Hi @Yann. I hope you're doing well. This is second time you deleted the category "Category:Ankara by medium‎". Despite my warning, a user is repeatedly emptying this page and nominating it as a speedy deletion. I am really sick of this situation because I already tried to explain it. He also led to deletion of "Category:WikiProject Ankara", which was also efficiently used. I do not think that these pages should be deleted. --Görkem Yavuz (talk) 16:14, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Görkem Yavuz: Please discuss this with User:Adamant1, and/or on any other relevant boards (COM:VP?). Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:18, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Görkem Yavuz: I suggest the Village Pump as the next step since all you did when I tried to talk to you about it on your talk page was act dishonest and then not answer my question about if there are other examples of categories for "cities by medium" since your claiming it's a common practice. There isn't really isn't anything else to discuss about this on my end out side of that though. Either "cities by medium" are a common type of category as you claimed or they aren't and therefore having the category deleted was justified. There isn't really anything else to discuss beyond that as far as I'm concerned though. As to the deletion of "Category:WikiProject Ankara", as far as I know there is no "Wikiproject Ankara" on here or any other project. So the category was totally pointless. Otherwise be my guest and point out a "Wikiproject Ankara" here or anywhere else. I'm sure you'll just ignore that like you did the other question though. So again, be my guest and take it up on the Village Pump if you think there should be categories for non-exiting Wikiprojects, but the categories should stay deleted until then. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:27, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that much hard to type and search for it. Quick examples:
All these categories are for listing different types of media about cities and this cannot be considered as overcategorisation. Yes, there is nothing to discuss because everything is obvious except your nonsense insistence. --Görkem Yavuz (talk) 21:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)‎[reply]
I asked for categories of cities "by medium" not "by media type." I'm sure you get the difference. Regardless, your claim was that it's "common practice." I'd hardly call it common based on the two categories in your list. Even if I were to include the ones "by media type" that still doesn't make it common. Let alone that worth doing in this particular instance.
But say I indulge you with the two categories on your list for a second. There's this little thing on here called the University Principle. Ergo, "the categorization structure should be as systematical and unified as possible." Looking at Category:Medium that category seems to be about the middle of things and/or "sizes of adjectives." Which makes sense. As "medium" doesn't usually refer to a type of computer file, which seems to be how you trying to use it.
Category names shouldn't be ambiguous either. If your intended purpose for "medium" is "type of file" but everyone else's is "the middle of something" then clearly your usage is the problem here. Really, the only thing your list shows me is that the other categories should be deleted along with Category:Ankara by medium. I'd say the same for the ones based on "media type" to. They aren't really much better. You obviously didn't put any kind of actual thought into this beyond the juvenile insults and condescension on your talk page though. Anyway, that's all I have to say about it. Apologies to Yann for the back and forth on his talk page. I'm still willing to discuss this on the Village Pump if you want to take it there. But I'm done with it outside of that. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:21, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:SelfStarter2

I saw after indef-blocking User:SelfStarter2 that you had given them a warning, and that they had no subsequent edits after that warning. I hope it's OK with you that I blocked them. Let me know if you really think I was wrong. My own view is that their conduct was such that there was virtually no chance of them becoming a positive contributor. - Jmabel ! talk 04:14, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please take a moment to look at this

This file history shows that I marked the fie as missing permission. Esther Bruton died in, if I recall correctly, 1992, The uploader states "Per Oct 25, 2023 email from Katherine Ets-Hokin, Librarian Archivist San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library, 100 Larkin Street, San Francisco, CA 94102, sfpl.org/sfhistory, 415.557.4527: No permission is required to use our photos on Wikipedia Commons, we just request that you use a hyperlinked credit line."

The key element for me is that the photographer of the original piece is likely to be the copyright owner, not the San Francisco Public Library. This I believe that their permission, not the library's, is needed.

I have asked the reverting editor for their rationale, especially since, generally, we "challenge" SD nominations, not revert them. No response though they have edited further since.

I have no desire, nor intention, to get into a revert war, hence my request to you for advice, including, please, any necessary flagging of this file for any form of deletion. You have already given advice to the uploader. 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 19:35, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Professor,

All letters or notes sent by Father Piotr to you are the property of the recipient, and we, as the Greater Poland-Mazovia Province of the Society of Jesus, have no objections to their publication.

Thank you very much for taking the time to include information about Father Piotr on Wikipedia. In the coming days, I will review it thoroughly and will possibly get back to you.

Deletion of Category:Historical images of Milan

Hi I was wondering why on earth delete a top category that might contain obviously historical images of Milan that are not traceable, as far as we know, to any recognized photographer. I also think that if you ever wanted to move images to the History of Milan category IMO it is a mistake because it should only contain categories related to precise historical events and not generic images that are considered historical. I also confess that I don't know exactly from what year it can be considered a historical photograph, do you have a guideline on this? Thank you for your attention. :-) Threecharlie (talk) 01:21, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Greed (1924) by Erich von Stroheim.webm

As i mentioned before, the original file is a fanmade reconstruction of the general release version i created and uploaded to the Internet Archive back in 2016. It was assembled, alongside footage from the 1999 reconstrucion (already uploaded in Commons by a third party), in SD so to keep the quality of the VHS main source.

I suggest to overwrite the windowboxed file with the original IA video file which is under a Public Domain Mark. --Mayimbú (talk) 03:41, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mayimbú: Hi, Which version do you suggest to overwrite? Most of the time, overwriting such files doesn't have any benefit. And if they are different by length or content, they should be kept separate. Yann (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticed the YouTube source for the file linked before is different from the one the talk page was linking to (a 4K upscaling of the original IA version). The original IA video file came with a watermark at the "Metro Goldwyn Picture" ending card, which the 4k upscaled upload keeps but the YouTube source file omits (hence the small but significant difference in length).
Considering that, my conclusion is that the IA "remastered" file should take its place until an upgraded transfer of the film were to be made.--Mayimbú (talk) 19:46, 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]

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. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 09:19, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Hi. Why are the four files restored? --Krd 02:44, 2 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,
Un représentant légal de l'association doit confirmer le licence via COM:VRT/fr, comme c'est le cas pour tout document publié auparavant. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 05:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merci beaucoup de votre réponse. Cordialement, RiggsUltraOmni (talk) 06:31, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all uploads by user Yousef_kazemi are copyright violation. Non of them are user works. I tags them, Please delete and block account temporaly, thanks.[[User:Modern Sciences|MSes]] (talk) 04:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Modern Sciences: Hi, If you nominate files for speedy deletion, please provide an evidence (source, watermark, EXIF data, etc.). Otherwise, just a create a mass regular DR. You can also warn the users. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:09, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:T2 (Tele2) logo 2024.svg

Colleague @Yann: I am the author of the upload of this image and I want to delete it due to an error when checking the file for validity. After deleting, I will upload it with the correct code under the same name. I don't see any obstacles. — ArtSmir (talk) 13:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ArtSmir: It doesn't work that way. If the file is in use, it won't be deleted. Yann (talk) 13:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Yann: That is, it all comes down to the fact that this file is used in 6 articles? — ArtSmir (talk) 14:09, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Curious

Hi Yann. Is it possible to know who nominated File:Dragn.gif for deletion? Jeraxmoira (talk) 18:29, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeraxmoira: There is no such file. Yann (talk) 18:43, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was one at File:Dragn.gif before you deleted it. Regarding File:Nikhil Nagesh Bhat.jpg, I thought Bollywood Hungama pictures were allowed on Commons? Jeraxmoira (talk) 18:46, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging you in case you missed my reply above. Jeraxmoira (talk) 07:48, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to ping me on my own talk page. Only some of Bollywood images are allowed, in the "News and parties" section. OK, I created a DR for File:Dragn.gif. Yann (talk) 08:54, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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]

Template

Like Template:Created with GIMP, is it possible to create a {{Created with Canva}}? ★ 21:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ArionStar: Sure, go ahead! Yann (talk) 22:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ArionStar: Start at Template:Created with Canva. Copy the code from Template:Created with GIMP. Replace GIMP by Canva, then you will see what needs to be fixed. Yann (talk) 09:41, 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]
