OTRS

I have uploaded a few images of actor Suriya on commons from BH. The photos show him attending a press conference for the 2014 SIIMA Awards. Could you review the photos for OTRS? Thanks. Ssven2 (talk) 10:16, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Unlucky choice of images. Can you nominate them for deletion? See Commons:Deletion requests/SIIMA images from bollywoodhungama. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:20, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

While the images are undeniably SIIMA related, is there proof there were actually taken in India and not abroad? If there is, I think they can be used. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:10, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

IIFA images at Bollywood Hungama

BH's free images policy does not include photos taken outside India, and there are tons of IIFA images from that site uploaded here illegally.

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Biathlon European Championships 2017 Individual Men 0222.JPG

Shamefull secsission. You follow a person, who never ever upload an image to Commons, a person who even at de:WP works very often ageinst me. You delete an image, that shows Sports. The result of Sports. I will remember this for the next time. As long Administrators like you act this way, I will think about my iploads in future. Maye it was a fault, to donate more than 23.000 of my images to Commons. Marcus Cyron (talk) 19:34, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

@Marcus Cyron: I am not at all aware of you or the DR nominator or the relationship you guys have. Being a totally uninvolved admin I do not think my judgment had anything to do with the uploader or the nominator but only to do with the usability of the image. I still believe that COM:EDUSE is not met. But you know you can still try COM:UNDEL if you are not satisfied with the result. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:01, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Akshatha Inamdar's images

Not entirely sure what you'd like comments on, so I'll give one general and one specific. I suppose you already know much of this (it's not like people get elected admins after a month of activity here), but I don't want to omit part of my train of thought.

General: yes, we almost never need multiple copies of the same image. Sometimes it can be useful, e.g. {{Archival version}}, alternate renditions of famous paintings, or odd situations where multiple copies are uploaded to deal with some MediaWiki technical issue, but with a typical user-created image, one copy is sufficient; additional copies should be deleted if there's not already some demonstrated use, although of course any admin should undelete one if someone wants to use the image and the non-deleted one doesn't quite do the trick.

In all the gallery-displayed images in the thread you put at COM:AN, I believe that the color version is more useful than the B&W. Seeing that we (WMF-wide) almost always use color images, and that B&W images are typically used in situations where a color image doesn't exist, I doubt that people are going to use B&W for these images when color's available. That issue's particularly relevant here because these are famous landmarks with tons of pictures; maybe if we had half a dozen images of a place, we could retain all of these, but as Category:Taj Mahal and its subcategories have more than two thousand images, and as Category:Sydney Opera House has several hundred (and each one has a whole subcategory for black-and-white images), I just don't get the point of keeping all of these.

My Lonar, Sindkkhed Raja photos

Its been observed that you have summarily deleted the Photos which carry lot of good value. You have reduced the Lonar lake into a minor article. Everyone knows how important Lonar is in terms of Geological, Architectural & tourism. By reducing it to minor it has been hurt so much that any international visitor would not bother on visiting.

Similarly Markanda Mahadev is such an ancient place of importance and you reduced it to TEXT article. i suspect the intention of mass deletion. Please explain me & remove my doubt on intention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Satish-ansingkar (talk • contribs) 04:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi I have been brought to a notice by User:संदेश हिवाळे that some event is going to be organized in order to improve Marathi Wikipedia. According to me there is no announcement such or notification on the local Wikipedia. As local Wikipedia doesn't allows to upload files it will be uploaded on Commons. I request you if such or any uploaded on Commons that are copyrighted don't allow it on Commons. As to verify the script (devnagri) other might not be familiar. So you take initiative to see whether it is copyvios.

Commons Conference project

Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Pictures from Bollywood Hungama

Hi Dharmadhyaksha, I'm a bit confused about the Bollywood Hungama licence template and I think you are one of the best people to ask how it works. I often feel unsure about images from BH, and right now I'm wondering whether File:Amit Bhadana Photos-Celebs-grave-IWM-Digital-Awards-2019-13.jpg would be allowed, provided the proper attribution and a link to this page are added. It was taken at the IWM Digital Awards which is an event in India – but does it count as a Bollywood event? I can't find any other images with "IWM digital awards" in the description. Secondly, the picture has a watermark which seems promotional to me per Commons:Watermarks#Unacceptable watermarks but again I'm not 100% sure. (I assume the watermark means that it was definitely a BH photographer who took the photo.) As this photo is used by undeclared paid editors for promotion at en.wikipedia I'm not going to look into how I could remove the watermark, if that is an option – I won't try to have the image deleted if it is in fact legal to have it here, but also won't use my volunteer time to help those people earn money.

If that image is not eligible for the BH licence, how about File:Celebs grace IWM Digital Awards 2019 Crop image.jpg? I tag pictures as copyright violations from time to time, and this particular area, with cropped versions of potentially copyrighted pictures, is one where I should really be better informed.

I can tag these images for deletion if they are in fact not eligible for Commons, but I guess I should place Template:BollywoodHungama on BH images to flag them for review in future, unless they are obvious copyvios?

Sorry about all the questions, but this is something I feel I should have known more about long ago :-) --Bonadea (talk) 12:07, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Bonadea: , Bollywood Hungama through an OTRS email have given permission to use some of the images from their website. This includes events that take place in India. You may check the template Template:BollywoodHungama for all the conditions. As per that i dont think this image is copyrighted. However, it is necessary to provide the link to the exact image and the file to be tagged with this template so that it get reviewed. You may yourself add the image link in file description so an admin or reviewer can check it. Or you may ask the uploader to do so, for this as well as the cropped image. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 14:42, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

De-adminship warning

Dear Dharmadhyaksha. I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section/Aug-Sep 2020 within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!

Dear Dharmadhyaksha

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello Dharmadhyaksha,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have 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 them, 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!

Affected:

• File:10 years of Lagaan.jpg

And also:

• File:Mansi Parekh 2.jpg
• File:Rupa Ganguly.jpg

Yours sincerely, Fæ (talk) 19:28, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

File:Bandera CELAC.png

Hi Dharmadhyaksha. Would you mind taking a look at File:Bandera CELAC.png and checking whether it's the same as File:CELAC.png which you deleted as a copyvio back in December 2015? The uploader is the same and the file names are similar; in addition, the claim of "own work" is questionable at best and more then likely another case of COM:NETCOPYVIO. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:20, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Sound Logo

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,
