Commons:Deletion requests/File:Artistic Femininity GIF.gif

Hi. Your name has come up in this thread, and I think you should address the discussion. An indefinite ban is very harsh and begs the question of why it wasn't preceded by a much shorter block, if that was even necessary, and deleting 9 files that were kept in a deletion request thread for a reason other than copyright violation or the like is really questionable. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:52, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: Hi, I reduced the block, but most of their uploads are vanity nudity pictures without educational value. Files like File:Artistic Representation of a Woman 4.jpg looks like a joke. And I would delete that one too. Yann (talk) 09:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is that one that was the subject of a successful deletion request? I would say that Croatie has been agenda-driven, hasn't shown willingness to compromise that I've seen, and that not all her uploads have been good though many have been, but on Wikivoyage, we never start with an indefinite block unless we're dealing with a spambot, vandalism-only account, block-evader or someone obviously not there to improve a travel guide. Otherwise, we have a system of increasing blocks. Does Commons not have that? Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:14, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the case for copyright violations. For out of scope content, indefinite blocks will be much faster. I would be lenient for people providing useful educational content but have difficulties understanding copyright, while much more drastic for people uploading vanity and out of scope content, like in this case. Yann (talk) 12:29, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, and not what I would have expected. I'd expect harsher treatment of people who upload only crappy nudes or a bunch of stolen porn, not some of the best ones that they photographed, along with others that are not as good. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:44, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, Taivo agrees here that a block was necessary. Yann (talk) 11:50, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but not an indefinite one. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:55, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, what about those 9

files that were kept per a deletion request? Have you restored them yet? Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Semi"automated edits

I just wanted to state for the record I have never once made any edits that were automated here (or at any other WMF site; "semi" or otherwise). I have made many similar edits across pages but I wrote each one by hand in my browser (and my carpal tunnel can attest to that). I believe it was in bad faith that you evaluated my edits as such without a shred of such evidence. If someone wants to discuss my edits, I am open to that as with any other person's. It is quite foolish to evaluate someone as using automation when the very failings used to measure such point to human failings such as my inability to respond immediately, etc. I was never even asked one thing that I could respond to before being blocked. —Uzume (talk) 22:26, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You stated: "The fact that Uzume continues today is a problem". What exactly do you believe should/needs to be done? I have never been against collaboration. Thank you, —Uzume (talk) 00:30, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

question

Hi Yann, Thanks for your reaction about the picture that I uploaded. This is a picture of my grandfather which I found in an old family-picture-album. It was taken in 1918. You asked me to tag it. But can you please be a bit more speficic about where and what to tag. There is so much informatin about licensing that I really get confused with all the rules and regulations. Looking forward to your reaction, Best regards, Anneloes AnnaVeld1960 (talk) 11:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AnnaVeld1960: Hi, I added a license for you. Please add categories. Yann (talk) 11:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yann,

Thanks for adding a license for me. You asked me to add categories. I didn’t know what you meant so I have watched https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Tag_categories , but that didn’t help me. Can you give a suggestion which tag I could or should add? Best regards. AnnaVeld1960 (talk) 19:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal

Hello Yann, I am writing to you regarding the violations that you wrote to me, I uploaded photos from open sources, or my own, thank you for your attention. Vaktec (talk) 20:58, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaktec: Which "open sources"? These are obviously not your own works. Some old pictures may be in the public domain, but you must provide the proper source, date, author, and license. Thanks, Yann (talk) 21:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaktec: This website has a mention "© 2020 Локальна історія. Всі права застережено!" so it is not "open source". For old pictures, you need to assess the copyright for each picture. If in doubt, please ask on COM:VPC. Yann (talk) 09:33, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Yann, I didn't know that, thanks for pointing that out, well then can you delete these photos or what? Vaktec (talk) 09:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaktec: Some pictures may be in the public domain. I don't know the Cyrillic alphabet, so I can't understand what are these about. But if this is from Russia, then it is probably in the public domain. Yann (talk) 14:50, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about account

Hi Yann, Great day to you. I have a question that I am going to ask to you about something that is related to me, this question is mainly for the administrator Taivo, but, it seems like he is taking a break off of Wikimedia Commons for a while, I did see him recently editing Wikimedia Commons in the present, but he is not replying to me or showing any signs that he have seen the message that I had left on his user talk page, he is not replying to anyone that have left a message on his talk page either. Furthermore for that, this question will be shifted to you. Here's my question, before there were any sanctions or blocks on my account, when I searched up my name KhantWiki on Google web search bar, my name always pop up with the Wikimedia Commons, but I don't know why I had not been seeing it now, is it perhaps because of the sanctions and blocks that used to be lifted upon my account? I want my name and account to pop up on Google like the way it was, before the sanctions. Is there any way to solve this or any advice you have for this, or is this normal? I had already signed my name on both Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia. I would also like to share concerns about my English Wikipedia page, too. There isn't any sanctions or blocks placed on my account of English Wikipedia, but I suspect that it also appeared on Google before, when I have searched it up, it disappears, and only my Burmese Wikipedia account pops up when I search my name on Google. The most clear evidence that I have for the disappearance of my name on Google is Wikimedia Commons and now Wikipedia. I had gained enough knowledge about Wikimedia Commons as to not upload copyrighted pictures again, there are many images in the public domain that I can freely upload, I had also given a credible promise to Taivo and the user who have shown about Taivo to me, Thank you. KhantWiki (talk) 20:58, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@KhantWiki: Hi, I don't think appearance in Google Search in linked in anyway to sanctions you might have got here. I don't really know how Google engine works, so you have to ask them. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:41, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, and thank you for your response to my question, Yann. KhantWiki (talk) 11:00, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Enhancing999

No insult since I seem to be the only one on here who can be criticized, but do you really think denying Enhancing999's unblock request when there was only a day left and he said he wouldn't do it again was worth losing an otherwise productive editor over? Adamant1 (talk) 01:17, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, It is quite clear to me that Enhancing999 didn't understand the issue, so I don't see any reason for unblocking. Yann (talk) 10:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I get that you think he didn't understand the issue. His appeal wasn't that far off from the problem though. Taivo did the same nonsense to me when I appealed the most recent block. I don't except you guys to unblock people who are clearly being disingenuous. Refusing to unblock someone who's making a good faith effort to apologize and correct the issue because they didn't phrase the message 100% perfectly seems super pointless though. If nothing else it just creates unnecessary animosity towards admins and makes people less inclined to contribute after their unblocked. No one learns a lesson from it. I certainly didn't. Like I'm going to act better now that Taivo refused to unblock me because he didn't like my apology. Sure. It just comes off as needlessly petty and unsympathetic towards users. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:38, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion of File:Central Park Snowman.jpg

Yann, I noticed that you undeleted File:Central Park Snowman.jpg by American painter Sanford Ross and gave it a PD-old-70-expired license. However, both the date field and the flickr link date the painting to circa 1947, so it can't have been published before 1930. I think it will have to redeleted and added to the Category:Undelete in 2043 (1947 + 95 + 1) unless we have reason to believe it qualifies for one of the other US PD rationales. —RP88 (talk) 07:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RP88: This is probably in the public domain due to lack of copyright notice or renewal. I will add that information later. I already changed the license. Yann (talk) 10:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion of Steamboat Willie

Hello. I am not super familiar with Commons, but it appears my upload was deleted as an "exact or scaled down duplicate". This could not be further from the truth. My upload was painstakingly created as a *response* to the inferior, larger duplicate on Commons. It is in AV1 and not VP8, which is 1.5 generations newer than VP8 and provides better quality per byte. I tried to draw admin attention to this and get the inferior version replaced with my version, but I was ignored.

Gallica / Agence Rol

Bonjour et bonne année !

J'ai vu passer l'import de Gzen92, du coup j'ai rangé les 25 000 fichiers de l'Agence Rol. Je remplacerais bien la licence CCO, mais je suis un peu perdu dans tous les modèles DP de Commons. Est-ce que {{PD-France}} conviendrait vu que les photos sont publiées sous le nom de l'agence et les plus récentes datent de 1937 ? Et mettre {{PD-old-70-expired}} pour les photos avant 1930 ? Pyb en résidence (talk) 18:46, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A slight dilemma

Hi, Yann - Catherine Disher wants her old image changed to this new image File:Photo of Catherine Disher.jpg which I've already done on en.WP. There is a list of all the pages using the old image at the link I provided. I changed the en.Wiki image a while back, and I think (hope) I managed to change one other on the list today, but there are several more to go. I'm an English editor; therefore, not familiar with the other language Wikis. Can you help, please? ^Atsme _Talk 📧 02:28, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Atsme: Hi, You can edit other projects, or let a message on the article talk page. But this new image is not better than the old one. Could you ask her to send a good portrait? If she can't make one herself, she could ask someone else to take the picture, and then send a permission. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:50, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it boils down to a matter of opinion. As a VRT member, I can confirm that she provided and requested that File:Photo of Catherine Disher.jpg be used as her BLP portrait in place of the other image. See [1] for more details. I am aware that I'm a global editor, but the translator was not working efficiently for me when I attempted to make the changes, so rather than screw something up, I sought your help. I'll try it once more. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 10:37, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Atsme: Here is a good picture. Yann (talk) 10:44, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But Yann, we all looked better in our 20s. Regardless, it is (a) not representative of her today, (b) it is copyrighted, and (c) a person should be able to choose a photo they prefer to be remembered by on their own bio, especially considering they are not allowed to do much else about what's written in their bio by other people. The image she chose speaks to her persona which is the very essence of a biography. I've updated the images per her request. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 12:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So do i have to tag it with PD-self or can i tag it with CC_by-sa-4.0.

Commons Re-instatement request: File:Sir Frank Mears.jpg

Yann,

Your reply does not address my request to have the image file [Sir Frank Mears.jpg] re-instated.

I resent the implications that I have provided false information about the photograph and that more than one of my contributions may be of concern.

Sir Frank Mears died on 25th January 1953 while on a visit to his son in New Zealand. The photograph [Sir Frank Mears.jpg] is therefore clearly over 70 years old and by my reckoning no longer subject to UK copyright. I don't have a precise date for it, but as it shows Sir Frank in his later years and posed in his professional capacity, it was probably taken in Scotland sometime between 1945 and 1952. Mears had travelled to New Zealand in 1952.

I would be grateful for your guidance on whether copyright has expired on this image and, if not, why not. If you consider that, for some reason, copyright has not expired in relation to [Sir Frank Mears.jpg], I would be grateful if you would tell me on what date you consider it will have expired and can therefore be considered available for use as a commons image.

@Sandy Fortingal: Hi, There are several wrong things here: 1. You can't use {{PD-old-70}} is the author is anonymous, like you did. 2. For {{PD-New Zealand}} to apply, you have to prove that this was first published in New Zealand (for example in a newspaper). 3. Then you have to take US copyright into consideration. It would be in the public domain in USA if published in New Zealand before 1946, but again, that has to be proved. If first published in UK, then it will be in the public domain in USA 95 years after the publication date, so most probably not yet in the public domain.

Spam

File:Mountain dog looking at you.jpg - you could have just removed the spam URLs and then it'd be a perfectly good picture of a dog. DS (talk) 20:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright

Hola, Yann. Gracias por notificarme, pero la imagen estaba por todos lados y pensé que no tenía copyright, Y no todas mis imagenes tienen copyright. Algunas de mis imágenes las tomé de sitios de noticias cubanos, como la del tornado de la Habana de 2019, que la tiró una persona y después la mando a redes sociales, posteriormente se hizo pública ya que la persona no puso ningún sistema de copyright a la imagen, y con mi internet no puedo buscar esa imagen. Y como tiene dominio público la subí pero me la borraron, y lo mismo con la de la tromba marina de Caimito. Y el resto las tire desde mi casa.

Блок сторінки фото файлів

Тема: Прохання про перегляд рішення щодо блокування

Шановний Yann, Сподіваюся, ви добре почуваєтеся.

Я звертаюся до вас із проханням переглянути моє блокування на платформі Wikimedia Commons. Я розумію, що мої дії щодо завантаження файлів порушили політику платформи щодо авторських прав, і щиро шкодую про це. Моя помилка була зроблена ненавмисно через недостатнє розуміння правил ліцензування файлів.

Я готовий докласти всіх зусиль, щоб дотримуватися правил спільноти в майбутньому. Зокрема: 1. Я вивчив правила завантаження файлів і буду завантажувати лише матеріали з належною ліцензією. 2. Якщо будуть сумніви щодо ліцензування, я консультуватимусь перед завантаженням. 3. Я готовий видалити будь-які проблемні файли та допомагати спільноті в її роботі.

Прошу вас надати мені ще одну можливість брати участь у розвитку проєкту та виправити свої помилки. Я щиро ціную ваш час і зусилля, вкладені в адміністрування спільноти.

Дякую за розуміння та вашу роботу для підтримки Wikimedia Commons.

Blocked

Subject: Request for Review of Block

Dear Yann, I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to kindly request a review of my account block on Wikimedia Commons. I fully acknowledge that my actions involving the upload of files did not comply with the platform’s copyright policy, and I sincerely regret my mistake. The issue arose due to my insufficient understanding of the licensing requirements.

I am committed to ensuring full compliance with the rules in the future. Specifically: 1. I have reviewed the file upload guidelines and will only upload properly licensed materials. 2. If I am uncertain about a file’s licensing, I will seek advice before uploading. 3. I am willing to remove any problematic files and actively contribute to the community in a constructive way.

I kindly ask for another chance to contribute positively to the project and correct my past errors. I truly appreciate your time and efforts in maintaining the Wikimedia Commons community.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
