On the past days I received a notification telling that the file was going to be deleted. Although the file is now been deleted, I want to know why, because I uploaded it specificating it was another's person work. I also want to know how to upload works from other Internet users correctly. The Sammirs (talk) 19:22, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@The Sammirs: Hi,
The file was copied from Facebook, and the author is said to be unknown. 1. Do not copy files from Facebook. Anybody can copy anything to Facebook, so it is not a reliable source. Rather ask the author to upload the original image. 2. Do not upload recent works from the Internet, specially if you do not know the author. The author must provide a free license, so if you do not who are they, a free license can be provided. 3. More generally do not upload documents from the Internet, unless you have evidence that it is in the public domain or under a free license. Yann (talk) 17:40, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bdblakley29 and Find a Grave

Hi Yann. You've already warned this user about uploading copyvios and they haven't uploaded anything since then; so, perhaps they have decided to be more careful. However, it seems they've been scouring "Find a Grave" for photos they can add to en:List of unusual deaths, and pretty much uploaded them to Commons regardless of there being very little or perhaps no information about their copyright status, and almost always without even a url. Find a Grave isn't really a good source for photo because the ones they host can seemingly be uploaded without any vetting and without verification of copyright status. It seems to be basically a free-for-all, and photos are probably only removed when someone complains. I'm kind of surprised it's not listed at COM:PRS, but perhaps it should be. Anyway, there are probably some more problem files buried in this user's uploads which need to be assessed because it seems there just picking a license that "feels" right like they've done with File:Fearful scene women torn to pieces by cats.jpg, File:Abu Nasr al-Jawhari.webp, File:Paris Green.webp, File:Oliver Dolphis Durpe.jpg and File:Mary Sutton.jpg. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Hi,
Yes, Find a Grave is not a valid reference for recent pictures. However it should be OK for old pictures. I tagged one of the files with "no permission". Yann (talk) 11:31, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A file that need trimming and to be fixed up please

Hello Yann,

I have gotten it all wrong again so, as you have been very kind in the past, you might be able to help again.

This commons file - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sgt._Robert_Carrington_Middleton_(1875-1916)_Leeds_Special_Constabulary.png

needs to have all of the writing - except the name and Leeds and Yorkshire reference underneath it - REMOVED.

Please help if you can and sorry Srbernadette (talk) 12:36, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Srbernadette: Hi, It seems it was fixed. Yann (talk) 19:10, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of files uploaded by user Daeva Trạc

Hi, Yann.

In my watchlist, I noticed that a number of files have been deleted. So I checked your contributions and found that user Daeva Trạc has been blocked and all the files uploaded by him have been deleted. First, I've seen many sockpuppets of Đăng Đàn Cung, and in my opinion user Daeva Trạc's editing activity as well as his uploads are different from Đăng Đàn Cung. Here is an example from which you can see his reflection on his work: He requested that some of the inaccurate maps he had previously created and uploaded be removed. Also if I remember correctly Daeva Trạc usually included sources in his files while Đăng Đàn Cung always doesn't bother to do so.

Then, even if he is Đăng Đàn Cung, most of these documents are educational and not violating copyright. For example, he uploaded many South Vietnamese propaganda materials, which were made by the Government of South Vietnam and the US (thus in PD in both countries). Another example is File:External marquis Cường Để at Japan.jpg, a portrait photo of a famous person; It had been used in many articles and it has entered PD in both Japan and the US.

Could you kindly restore all these files so that we are able to check them? Also, I'm wondering where we can discuss about this user's activity so that we could determine whether it's a sockpuppet or not. 源義信 (talk) 14:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Donald Trung you have been dealing with Đăng Đàn Cung for a long time, I'm wondering if you have seen this user Daeva Trạc and what are your thoughts. 源義信 (talk) 14:31, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@源義信: , User "Daeva Trạc" is certainly not a sock of "Musée Annam", they simply share similar interests, but the files uploaded by user "Daeva Trạc" often contained fictional flags to debunk the bullshit claimed by "Musée Annam" for years, several of their uploads were nominated for deletion several times already but they were within scope, they only uploaded attested fantasy flags (which were all within scope as they were used with external sources on Wikipedia to illustrate that these are popularly misattributed as real historical flags) to debunk their historicity. User "Daeva Trạc" is a good faith user who has simply been mistakenly tagged as a sock of "Musée Annam" by people at the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia for displaying similar interests, but "Musée Annam" immediately attacks anyone the moment he gets discovered, user "Daeva Trạc" has been politely pleading his innocence for years. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Many similar cases exist, for example, at the English-language Wikipedia user "Solomon203" as a sock of the Nipponese Dog Calvero since 2017, despite the fact that they are completely unrelated people simply because he has similar interests and is from the same country (the Chinese Republic, also known as "Taiwan"). Unfortunately, once an accusation has been accepted it is nearly impossible to overturn it, user "Solomon203" literally went to the office of Wikimedia Taiwan in person to confirm that he was someone else and the administrators at the English-language Wikipedia still ignored the Mandarin Chinese-language Wikipedia's admins who were affiliated with the local chapter, so I don't think that it is realistic for user "Daeva Trạc" to be unblocked at the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia and people elsewhere we will see the block and just assume that their assessment was correct. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, user "Daeva Trạc" lives in Canada, user "Musée Annam" lives in either Nam Định or Hanoi. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:05, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is really weird, I just checked the Meta-Wiki and the global lock 🔐 was requested by user "Nguyentrongphu" who had blocked him at the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia on June 6th (sixth) 2023, yet he seemed to have waited more than a year to request this. This seems more like a petty move than anything else, here is the question, did the Steward in question actually compare the accounts or did they just take the admin's word at face value? There has literally never been a sock puppet investigation, people were literally just insulting him, calling him bad news names (admins and rollbackers), some of these people even came here to the Wikimedia Commons to insult him. The admin who requested him to be globally locked also wanted to request a local block at the English-language Wikipedia last year when there was a discussion there, but because he himself is blocked there for "WP:NOTHERE" he likely just used the Meta-Wiki to circumvent local wiki's and unilaterally globally ban him based on his own hatred for him. All the fake flags he uploaded were both properly sourced (as in they were used in real life festivals and have been misused by pop historians) and whenever inserted in Wikipedia were used to debunk misinformation. But Vietnamese users simply saw fake flags and wanted to immediately ban him. This begs the question how many other users simply interested in Vietnamese history are blocked because of careless actions, user "Yann" clearly acted in good faith as from the timeline this user appeared to have been globally locked as a known copyright ©️ violator and spreader of misinformation, but the fault was ultimately at the stewards for not investigating. @源義信: , maybe it would be wise for you to request a global unlock 🔓 and also let this user do his own story. He is clearly not "Musée Annam", also a simple CheckUser investigation will easily find that they are not even in the same continent. @Yann, would it be wise for me to open a CU request to prove his innocence or are these requests only to try to connect guilty users? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:48, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@源義信 and Donald Trung: Hi, I restored all the files. I indeed got confused by the global lock. Yann (talk) 19:07, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suppression de la photo de Mme Sylvie BONNET, Députée de la 4ème circonscription de la Loire

Bonjour @Yann,

Je me permets de vous contacter concernant la suppression de la photo de Mme Sylvie BONNET, Députée de la 4ème circonscription de la Loire.

Pourriez-vous, s'il vous plaît, m'expliquer la raison de cette suppression et m'indiquer comment la rétablir ?

Merci par avance, Ferroti-Evan (talk) 22:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ferroti-Evan: Bonjour, Pour toutes les photos dont vous n'êtes pas le photographe, il faut une autorisation écrite formelle de celui-ci. Voyez COM:VRT/fr pour la procédure. Il n'est pas nécessaire de réimporter les photos. Elles seront restaurées quand l'autorisation sera validée par l'équipe de volontaires.

Quick inquiry

Hello Yann. I noticed that you deleted the file 'Speech1,jpg' covered in this log, for copyvio. I'm sure the deletion was justified, but I was confused as to the exact reasoning for your conclusion, and was hoping you could clarify, if only so I could understand the process of the determination a little better (I am not a very frequent commons user, but rather an en.Wikipedia regular). I note that the file was uploaded under a self-work claim by the uploader. Was your determination to delete it due to the fact that an express permission/free-use license had not been provided at the time of upload, or did you simply find there was reason to doubt the claim of ownership? Thanks in advance for any education you can provide here. To explain my interest: I was using the image in question on my user page, and if it is going to disappear into the aether, I was hoping I could at least use this as an opportunity to understand commons a little better. Snow (talk) 03:17, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Snow Rise: Hi, This image was copied from the Internet without a permission or a free license, so it is a copyright violation. Therefore the policy explained at COM:NETCOPYVIO applies. Yann (talk) 09:23, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Yann. Thank you for your message where you brought to my attention the Copyright status: File:Kapitänleutnant Otto Weddigen and his Wife.jpg. The photo in question was taken a very long time ago back in 1914 and the author is unknown. I have marked that it is not my own work and provided a link to the source where I found the said photo. If this is not enough, what more should I do? Please note that I am a brand new editor and i'm still learning. Benzekre (talk) 11:30, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Benzekre: Hi, You didn't provide a license. I added one, for Europe and the USA. Yann (talk) 11:34, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Logo Panthères roses (Paris).png

Bonjour Yann, Vous avez supprimé l'illustration que constitue le logo de l'association des Panthères roses (Paris) alors que celui-ci est placé par son auteur sous licence Creative Commons (confirmé personnellement après recherche du contact de l'auteur). Le seul motif que j'ai trouvé sur la page de suppression est "Non-free character animation" et il me semble qu'il est le résultat d'une confusion entre ce logo qui est une œuvre indépendante et la série d'animation "La Panthère rose" qui est probablement sous Copyright. Pouvez-vous me le confirmer et m'indiquer la marche à suivre pour rétablir, ou m'expliquer à quel titre cette suppression est légitime ? Merci. RiggsUltraOmni (talk) 04:34, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RiggsUltraOmni: Bonjour,

Deletions of Category:RAF Strike Command / Category:RAF Transport Command

These should not have been deleted, and certainly not as speedies with no explanation left in the deletion log.

As I've just posted to a relatively new editor:

== Renaming well-established categories ==
When moving categories like Category:RAF Transport Command, please leave a redirect behind. Or if moving them with a cut-and-paste move, don't delete the original; instead convert it to a redirect.
Whatever your opinion of the original name, if it is a reasonable name (not necessarily the best name or the formally correct name) and has been around a long time, then there are likely to be inbound links to that page. It's not good practice to then break those links. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm disappointed to have to point any of this out to an admin. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:11, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Dingley: I don't disagree with you, but it was speedy nominated as empty categories by User:Militum professio scriniarii. Yann (talk) 19:51, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So what?
No, seriously, so what? If they nominated the main page, would you delete that? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You have to assume a bit more good faith. How do I supposed to know which categories require a redirect? As I said, I didn't move the categories, I only deleted it as it was empty, and tagged as such. Yann (talk) 09:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No-one should action a speedy unless it's clear. Otherwise knock it back to a CfD. This is fundamental in our speedy processes (any of them).
We do not even have a 'speedy' deletion process. COM:SPEEDY alone is not a valid reason or explanation. We have about thirty of them, and the relevant one should always be noted (and its conditions met). If this was claimd to be C2 then that has a seven day window before deletion, because of situations just like this.
We have good policies in place to prevent this sort of issue happening. Please try and follow them, rather than ignoring them for 'short cuts' that cause even more trouble and wasted time. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you don't know what you are talking about. And since there are redirects now, you should Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. Yann (talk) 21:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to avoid a speedy deletion?

Hi Yann. You just deleted this category: Category:Paintings by Christian Aigens in Arbejdermuseet. I tried to avoid the deletion by opening a discussion about the deletion. It did not work. What would be a better procedure? Cheers Rsteen (talk) 02:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rsteen: It was, and it is still empty. It can be undeleted or recreated if it is not empty. Yann (talk) 07:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your swift answer. It only became empty because another user moved the file it contained, and then asked for a speedy deletion. Where I come from, you would discuss a deletion with the user who had originally created the category (me), and that is what I had hoped would happen. So again, what would the best procedure be to avoid a speedy deletion in cases like this? Cheers Rsteen (talk) 12:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Rsteen: Please discuss this with the user, and/or on the Village Pump. Yann (talk) 12:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this video kept?

Hello Yann.... At Commons:Deletion requests/File:Me at the zoo.webm, the sole !vote cast was to Delete, on the grounds that the claimed author Jawed Karim was not in fact the videographer and therefore not the copyright owner. It was asserted that Karim had designated the video as Creative Commons Attribution at one point in the past (it isn't any longer)... but that's completely irrelevant. The video is not his to release under such a licence. Until and unless it's determined that the videographer has assented to release it under those terms, it should not be hosted on Commons, and the discussion should have closed as delete.

You removed it there after User:Grandmaster Huon started massivelly nominating files for speedy-deletion.

File:Protest against Kolkata rape-murder.jpg

File:Protest against Kolkata rape-murder.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

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

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

Recreate deleted category

Hi, I noticed that you deleted Category:Flags of provinces of Indonesia under speedy deletion. However, there was a previous discussion about deleting this category, and the result was to keep it, as the nominator was eventually convinced. Despite that, it seems the category was still deleted under speedy deletion. It appears that a user has systematically emptied this category to make it eligible for deletion. I plan to restore the content of this category, so could you please recreate or undelete it? Thank you. Ckfasdf (talk) 00:01, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ckfasdf: The category was, and is still empty. It can be undeleted if it is used again. Yann (talk) 09:06, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just an FYI, but the flags in the category were and still are fictional. So I moved them to Fictional flags of Indonesia. Ergo why the category was deleted. From what I understand of previous conversations and my own research, there are no provincial flags in Indonesia. I actually research these flags pretty extensively and there's zero authoritative sources from what I can find with images of the flags. The only places seem to exist is on user generated cites like this one. So I'd like to see actual evidence from @Ckfasdf: that the flags are real before they re-populate the category and restore it. Otherwise I'm just going to revert them. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Adamant1 simply didn't conduct enough research and overlooked the facts that were mentioned. You may refer to my talk page or Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Fictional flags of Indonesia for the full discussion. Ckfasdf (talk) 14:05, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I actually did spend quit a lot of time researching this before I nominated the images for deletion and you've linked to absolutely nothing from an official source that has images of the flags. All you did is link to document on a random Google Drive account that looks half put together and anyone could have edited. Then in the DR your "evidence" was a bunch of links to unsourced user created symbols on Commons and some dead links. BTW, you also edit warred me on File:Flag of North Kalimantan.svg to restore a category that doesn't even exist. You should have at least waited to revert me until the DR was done or the conversation was at least over. Since there's a chance the file will just be deleted anyway. So there's really no point in reverting me restoring the category right now. You can't just repeatedly revert someone when their middle talk to you about it though. That's not a collaborative way to interact with people. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Previously, I requested deletion of this file to get rid of the file history (I am OK with keeping the file, but not the history), but my requests were rejected. Should I request a revision deletion instead?

Thank you very much in advance! Osx (talk) 23:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Osx: I have hidden your name from the upload history. Is it OK like this? Yann (talk) 14:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is OK. Thank you very much! Osx (talk) 15:23, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: YesAutosign

Hi, SignBot need a __NEWSECTIONLINK__ magic word to work if target page is not a talk page. I've added that to COM:UDR and it should work now. Stang★ 00:33, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

reː apparently wiki thinks i'm uploading non-copyrighted images...

There's a misunderstanding. All those images i uploaded are not violations. I've already emailed the permissions at wiki commons to straighten it out. i'm here to make wiki better so uploading a non-copyrighted work would be nonsensical. i've gotten executor of wills and family who are owners of the work of all those photos to email them and straighten it out Gregorcollins (talk) 23:26, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gregorcollins: Hi, OK, but you need to write better sources, authors, etc., and if you are not the author, we need evidence that the pictures are in the public domain. Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying my library of images - which many are just sitting there not being used - is perfect, BUT, the pictures in question - the 80 year old ones attributed to Maria Altmann and her family (Adele Bloch-Bauer etc) are indeed owned by the owners who have emailed Wiki commons. Again, I'm not trying to ruffle feathers here but I will be more cognizant in uploading pics now Gregorcollins (talk) 11:45, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewing all your files, it is clear that you copied images from the Internet, and wrongly attributed authors to you. Do not do that again, or you will be blocked. Yann (talk) 10:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: User talk:Hurricane Clyde

I am asking; since you warned me not to ping you and also condemned my practice of pinging other administrators. What should I do when I suspect that a file that has already been DRed meets the criteria for speedy deletion?

I had been pinging administrators because I was trying to run it through the proper channels to the best of my ability. I felt in my opinion it was better for me to be rebuked in the discussion and be told it didn’t meet speedy criteria there; than to unilaterally put a tag on it and it be reverted and me possibly get a warning template and/of block over it.

Please reply to this on my talk page. Thank you. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 17:56, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

copyvio

Hi.. It seems that User:AWAW0262 has continued to upload copyrighted images despite your last warning on his talk page. Could you please look into this issue? Thank you. Ckfasdf (talk) 22:37, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Blocked, copyvios deleted. @Ckfasdf: Please inform the uploader when you tag files. Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:40, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DRs

Hello Yann, I wanted to ask you, after seeing your messages on Hurricane Clyde's page, should I strike out/remove my comments on discussions on where I was pinged, and does that constitute canvassing/canvassed votes? If so, I can strike out or remove the comments that I have made on them and refrain from commenting on further discussions where I'm pinged, and have advised him to refrain from pinging me on other discussions until I hear from you. I do apologize if I have violated any policies in doing this, and thank you. ChrisWx ☁️ (talk - contribs) 23:19, 13 September 2024 (UTC) (edited 23:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC))[reply]

  • Honestly I’m going to ask the same question. I would like some clarification as to what the canvassing policy actually means. Because I was accused recently by ChessEric on it. And I’m not upset at @ChrisWx for coming to you; I’m not going to defend myself. I just want clarification as to what the proper way is to facilitate discussions if this isn’t it. And I want that clarification that way I don’t make the same (or similar) mistake again.
  • I will add that my intent was to quickly facilitate a discussion. I’ll add that my pings are to people that I know for a fact have differing opinions. So I want to clarify that if I was indeed canvassing; I wasn’t knowingly or intentionally doing so.
  • Please post a copy of your reply to my talk page that way I can have it for future reference. And I want to say that if I did violate any policies; I am sorry, I didn’t mean to, and I will try my best not to do it again.

Can you please explain why did you revert the CSD F7 in the above file? At least provide a reason for that instead of not saying anything. I'm the uploader and it's quite clearly a broken file. S5A-0043Talk 09:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@S5A-0043: Hi, Sorry but it is not broken for me. It looks perfectly OK. Are you sure it is not a cache issue? Yann (talk) 16:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Funny. I cleared my cache 10 times and this is what it shows: [1]. Anyways, if it isn't broken for you, please just consider this as a G7 request since it's only been 2 days after upload. S5A-0043Talk 23:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hello, File:Pseudohedron with no vertex visible from center1396@.jpg, which you deleted as copyvio, has been reploaded as File:Sajidul@d10.jpg. I just wondered what made you think it was a copyvio? To me it seems like own work and qualifies for {{User page image}}, unless w:User:Mdsajidulislamd were to be deleted. Jonteemil (talk) 16:13, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is not a selfie, so formally we need the photographer's permission. But I redeleted it as per COM:WEBHOST, and blocked the uploader for a week: no useful edit anywhere, except self-promotion. Yann (talk) 16:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you. Jonteemil (talk) 20:07, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
