Your touchbot

Hi, I noticed on COM:BR that you are running a touchbot, thanks a lot for that! Since some years I did so occasionally, not regularly, when I found out that there are some more categories which are affected by this problem. It's not only the removal of done entries but the other way round as well: Cats that should show up do not yet. Feel free to use info from my quarry:query/7250 for ideas of improvements. Cheers, Achim55 (talk) 10:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Multiple copyvios

Thanks for deleting this copyvio that I had reported. Can you take a look at the related AN report about other copyvios uploaded by the same user? Note that since the filing of the AN report, the user has uploaded two more photographs, which I believe are not copyvios. All the remaining uploads are copyvios IMO except possibly this logo which may (or may not) fall under the "too simple to copyright" exception. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 19:06, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Suppress redirect help

Hi, thank you for helping me rename the image File:Randhir Singh with Prince Faisal bin Hussein and Prince Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud.jpg. However, I am struggling to figure out how to suppress the redirect from the initial file name of the image. I want to to suppress the redirect because the original file name was wrong and caused by a mistake. Please can you help me with this ? -- Rvsingh12 (talk) 23:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

All set now! It had to be deleted by an admin. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:15, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Accidental overwriting: The File

I accidentally overwritten the file to a cropped version using CropTool.

Please cancel the overwrite and return the file to the previous version. Неубитый (talk) 16:13, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Walking directions to Crotona Park Wiki Picnic Area.png

Hello Mdaniels5757,

you closed this DR as "Deleted: already", but the file is actually not deleted, still has the DR template and is in Category:Deletion requests June 2022. Would you please have another look? Thanks. Regards --Rosenzweig τ 18:57, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

@Rosenzweig: That's weird. And looking at it again I should have kept it. Fixed. Thanks for letting me know. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:33, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Adding on here: one of the files at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Philip Davis did not get deleted although the DR was closed as delete. Joofjoof (talk) 06:15, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

@Joofjoof Thanks, fixed. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:33, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

DPLA duplicates

As you've noticed, I started doing {{Duplicate}} tagging for DPLA's duplicates. I wrote some code to determine which is the valid identifier, and then to later rename original files after the new one is deleted. I wanted to thank you for performing most of the deletions so far. Please let me know what is the best approach for me to take here. Would you prefer I tag all in one go? It's more than 20,000. Or I can space it out to not overload the process, if you prefer. Thanks! Dominic (talk) 16:06, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

@Dominic Hmm. Probably all in one run if you can throttle/slow down the bot a bit: that'd still spread it out over 56 hours if you're going once every 10 seconds, 39 hours for 7 seconds/edit, or 28 hours for 5 seconds/edit. (It looks like you're going once every 3-4 seconds now, which is probably too fast for this anyways; I'd adjust the bot to edit every 5-10 seconds.) —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:22, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! It will now sleep 5 seconds between edits. Let me if you see any problems. Dominic (talk) 16:48, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Split?

Hello. It looks like you've recently updated User:Dispenser/Double extension‎. Would it be better to move it to Commons:Database reports/Files with double extensions and probably have separate subpages (e.g. .../Files with double extensions/1) for it? --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 13:24, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

@Minorax Yeah, probably would be better. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

File:CBBC logo 2005.png

Hello!

Why don't you just delete the file? Jonteemil (talk) 16:25, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Because it can be used under fair use on other projects. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 14:17, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Mdaniels5757 and @Jonteemil - from what I can gather back in 2020/2021 on EN it was decided these logos were there illegally or that they all failed "improper fair use" and were deleted, EN is obviously strict whereas with other Wikis not much care is given, Anywho I've removed the logos from these articles if that helps, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 14:47, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

If you close a DR as delete I'd say that common procedure then is to delete the file in question.Jonteemil (talk) 15:28, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:The News & Observer

Hello, and thank you for closing this one. However, it seems you either forgot to delete most of the images or didn't remove the deletion notices from the kept ones. Could you please have a look at it again? De728631 (talk) 20:27, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

@De728631 Huh, the mass delete from the script must have some sort of bug (it didn't work when I tried again). I just deleted them all manually. Thanks for letting me know. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Merge duplicates

Hello Mdaniels5757. My understanding is that users merging duplicates also merge categories. Is this not the case? For example File:Barack Obama meets with healthcare stakeholders 5-11-09 2.jpg was categorized under Category:Healthcare reform in the United States. It was then removed but the category was not added to the file File:P051109PS-0115 (3523390726).jpg. Is this up to the user nominating the duplicate file to do? Thanks. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 22:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

@Cryptic-waveform You're completely right; I just forgot. I've merged the categories. Thanks for letting me know. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:24, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Blank paper deletion

File:Blank Paper Stuck on “Freedom” the Slogan Board in Xidian University as Protest, Nov 27 2022 (cropped).jpg was deleted under G7. It was used in at least three en-WP articles and several articles on other wikis. I technically uploaded the cropped and contrast-adjusted version; obviously it must have been the uploader of the original (which I think was unused) who requested the deletion. It doesn't seem to me to meet G7; any clarification would be welcome. HLHJ (talk) 19:21, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

@HLHJ Undeleted. I'm not quite sure what happened here: I see nothing in the Delinker log saying that these were used on enwiki (or anywhere). —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:28, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. That log is odd. On enwiki, the image uses were delinked (and in some cases relinked) by FileDelinkerBot.[1][2]

All the images in Category:2022 COVID-19 protests in China at Xidian University, which were by the same uploader, seem to have gone; I assume they listed them for deletion via Wikimirror as in the restored file histories. I don't know if the mirror matters. As this is a sensitive topic, perhaps there was some sort of other administrative action that caused the log confusion. Not sure if this helps. I take it there's no way to get a cross-wiki list of articles from which the image was removed, then? HLHJ (talk) 00:05, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

@HLHJ Unfortunately not. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

A user whose uploads may need to be deleted

I am requesting this on your talk page because you were involved in w:en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Keosamnangkh9999/Archive#05_December_2022 and have personally blocked the users listed there on commons. However, if you take a look at Special:Contributions/RRezu, it appears that this user uploaded the file Keo Samnang.jpg, which means they need to be blocked as well. This user is also actively writing promotional articles on kmwiki with the use of other files that they uploaded here. Please consider blocking this user on commons and deleting the files they uploaded. Trezoo (talk) 08:28, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Hmm. I don't see enough relation to block, but I've gone through their uploads. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Question

Hi! I'm just wondering, if I'm uploading a satellite map screenshot from Google Earth, what should the license be? Thank you very much! Đại Việt quốc (talk) 17:49, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

@Đại Việt quốc Google Earth maps are non-free and should not be uploaded to Commons. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:46, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for letting me know. In that case, are there any alternatives where the satellite maps are free? Đại Việt quốc (talk) 21:50, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi There . I have found a photo from an event in London that I desperately need removing for personal reasons.....

its a photo from the World Naked Bike Ride event and repostings have been causing me big problems . I have contacted the original poster , who posted it on Flickr, but he has since deleted it from Flickr. It now remains on Wikipedia commons : please advise as this is really causing me problems with employer , family etc. Thankyou for your help . Goodperson5678 (talk) 21:29, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello. How come File:Tugue Blue Hour.jpg is not a duplicate of File:Cathedral Church of Tuguegarao.jpg? The date and time of photo is the same, the scene is identical (notice the two persons at the entrance), and the position of the church and the tree to the left are the same.

Lowje duplicates

Why did you deleted File:Plaza Mayor de Salamanca, Castilla y León, España.jpg, File:Salamanca - Plaza Mayor (13347610863) edited.jpg, File:Salamanca - Plaza Mayor (13347610863) retouched.jpg (uploaded by different users) as duplicates of File:Salamanca - Plaza Mayor (13347610863) modified.jpg when this file was the file uploaded last. The uploader of File:Salamanca - Plaza Mayor (13347610863) modified.jpg is the one marking this files (and dozens of otehrs) to deletion as duplicates of his own latter uploads. Undelete them as per above. Tm (talk) 18:52, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

@Tm Hi. I deleted them because the different users are actually, per the deleted edit summary in [4], the same person. 1 of the 3 was eligible for speedy deletion under COM:CSD#G7, 1 was 1 day too old for that, and 1 was much too old for that. Would you like me to undelete the ones that were not G7-eligible and convert them to a DR for a courtesy deletion? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:04, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, please and thank you for the undeletion and explanation. Are you sure that this are the same person under different accounts? Tm (talk) 19:06, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Done. I've tagged you in the deletion discussions.

No absolute proof, but the 2nd person very explicitly claimed they were the same person, and I have no reason to doubt them. If you were wondering about socking, there is minimal overlap in time between the two accounts (a few months in 2019), but no abuse I see. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Duplicates

Hello. I am contacting you concerning this.

File:PL Nietzsche - Ludzkie, antyludzkie T1.djvu is a duplicate of File:PL Fryderyk Nietzsche - Ludzkie, arcyludzkie, T1 (J. Mortkowicz, 1907).djvu. They both are from the exact same source (Polona). The only difference in page number comes from the fact that File:PL Nietzsche - Ludzkie, antyludzkie T1.djvu on PDF p. 234 and 235 has quarters of whites page which are not in the original source. Veverve (talk) 22:03, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

@Veverve Thanks for explaining. Done. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Useful?
