File rotation

When this bot rotates jpg files, does it decompress and recompress the image? That is, does it reduce the quality of the image? Perhaps this should be documented on the bot page. --Robert.Allen (talk) 17:52, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

@Robert.Allen: See User:Rotatebot - it is using the same script. It will be switched off soon and replaced by a media wiki feature. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:54, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Delinker

Hi Steinsplitter. The last entry doesn't seem to have been completed yet. Was it removed by mistake, or does the bot normally take time? Thanks, and wish you a very Happy New Year! Kind regards, Rehman 09:30, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

@Rehman: HI, Don't delete the category before the bot moved all files. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:09, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Well.... Actually I am the one that requested SteinsplitterBot to perform the category moves. I requested it because I am wondering if that will force CommonsDelinker to do the category moves. But it turns out that your bot did that instead of CD. Besides, there are category moves requests that are over 1 week old. I hope you don't mind that your bot did the category moves. Thanks, ★ Poké95 10:34, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Happy new year

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:List_of_administrators_by_recent_activity - to be honest, I find the bot's counting to be a bit odd, could you please point to what actions are actually designated by the bot as admin activity? I might be a bit confused as to what constitutes admin activity, against what I see in the bot's summing up.... so any new year good will in providing the specific parameters in a link or somewhere, would be much appreciated. cheers JarrahTree (talk) 08:48, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

@JarrahTree: As described on the page, logged (= Special:Log) admin actions. Edits are not counted. Happy new year as well :-) --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:27, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
yeah, I reckon there is a dependant factor in log summary that chooses deletes with specific summaries as constituting an admin action, versus others which it discounts, imho, but havent put a finger on the specifics yet JarrahTree (talk) 12:09, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Raison d'une autorisation qui se fait attendre

Bonjour (et bonne année 2016 !) Steinsplitter,

après un mois et demi sans réponse du maire de Lans-en-Vercors, j'ai recontacté son assistante aujourd'hui pour savoir ce qu'il en était de l'autorisation (ou non) à publier File:Lans-en-Vercors. Jacques-Antoine Biboud.JPG.

Your help?

Could you review & comment on Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Robert Alexandrovich please? I think the uploader is missing the concept of not uploading more of same after being told not own work which he acknowledges and then ignored completely on his next batch of same uploads. My gut feeling is that as a "Mrs." I'm not being taken seriously. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:59, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Cross-wiki upload from pt.wikipedia.org

Hi Steinsplitter! Ist es möglich, für die Upload-Markierung "Cross-wiki upload from pt.wikipedia.org" einen Filter zu setzen (im Resultat ähnlich wie hier(dort ging es um T120867)? Google indexiert zwar ein paar Bilder (größtenteils erst jetzt getaggte copyvios/etc.) aber ich würde gerne uploads aus meiner Heimatwiki besser scannen wollen. Momentan finde ich ptwiki relevante uploads eher nur zufällig. Vielleicht gibt es auch eine andere Art und Weise, uploads von ptwiki-Benutzer zu filtern... Was meinst Du?

File 2nd nom

Hi Steinsplitter, I don't plan on renominating the file again and again but I was explicitly told here to renominate for a second opinion and as we don't have a DRV I was left with no other choice was I ?....
Also as I said on the second deletion request if someone can actually provide a reason for keeping then I'd be more than happy to withdraw but as it stands there hasn't actually been any reasons for keeping which is why I renominated it,
I appreciate after the first incident you may think "Oh I'm a disruptive editor" but that's not true - Simple fact is I've deleted loads of images like this so you can kinda understand why I'm confused on everyone !!voting Keep on this ,
Anyway thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

User:Co9man block?

Hi,

I just noticed that you indefinitely blocked User:Co9man.

Although I was concerned and frustrated that he had been importing Flickr images with little regard to quality (hence the large quantity of auto-generated messages from me on his page), I didn't notice anything deliberately malicious.

Has this user been doing anything inappropriate with these alleged sockpuppet accounts, and does this have any bearing on how his uploads (including those I'm dealing with) should be treated? Ubcule (talk) 23:06, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Additional; it appears that this is a follow-on from his being blocked at en.wikipedia, so I'm assuming it's not directly related to what he's done here...? Ubcule (talk) 23:25, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Wrong years

Hello! You changed Category:Winter of 2013-2014 in Sweden to Category:Winter 2003-2004 in Sweden. Those are not the same years. Edaen (talk) 12:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

It is not him that changed the category, but it is his bot. It seems someone requested his bot to perform category moves. It is one of the tasks SteinsplitterBot's doing.

Template:Category redirect

Your pseudo-fix here does not work at all!

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Category_redirect&diff=next&oldid=162012173

In fact you have broken the test of non-empty categories, because the parameter 1 is only a category name (without any namespace) but you test it with "{{NAMESPACE:{{{1}}} }}" which is empty because parameter 1 is NOT a FULL page name.

Revert it, because now we've got ALL non-empty categories not listed in their redirected category were they were (as long as the source category was not empty).

Also the test with "{{PAGESINCAT:{{{1}}}|R}}" still does not work for any category name in parameter 1 that contains (during template expansion) some characters that are HTML-encoded (notably the ASCII apostrophe or ampersand), as it will always return 0 (so even if the redirected source category is not empty, it is not detected):

  • Note that this includes any parameter value that were actually not HTML-encoded in the source page using "{{Category redirect|New category name}}", because MediaWiki prematurely HTML-encode them (notably any standalone apostrophes not used for bold/italic styles, or standalone ampersands, as well as standalone lower-than and higher-than signs, or standalone braces) while parsing the page, before expanding templates).
  • MediaWiki should have never HTML-encoded these characters during the parsing step, but this is left for compatiblity reason (because there are a few templates using this to detect presence of some restricted characters).
  • This is an old unfixed bug of MediaWiki, because PAGEINCAT actually still does not HTML-decode its parameter (and consequently, cannot find any category with the given name, so it returns 0).
  • However, PAGESINCAT still ignores that fact and should have been corrected to work as expected (the bug and its proposed fix is signaled since several years).
  • The workaround is simple, use: "{{PAGESINCAT:{{#titleparts:{{{1}}}}}|R}}", where #titleparts will HTML-decode its parameter (it won't be HTML-encoded once again because we are no longer in the page-parsing step, but still in the template expansion step.

Thanks. verdy_p (talk) 12:27, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

My block

You blocked me to quickly, Steinsplitter.

There are two things going on here. First, Multichill reported me on that page for my uploads. A legitimate report. Secondly, Fæ intervened and in no time Fae, among other things, accused me of stealing images and described an upload from a file from the Bosch restoration group as the colours are so bizarrely false that the image is like a cartoon parody of the original. Fae made this discussion into a personal attack, that is what I feel about it. A proposal was made in which I was requested not to overwrite files, which I was willing to accept, but at that moment I found out that Fae was doing just that, overwriting files. That annoyed me, and I decided to leave commons behind for a while. What made things get out of hand was, I assume, a deletion nomination of one of Fae's files, an infrared image of one of the Bosch paintings.

As I see it, Fae started to provoke me, first with an overwrite of File:Frans Hals, Portrait of René Descartes.jpg with an image that does not at all resemble the image in the museum. If Fae would have followed the proposal the image should have been reverted to the first version, but Fae didn't. Then Fae overwrote File:Susan Oliver (1971).jpg. According to Fae's own proposal the overwrite was misplaced, and then, things got out of hand and the edit war started.

In the AN/U discussion Fae claims that overwriting files is not proper, but Fae does do exactly that. Fae claims I fake EXIF data. The EXIF segment is not a token of originality, as Fae apparently thinks, but a documentation/description of that file. If an image has EXIF data I complete it, if an image doesn't have EXIF data I add it with as complete as possible data. There is nothing faked about that. Fae claims my upload of File:Susan Oliver (1971).jpg does not have a date and a source. That is not true, as anyone can see. It is/was in the file description and in the EXIF data.

Fae used this edit war to block me. However, this edit war is not about the AN/U discussion. I feel this is a personal attack. And I am sorry to say, you fell for it.

I am not happy that you reverted the Susan Oliver image to a state I did not upload, and I am not happy that you reverted the René Descartes image to a state that really does not represent the painting. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 20:12, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

With regard to File:Susan Oliver (1971).jpg, I created File:Susan Oliver.jpg after Jan reverted to his smoothed version so that we would avoid any further edit-warring reverts. My expectation was that File:Susan Oliver (1971).jpg would be left as Jan's preferred version, and the new file would be considered the cropped archive photo accurate version. Sources would need to reflect that fact. In this sense, reverting the file is not needed as we now have duplicates, so it is better to either roll back to Jan's smoothed version or simply delete it as a misleading image that damages the intended portrait made by photographer. --Fæ (talk) 23:32, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey Stein. I'm hoping you can help me with this. I've consolidated my cleanup categories, but I'm having trouble with one of them. I'm trying to move the files in Category:Files uploaded by INeverCry (Nevada) to Category:Files uploaded by INeverCry (cleanup). I've tried cat-a-lot and custom replace in VisualFileChange, but cat-a-lot keeps giving me the error message that "the old category can't be found", and VFC was only able to custom replace about 35 out of the 800+ files (it just skipped over the rest). Any idea how to move the files in Category:Files uploaded by INeverCry (Nevada) to Category:Files uploaded by INeverCry (cleanup) using a different method? Anything you could do would be appreciated. It's no big deal though; I can work from Category:Files uploaded by INeverCry (Nevada) if I have to. INeverCry 02:26, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I will take a look in the evening (MEZ). --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:13, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Commons:Database reports/Video and audio uploads

Hi! Könnte man für den vom SteinsplitterBot generierten Report Commons:Database reports/Video and audio uploads anstatt <gallery> den code <gallery showfilename={anything}> verpassen? Weil dann die Dateien mit einem Klick sofort aufrufbar zum Check wären. So, wie es aktuell ist, muss man (insbesondere bei audio files) erst die Benutzerseite aufrufen, dann zu den Beiträgen und die Datei per Datum suchen. Bei Videos springt zunächst der Player an, danach geht's erst über das Menü zum Link. Im Beispiel (die ersten drei Dateien aus dem heutigen Report):

Aktuell
Mit "showfilename={anything}"

Ich kann bloß nicht beurteilen, ob ggf. der CommonDelinker und andere Bots (Dateinamen-Änderungen) sich daran stören. Was meinst Du? Gunnex (talk) 12:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Steinsplitter,

kannst du bitte für mich von diesem Bild die zweite Dateiversion löschen: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LKW_mit_neuen_Antriebss%C3%A4tzen_Projekt_Erste_neue_Schwebebahn_2.jpg

Die zweite Dateiversion ist nahezu identisch mit der dritten Dateiversion. Bei der zweiten Dateiversion habe ich vergessen, die Exif-Daten zu editieren.

Timestamping by SteinsplitterBot

Hi,

Please can you change SteinsplitterBot to use 24hr instead of 12hr timestamps, like it did here.

The change would be {{#timel:h:i, d F Y (e)}} to {{#timel:H:i, d F Y (e)}}, which produces 23:04 not 11:04.

Unblock

Good night Steinsplitter, this is just to inform you that I lifted the block in this IP range because it was affecting Fmanuel090, a good faith user from Angola. I hope I've done it right, this was the first time I've done that kind of thing. Cheers, -- Darwin Ahoy! 20:47, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

@DarwIn: It was a CheckUser block by @Magog the Ogre: , so you should notify him at first place. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:39, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Can we somehow get rid of this and that? -- Rillke(q?) 20:54, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
@DarwIn: See Rillkes comment and please consider a soft block for the aforementioned range. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:42, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm afraid I'm not used to that range block system well enough to do what you are asking me to. Can you please do it, in a way that allows Fmanuel090 to be safe from that block? I'm orienting that user here in Commons, he his an amateur photographer and brother of a professional photographer, I believe he is of immense value here to Commons. I contacted you because it was your name which appeared on the block, and prior to doing that I asked advice with two stewards. Can you please rectify it on my behalf?-- Darwin Ahoy! 15:12, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
I re-blocked the range (anonymous users only). This schould solve the problem. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:18, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! Sorry for the trouble.-- Darwin Ahoy! 20:08, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
@DarwIn, Steinsplitter: hey I hate to be a buzzkill, but this range was and still is quite problematic, so I think we should reinstate the original block. I have provided IP block exempt to the users in question regardless. You can see User:Teles/Angola Facebook Case, although even this touches only a fraction of the problem. Unfortunately, the "account creation blocked" option doesn't seem to be working effectively with unified login.
I would love to come up with a good block message with instructions in languages (especially Portuguese!) on how users can request an account with IP block exemption.
FWIW, I realize that blocking a large portion of an entire country sounds ludicrous but the problem really is that bad. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
@Magog the Ogre: Do what you think is best for Commons. I'm following the arrival of Angola newbies in the Portuguese Wikipedia, and I'll contact you if a similar case arrives again. Meanwhile, I'll include a warning about this situation in a documentation page we are building to inform those newbies about the project.-- Darwin Ahoy! 16:19, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
@Magog the Ogre, DarwIn, and Rillke: A hardblock on the range may be necessary if the range is largely used for vandalism or any other improper editing. If so, we should be prepared to grant ipblock-exempt flag to many users, which IMO is the best solution here. We should provide a mail address to be added to block summary, otherwise users may just give up editing. I have already received two mails about this block and I don't know how they reached me. Is there any unblock mail we use on Commons to reply to block appeals?—Teles «Talk to me ˱C L @ S˲» 15:35, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
@Teles: Globally locking the range might be a solution as well. --Steinsplitter (talk) 08:26, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
We usually go easy with global range blocks, by first blocking locally and then global if it is still a problem in many wikis.—Teles «Talk to me ˱C L @ S˲» 18:56, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Hallo und Guten Abend Steinsplitter, ich hatte vor einer kurzen weile PDFs und Bilder für einen meiner erscheinenden Artikel hochgeladen.

I was stressed with my real life problems and my recent RFA on wikidata was not successful. So that i think to be retired but now I'm ok and want to back to my works. Here on commons, I've done too many copyvios and other activities. I've also done most of RFDs here. I finally realized all my mistakes and want to help here on commons as well in RFDs area with possible sysop tools. I want ur support for my RFA here.

Extension:Translate

Hi!

I'm trying the Extension:Translate on a subpage to my user page, but i can't get it to work. Does a translator admin have to enable translation on a page for it to work? -abbedabbtalk 18:33, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

@Abbedabb: Hi, best is to move it to the Template: namespace. When the template is ready, it can be marked for translation. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
I don't know if it is ready, since I cannot test it. -abbedabbtalk 19:53, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
I noticed that it is a user template, i am not sure if we tag user templates. Maybe using traditional translation technology, so no translation admin is needed. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 20:00, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
The template will be used on about 2000 file pages, and I want to have the template translated into as many languages as possible. The current template (with the old translation method) is translated to eleven languages, but it is a complicated process. It is currently used on 1940 pages. I intend to use the template on another 1000 photos that I will take during this years competition. -abbedabbtalk 20:03, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
OK --Steinsplitter (talk) 20:10, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Another question: The function is really great (i recently discovered it) but if I want the same $parameter twice in the text, how do I code that? I tried the year <tvar|year>{{{1}}}</tvar> is the year <tvar|year/>, but that didn't work. Should I type <tvar|year>{{{1}}}</tvar> twice? It feels like that will cause problems. -abbedabbtalk 20:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

As far i know, using it two times is not possible. --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:45, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

File:Brussels suspects CCTV.jpg

Hi. Mich würde mal interessieren, auf welche Rechtslage Du Dich beziehst. Kein Leistungsschutzrecht für Überwachungskameras? Zumindest in Deutschland wird dem Betreiber der Kamera ein solches Recht sicher zukommen und ich vermute, dass das auch für den Rest der EU gilt. Yellowcard (talk) 18:09, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

@Yellowcard: Leistungsschutz ändert nichts am Urheberrecht an sich, siehe Commons:Non-copyright restrictions. Also ist die Verwendung von {{No permission since}} nicht OK. Siehe {{PD-recording device}}. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:31, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
(BK) Hä? Leistungsschutz ist ein Teil des Urheberrechtsgesetzes, in Deutschland beispielsweise § 72 UrhG. Da passt die verlinkte Richtlinie, die sich auf Dinge wie Markenrechte o.ä. bezieht, nicht. Europäisches Leistungsschutzrecht entspricht ja sogar eher dem amerikanischen Copyright als das europäische Urheberrecht. Übrigens dürfte dieses Foto auch nach US-amerikanischen Copyright geschützt sein. Yellowcard (talk) 18:39, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Nach BK: Mhm, interessant. Das ist aber nichts weiter als eine sehr eigentümliche Auslegung. Zum Beispiel entstehen in Fotoboxen ja auch Leistungsschutzrechte. Yellowcard (talk) 18:39, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
@Yellowcard: Wenn du glaubst das die Datei geschützt ist dann bitte einen LA stellen. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:49, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Ich habe die Datei markiert, Du hast die Markierung entfernt. Jetzt liegt die Bringschuld wohl kaum bei mir. Aber weißt Du was, lassen wir es einfach so. Passt jedenfalls gut in die Entwicklung auf Commons, auch zur Interpretation der Norm zu Anonymen Werken beispielsweise. Zwar entgegen der Meinung aller Juristen und Rechtswissenschaftler, aber was ist schon die Realität? Yellowcard (talk) 19:07, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Du hättest mir wenigstens sagen können, dass das Template, auf das Du verwiesen hast, nicht einmal eine Stunde zuvor und ohne jegliche vorherige Diskussion erstellt worden ist. Das ist also niemals von irgendwem geprüft worden, auch nicht von der Commons-Community; vielmehr hat hier jemand seine ganz persönliche Überlegung angestellt und daraufhin sein Lizenztemplate erstellt. So funktionieren hier also Entscheidungsfindungen. Dass man diese Überlegung ("hat ja keiner auf den Knopf gedrückt") auch auf alle anderen Arten von Lichtbildern und Lichtbildwerken übertragen kann und sie somit definitiv ad absurdum führt, wurde also nichtmal irgendwo kritisch hinterfragt. Lustigerweise erwähnt übrigens de:Lichtbild ausdrücklich "Bilder aus Überwachungskameras", und das seit 2012. Was ein grandioser Vorgang, über den Du schützend Deine Hand hälst ... Ich habe jetzt auf WP:URF einen entsprechenden Abschnitt erstellt, falls Du an einer inhaltlichen Diskussion interessiert sein solltest. Yellowcard (talk) 12:45, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
@Yellowcard: Dateien sollte nur in klaren Fällen mit der "no permission" Vorlage versehen werden, sonst immer LA. Der Benutzer welcher die Datei hochgeladen hat ist nicht unerfahren. Dass die Vorlage erst kürzlich erstellt wurde war mir nicht bekannt. Das commons äquivalent zu WP:URF ist COM:VP/C. Ein entsprechender Abschnitt ist unter Commons:Village pump/Copyright#Is CCTV really public domain? zu finden. lg --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:25, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

POTY and the Wikimedia Blog

Hi Steinsplitter,

The Wikimedia Blog will be covering the end of the contest, hopefully with an interview with the winning photographer.

However, to accompany that with a social media push, we need explicit permission from the photographers to post their material on Facebook and Twitter—to make a long story short, their terms of use do not mesh with CC BY-SA.

Can you put this question, or something similar to it, into your standard email template for at least the winners (if not the top 30) to go into round 2? "Will you allow your image to be posted on the official social media accounts for Wikimedia sites, including Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons?"

Thank you so much!

(Pinging POTY committee members Miya, Odisha1, Uğurkent, Rillke, and Beria as well) Ed Erhart (WMF) (talk) 02:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

@Ed Erhart (WMF): Hi, When the winner is known after the POTY 2015 second run has finished we will ask the photographer to grant the necessary permission. Regards --Steinsplitter (talk) 07:41, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Stein, in previous years, the blog also included other winner images, not just #1. I guess they'd like to do it this way again. @Ed Erhart (WMF): Can you confirm? And how quickly after POTY's end you'd like to have permission by the photographers onto your table? The issue is: If we contact a lot of people directly after having the R1 result and then, they do not see their photos or other media works in your blog after R2 because it was only #30 or similar, they might be sad. On the other hand, it would be nice to have the blog post promptly after R2... -- Rillke(q?) 11:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
As far i can see for the blog is no special permission needed, just for facebook. --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:45, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi Rillke and Steinsplitter, thanks for the quick replies. Stein is right that I only need explicit permission for Facebook/Twitter. While I expect we'd post the winners on the blog and social accounts as soon as possible, we'd like to get as many permissions as possible because we can eventually post them all—hence my idea for asking all of the uploaders that get through round one. What are your thoughts? Ed Erhart (WMF) (talk) 20:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

User talk:Alessandro Sil

Hi, at Wikimedia Commons there is no obligation to archive a user talk page, see Commons:Talk_page_guidelines#User_talk_pages. Jcb (talk) 14:24, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

@Jcb: Exactly, I know that. The text contained (...)without adressing the issues you received these(...). I excepted a reply from the user regarding the block and the copyvios. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
(I suppose you mean 'expected' rather than 'excepted') The user has replied to the copyvios, but in Portuguese (see e.g. my user talk page). The main problem with this user seems to be his lack of understanding of English. He asked for help again today at my user talk page and I have directed him to the Portuguese welcome template, so I hope this will help him finding his way at Commons. Jcb (talk) 15:10, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Yes. Thanks. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:12, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

File:Big Buck Bunny 4K.webm

Hi Steinsplitter, File:Big Buck Bunny 4K.webm wurde gestern gelöscht (log), vermutlich zu Unrecht im Wirrwarr des "Bangladesh Facebook Case" (das Video wurde kürzlich in diversen betreffenden Facebook Gruppen ge-shared, z.B. hier) — ist aber per File:Big Buck Bunny alt.webm oder File:Big Buck Bunny medium.ogv oder {{Big Buck Bunny}} in CC. Siehe auch Category:Big Buck Bunny. File:Big Buck Bunny 4K.webm ist dabei die "große" Variante, während die anderen vorgenannten Dateien kleinere, downsampled bzw. modifizierte Versionen sind. Könntest Du das kurz überprüfen und die Datei wieder herstellen? Es sei denn, es lag irgendein anderer Grund für die Löschung vor.

OTRS: Genehimgung vorhanden, aber Urheber nicht im Internet

Hallo,

ich hoffe, Du kannst mir beim Helfen helfen: Eine Deutsche Benutzerin hat die Genehmigung der Fotografin für eine Fotografie vorliegen, aber die Fotografin hat offenbar keine Mail-Adresse. Sie hat mich nun nach dem korrekten Vorgehen gefragt. Ich dachte, der Fall kann nicht so selten sein und die Vorgehensweise muss dokumentiert sein, aber auf die Schnelle wurde ich doch nicht fündig. Kannst Du mir auf die Schnelle den einschlägigen Link geben? Dann weiss ich schon weiter. --° (Gradzeichen) 15:04, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Hallo, Die Genehmigung ausdrucken und von jemand anderen dann den Scan per Mail an OTRS senden. Notfall könnte man auch die Freigabe per Post oder Fax senden, dafür müsste ich aber bei der Foundation anfragen. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:09, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Bangladesh Facebook Case (abuse filter)

Hi Steinsplitter! Danke für die Arbeit an den beiden Filtern (upload + edit). Wie zu erwarten war, lässt schon der jetzt vorhandene log den Schluss zu, dass über Wikipedia Zero zu 98 % nur Müll hochgeladen wird (copyvios/PS/etc.). In dem ganzen log vom Start bis 16:22 Uhr habe ich im Prinzip nur 1-3 Dateien gefunden, die (wie auch immer) "edukativ" brauchbar und auch höchstwahrscheinlich eigenes Werk (bzw. sonstwie im CC) sind. Der Filter schlägt übrigens auch dann an, wenn keine Datei hochgeladen wurde (vermutlich wegen anderer Filter hinsichtlich des Dateinamens). Und das ist auch gut so: wie Du im Verlauf des logs siehst, tauchen dort auch viele rote Links mit Dateinamen in Zahlenketten auf: das sind größtenteils typische Facebook-urls und vermutlich alle copy&paste von dort. Z.B. AbuseLog/1235941 --> File:12238397 837532279691165 5311859693718564573 o.jpg (upload verhindert) --> (Sekunden später) --> File:ALs maths Central College.jpg (upload ok). Und woher geklaut? Von https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=837532279691165. Das klappt nicht immer, aber immer öfter :-).
Hinweis I: im log gibt es manchmal teils mehrstündige Pausen, so z.B. zwischen:

  • 14:05, 7. Apr. 2016 — 15:14, 7. Apr. 2016 (1 Stunde keine Aktivität)
  • 07:58, 7. Apr. 2016 — 09:47, 7. Apr. 2016 (fast 2 Stunden keine Aktivität)
  • 02:04, 7. Apr. 2016 — 05:02, 7. Apr. 2016 (fast 3 Stunden keine Aktivität)
  • 22:19, 6. Apr. 2016 — 00:07, 7. Apr. 2016 (fast 2 Stunden keine Aktivität)

Verschluckt sich der Filter da ein bisschen oder wie könnte man das erklären? Weil davor und danach größtenteils die uploads nahezu im Minutentakt weiter laufen...

Hinweis II: auch heute wurden wieder im Rahmen des "Bangladesh Facebook Case" zahlreiche geklaute Videos hochgeladen, die dann sofort auf Facebook zum Teilen angeboten worden sind. Z.B. durch Masuma.akter (talk · contributions · Move log · block log · uploads · Abuse filter log)  (bereits gesperrt und alles gelöscht). Im ganzen log taucht jedoch (bisher) kein einziges Video auf (webm, ogv, etc.). Offensichtlich benutzen diese Benutzer bezahlte Mobilzugänge (flats) mit besseren Bandbreiten (ich habe schon komplette Filme mit +1 GB zum Löschen markiert), um diese Videos mit teils hunderten von megabytes hochzuladen... Gunnex (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

@Gunnex: Hi, Der Filter schlägt bei action=upload an, egal ob was hochgeladen wird oder nicht und der Filter ist noch nicht auf "verhindern" gesetzt, das bedeutet das Uploads nur geloggt werden. Es kann gut sein das auch teilweise bezahltes Intenet verwendet wird zum hochladen von Dateien. Getaggt sollte nämlich alles werden was über die X-Carrier für wp-zero läuft. Zudem könnte es auch an phab:T132048 liegen, was ich aufgrund der Abstände eher nicht glaube. Muss man mal genauer beobachten. Last but not leas: Bitte denk nochmal drüber nach ob du Admin werden willst, das wäre sicherlich eine große Hilfe für uns wenn du auch Knöpfe hättest. Ich würde dich Nominieren. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:51, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Danke für das feedback [und Halbzeitpause Dortmund-Liverpool :-)]. Das mit dem "verhindern" wird wohlmöglich erst dann eine Option, wenn wir genug Daten haben. Aber das wird sicherlich breiter zu diskutieren sein. Ich hab's mir nur im Vorfeld genauso vorgestellt: Wikipedia als Facebook-Ersatz und kostenloser Image-hoster. Insoweit bleibt da erstmal nur abzuwarten und vorallem: löschen-löschen-löschen. Im übrigen erreichen auch die cross-wiki-uploads (über den Visual Editor) ähnliche "bad ratios", zumindest für die ptwiki (kleiner Test hier, setze ich aktuell über quarry fort, Auswertung kommt irgendwann...) — und aufgrund des ähnlichen kulturellen backgrounds sieht's vermutlich für die cross-wiki-uploads aus der eswiki ähnlich schlecht aus.
Ich wollte mich im Prinzip nur vergewissern, ob der Filter auch in Deinem Sinne ordnungsgemäß läuft, ein "Danke schön" loswerden und ein paar technische Details bzw. Auffälligkeiten klären. In Sachen admin (danke): mir reichen (auch vom zeitlichen Engagement gesehen) die Knöpfe, über die ich aktuell verfüge :-). Gunnex (talk) 20:41, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
@Gunnex: Dein zeitliches Engangemnt ist völlig ausreichend. Du könntest dann selbst löschen und sperren und würdest den anderen Admins Zeit sparen. Aber ist ist natührlich deine Entscheidung. lg --Steinsplitter (talk) 07:04, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

...and you did that while picture is geting graded for finalist of year ? --Mile (talk) 09:28, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

You have to ask this user. --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:33, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello Mile, it is not actually Steinsplitter's edit, it was just a rotate request by another user that was fulfilled by his bot. Steinsplitter, I recommend you to put a small disclaimer on your bot's user page with regards to its rotating job. This will prevent users complaining on your talk page. And I think all FPs since 2015 should be protected from uploading during POTY 2015, especially the finalists. Thanks, ★ Poké95 12:37, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
Poke, incase you didn't notice, this is Steinsplitter's talk page. He had already responded to the query in question and further explanation on your part is not needed. What good is a disclaimer on the bot's user page when the user in question cannot even check the file history? Mile, I'd expect a common's user with eight years experience to be able to remain civil and not jump to conclusions as you have done with your header and the attitude shown in your query. Always assume good faith. Riley Huntley (talk) 04:41, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
This shows another example to the simple fact, in most cases, insults are only mirrors. :P ↔ User: Perhelion 05:07, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
  •  Comment This is not the first time rotate bot is used by vandals. It can be programmed to neglect such single purpose accounts. I can understand Mile's concerns as POTY is running now. The bot operator should have some minimum responsibility; I think. :) Jee 04:51, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
  • How about if all rotate requests will be reviewed first by another user, before SteinsplitterBot rotates the files? Although we will have a new backlog now, that's better, than having SteinsplitterBot used by rotate vandals. What do you think about this, Steinsplitter? ★ Poké95 05:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Creating another backlog should be a last resort. It'd be more useful to limit this task to autoconfirmed/confirmed users (who can overwrite files anyways), although I do know the pains of being a bot operator and I'd hate to have to code this check. :P Riley Huntley (talk) 06:35, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

request decision reversal

@IngridC-Curtin: @Jameslwoodward: Can you please reverse your deletion of these recordings Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by IngridC-Curtin as the nominator reasoning is incorrect per http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ca1968133/s97.html Australian Copyright act section 97.2 Subject to subsection (3), the maker of a sound recording is the owner of any copyright subsisting in the recording by virtue of this Part. Thanks Gnangarra 01:05, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

I suggest you read Sections 39 and 113B. While it is true that the owner of the copyright in the recording itself is the maker of the recording, it is equally true that composer, lyricist, arranger, and performers all have rights. Even if the uploader actually made the recording -- which is completely unproven -- there is no evidence that the recordings do not infringe on the rights of those I named above. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:06, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Ein nicht-menschliches Tier

Hallo Steinsplitter. Da du diese Vorlage [3] geschützt hast, eine kurze Frage an dich. Könnte man das nicht ändern in: "Dieses Bild ist gemeinfrei („public domain“), weil der Urheber des Werkes kein Mensch ist. An der Arbeit eines Tieres können keine Urheberrechte beansprucht werden." Die Aussage des nicht-menschlichen Tieres ist zwar biologisch korrekt, da der Mensch ja biologisch gesehen auch ein Tier ist, aber in juristischem bzw. lizenzrechtlichem Sinne wirkt diese Abgrenzung hier ein wenig lächerlich.

Trust you are good. We are currently working on the above mentioned project.

We made use of two Photographers. We are in the process of uploading the images we have gathered. We would appreciate your advice on the following questions:

1. Who can upload the images (We plan to use the communities members but the images were captured by the Photographers)?. 2. Which license would be most suitable? ( We aim to License the images under 4.0 Share alike) .

Dear @Steinsplitter: ,thank you for your reply, however we want clarification if other members of the community can join in uploading the images captured by the two photographers without violation of copyright.

Restoration question: Special:Diff/194249407/194249700

@Gadget: A revocation is not supported anymore, since the last update (revert should be sufficient too).
@Ticket: The photographer has confirmed again and he seems a pro too (he made money with this), so he should definitely know what he does confirm, what a right he has (from the sculptor artist).
So I would accept the ticket. Greetings ↔ User: Perhelion 05:34, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Commons:Village pump and {{Section resolved}}

Hello, I am confused why you reverted my edits on the village pump. There is a text in the village pump saying: "Recent sections with no replies for 7 days and sections tagged with {{section resolved|1=~~~~}} may be archived; for old discussions, see the archives.", which means sections tagged with {{Section resolved}} can be archived. Can you explain why {{Section resolved}} should not be used on the village pump? Thanks, ★ Poké95 09:55, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

I looked at the code of the village pump, and I saw {{Autoarchive resolved section}}, which confirms that sections tagged with {{Section resolved}} can be archived. And I don't see how it disturbs MiszaBot (or ArchiveBot). Thanks, ★ Poké95 09:59, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Ich wäre Dir sehr verbunden,

wenn Du nicht mit sinnlosen Namensänderungen in mein System der Namensgebung für meine File eingreifst. Der Name File:Taipei Taiwan Police-bus-01.jpg sagt genau aus, was es ist. Ein Polizeibus. Man braucht das nicht in ein kryptisches File:Taipei City Police Department BA-882 20140518.jpg zu ändern. Die Wahrheit liegt in der Beschreibung des Files, nicht im Namen. Die zitierte Regel soll nur verhindern, dass völlig unsinnige und falsche Filenamen verwendet werden. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 15:22, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth 2016

Hallo Steinsplitter,

Du erhältst diese Nachricht als Teilnehmer von Wiki Loves Earth 2014 oder 2015. Dieses Jahr wird sich Deutschland wieder am Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth beteiligen. Wir würden uns über weitere Bilder von Dir freuen. Der Zeitraum für das Hochladen der Naturbilder ist vom 1. bis 31. Mai 2016.

Für die Weitergabe an den internationalen Wettbewerb ist ab diesem Jahr eine Mindestauflösung von 2 Megapixeln erforderlich. Bitte gib an, in welchem Schutzgebiet oder an welchem Schutzobjekt (z.B. Naturdenkmal, Geotop) die Fotos gemacht wurden. Wenn Bilder gar nicht zugeordnet werden können, gelangen sie nicht in die Wertung. In die Bilder eingefügte Zusätze wie der Name des Fotografen, Datum, Beschreibung oder ein Rahmen sind unerwünscht.

Seit der letzten Runde sind unter anderem Listen aller FFH-Gebiete und EU-Vogelschutzgebiete in Deutschland erstellt worden, die nun ebenfalls auf Bilder warten.

Dieses Jahr wird eine Vorjury die Vorauswahl der Bilder nach den Wettbewerbsregeln übernehmen. Als Teilnehmer aus den Vorjahren kannst Du Dich daran beteiligen. Bei Interesse bitte unter WLE-Vorjury eintragen, ein Zugangscode kommt per E-Mail.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg wünscht im Namen des Organisationsteams,

Weiterleitungsproblem

Am 4. Februar 2014 legte ich die Kategorie "Cenderawasih" an (siehe https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Cenderawasih&oldid=115589393). Wie ich heute erst bemerkt habe, legte am 21. März 2014 ein User eine Weiterleitung von Cenderawasih auf eine Vogel-Gallery an, wodurch die Suche nach der Stadt in Sabah wirkungslos bleibt (siehe https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cenderawasih&oldid=119716254). Diese Vogelweiterleitung ist jedoch irreführend, da es lediglich in der Indonesischen Sprache eine Vogelart gibt, die lokal "Burung-burung cenderawasih" heisst. Die einzige richtige Weiterleitung, wenn man schon Sprachweiterleitungen anlegen will, wäre von "Burung-burung cenderawasih" auf die "Paradisaeidae"-Gallery, nicht aber von "Cenderawasih" auf die Paradiesvögel.

Diese Weiterleitung müsste also gelöscht werden. Ich bin selbst etwas verwundert, wie es möglich ist eine Weiterleitung über eine Kategorie anzulegen. Kannst Du Dich bitte des Problems annehmen? Danke! --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 16:57, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Merkwürdigkeiten bei Unterseiten mit Übersetzungen

’Tschulljung, dass ich dich direkt anspreche, aber Du scheinst mir bei dem Thema Ahnung zu haben oder wenigstens die richtigen Ansprechpartner zu kennen. Im Forum weiß ich immer nicht, ob es eine Reaktion von einem Admin gibt, obwohl Du einer der wenigen bist, die dort überhaupt reagieren.

Wie Du sicherlich mitbekommen hattest, hatte ich nach der Übersetzung für das Verschiebeformular gesucht (vergleiche im Archiv Commons:Forum/Archiv/2016/June#Übersetzung oder Textkorrektur des Formulars zur Dateienumbenennung). Nach einiger Suche bin ich dann doch allein drauf gekommen (letzter Beitrag im Thread – ja, das hätte mir auch früher einfallen können – und wenn Du ausnahmsweise ganz groooße Langeweile hast, kannst Du die Übersetzung ja mal kontrollieren), aber bei der Suche danach ist mir folgende Merkwürdigkeit aufgefallen: Ich startete mit der Suche nach den ersten drei englischen Sätzen. Während ich für den ersten 1 Ergebnis bekam (und so merkte, dass die Übersetzung total zerstückelt ist: Translations:Template:File renaming reasons/i18n/44/en), war das Ergebnis für die zwei anderen für mich verwirrend: Für Satz 2 erhielt ich auch 2 Funde: Translations:Template:File renaming reasons/i18n/3/en und Translations:Template:File renaming reasons/i18n/45/en; für Satz 3 dann sogar 3 Funde: Translations:Template:File renaming reasons/i18n/1/en, Translations:Commons:File renaming/4/en und Translations:Template:File renaming reasons/i18n/46/en. Wie kommt denn sowas zustande und sollten die inaktiven Versionen nicht wenigstens auf die aktuelle Version weiterleiten, damit bei einer Suche nur diese gefunden wird? Ich habe übrigens dann nicht weiter gesucht, ob es bei den anderen Teilen ebenso mehrere Versionen gibt.
Noch eine andere, zum Thema passende Frage: Wie kann ich für MediaWiki:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js/DeleteInfo eine Übersetzung erzeugen? — Speravir_Talk – 23:33, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Hallo @Speravir: , Das ist alles von Rillke erstellt worden, da blicke ich kaum durch. Bei AJAX delete müsste man schauen ob bei MediaWiki:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js/de.js was übersetztes fehlt, bei MediaWiki:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js/DeleteInfo kann man die Übersetzung als |de= hinzufügen (seite ist geschützt, also auf der Disk vorschlagen und {{Editprotected}} setzen oder mich fragen). lg --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:38, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
„Das ist alles von Rillke erstellt worden“ Ach, das auch!? In Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js/de.js sollte jetzt nichts mehr fehlen, dass hatten wir im oben von mir verlinkten Thread besprochen (JuTa hat aber offensichtlich noch einen Fehler gefunden, wenn ich mir die Versionsistorie so ansehe).
Zur Deleteinfo: OK, ich mach erstmal einen Vorschlag auf der Disk. Dass es dort per LangSwitch gelöst ist, war mir entgangen; ich dachte, das geht ebenfalls über diese Translate-Erweiterung. Nebenbei: Kannst du eventuell ohne Edit-Request im englischen Text aus "proceed" ein “proceed” machen, also die im Englischen üblichen typographischen Anführungszeichen einfügen oder wär es dir lieber, wenn ich das auch auf der Disk anfrage? (Ergänzung noch vor Abspeichern: In der kroatischen Version müsste es entsprechend Wikipediaartikel de:Anführungszeichen als „nastavi” geschrieben werden, das ist leicht anders als im Deutschen.) — Speravir_Talk – 00:39, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
bei " bin ich mir nicht sicher, glaube habe das auf commons bisher immer so gesehen, in deutsch kann man die deutschen standards verwenden. --Steinsplitter (talk) 08:57, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Ich hab das jetzt mal so gelöst, dass ich das als eigenen Abschnitt auf der Disk als Vorschlag eingetragen habe. Als weiteren Abschnitt habe ich dann meinen deutschen Übersetzungsvorschlag eingefügt. So kann ein Admin entscheiden, ob er nur einen Teil bearbeitet. Hier dann erledigt, oder? — Speravir_Talk – 18:30, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Bearbeitung von MediaWiki:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js/de.js

Hallo, Steinsplitter, da ich denke, dass du den technischen Hintergrund verstehst: Willst Du die gewünschte Bearbeitung übernehmen? Siehe MediaWiki talk:Gadget-AjaxQuickDelete.js/de.js#UpdateEdit request+. Ich hatte JuTa angepingt, und er(?) war zwar unterdessen aktiv, hat aber nicht darauf reagiert. Vielleicht versteht er nicht, was zu tun ist. Wenn Du es übernimmst, musst Du, glaub ich, auch die Änderungen von JuTa wieder rausnehmen. — Speravir_Talk – 16:00, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Nee alles Ok jetzt, danke auch. Ja es nicht ganz nachvollziehbar warum man überhaupt auf diesen Seiten ein nowiki braucht, aber leider – aus welchen Grund auch immer – interpretiert Mediawiki Wikisyntax auf allen Seiten (ich hatte auch übersehen dass JuTa die Entity-Klammern schon durch richtige ersetzt hatte, die Tags aber wie gesagt an dieser Position in einem JavaScript-Fenster trotzdem als Text zur Darstellung kommen würden). ↔ User: Perhelion 18:38, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Auftrag für Deinen Bot

Hallo, wäre der Steinsplitterbot dafür der richtige oder weißt Du alternativ, welchen Bot man da fragen kann? In allen sprachspezifischen Unterseiten von {{User talk}} (Special:Prefix/Template:User_talk) müsste an einer Stelle aus http ein https gemacht werden:
[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}} http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/{{FULLPAGENAMEE}}]

Hallo Steinsplitter (und auch mal ein ping an Gnom); ich möchte gerne ein paar Kommentare zu dem Generator abgeben, bin mir jetzt gerade aber etwas unschlüssig, wo ich das tun soll. Durch die Internationalisierung haben wir da ja nun Commons talk:License attribution generator und Commons talk:License attribution generator/de, mit weiteren Sprachen werden weitere Diskussionsseiten dazukommen... Ich könnte die deutsche Disku nutzen und deutsch schreiben, da das Tool ja bislang auch nur deutsch ist, oder vielleicht doch die englische, so dass sich auch die breitere Commons-Community beteiligen kann... am besten wäre wohl eine zentrale Disku, in der man dann eben deutsch, englisch oder wie auch immer schreibt; was meinst du, wäre es eine sinnvolle Vorgehensweise, von Commons talk:License attribution generator/de einfach eine Weiterleitung auf Commons talk:License attribution generator zu setzen und bei weiteren Sprachen dann auch vorzugehen? Oder haben wir hier für solche Fälle eine andere etablierte Praxis? Gestumblindi (talk) 17:24, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Gestumblindi: , Gute Frage. Wenn man die Übersetzungs-Extension verwendet muss die Ausgangsseite (source page) in englisch sein, sonst müsste ich die Seite von der TA extension raus nehmen. lg --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:36, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Also, dann setze ich da nun einfach mal eine Weiterleitung von der deutschen auf die englische als "zentraler" Diskussionsseite und schreibe meinen Senf (jedoch erstmal deutsch) dort; wer eine andere Lösung präferiert, soll's dann meinetwegen ändern ;-) Gestumblindi (talk) 18:53, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

90 degree rotation has become a 180 degree rotation

I requested a 90 degree rotation for File:Bertolf-1461779240.jpg and File:Novastar-1461779426.jpg. The result of your bot was a 180 degree rotation. Now I've got the same problem as when I started that the images are landscape when they should be portrait. What happened here? Mbch331 (talk) 13:06, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

@Mbch331: That is because of the EXIF-Orientation which was set in images metadta. The bot isn't human and can't view how it looks correct, therefor the degree was assumed. You have to rotate it again. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:26, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. So the whole problem to start with was just the MediaWiki software ignoring the EXIF-Orientation. Thanks for the explanation. I'll request another rotation for both images. Mbch331 (talk) 13:31, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
I requested a 270 degree rotation for both images, the bot removed the templates with the comment "rotated", but didn't upload any new pictures. No rotation happend. Mbch331 (talk) 16:10, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

File renaming

Hello! I see you declined to rename the File:Anonimo, anello astronomico, 1650 ca. 01.JPG. Please can you explain me what is the problem about? I'm working with the Museo Galileo for reorganizing all the category, and we're proceding on this way. Thansk for your help. --Archeologo (Museo Galileo) (talk) 14:56, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Archeologo (Museo Galileo): Please see COM:RENAME: "Just because images share a category or a subject does not mean that they are part of a set. 1" --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:09, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer. This is not a set: we're working to verify every single item, renaming everyone according to the real informations. Maybe should I use another reason/criterion? --Archeologo (Museo Galileo) (talk) 15:22, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
To be honest, i don't see the need to change the name. --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Internal IDs and other archival measures of your museum belong to the file description page (if necessary you may create a template), not the filename. It is very kind of your institution to display those artworks, but there's obviously no entitlement to be mentioned in filenames on Common.    FDMS  4    15:57, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Ok, but the ID is the only way to distinguish between very similar files. In addition to this, a lot of pictures has wrong names or mistakes (for example, in Italian language the surname has always the capital letter). No problem when removing the entity name: we are using an OBJECT NAME + ID + NAME MUSEUM style. How should we proceed then? Only OBJECT NAME + ID? Thanks for tour help. --Archeologo (Museo Galileo) (talk) 16:15, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
No, their unique exact filename is how to distinguish between files – there's nothing wrong with different files named [object] from above.jpg and top view of [object].jpg; if their respective uploaders choose those filenames that choice should be respected. Minor issues such as capitalisation do not warrant a rename by themselves per COM:FR#Which files should not be renamed?; for more gravely wrong names, please use criterion 3 (To correct obvious errors in file names, including misspelled proper nouns, incorrect dates, and misidentified objects or organisms.). One thing you could is replace the default infobox ({{Information}}) on file description pages by the art-specific infobox ({{Artwork}}), which accepts more parameters such as current location and accession number.    FDMS  4    16:55, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

API change will break your script

Hi Steinsplitter,

I noticed that SteinsplitterBot has been using http:// to access the API, rather than https:// Access to http:// is going to be disabled in a few weeks. You can find more information in this e-mail message. If you need help updating your code to use https:// , then you might be able to find some help at w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard or on the mailing list. Good luck, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:33, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

@Whatamidoing (WMF): Where it is using http://? I am sure all my scripts are using secure connections (at least to login). --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:33, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
I don't know. All I really know is that your bot turned up in the list of users that made more than 1,000 insecure requests during the week ending on 13 May 2016. Given the numbers involved, it must include the work here on Commons. Can you login here to see the current list? https://logstash.wikimedia.org/#/dashboard/elasticsearch/api-feature-usage-http I think that your wikitech.wikimedia.org username/password works there (but I might be wrong). Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 17:35, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
@Whatamidoing (WMF): I can't access the page. I can just image that it is mwclient which is accessing the api for query - but i used the in-labs installation. Can you tell me the useragent? --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:41, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
I asked as sysadmin. Yes, wmclient. Will fix that (setting scheme='https' for protocol relative urls, a bit surprised that it isn't default). Thanks. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:50, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
Quick follow up: Your bot was still on the most recent list (from late last week). So as of – I'm estimating some timelags here and might be wrong – as of Wednesday morning UTC, it probably wasn't fixed yet. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 04:48, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
@Whatamidoing (WMF): No idea, everything is using secure connections. Can i have the logs? --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:26, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Let me see what I can get for you. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 16:06, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
It looks like the last insecure access was on May 24, which is consistent with when the tool-labs general fix was implemented. So I don't think you have anything further to worry about here. Thanks! BBlack (WMF) (talk) 19:42, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Hiya!!

Hi Steinsplitter: I know this link is to wikipedia, but could you take a look at the article which I found by looking at the photos? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Querweltein_Unterwegs Yes, we have OTRS for all the photos but the article seems a bit long and using every single book cover is a lot. What do you think? Just curious, but since I can't read the article, I thought I would ask someone who could. Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:10, 1 June 2016 (UTC) Cheers!

I am not sure if i understand your question correctly, but there is no policy at dewp which disallow such a use of photos. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:13, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Фотоконкурсът „Уики обича Земята“ 2016 те очаква! :)

File:Wozzy-3.jpg
Уози те поздравява и кани да участваш в „Уики обича Земята 2016“!

Здравей,

получаваш това писмо, тъй като миналата година си участвал(а) в изданията на „Уики обича Земята 2015“ или „Уики обича паметниците 2015“. Сега, до края на месец юни, те каним отново да участваш в тазгодишното фотосъстезание „Уики обича Земята 2016“. То се провежда при същия регламент, но в сравнение с миналата година – и с награден фонд!

Отново търсим твоите снимки от защитените природни обекти на България – национални и природни паркове, резервати и защитени местности и отново това могат да са както пейзажи, така и снимани в близък план животни и растения. Отново няма ограничения за броя снимки, с които можеш да участваш в конкурса и можеш да използваш същата регистрация в Общомедия като миналогодишната. Единственото условие на конкурса е да отдадеш снимките си под свободен лиценз и без водни знаци и други надписи с декларации за авторството върху тях.

А наградите? Те са за авторите на първите 10 класирани снимки, които продължават в международния кръг на „Уики обича Земята“ и ще представят страната ни. Авторите на първите 10 снимки ще получат награди ваучери от фото магазин или книжарница, а една от тези 10 снимки ще бъде издадена като официална пощенска марка на Р. България. И това ако не е вълнуващо? Междувременно, ако качиш над 25, 50 и 100 снимки, ще получиш съответно виртуална бронзова, сребърна и златна значка от талисмана на конкурса – кукумявката Уози ;)

Въобще тази година участието в „Уики обича Земята“ е много по-интересно и вълнуващо, и също толкова важно за разрастването и подобряването на свободно достъпното енциклопедично знание на български език! Затова не се колебай, а просто участвай! :)

Поздрави,

Екипът на „Уики обича Земята“! 08:17, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I see that you have removed the translation tags from Commons:What Commons is not at 2013-11-10 (without any explanation). Since that time there have been no major changes on this page.

Deletion Question

Hello! I was just hoping you could tell me why the material uploaded by Jodi_IBJ_BookPub was deleted? Thank you for your time. Jodi IBJ BookPub (talk) 17:42, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

As it has been explained in the deletion request, the files are lacking important information. Apart from that they must comply with the licensing policy. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:44, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

The reason they were originally uploaded is for an article which I am currently writing. The documents are not available online as many of them are old family letters and photographs that were scanned in. I was hoping to have them up to add credibility to my article which should be published soon. I have cited the sources in my article but I was hoping this would be a way for other people to read the information and come to their own conclusions. Jodi IBJ BookPub (talk) 17:48, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

If you are the copyright holder of the files (for example if you have inherited the rights) please send permission to COM:OTRS, otherwise: How old are the files in question? --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:50, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

The files are probably 30 or 40 years old. I have been hired to write an article for someone and these documents have been provided by her. She has given me permission to use these files. Jodi IBJ BookPub (talk) 17:52, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Then the files are still copyrighted, for enwiki please note paid contributions without disclosure section in the tos. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:06, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

I have noted that, thank you. I will make sure to get that up. This is the first article my company has written so we are still learning. As for the files, should I have to client upload them, or is there anyway for her to release her copyright so we can use them. Thanks! Jodi IBJ BookPub (talk) 18:10, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Attacked by two users

The user named Superbenjamin hurts my feelings by saying to me "What the f* do you think you're doing!?" This completely hurts my feelings because the way he said it, is rude as the comment contains "f**k". Another user named Mattho69 had said that I told SiBr14 b******. This also hurts my feelings because the comment contains "b******", the way he said it was rude. Please do something about these guys. P.S. Please don't let them know that I told about their attacks on me. 174.113.214.250 08:57, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about your feeling… But you deliberately lied to SiBr4 to get him or her to create flags you said you had seen during a trip to France. Then you put these flags in the encyclopedia pretending they are the actual flags of the regions…
Confronted to your lies, you kept on lying and proposed a YouTube video to explain… why the flags do not exist.
Your behaviour is higly problematic. --Superbenjamin (talk) 10:17, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
I hate to say it, but when I visit a old man's house in a hamlet in an undisclosed location in Auvergne-Rhode-Alpes during my trip. I didn't start the lie. An old man just showed and told me that these are the actual flags. He told me that to tell SiBr4 to make these flags and I did tell him or her. The old man also told me that I could submit them to their region councils which why I made this comment months later. I had to end my edits here on Wikipedia in response because you accuse me for starting a lie when it was old man to told me these flags. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!! 174.113.214.250 10:30, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
You know, if you can't handle those profane words, I recommend you leave Commons. Although Commons don't allow personal attacks, Commons is not censored. And those profane words said against you is hardly not a personal attack. As said by Superbenjamin, you must provide a source for those flags before putting them in Wikipedia. We don't care if you live in France, we just need an independent, reliable source. ★ Poké95 11:10, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Oh, an old man told you to do that… Well, fine: it's not a lie. It's drugs. --Superbenjamin (talk) 11:32, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Siegfried von Brilon

Hallo Steinsplitter, habe gesehen, dass Du die traurige Nachricht soeben auf der Benutzerseite hier auf Commons vermerkt hast. Könntest Du vielleicht das Bild von der Kondolenzliste in der de:WP auf der Benutzerseite von Siegfried von Brilon und die Kondolenzliste verlinken? Danke und Gruß --Asio 07:21, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Ok, lg. --Steinsplitter (talk) 07:31, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

File:Test.svg

What is the reason for the sporadic deletion of File:Test.svg? [4] In general I find it useful to refer to old test files that have been uploaded and I would suggest only deleting the file if something that really needs to be hidden is uploaded. Delphi234 (talk) 17:42, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Delphi234: The page will be cleaned up for a couple of year now. A sandbox is not a place to temporary host stuff, then it is also a question of copyright (different files, different licenses), and some people don't want that the test uploads are showing up at Special:ListFiles. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:47, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
If they don't just click "restore". I see a great many uploaders doing that when they are done. I would recommend a consistent clean up like once a month. More often is just a waste of time. Delphi234 (talk) 18:53, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Wie nun weiter?

Da du deswegen von Pokéfan95 angepingt wurdest … Eigentlich finde ich ja es unschön, dafür einen Admin direkt anzusprechen. Mir wäre es lieber, man würde das immer in Commons:Forum posten und würde garantiert mehr Reaktionen von den angeblich 47 deutschsprachigen Admins erhalten. Da bist du übrigens noch nichtmal mitgezählt (wegen de-4) und außerdem einer der wenigen, die im Forum gelegentlich aktiv sind. ’Tschulljung für den Rant.
Da sich in User talk:Botaurus-stellaris#Kategorieeintrag „Lakes of Brandenburg“ für Havelseen in Brandenburg kein Fortkommen abzeichnet und dort dann auch noch Oursana sich negativ geäußert hat, die sich in der Vergangenheit mehrfach von mir angegriffen fühlte – wie nun weiter? Soll ich im Forum nach weiteren Meinungen fragen? Hat beim letzten Mal nämlich eher suboptimal geklappt: Commons:Forum/Archiv/2016/April#Meiner Ansicht nach fehlerhafte Änderungen einer Bildbeschreibung, Ansprache und Reaktion. — Speravir_Talk – 20:31, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Müsste man wol an einer Projektseite nachfragen oder gucken ob es dazu ne Richtlinie gibt. Aben im Kunst-Bereich bin ich nicht so belesen. --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:30, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Das letztere war ja nur verlinkt, weil damals nahezu keine Reaktion erfolgte. Zum dem, worum es mir eigentlich geht: Das hier geht mir deutlich zu weit: Special:Diff/202675214/202756656. Soll ich das noch einmal in COM:ANU melden und muss ich das dort übersetzen? Ich will ja neben diesem Problem auch sichergehen, dass er die meiner Meinung nach notwendigen Reverts nicht seinerseits wieder rückgängig macht (deswegen der Titel im bestehenden Abschnitt in ANU). — Speravir_Talk – 17:54, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Auf englisch wäre sicher besser, weil das mehrere Leute verstehen um was es geht. --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:59, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Steinsplitter,

Kannst du mal als Admin einen Blick auf die Category:Museumsfest 2016 werfen? Ich bin immer unsicher, welche Fotos hier zulässig sind. Die fehlenden Beschreibungen werden nachgeliefert, es geht um die Kindertanzgruppe, die öffentlich aufgetreten ist. Unpassende Bilder bitte ohne Löschantrag usw. sofort löschen. Commons ist ja manchmal sehr seltsam. Gruss --Nightflyer (talk) 22:07, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

name change

some many months ago you helped in a very 'zap' way to change my user name. What is the chance/option/possibility of SatuSuro to JarrahTree - in all instances? not just the chosen specific fields that you did first time. I have been trying manually, and it is becoming a times waster. I do hope you are able to help me, as I work from a mac and unable to run AWB

JarrahTree (talk) 00:21, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

@JarrahTree: This change on all your uploads? --Steinsplitter (talk) 09:28, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Wow - if possible, it would be much appreciated as there are still 500 + - if it is not a problem for you, it would be much appreciated JarrahTree (talk) 12:08, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
if there were/are any odd ones (strange edits on my part)(I know some have file name change requirements, but the general thing would be really good), I can always go through and double check, but the possibility of bulk speedup change, would be brilliant...

I know I might be over-stepping the mark, but any chance of {{User:SatuSuro}} at all?

there should be less than 300 of them JarrahTree (talk) 12:38, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

I did it for the files, but signatures etc. shouldn't be changed. --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:51, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
OK I understand, I am trying to normalise all my files, I have found many titles I dont like (either meaningless or unhelpful), and even old categories linked with the satusuro name that I have decided to delete as well.

Wiki Loves the Olympics

Hello, I created the WLO campaign and templates, but I will need some support to review it and our templates. My idea is to set that campaign opened for all countries to send pictures of its delegations and competitors. Instead of the model created for WLE and WLM where each country create its own campaign and categories, the idea is to have it created by olympic games edition (summer and winter). Can you help me to check and improve our Campaign:wlo-rio2016. I will need help regarding the upload wizard links and best ways to set Ids and categories too. Best regards Rodrigo Padula (talk) 15:14, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, You want to have a default cat added to all files? What you mean with id? --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:01, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Yes, I will need to setup the best way to automatically categorize all files and as during WLE and WLM, each item must have an ID to identify all photos uploaded through that link, right? By example, we will have a list of arenas, so each arena must have a category and ID right? Same thing for sports and delegations? Rodrigo Padula (talk) 18:34, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Deletion requests/Files uploaded by WegC1

Hallo Steinsplitter,

Du hast hier für die Bilder vom Wegener Center einen Löschantrag gestellt. Berechtigterweise, da nicht bewiesen ist, dass unser Account (WegC1) tatsächlich zum Wegener Center gehört. Nun frage ich mich, wie wir das beweisen können? Bitte um kurze Info dazu.

Außerdem ist bei den Bildern eines von der ESA dabei, ich nehme an das müssen wir tatsächlich wieder löschen - oder gibt es eine Möglichkeit öffentliche Bilder von Institutionen wie der ESA in Wikimedia einzubinden?

Danke und Liebe Grüße,

Jürgen, Wegener Center für Klima und Globalen Wandel

Request for File Deletion Reconsideration

In late June of 2016, a set of documents relating to the origination of the International Association of Lions Clubs were deleted. I'd like to ask that they be replaced as they are important to the truthful origination of the organization and as such, should be made available. Not only should they be replaced, but I would like to add more that speak to the issue.

Items deleted are listed at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_Jodi_IBJ_BookPub

In sum, Dr. William Perry Woods, a prominent Medical Surgeon in Evansville, Indiana, was the founder of the Royal Order of Lions. By 1911, he had incorporated and formed 54 lodges in various, mostly northern, states. And, although Fraternal and secretive in nature, his "Dens" were to bring about fellowship and goodwill. That, nevertheless, was not enough to keep alive the Royal Order movement in the southern states. It is a fact well documented that the Ku Klux Klan, enticed by the name Royal Order and the secretive/Fraternal nature of the organization, began to infiltrate Royal Order Clubs, Nation Wide. This, according to the founder, Dr. William P. Woods, hastened the downfall of the Royal Order of Lions as a nationwide organization.

In 1916 Dr. Woods responded to the crisis in the South by forming a sister organization that would be comprised of "Luncheon Clubs" and once formed, he would "turn the organization over to them" (the Southern clubs). Thus, } on 24 October 1916, the International Association of Lions Clubs was incorporated in Evansville, Vandenberg County, Indiana and in the mind of it's founder, Dr. Woods, all Southern Royal Order Lodges, were considered to still be subordinate lodges and thus, were extended invitations to reorganize into the International Association of Lions Clubs. Originally, Dr. Woods and his co-founders felt that as soon as 50 clubs had formed under the new organization, a charter meeting would be held. However, the critical nature of the problems in the South demanded earlier action so Dr. Woods, in the summer of 1917, sent out invitations to 33 Southern clubs to join him in October of 1917 in Dallas, at the Adolphus Hotel. Dr. Woods, the Founding Father of Lionism, was subsequently elected to be the first President of the International Association at the Dallas Convention and the San Antonio club became a part of the newly incorporated International Association of Lions Clubs.

Little did the pioneering members of 1915, 1916, and 1917 know that their efforts to hold weekly meetings, recruit new members, maintain fiscal responsibility, and exert a combined influence for the betterment of the community were, in fact, laying the foundation for what would become [5] the world's largest service organization.

Because of the lengthy tenure of the Club's Secretary, Melvin Jones, it has incorrectly become a belief that Jones had a hand in the founding of the International Association of Lions Clubs; not so. The evolution, yes; the founding, no. All Dr. Woods.

The documents that were removed were specific to the discovery process that shows Dr. Woods and not Melvin Jones, founded the International Association of Lions clubs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saflc99 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Trash bins and Waste containers

Don't you think there's a difference between "waste containers" and "trash bins" ? aren't you making extreme simplification : make a search on Google on the two terms, you get two series of pictures very different. In french, the difference exists well between "poubelle" (trash bins, a small collector in your backyard or in the streets) and "conteneur à ordure" (waste container, a bigger collector, in the basement of apartment buildings, or offices buildings, hospitals, that the waste collection trucks can easily pick with automatic system).--Jean Housen 07:34, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Autopatrol

Dear colleague! You specified the requirement for 500 edits to apply for autopatrol status. Well, but what about cross-wiki contributions and statuses? I made a half of this on Commons, but almost 16k edits globally. I am an administrator and patroller in Wikipedia in Esperanto; I have three statuses in Wikipedia in Russian: d:Q10862160 (ability to delete pages), patroller and rollbacker. Am I eligible for autopatrol status on Commons now? Gamliel Fishkin 09:55, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

@Gamliel Fishkin: See COM:PATROL. It isn't a policy but a rough guideline. We grant autopatrolled etc. to experienced and trusted users here on commons. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:42, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. COM:PATROL says that it is an official guideline; but its section COM:AP does not provide any precise numbers. However, it says: "This right is commonly granted to users who… create a high level of quality pages or uploads that do not require patrolling by other users. This reduces the backlog of Newpage and Commons:Anonymous edits. This right is also granted to users who make a large amount of good edits that do not need to be patrolled, to reduce the clutter on Watchlists". I upload files and create and edit pages not every day, but I am active here some days; for example, at 24 July 2016, I made 55 edits on Commons, in this number uploaded 28 software screenshots. Is it a large amount of good edits that do not need to be patrolled? Do you consider me as an experienced and trusted user? (I think that this ping not worked: as far as I understand, a ping works when it is placed in the same line and by the same edit with the signature.) Gamliel Fishkin 12:57, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
@Gamliel Fishkin: A admin will grant you the rights if he thinks that you are ready for it. There is no rule such as "you will get it with xxx edits". --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:01, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
How do you think: am I ready for autopatrolled status, or am not? Gamliel Fishkin 13:06, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm familiar with Gamliel Fishkin and consider him a trustworthy editor. I've made him autopatrolled here. INeverCry 16:33, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Image rotations of File:Venn 0000 0001 0001 0110.png

Hi Steinsplitter, when a user with exactly one contribution asks to rotate an image without giving a reason, maybe your bot should not just rotate it within two hours, without consulting anyone. I think a change that can not be undone with one click, should take more than one click to make. Greetings, Watchduck (quack) 18:58, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Estella Warren photo from Flickr?

Hi. I was trying to upload https://www.flickr.com/photos/usanainc/4363022913/in/photostream/ but the UploadWizard warned me that you had deleted this file two years ago. Can you explain? Was it not properly licensed on Flickr at the time? Any objections if I upload it now? (Our other photos in Category:Estella Warren leave something to be desired.) --GRuban (talk) 01:47, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

@GRuban: Hi,
  • (diff) 07:44, 15 June 2014 . . LX (talk | contribs | block) (460 bytes) (Copyright violation. The Flickr user is not the copyright holder and therefore cannot issue a valid license.)

--Steinsplitter (talk) 10:42, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! I don't suppose you know why LX wrote that? I mean, the Flickr user is USANA Inc., the photo is high resolution and in a large album of other images taken at a USANA event, on the same day, by the same camera, all that, to me, indicates the Flickr license is valid. Maybe ... was it in a different Flickr account at the time? I am asking you since you deleted it, so am assuming you understand LX's reasoning, but I understand it has been a couple of years. I will also ask LX directly. --GRuban (talk) 13:29, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
The reason is the exif: {{flickrvio|Non-free photo by Todd Williamson/WireImage according to metadata.}}. At the first look it seems valid? --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:31, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
Ah. I see. OK, can't argue with that. I am guessing it's likely that USANA hired Williamson to take these photos, but we clearly can't accept this image without an OTRS email or other similar statement explicitly saying that. Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 13:39, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure I added that image (or one of its variations) and I still don't agree with LX's reasoning (he rarely bothers to check events, he usually just DR's images which have 'getty' or 'wireimage' in the exif like he did to one of my recent uploads), not all US government organizations have photographers on the 'stand-by', some actually hire professional photographers to take the images of certain larger events for their organizations, Wireimage and Getty image photographers are used in that way and since the images were taken at their venue (you can see the USAnainc logos in the background) and uploaded to their flickr account in High Resolution, its obvious they paid for the right to those images and also chose to release them under their licence of choice, we used to delete every images added from getty and wireimages before even if they were released under appropriate licenses..time for a change in our own policy?--Stemoc 13:51, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Template:Featured picture candidates overview

Moin Steinsplitter,

wäre es möglich diese Seite um einige Spalten zu erweitern? Ich würde es begrüßen wenn es um die Anzahl der bisher abgegebenen  Support und  Oppose Stimmen erweitert würde. So könnte man auf einen Blick sehen wo noch Handlungsbedarf besteht. Und außerdem würde es die Analytiker-/Statistiker-Herzen unheimlich befriedigen ;-) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 09:50, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Renamed file

Hi. I mean, this was really not "harmonizing the file names of a set of images" (and even not "completely meaningless name"). There is not a convention that titles of photos of rolling stock need to contain complete registration number of the vehicle, even not in the set of the uploader. I notified the proposer that such proposals regarding to images which are not his own uploads are unacceptable. --ŠJů (talk) 02:49, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

@ŠJů: Oh, I thought the identification number was incomplete. Thanks for letting me know. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:51, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
The uploader used a type number 810 without a specific number of the individual vehicle. It's not mandatory to include a whole registration number of the vehicle (product) to the file name, even though I understand it can be one of useful infos. --ŠJů (talk) 14:48, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, because of an irritating AbuseFilter bug, we (Kaldari, MusikAnimal and I) are going to do an update next week that will affect some of your filters.

Popups

Hey Stein. I hope you don't mind a quick tech question. My popups has been working badly for a few weeks now. When I mouse over a user's name in recent changes, popups has trouble displaying the edits/user rights, or doesn't display them period, or won't display diffs so I can see what a sock/vandal has done without having to click on the diff. I also get a lot of messages at top right in my browser that say script error or a longer message indicating an error with popups in detail. It does this in the newest Firefox and the newest Opera Browser; I've also tried spoofing a Chrome browser and Safari, but still have problems with popups. Any idea how I can fix this? Would actually editing with the newest Chrome help? Would it help to update my user agent switcher to include Windows 10-compatible browser strings (I use Windows 7). I know you're busy, so take your time answering. INeverCry 23:09, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi @INeverCry: I added missing dependencies to the resource loader. Does it works now (don't forget to clear your browser cache)? --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:08, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Looks like it's back to normal. Thank you my friend. INeverCry 16:47, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Maybe not all the way back to normal. I'm still getting some "script error" messages, and the edits/user rights are taking about 10 seconds to display. So probably 50% normal. Better than it was in any case. INeverCry 17:21, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Scheckenfalterbilder

Guten Tag Steinsplitter. Ich sehe, dass Sie zwei Falterbilder mit Beschreibung Euphydryas intermedia hochgeladen haben, die aber in der Euphydryas aurinia-Kategorie liegen.

Proposer's name in edit summary

Hi Steinsplitter. I noticed some category moves from July 2016 and want to discuss some of them. However, it's vere difficult to discover who was the primary designer of the changes. It's needed to examine history of User:CommonsDelinker/commands and afterwards the previous history of User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. I would welcome if the username of the proposer (or of the admin who take the responsibility) be a obligatory parameter of the move template (as well as the reason is) and be contained at the top of the edit summary. --ŠJů (talk) 14:49, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I care not. It is MY legal right to upload MY legally owned and copyrights HELD photograph, and MINE to state that it SHOULD NOT have been deleted in preference to someone's photo-shopped version thereof. If someone wishes to "use" the photoshopped version THEY MADE, that's fine, but my ORIGINAL FILE as uploaded was never authourised as being able to be modified for use INSTEAD OF my original own owned photograph.

Please reinstate MY FILE." It is the ONLY original photograph still in existence, which is OWNED by the direct heir of the original copyrights owner, and as I obtained it via the fully LEGAL descendants inheritance rights of receipt thereof, I am therefore the ORIGINAL OWNERS "COPYRIGHTS" HOLDER.

Cropped automobile images

Hi Steinsplitter, I noticed that you cautioned User:EurovisionNim for violating COM:OVERWRITE. He was subsequently blocked. I believe this block may have been done in error. At best the guidelines are open to interpretation, but I believe File:BYD F0 in Vientiane Laos.jpg and File:2000 Nissan Pulsar (N16) ST sedan (2016-01-04) 02.jpg were certainly fine to be cropped.

The guideline prohibits "radical crops" not crops in general, see here. The guideline specifically states "File:Miyasaka Hakuryu II - Tigress with Two Cubs - Walters 71909.jpg is an image of a museum object on a grey background; cropping much closer to the object was considered a minor crop." The above car photos are no different, it is simply trimming away the background which does not add value or information to the main subject which is the car. The background is incidental and is not necessary to correctly interpret the illustration.

Many of EurovisionNim's crops are to my photos, and I gave him explicit permission to do so (see here), so his cautioning for cropping File:2000 Nissan Pulsar (N16) ST sedan (2016-01-04) 02.jpg was unwarranted (although I understand you were probably not aware of me encouraging EurovisionNim to crop my files). Many of the car photos uploaded to Commons are straight from cameras without any editing. They are not edited most probably due to time restraints. The camera's aspect ratio will rarely be correct to the shape of the car. Nim's crops only improves these photos and makes them compliant with Commons:WikiProject Automobiles#Images which stipulates users to "crop out distracting elements like parking lots, objects, or other cars".

If there are any issues with individual crops made by Nim from other users, I see no problem with a revert in the few circumstances where issues have been brought up. OSX (talk • contributions) 07:10, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

@OSX: COM:BP describes the unblock procedure, This is not the correct way to request unblock, the user knows it very well. Commons:WikiProject Automobiles is not a guideline, you crated it yourself (not community approved), but COM:OVERWRITE is. The crop here and a number of other crops has been made in violation of the aforementioned guideline. See users talkpage and block log of the user, i have nothing to add.--Steinsplitter (talk) 07:25, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
I'm not asking you to unblock Nim. If I were I would have asked A.Savin who performed the block. I am here to discuss with you the interpretation of COM:OVERWRITE.
You stated above that Nim performed crops "in violation of" the guideline. However, you have not explained how. I took the time to provide you with explicit evidence to the contrary in the guideline which you did not respond to. Commons:Overwriting existing files#Substantial crop or un-crop is just as valid as all the other sections of COM:OVERWRITE. Paraphrased, it permits the cropping of unnecessary background from the main subject of images. This is what I would like to discuss with you please.
As for the Wikiproject guideline, it may have been added by me, but it is not my actual work. It was forked from en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions and was developed by community consensus there. It has remained in place at Commons undisputed for 7 years now. Of course I am open to engage in dialogue with the wider community if there is a desire to change this. OSX (talk • contributions) 07:52, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Those crops you mentioned above are indeed bad. Please see Lead room. Those crops look like chipping off the left and right to make the subject squeezed in the limited space. Note that images in Commons are not only for thumbnails in wikis. Jee 08:14, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
I and many others disagree. Matters of aesthetics are open to personal preference. OSX (talk • contributions) 08:54, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
@OSX: The policy leaves no room for inconsistent interpretations. A number on AN/U complains which can be found in the respective archive are confirming that such crops are not okay, therefore i see no need to discuss this with you here. Controversial crops are not allowed, the user can upload the crop under a new filename. You (and EurovisionNim) may have your own point of view, but you can't ignore the underlying rules. --Steinsplitter (talk) 08:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
The policy says what the policy says—and it clearly allows for cropping of unnecessary background from the main subject of images. What it clearly disallows for are "major crops" which substantially change the file. If Nim's crops were to only include the centre of the cars (i.e. the doors) this would be a major crop. Likewise, if the background added something useful, taking this away would be major. I actually do see the need to discuss this with you because I believe you are making an interpretation of COM:OVERWRITE without taking into account the guideline in its entirety, i.e. the part that states "File:Miyasaka Hakuryu II - Tigress with Two Cubs - Walters 71909.jpg is an image of a museum object on a grey background; cropping much closer to the object was considered a minor crop." OSX (talk • contributions) 08:52, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

I do not deem this to be resolved as you have twice now proclaimed: [10], [11]. I actually find your behaviour very rude. You keep trying to push me away. If you don't want to discuss matters of significance that affect other users you should not engage in behaviour that substantially affects other users, such as resulting in them being blocked.

Each one of your responses has suggested that I basically go away and stop messaging you. Please do not push me away, I am trying to discuss an important matter with you. OSX (talk • contributions) 08:57, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

I was pinged on my page. While I know a bit about Wikidata, I don't know a thing about "Authority control". But also, the request here is pretty unclear to me; I suggest that you'd do well to state exactly what it is that you want to have happen before trying to find someone to do it. - Jmabel ! talk 14:40, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello Jmabel, the matter is pretty simple, but I don't know the structure of templates on WikiCommons so I prefer not to touch them especially if they are widespread. Briefly, {{On Wikidata}} imports on Commons a list of wikilinks for the item on Wikidata. {{Authority control}} which is used alternatively to {{On Wikidata}} in those case whether the topic of a given category has on its Wikidata item some information like VIAF, LCCN and so on, adds the Wikidata item but not the wikilinks to the subject. Thus I wondered whether it was possible to add that feature to {{Authority control}} either. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 21:17, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Sorry: more advanced templating than I've done, and while I've done stuff on Wikidata, I've never accessed Wikidata templates data from elsewhere. I suggest that you consult whoever did this in {{On Wikidata}} and see if they can help out with {{Authority control}}. - Jmabel ! talk 23:24, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Ok Jmabel, thanks! -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 12:24, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Delinker

Hallo Steinsplitter, lässt es sich vielleicht irgendwie machen, dass im CommonsDelinker das {{Done}}-Bapperl bei den cat moves nicht am Ende, sondern am Anfang der Zeile gesetzt wird? Das würde die Arbeit beim Aufräumen wesentlich erleichtern (so wie heute mit den elend vielen cat moves). Gruß, --Achim (talk) 17:22, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

@Achim55: Hi, Vor dem Rename? --Steinsplitter (talk) 17:26, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Genau. Durch den Zeilenumbruch erscheint es jetzt je nach Zeilenlänge (wenigstens bei mir) mal rechts und mal links, da muss ich bei jeder Zeile genau hinsehen. --Achim (talk) 17:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Achso, wegen der Bildschirmbreit. Das Done am Anfang währe vermutlich etwas seltsam. WIllst du das Done komplett enfernt haben (würde mit js oder css gehen)? Alternativ könnte man die Schriftgröße für die Seite anpassen (in deinen common.css) --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:09, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Jein, mir gings nur darum, dass man zwischen 100 done-Zeilen die vielleicht 2 oder 3 besser sieht, die nicht done sind. Aber danke für den Tip mit dem Scripting, dann mach ich das über js oder auch hier im Firefox. Schönes WE! Gruß, --Achim (talk) 18:47, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

„Уики обича паметниците 2016“ започва! :)

Здравей!

Организационният екип на фотоконкурса „Уики обича паметниците“ те кани от 15 септември до 14 октомври да участваш на тазгодишното издание на конкурса и да помогнеш за съхраняването на културното наследство на България и илюстрирането на свободната енциклопедия Уикипедия. Изпратихме ти това писмо, тъй като знаем за твоята съпричастност към уикипедианската кауза от участието ти в някое от досегашните издания на състезанията „Уики обича паметниците“ или „Уики обича Земята“ през 2015 или 2016 година.

Отново търсим твоите снимки от културните паметници на България – манастири и църкви, възрожденска архитектура, автентични крепости, музеи и музейни експонати. И тази година няма ограничения на броя снимки, с които можеш да участваш в конкурса. 25, 50, 100 или повече – зависи от теб! Както всички фотографски конкурси в Уикимедия, най-важното условие е, че трябва да предоставиш снимките си под свободен лиценз, без водни знаци и други надписи с декларации за авторството върху тях. Още за правилата на конкурса можеш да прочетеш оттук.

Най-добрите 10 снимки, които журито класира от националния кръг на конкурса, ще продължат в международния кръг на „Уики обича паметниците“, където ще представят страната ни. А авторът на снимката-победител на международния кръг ще получи като награда участие на световната уики-конференция „Уикимания“, която ще се проведе през август 2017 година в Монреал, Канада.

Но по-важното е, че твоите снимки междувременно ще помогнат за илюстрирането на съществуващите статии в Уикипедия, а защо не и да вдъхновят написването на нови статии, свързани с българската култура и история! Благодарим ти предварително за всяка една твоя снимка, с която допринасяш към свободното познание!

Поздрави,

Екипът на „Уики обича паметниците“! (Доставено от MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:52, 18 September 2016 (UTC))

The files must be PD in both source country and the US. See Commons:Copyright tags#United_States and en:List of countries' copyright lengths. --Steinsplitter (talk) 06:53, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
The files are from Algeria, The file here citted Two Christian sisters. Kabylie, Algeria. ca. 1905 - 1920 || Vintage postcard; publisher Mission of the White Fathers, the other file do not mention the year is only mention Famille chrétienne de Grande Kabylie, but the picture is very old more than 70 year. so they may be fit under {{Pd-old}}?. sorry for asking alot of question.--Jobas (talk) 06:16, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
I don't have a account on pinterest therefore i can't view singe files. It might be {{PD-Algeria-photo-except}} (but i am not a specialist in algerian copyright law). --Steinsplitter (talk) 07:25, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Rotate error!

File:Vranové 2.díl - kříž proti čp. 131 (1).jpg contained {{rotate|90}} request but SteinsplitterBot did ° (EXIF-Orientation set from 6 to 1, rotated 180°) instead. --ŠJů (talk) 01:28, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

File:Vranové 2.díl - kříž proti čp. 131 (2).jpg is the same case. --ŠJů (talk) 01:31, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

@ŠJů: This is how MediaWiki rotates files based on EXIF automatically. If you open the files (both) in the Browser itself you will see that the files has been rotated correctly. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:51, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
@Steinsplitter: Regrettably, 90° is not 180°. The two images were requested to be rotated 90° and were rotated incorrectly 180°. That's why they need 270° rotation now to correct the error. The wrong rotation is visible at the image pages as well as in the Gadget-GallerySlideshow browser. --ŠJů (talk) 18:01, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
@ŠJů: You have to calculate the exif-orientation. If the exif-orientation (set by the cam) is wrong/or parsed wrong by mediawiki, the rotation won't be correct. And it is, unfortunately, impossible to fix (bot would require eyes).
For example: Image rotated by 90° and EXIF-Orientation (set in the exif) set from 6 to 1 = 180° in total. Ignoring the exif-orientation would cause that files with correct orientation are getting rotated wrong - it is tricky. And it is technically impossible to fix, the bot would require eyes O_O. :-( --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
What I can see is that the photos were 90° wrong, they have been requested to be rotated 90°, but they were rotated 180° and that's why they are wrong again. If the bot had followed the request exactly, the images would be correct now. Simply said, 180° is surely not 90°, independently on the original EXIF-Orientation number. The uploader had eyes O_O when put the 90° request and I haev yes O_O when i request 270° to correct the error. The bot needs not eyes, the bott needs to fulfil the request. --ŠJů (talk) 18:39, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
@ŠJů: Sorry, it has been rotated as requested. It is a bug in media wiki, i filed it as https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147015 for now. Open the file in RAW in your browser (not with a gallery tool) and you will see it is completely different from the file hosted here (test it with the first file version).
Which means: In fact the file does not require a rotation at all, mediawiki is rotating it wrong. When opening it in fullscreen it is rotated yet. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:44, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
And this one is likely the cause: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75602 --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:52, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Aber das einem Franzosen zu erklären, ist mir zu anstrengend. Wie das ist mit dem speziellen ORTS-Ticket - bin selbst überfragt (reicht es beim ersten Upload oder muss jedes Derivat mit Ticket gekennzeichnet sein). Auch die Persönlichkeits-Rechts-Vorlage wäre empfehlenswert. Zumindest ist das jetzt nicht mehr die Kategorie Vandalismus. Danke, wenn du dem Benutzer etwas hilfst.

Rotation errors

Hello Steinsplitter.

A few images are not rotated as I requested. This might be because the EXIF-Orientation was set from 6 to 1, rotated 180° at the same time. I don't know how to handle that. Could you try to rotate these yourself? All 4 should be shown in portait.

Thanks. HenkvD (talk) 18:38, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Just request rotation again. After https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/313514/ has been merged no rotation is needed . --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:42, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

User:Lymantria has requested the rotate again. Your bot just has removed the request with the remark "(rotated)", but no change to the image was made. Please check again. HenkvD (talk) 18:56, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

MediaWiki edit proposal

Hey there, Splitter! I see you marked my edit proposal at the MediaWiki site regarding changing the standardized text for image files as "done", but it doesn't appear that the proposed change was actually made to the text... Am I missing something? (wouldn't be the first time). Please do let me know. THANKS! KDS4444 (talk) 22:23, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, The change just affects Wikimedia Commons english language interface. To change it on all wikis a request on phabricator is needed. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:30, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Hmm.... I am only looking at the English language interface. For example, the Susan Hauptman: I scroll to the bottom, and the metadata section still has the old text about the timestamp possibly being "completely wrong". Are you seeing something else? Does the updated text only get applied to new uploads? KDS4444 (talk) 23:01, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
The same text as on MediaWiki:Metadata-help. Do we have to change something else on the MW page (i don't understand your comment at the talk)? --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:29, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
My proposed text went like this: "This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file." (as available here). The current text reads, "This file contains additional information such as Exif metadata which may have been added by the digital camera, scanner, or software program used to create or digitize it. If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong." Let me know if there is still some confusion about this. Thanks! KDS4444 (talk) 00:56, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
@KDS4444: Sorry, but i don't get what you want to change exactly. Please post the test to a /Sandbox so that i can copy&paste it. --Steinsplitter (talk) 08:47, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
See my /Sandbox section "Revised text for MediaWiki template". The exact text is located in this section. Thanks! KDS4444 (talk) 16:08, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
[[:This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it.

If the file has been modified from its original state, some details such as the timestamp may not fully reflect those of the original file. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.}}]] You mean replacing the whole text (sorry for asking again!)?--Steinsplitter (talk) 16:17, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter: The text is now very close to what I had proposed. All that now needs to be done is the final sentence with the wording "completely wrong" needs to be removed. Almost there! Remove the final sentence, and I will finally drop the matter. Thank you!!! KDS4444 (talk) 04:38, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to bug, but I never did get any further response on this point (above). As I said, I am almost happy now with they way the text looks, but am still (yes, still) interested in seeing that final sentence, which still says "The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.", removed from the paragraph. Everything else looks great! Can you take that sentence out for me though?? It is redundant, and only gives emphasis to the likelihood of error where error is in fact unlikely. I realize this is getting to be very, very old business, but that sentence was the whole reason I decided to bring the issue up for discussion. So close... Please remove and make me smile! Thank you! KDS4444 (talk) 09:44, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

  • It looks like you have moved on (?). Fair enough, given the length of the thread and the confusion over which version/ what text/ what change/ etc. I guess I can go back and resubmit my edit request and see about getting that final sentence excised another way. Thanks for your help with this as far as we got, though! You can go ahead and consider this matter resolved (I have tagged it as such) and I will head back over to the MediaWiki page I came from. Cheers! KDS4444 (talk) 22:46, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Function "to rotate" in the bot

The bot is out control when it rotates a imagen. Look File:Nazrul Citizenship Certificate.jpg. --Metrónomo's truth of the day: "That was also done by the president" not an excuse. 03:52, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

I did not do it, was another user. The bot does not cover all the ways in which the template can be used and enters an endless loop, that's not a problem of users, but a bot programming error.

Sending mass messages

Hi Steinsplitter,
How did you send this mass message? Did you copy&paste contents of Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States/Messages/Thanks without the header or did you use something like {{subst:Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States/Messages/Thanks}} ~~~~~? I am asking because Special:MassMessage requires message subject to be entered and when the message text already contains a header, then two headers are created on destination pages. Today I tried to send Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States/Messages/Results using the "subst method" and encountered the problem. I have solved it by wrapping the header in <noinclude></noinclude>, but I would like to know how others deal with it. --jdx Re: 08:58, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I added the header in the header field. Haven't subst'ed the msg. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:53, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Category:Media needing categories as of 4 November 2016

Hello, Steinsplitter.
Your bot SteinsplitterBot added Category:Media needing categories as of 4 November 2016 to my photo File:Two seedlings Robinia pseudoacacia D160218.jpg and to some others of mine.
I dont understand. My photos have a category : Category:Two seedlings (Tangopaso). This is a hidden and user category (not my choice!). And this category is linked to a plain one : Category:Robinia pseudoacacia (seedlings). What is the problem ? Why uncategorized ? If this is because it is a user category, I will create another one, like Category:Two seedlings or another one.
A question, very different. What happens to the pictures without category ? I see that the oldest one are from April 2nd 2013. Following my opinion, pictures without category and/or without description should be deleted after one year for example.
You can answer here with a ping to me. I will follow. --Tangopaso (talk) 13:45, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

@Tangopaso: The file has no valid non-hidden category's, just hidden/user categories. Please add valid categories as per COM:CAT. Regarding your last question: Non-categorized files should be categorized, missing category's are no valid reason for deletion. Thanks --Steinsplitter (talk) 15:06, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, your bot adds "Uncategorized" template to files which are categorized in a non-existent or a hidden category. That's completely fine and I thank you for flagging such images.

The phrase "Removing phased out category" must be hyphenated: "Removing phased-out category". ("Phased-out" is a compound modifier of "category". Without the hyphen, the default meaning is "removing [has] phased out [a] category" instead of "[bot is] removing [a] phased-out category".) — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 19:00, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Image spambots

Hi Stein. Is there a way you could use a bot to generate a list of images that have links to websites in their descriptions and update it daily? I would love to have a list or filter like this to patrol daily, and then share it with Herbythyme when he comes back from vacation. This is the new generation of spambot activity. We hardly get any of the X-Rumer page spamming pattern accounts any more, but we get plenty of image spambot pattern accounts uploading generic photos and screencaps and then spamming the descriptions to get around abuse filters like #85 and #113. Thanks for your time. lNeverCry 23:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

@INeverCry: Hi, You mean links placed in |description= ? --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:39, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
Yes. Here are a couple examples of these image spambots and how they work: [13] and [14]. These two were spambots both spamming a link, 007soccerpicks.net, that had already been spam blacklisted by Herbythyme. I let him know on his talk, and you commented there too: User talk:Herbythyme/Arc27. We get probably 5 to 10 of these per day on average. This first started back in 2013 when I was still a checkuser. The majority of these are coming from big webhosts in India, Bangladesh, and the US. The images are often copyvio stock photos and web screencaps, which makes this a spam and copyright problem all in one. lNeverCry 01:35, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
Will create such a filter tomorrow. --Steinsplitter (talk) 19:42, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

First overwritten Toonami blue-white logo needs deletion

Recently I uploaded the new logo file for Toonami's Wikipedia page, and when uploading it, the white-blue color of the logo did not fare well with the background. So I reuploaded it in black so people could actually see the logo on white. The version before the black reupload of the file, the white one hard to see, is no longer needed on Wikipedia and I'd like it deleted.

I would use speedy delete but I'm not sure if it would delete the whole file. I am not new to Wikipedia but I am to Commons. I just want the image I overwritten deleted.

Hi Steinsplitter, bei o.g. Datei hat Sfan00 IMG m. E. nach eine nicht gerechtfertigten LA gestellt. Ich denke, dass die Datei den von mir angegebenen Lizenzen entspricht, weil sie nur aus einfachen geometrischen Formen und Text besteht. Warum nun die Datei auf en:WP eine Non-free-Lizenz enthält verstehe ich nicht. Was meinst du dazu? Der LA-Steller räuspert sich seit meiner Antwort nicht.

rotate Cicindela arenaria viennensis

Hallo, hier bin ich wieder (abgeregt). Ich hab' die Verhaltensregeln einmal und die rotate-Sache zweimal durchgelesen, blick aber mit den Exif-Daten ändern nicht ganz durch. Unabhängig davon gibt es offenbar zwei Probleme. Entweder das Bild ist einwandfrei falsch orientiert - wegen der neuen Software oder nicht - oder man kann das Bild so oder so orientieren, dem einen User ist es so lieber, dem andern anders. Ich hab mir jetzt alle 24 Verwendungen der Datei angesehen, bei manchen ist die Orientierung egal, bei anderen ist die alte Orientierung eindeutig besser, teilweise ist der Text auf die schmalere Bildseite eingestellt. Ich habe jetzt die vertikale (gedrehte) Form auf meinen PC geladen. Außerdem habe ich dem Ypna auf seiner englischen Talk-Seite das Problem dargestellt (scheint aber nicht oft besucht zu sein) und vorgeschlagen: Ich lade die vertikale Form unter Cicindela arenaria viennensis gedreht auf Commons hoch und setze das bereits geladene Bild auf die horizontale Orientierung zurück. Bei letzterem hatte ich aber Schwierigkeiten, das System meldete schon zurückgesetzt, das Bild war weiterhin vertikal. Nach meinem Versuch, den Cache zurückzusetzen, war der Käfer weiterhin nach oben orientiert. Nun möchte ich dich bitten, das vorhandene Bild zurückzusetzen, ich glaube erst dann kann ich das gedrehte Bild hochladen, sonst meldet das System mir, dass das Bild schon vorhanden ist. Ich warte jetzt erstmals auf deinen Kommentar, ob mein Vorhaben im konkreten Fall sinnvoll ist. Eventuell meldet er das gedrehte Bild auch dann noch als vorhanden, dann würde ich es leicht verändert schneiden.

Außerdem habe ich die letzten Beispiele von deinem Bot angesehen. Der arbeitet ja für den Normalfall richtig. Die Frage bleibt, ob er für dies Ausnahmen so geändert werden könnte, dass er unter zwei Namen abspeichert, wenn beide Orientierungen richtig sind. In der Biologie sind eben vorn entspricht oben oder vorn entspricht links beide richtig, aber im Kontext häufig nur eines sinnvoll. Entschuldige bitte meinen Ton beim gelöschten Beitrag. --Siga (talk) 18:07, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Hallo, Ich weiß nicht von welchem Bild du genau sprichst, bzw von welchen Cicindela arenaria viennensis. Aber alles was umstritten ist darf, auch von dir, revertiert werden (einfach die Drehung zurücksetzen). Ich versuche schon über ein Jahr zu erreichen das die Drehfunktion in MediaWiki direkt eingebaut wird, leider steht die Sache bei der Foundation leider eher unten auf der Prioritätsliste. Es funktioniert also derzeit so: Der Nutzer fügt die bitte drehen Vorlage hinzu und das Bot dreht die Datei, dabei wird auch die EXIF Rotation angepasst (also in den Metadaten der Datei) weil MediaWiki sonst die Datei automatisch gedreht anzeigt. In Summe ist es alles recht komplex, Fehler sind ab und an unvermeidlich. Man darf sich aber erwarten, das jener Benutzer welcher die Drehung veranlasst dafür sorgt das es auch passt (wer das war siehst du in der Verbionengeschichte der Datei). Wir müssen also warten bis die Foundation die Funktion direkt in Commons einbaut, das wird aber noch etwas dauern. lg --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:36, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Ich glaube, ich brauche deine Hilfe. Also: ich habe dieses Bild zurückgesetzt und die gedrehte Version hier neu hochgeladen. Dann habe ich das Ergebnis nicht nur in Commons, sondern bei den Verwendungen des Bilds angeschaut. Dabei stellte sich heraus: 1. Bei Verwendung in einer Gallerie war das zurückgesetzte Bild noch in der nicht zurückgesetzten Form abgebildet, etwa hier als 11. Bild. 2. War das Bild als thumb verwendet, war es zwar zurückgedreht, das Hochformat aber beibehalten, das Bild also faktisch gequetscht, etwa hier rechts 3. Bei Verwendung in der Taxobox ebenfalls gepresst hier oder hier. Ich bin extra zu einem anderen Computer, ob es vielleicht am Cache liegt, aber auch dort das gleiche Ergebnis. :c
Eventuell habe ich beim Rücksetzen einen Fehler gemacht, denn ich habe anfangs im Reiter Versionsgeschichte versucht zurückzusetzen (ohne Ergebnis), dann erst habe ich in den Dateiversionen auf der Dateiseite zurückgesetzt, das hat dann auf der Dateiseite auch geklappt. Vielleicht weißt du Rat, andernfalls, wo kann ich mich hinwenden? --Siga (talk) 10:29, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

funktioniert, danke, habe mir den Tipp notiert --Siga (talk) 16:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Steinsplitter, mich beschäftigt weiterhin das Problem, dass unbedacht gedreht wird. Jedenfalls sollte in den Baustein, in dem die Drehung beantragt wird, auf den dann der Bot reagiert, eine Warnung eingebaut werden, etwa: prüfe nach, ob bei den Verwendungen des Bilds in den versdchiedenen Projekten durch das Drehen negativen Effekte entstehen. Falls ja, speichere das gedrehte Bild unter einem anderen Namen. Wo kann ich eine entsprechende Anregung plazieren? Danke. --Siga (talk) 09:22, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

@Siga: Commons ist ein Wiki, wiki ist da um zu verändern und so. Und wenn was nicht passt eben revertieren. Ich sehe dahingehend keine notwenidgkeit da es seit Jahren kaum Probleme gibt. Bitte sprich den User an, welche die Drehung veranlasst hat. Ich kann hier wirklich nicht helfen, sorry.

Unnecessary bot edits?

this kind of edit seems a bit pointless, unless the new lines for each category are important for something? As this is how Commonist formats multiple categories for photos uploaded using it, this type of edit by your bot is currently filling up my watchlist! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:48, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

@Mike Peel: It is not marked as [minor] here (in case you are going to edit the page file a bug here, need to be fixed upstream), and bot edits can be hidden from the watchlist. Oh, and by the way: Could you please be so kind and add one category per line, which is standard practice on commons. --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:44, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
Communist is adding cats in that way? That must be fixed at Commonist... Not helpful. --Steinsplitter (talk) 11:51, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
Commonist only provides a one line textbox in which to enter categories, so if there's more than one category then they all have to be on one line (see File:Commonist "The Commonist 0.4.28".png - left-hand column, "Categories" input box).
I don't care one way or the other about whether categories are on one line or two, but this was my watchlist with just this morning's edits by your bot, which seems excessive and pointless! Can it be marked as minor on that page? I would do so myself, but your mention of a bug page implies that it would be reverted?
I don't like to hide bot edits as I've encountered problems with bot edits before. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:25, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
@Mike Peel: Well... if you don't like to hide bot edits - that is a other problem and explains your issue with cleanup bots. May i ask which problems you encountered? The *hide bots* is to hide uncontroversial, minor edits (regarding marking them as minor will take a look). --Steinsplitter (talk) 13:24, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
OK. It just seems pointless. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:27, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
@Mike Peel: Add to your common.js (hiding that kind of bots):
if ( mw.config.get( 'wgPageName' ) === 'Special:Watchlist' ) {
   $( '.mw-changeslist li:has(a.mw-userlink[title="User:SteinsplitterBot"])' ).hide();
   $( '.mw-changeslist li:has(a.mw-userlink[title="User:YaC-Bot"])' ).hide();

Service #2

Hallo Steinsplitter,

wir hatten mal Kontakt wegen meinem Commons:Commons SVG Checker. Jetzt habe ich wieder eine neue Version meiner Software fertig. Daher brauche ich jemanden mit magischen Rechten. Kannst du mir den Inhalt von User:Menner/CommonsSvgChecker-Development.js per copy&paste nehmen und bei MediaWiki:CommonsSvgChecker.js vollständig ersetzen. Die Änderungen zeigt dies Diff.

Dank und Gruß -- Menner (talk) 10:16, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
