Just a little hint. With all due respect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6zaCV4niKk&ab_channel=Yusuf%2FCatStevens

There are people who always manage to turn a good day into a bad day for others. And there are also people like you who make it almost impossible to take further part in this project.

Think about it. Just keep your own problems to yourself and start having a little more respect for others. The world is beautiful, and it's beautiful because there are people who are constructive. I realize this won't even affect you emotionally, but I just wanted to let you know. Hubertl 17:48, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

good music. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 19:10, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

but rude message. // sikander { talk } 🦖 22:13, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

I see sincerity in the message. This account is still tolerated in this project only because it acts like a worm that decomposes garbage, and nothing more. It's a pity that it doesn't focus on the real garbage – copyright violations – but on images related to freedom of panorama. Being autistic like them, I understand their hyperfocus, but I would like them to realize it and start acting constructively instead of being so harassing as they are now. Please note that nominating images to deletion due to violating freedom of panorama is not and has never been the issue with this account. RodRabelo7 (talk) 07:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

@Hubertl, Modern primat, and RodRabelo7: Actually this account is bordering the problem user. We should also face the matter of users with whom interaction is difficult to impossible. -- Blackcat 09:18, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

@Blackcat - I noticed the Commons link you provided below. @Hubertl to your point, there is "history" here in a similar link for English Wikipedia, where they were indefinately blocked for "abusing multiple accounts." -- Ooligan (talk) 20:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
PS Moreover. It's a problem user who abused the patience of administrators. If it were for me I wouldn't have unblocked because they's disrupting the project. 12.26, 14 Ağustos 2024‎ Blackcat (A)

• i still believe this user is trying to contribute in good manner. modern_primat ^{ඞඞඞ ----TALK} 18:23, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

  @Modern primat: really? Please, tell us how, since it's hard to believe. -- Blackcat 23:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

  While I get frustrated by A1Cafel's calls on what to delete and I do believe there is sometimes bias on their part (hopefully unintentional), I do believe that A1Cafel is acting in good faith. I have seen a lot of good work from them. At least on my end I have not seen A1Cafel intentionally trying to bully or troll people. I have only seen A1Cafel make absolutist judgement calls that I would consider on the side of excessive caution rather than in the interest of Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia's mission.

OK to merge Co-op tea DRs?

Would you mind if I merged these DRs that all relate to the same mural?

• Commons:Deletion requests/File:Delicious Co-op Tea - geograph.org.uk - 3117786.jpg
• Commons:Deletion requests/File:Delicious co-op tea, Rochdale Pioneers Museum.jpg
• Commons:Deletion requests/File:Old-style ad for Co-op Tea (8066785463).jpg
• Commons:Deletion requests/File:Side of the Rochdale Pioneers Museum (9439625154).jpg

Regarding your deletion request Category The Virgin of Quito Monument in El Panecillo

The fact that you claim to be a supporter of the public domain on your user page can only be a bad joke. The fanaticism with which you want to delete entire categories shows that you are actually striving for a complete privatization of public space. Please change this mendacious self-disclosure, it's ridiculous. Arabsalam (talk) 23:20, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

That's FoP issue, not Public Domain. I personally still support PD. --A1Cafel (talk) 02:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

RfC: Third-party images published by the National Weather Service

I've now reviewed 1,000 images uploaded under the rationales expressed in the {{PD-NWS}} template and requested deletion of several.

The arguments for deletion, and to keep, are now following repetitive, predictable patterns and it would greatly help all involved if we could centralise discussion and obtain some wider community input.

Therefore, I have opened an RfC to gather opinions. Apologies in advance: it's long and detailed, but is frankly nothing compared to the words and time expended by all parties up to this point. Probably the most crucial issue revolves around how we interpret a general disclaimer published at weather.gov (Q.1 in the RfC).

Your advice is greatly appreciated! --Rlandmann (talk) 14:41, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello

Since we can't be certain if his photo is from before 1963 or possibly after, and whether it can be freely used without copyright restrictions, do you think we should consider removing it? Baginda 480 (talk) 14:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

His other photo also write taken before 1963, I think I need to ask you Baginda 480 (talk) 14:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

@Baginda 480: Mr. Hussein Onn became a member of Malaysian Parliament in 1971, then became a deputy PM in 1973 (later PM in 1976). Assuming the photo was taken when he took the oath of office as MP of Malaysia, it was definitely after 1963. I really doubt the date that marked by the uploader. If you feel this is unfree, you can submit it to DR. --A1Cafel (talk) 15:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm a newcomer here and still learning the ropes. Could you kindly assist me? I'd be very grateful. Thank you! Baginda 480 (talk) 15:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Save urls of South Africa FoP deletions

I have one very important request for you as you are by far the largest nominator for South African Freedom of Panorama deletion requests. Since Freedom of Panorama is included in the Copyright Amendment Bill of 2018, which looks likely to pass into law (though no one knows when), I would like to know if you could please save on commons somewhere a list of all of the South Africa Freedom of Panorama deletion requests you have made? That way, when the bill is finally gazetted into law the Admins can go through the list and undelete them. Thank you, Discott (talk) 09:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

@Discott: I have added [[Category:South African FOP cases/pending]] to each ZA's FoP nomination. Once the South African Parliament passed the amended FoP law, those images will be undeleted by the admins. So no worry on that. --A1Cafel (talk) 09:52, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

That's perfect. Thank you. --Discott (talk) 09:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I learned something new

I didn't know that deletion requests need to be categorized manually, but I now noticed that you've been doing such categorizations. I've used those maintenance categories at least once or twice to get an idea of what could fall under TOO, for example. Very helpful categories. Thanks for keeping track of those things this way :) Nakonana (talk) 13:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
