted. Erikradja (talk) 00:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

@Erikradja and Хоббит: Deleted per COM:CSD#G7. I'm not reading all that, but I'm guessing you both need to chill. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:59, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
I agree, but Wikimedia standards say that libellous and insulting statements about living persons must be removed immediately. So I would be really grateful if you removed the slander of me and my aunt from the Хоббит's comment and hid the change like other admins do. Erikradja (talk) 02:05, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your work, Mdaniels5757 Erikradja (talk) 02:08, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Prevent spamming in PDF files by new users, how it works?

Hi! I saw that you were the last one to edit the 281 filter. I'm not really aware of how the mechanism works. We held an event a few days ago where different archives around argentina uploaded a document related to the topic of this year, only one of them triggered this filter. If they wait the four days to become autoconfirmed, they should be able to upload it, right? Thanks! Mauricio V. Genta (talk) 22:43, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

@Mauricio V. Genta Yes, if they are autoconfirmed the filter does not trigger. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:06, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Importer for Yug

Hello Mdaniels, thank you for your engagement on this issue. Were my answers ok for you ? I know that this kind of request can take few months to bare fruits, so allow me to come back to you on this. Yug (talk) 19:18, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, looks good to me. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

SteinsplitterBot

Hi, SteinsplitterBot is stuck again. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:50, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

@Yann I've restarted all the jobs, they should run on their normal schedule now. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:31, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Actually, it's not obvious to me what's wrong with the webservice... —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

File deletions

Hi Mdaniels5757, could you resolve the following deletions requests?

Thanks in advance! — Chem Sim 2001 (talk) 11:26, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

because the registry entries are from an unknown author (registrar) and are freely accessible and a free work martin wolf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martin wolf (talk • contribs) 09:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC) (UTC)

@Martin wolf: I apologize for somehow never noticing this. The file was deleted because you did not add a license template. I just undeleted the file because {{PD-CzechGov}} applies. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Looks like you reuploaded it as File:Josef Schneiderka, matrika O.jpeg, so I re-deleted the one referenced above. Please ignore. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:51, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
