Photos of Dilaver Najafov
[edit]Hi Jarekt,
I remember that you uploaded the photo from the page of National Paralympic Committee of Azerbaijan Republic under unique ticket number[1]. Is it possible to do the same thing for the photos of photographer Dilaver Najafov?
I have contacted with him and he agreed to upload his photos from his facebook, instagram etc. accounts under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. He have sent the required OTRS mail to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, where he gave url links to his accounts with his photos, and got ticket number 2024082610003915.
Is it possible to get unique ticket number for him and I start to upload his photos?
Many thanks, Interfase (talk) 07:40, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Interfase I think you are on a right track. The only issue is that I lost my access to VRTS system and I am no longer able to help. I would go to Commons:Volunteer Response Team/Noticeboard and ask there. Best luck --Jarekt (talk) 13:18, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-35
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Feature news
- Administrators can now test the temporary accounts feature on test2wiki. This was done to allow cross-wiki testing of temporary accounts, for when temporary accounts switch between projects. The feature was enabled on testwiki a few weeks ago. No further temporary account deployments are scheduled yet. Temporary Accounts is a project to create a new type of user account that replaces IP addresses of unregistered editors which are no longer made public. Please share your opinions and questions on the project talk page.
- Later this week, editors at wikis that use FlaggedRevs (also known as "Pending Changes") may notice that the indicators at the top of articles have changed. This change makes the system more consistent with the rest of the MediaWiki interface. [2]
Bugs status
- Editors who use the 2010 wikitext editor, and use the Character Insert buttons, will no longer experience problems with the buttons adding content into the edit-summary instead of the edit-window. You can read more about that, and 26 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Project updates
- Please review and vote on Focus Areas, which are groups of wishes that share a problem. Focus Areas were created for the newly reopened Community Wishlist, which is now open year-round for submissions. The first batch of focus areas are specific to moderator workflows, around welcoming newcomers, minimizing repetitive tasks, and prioritizing tasks. Once volunteers have reviewed and voted on focus areas, the Foundation will then review and select focus areas for prioritization.
- Do you have a project and are willing to provide a three (3) month mentorship for an intern? Outreachy is a twice a year program for people to participate in a paid internship that will start in December 2024 and end in early March 2025, and they need mentors and projects to work on. Projects can be focused on coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, research). See the Outreachy page for more details, and a list of past projects since 2013.

Re-evaluation
[edit]Please re-evalute this case: Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by HansEST. EXIF-data says that author is JOOSEP KAPSTA, and uploader name is different Estopedist1 (talk) 12:43, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- also pinging @Kruusamägi per comment at User_talk:HansEST Estopedist1 (talk) 12:45, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Estopedist1 I agree that the name in exif is different than the both usernames used, but that is no proof of anything. We generally do not require users to state their real name, so we can verify it. Also I personally had cases where I took photographs with someone else's camera and than had hard time cleaning up the EXIF data. So I like to Commons:Assume good faith, until I am presented with facts that contradict this assumption. This did not happen in this case. --Jarekt (talk) 13:48, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- It is evident from a small googling that J. Kapsta deals with photography and lives in Tartu, and there are multiple good reasons to assume that he is a member of that student organization (like for starters: what is depicted). So, even if he is not the uploader, then the uploader is likely someone he knows very well (and the username part seems to indicate that as well). Multiple users have also edited the organization article (and related articles) and they seem to be members of that organization, and images have been uploaded as part of it. Assume good faith is a very reasonable approach here. Kruusamägi (talk) 16:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Tech News: 2024-36
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Weekly highlight
- Editors and volunteer developers interested in data visualisation can now test the new software for charts. Its early version is available on beta Commons and beta Wikipedia. This is an important milestone before making charts available on regular wikis. You can read more about this project update and help to test the charts.
Feature news
- Editors who use the Special:UnusedTemplates page can now filter out pages which are expected to be there permanently, such as sandboxes, test-cases, and templates that are always substituted. Editors can add the new magic word
__EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__
to a template page to hide it from the listing. Thanks to Sophivorus and DannyS712 for these improvements. [3] - Editors who use the New Topic tool on discussion pages, will now be reminded to add a section header, which should help reduce the quantity of newcomers who add sections without a header. You can read more about that, and 28 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
- Last week, some Toolforge tools had occasional connection problems. The cause is still being investigated, but the problems have been resolved for now. [4]
- Translation administrators at multilingual wikis, when editing multiple translation units, can now easily mark which changes require updates to the translation. This is possible with the new dropdown menu.
Project updates
- A new draft text of a policy discussing the use of Wikimedia's APIs has been published on Meta-Wiki. The draft text does not reflect a change in policy around the APIs; instead, it is an attempt to codify existing API rules. Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the proposed update’s talk page until September 13 or until those discussions have concluded.
Learn more
- To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
- Charts, the successor of Graphs - A secure and extensible tool for data visualization (25 mins) – about the above-mentioned Charts project.
- State of Language Technology and Onboarding at Wikimedia (90 mins) – about some of the language tools that support Wikimedia sites, such as Content/Section Translation, MinT, and LanguageConverter; also the current state and future of languages onboarding. [5]

Template:PD-US-alien property 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 template, 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. |
