[edit]Hello dear @Satdeep Gill I have cut another image for Amanza Smith's article with the app Polish and uploaded it to Wikipedia Commons. Unfortunately I forgot to rename the image before uploading. Polish 20230615 183912410.jpg is a very bad title.

Lot of thanks. Actually I am adamant because there exists problem in case of these government website. Bihar Vidhan Sabha updates their website after every election and old photos are deleted and news ones are uploaded. In this process, the candidates of previous election are lost and on English Wikipedia, there exists a lot of article about MLAs with no image, often similar names, which creates confusion. Similar is case with election commission website, i found that they have record of affidavit of candidate of last election only and prior to that, no record. PRS legislative research also uses their image frequently, since they are free.Let me show you, it will help you in case someone challenge your review.([3] & [4] (see, this is an image of a sitting MLA, who was elected in 2020 Assembly election of Bihar)-Admantine123 (talk) 05:34, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Your opinion about OpenRefine and its Wikimedia Commons features: two (!) surveys
[edit]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.
- 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;
- 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) 11:20, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you
[edit]Dear fellow Commons photographer,
I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.
At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

File:Masle Shiekh Farid Ke.pdf
[edit]Hi @Satdeep Gill. Could you please help with this File:Masle Shiekh Farid Ke.pdf, a manuscript in Gurmukhi, Punjabi? As far as I could dig up, it was published in 1962 (as a translation) and the original work is perfectly PD, the author lived several centuries ago. Could you please help look around any details about the translator? This would help ascertain when the translation enters into PD. Best regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 06:36, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- @TheAafi my apologies that I couldn't respond to this before. Actually, this is not a text by Sheikh Farid or a translation. This (Masle) is actually another type of medieval Punjabi prose and this one is about Sheikh Farid. The first chapter, which is copyrighted, explains that the rest of the text is from an medieval Punjabi handwritten manuscript. Descriptions establish that it is definitely out of copyright. So, I think the best approach would be restore the file after deleting the first 20 pages. - Satdeep Gill (talk) 15:24, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Satdeep Gill. I saw that you uploaded a higher resolution image of File:Sathish2024.jpg and wanted to ask if the now-blocked user had sent it to VRT. If it was User:Monhiroe, then I would place a COI tag on their en wiki page because I'm sure they are not the photographer. There is no other way they could have obtained that image without the knowledge of the subject or the photographer, but they have not disclosed anything on their en wiki userpage, so I was just curious. Any information on this would be helpful. Cheers Jeraxmoira (talk) 05:17, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Jeraxmoira Yes, I did receive the image via email from User:Monhiroe and got their permission to update the high res version. - Satdeep Gill (talk) 05:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Image of Ben Calvin Hary
[edit]Hello @Satdeep Gill Why should the image of Ben Calvin Hary be deleted? The image is on YouTube under a Creative Commons licence. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ben_Calvin_Hary.jpg Best regards Avestaboy (talk) 18:10, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

2024-05-28 (vulva) and 2024-05-29 (penis) deletion requests
[edit]- Commons:Deletion requests/File:Female Vulva Aroused 2.jpg
- Commons:Deletion requests/File:Female Vulva Aroused.jpg
- Commons:Deletion requests/File:阴茎男性.jpg
- Commons:Deletion requests/File:阴茎裸体.jpg
You deleted these files, on the same day they were nominated for deletion, based solely on these vague rationales:
- Random vulva photo, nothing special, unlikely to be useful
- Commons:Nudity#New uploads of penis photo, not special enough to be educationally useful
These deletion requests were all created by the same user, who has a history of creating vague deletion requests like these. Such deletion requests are not always clear-cut, as demonstrated most recently by another deletion request made just two days earlier by the same user: Commons:Deletion requests/File:BigClitoris.jpg.
That is really the sort of thing that should be up for community discussion. Please undelete these files so that discussion can occur (unless the files are truly useless for some reason, such as being very blurry, in which case please document that at the deletion requests). Brianjd (talk) 14:51, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Brianjd I have undeleted the images per your request. I do think these images should be deleted because two of them don't have any category at all and the other two are quite identical and are a part of a category with ~300 images already. But do have a link and suggest what your opinion is about it. --Satdeep Gill (talk) 10:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have commented at all the deletion requests. I saw no compelling reasons to keep these files, as expected.
- But I have seen so many scope-related deletion requests go wrong that I believe, on principle, files should not be speedily deleted based solely on scope. Brianjd (talk) 13:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Brianjd, thank you for your review. I have deleted the images per comments.- Satdeep Gill (talk) 08:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
You created this category with no parent categories, and uploaded a set of files that appear to be by a contemporary author and are marked as your "own work", with descriptions marked as {{En}} but which appear to be in Punjabi. I see the files have a VRT ticket and I know you are very experienced on Commons, so I assume legal rights have been sorted out, but could you please hook the category into the category hierarchy, fix the misattribution, etc.? (If you are indeed yourself Janmeja Singh Johal, "own work" is still a bit confusing here; it would be a lot clearer to use the name used in authoring the work.) Jmabel ! talk 23:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmabel Oh wow! This was an oversight from my side. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I have fixed the issues associated with the categories and the respective files. - Satdeep Gill (talk) 08:01, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
